I would give this house a better than 5 star rating. It was perfect for the 7 adult guests that stayed here. Plenty of well-appointed bathrooms, good beds, a well-stocked kitchen with the little things you probably forgot, plenty of room to hang out and just a short walk to town. I would definitely stay here again for our next family get-together

Great location, walkable to downtown and Brevard college. Older neighborhood, very quiet. Nicely renovated older house with high end fixtures, good cabinetry. Plenty of space for 8 people. Lots of clean linens. Our 2 little pups were comfy too. Kitchen is well stocked and nice, but the stove top is having issues; not all the rings are notworking/working properly. I think we were the first renters after pest control bc there were lots of dead bugs in the bedrooms& bathrooms. Master Bedroom needs a bench or another chair; very sparse to be able to sit or unpack.

We had a great time staying in Brevard and this home definitely attributed to our wonderful trip. It was such a large home that my family of 6 adults felt spaced out enough away from each other while still being around each other. The living room had plenty of room and the neighborhood is safe and homey. This is a great place to stay at.

About the host

Hosted by Mandi Burdette Looking Glass Property Management

Host profile image
We are the Sykes family, & we have had vacation property in Brevard for about 12 years. Eight years ago, we decided to move with our three children from ATL to Brevard permanently, & our quality of life has gone through the roof. After about a year, we decided to list our vacation homes on VRBO so that we could share them w/ visitors coming to our beautiful county. Several years later, we purchased an 84-acre farm that we have lovingly restored to it's former glory. We became aware that there was a growing interest in rental properties located within walking distance of downtown Brevard. Many tourists prefer to be near the local shops, restaurants, and breweries. We found this house and decided it was perfect for what we had in mind.

Why they chose this property

This house has numerous things going for it. The main one is the location...it is situated adjacent to Brevard College and within walking distance of downtown Brevard. You can arrive, park your car, and walk to our many wonderful shops, restaurants, breweries, and movie theater. Additionally, it can accommodate larger parties due to its size (5BRs, 3.5 Ba), so it is perfect for large families, cycling groups, and retreats.
