We had a great time and loved the property. Can’t imagine having a better view waking up. The owner was perfect and available when needed. The property itself was beautiful and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Thank you Brad!! Loved hosting your baseball stars!!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Dania's beautiful family vacation rental in Merritt Island and it exceeded all our expectations! The location was perfect. We enjoyed the sunset and saw dolphins everyday while there. The house itself was spacious and comfortably accommodated our family of 21 with plenty of bedrooms and shared spaces for everyone to relax. Dania was exceptionally welcoming and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Thank you Camyla! It was our absolute pleasure to host your beautiful family. You are all welcome to come back anytime!
Dania was the most agreeable host and satisfied our every wish. The house has every possible amenity for a family vacation. Our grandkids loved the pool table, hot tub, exercise equipment, game room, etc. The kitchen is well stocked and the views are spectacular. We saw dolphins swimming right next to the bulkhead on two consecutive days. The only drawback for us was the sunroom for sleeping. It was much too bright and hot. We were unable to get the fan to work so we had to bunk up with kids in other rooms. It worked for us but may not for others. We even got to see a space launch during our visit and spent a day at Epcot. All in all, it was a lovely and pleasant experience.

Hello Eileen!
Thank you so much for your review!!
I will definitely make sure that I put in written instructions on the fan upstairs. It is quite tricky. I thought you guys had figured it out.
I would’ve been happy to send someone over to get it working.. and we will definitely have to consider some power shades for that room.
Thanks again I’m glad you guys enjoyed your time. We would be happy to host you anytime!!
We had to request a last minute booking and the host, Dania, graciously accepted when she learned of the unforeseen circumstances. Check in was very easy and the house was all ready for us upon arrival. The kids were very excited about the pool floats and a bin of legos waiting for them. A lovely welcome basket was so thoughtful as was information about restaurants and things to do in the area. The house is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed looking at all of the art. There are so many unique places to sit and relax, read, play games. The kitchen is amazing and had everything needed. We enjoyed the Breville espresso machine! The outdoors is private and peaceful. The kids loved seeing a dolphin swim right along the shoreline in the backyard. The home gym was great and we enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. The kids had fun with karaoke and the game room, especially skeeball! It’s obvious this is a well-loved and cared for family home and we loved spending time there and making memories. Dania was a wonderful host. We highly recommend this beautiful place!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Your beautiful family is welcome back anytime
Absolutely fabulous stay for our family reunion. The property has everything you need and makes it hard to leave. I had my morning coffee on the gazebo watching dolphins, followed by either a quick bike ride or paddle board. Then margaritas on the back deck. We found it hard to get out of the pool once we were in. Pool floats, water guns, diving rings, and volleyball kept the whole family busy for hours and hours. A game of corn hole in the yard and a boat ride before getting dinner ready. The kitchen was FULLY stocked. With many listings I find it hard to cook because you are always missing something, but not this one. The kitchen has 2 sinks and a huge island with cook top making it easy to get multiple people in to help. Every small appliance you could think of is there and even staple pantry items. After dinner we usually spent sometime inside either playing cards, ski ball, indoor shuffle board, pool, or foosball. For once the kids stayed off their iPads and had so much fun mastering each game. Rooms were very comfortable, almost everyone gets their own bathroom as well. Plenty of towels.
Check in was a breeze, host was very responsive.
The location had a lot of offer, we went for an airboat ride and saw a rocket launch from the water as close to NASA property as you are allowed to get. The beach is just a couple minutes away.
Worth every penny!
