Family vacation to the space coast

This is a great house for anyone traveling with children. We recently traveled to Florida with our baby and 3 yr old and this property has everything you could need - crib, stroller, beach amenities, and our favorite the pool and swing set. The house was very clean, the pool was the perfect temp and the hosts were absolutely wonderful! Would highly recommend!

Impressive property

We were in the neighborhood for a graduation party, so a group of us stayed at the property. We found it to be very clean, well laid out, excellent kitchen facility that was extremely well stocked with pots and pans, serve ware, plenty of plates and bowls and even some spices, and parchment paper. The pool was also very nice and equally as well stocked with towels and floats.Would highly recommend the property to anyone.

Hi Robert, thanks for staying at our lovely property! Hope the band trip was great in orlando. We are always upfront with our renters that we are .09 miles from the beach. We are beachside on our little barrier Island, close enough to be at the beach in 5 minutes, but far away for more safety of those tropical storms that occur during hurricane season. We are also so lucky to have no parking costs associated with the Indialantic beaches, including our one and only DOG beach, Canova. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting your family again in the future.

We hope we give you the opportunity to feel at home in our beach house, equipped to host your family and friends and to make amazing memories. Whether it be teaching your child how to swim, or catching that big fish that you have only dreamt about. We are glad you chose our home.

Why they chose this property

The proximity of the ocean is the charm of this home. It has amazing light, and adorned with happy energy. We have an outstanding chef's kitchen, and the open floor plan invites togetherness. The oversized pool is so refreshing, with salt water and heated by solar panels. We love dogs, so approved dogs are welcomed. The yard is completely fenced in with a playset for the kiddos, and a barbecue for the cooks. We love the neighborhood it is in an established mid century modern oasis. Walking distance to Gleason park which has trails & a small pond. Publix grocery store is right around the corner, also a great pet store, shops, banks and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We love this property because we live down the street, and can personalize your stay with specific regional recommendations, whether it be surfing lessons, restaurant choices, or weekend suggestions. We are basically available to be your concierge.
