Perfect family Vacation spot!

We have stayed at this property a few times! Can’t say enough how awesome it is for a fairly inexpensive family vacation! We are from Savanah and we spend a lot of time on the water. It’s a great option for the boat and having water time! It gots our lifestyle and always enjoy the convenience of being near the tourist area but, not all the expensive costs to go along with it! We will certainly be back again! It’s worth it!

Beautiful home, stunning view

Our family had a perfect long weekend celebration for our Dad's 80th birthday. So many cozy spaces to comnect and relax, we brought our boat and fishing gear, cooked great meals and got to bring the pups along so we didn't have to stress about their care - checked all the boxes!! You'll want to wake early to catch the sunrises. You'll be glad you did! Host was very informative and quickly responded to our questions. US-1 can be a busy road but we did not have a problem waiting for a break in traffic to cross. The dock is well lit and in good condition. This was a very peaceful and sweet spot! Smiles and good times were abundant!

Nightmare on the River

Total nightmare. Raw sewage backed up into the showers 8 days into our 18 day stay. Without a place to stay we had to return home which caused our 76 yr old mom to miss scheduled medical appointments in Florida. The management would not even refund the cleaning fee as asked! Unbelievable really. The final gift was our 4 month old puppy bringing home fleas from their backyard! The location is horrible - the busy road in front yard prevented any walking or biking from the home. Window units in the bedrooms. Horrible experience overall.

Family Friendly

So worth it! Was in town for our granddaughters 1st birthday, had a great time. Plenty of room for all that stayed or stopped by to say hi. Great back yard with lots of room to run around with the kids and dock across the street where we watched dolphins on a couple of occasions. If back in the area in the future we'd definitely stay again.!

Beautiful Sunrise on the River

Our family had such a wonderful time! Our dog was in heaven and he felt like this vacation was for him! So many comfy cozy places to sit and hangout with friends or family! The view was AMAZING! I grew up in the Sebastian area and it just felt like home. The kids loved the kayak and paddle boards on the property and the dock was top notch! We definitely will be back!

We take great pride in creating an experience that feels personal, peaceful, and truly special. We are confident that you will love your stay at our home—and we look forward to helping you make memories that last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, convenience, and access to the water lifestyle we love. Located right on U.S. Highway 1, Sunrise on the River has direct water access to the Indian River—a rare and valuable feature that makes it easy to enjoy boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing without ever leaving your own backyard.

The area is known for being boater-friendly, with two nearby public ramps, close proximity to the Sebastian Inlet, and plenty of local outfitters for boat or equipment rentals. Whether you're cruising to the Sand Bar, spotting dolphins and manatees, or just enjoying a peaceful sunrise over the water, this location offers it all.

We also love that it's quiet and laid-back, yet close to everything—including Vero Beach and Melbourne Beach (just 20 minutes away), and top attractions like Kennedy Space Center and Orlando's theme parks, all within driving distance.

This neighborhood lets us feel like we're "away from it all" while still having quick access to dining, shopping, and adventure. It’s truly a place where you can unplug, unwind, and make memories, which is exactly why we chose it—and why we love sharing it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Sunrise on the River isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s a riverfront experience rooted in relaxation, nature, and unforgettable moments. What makes our home truly special is the combination of private water access, boater-friendly amenities, and the peaceful, personal touches of a place that has been filled with years of cherished memories.

Located directly on U.S. Highway 1 with private dock access to the Indian River, our home offers the rare luxury of arriving with your own boat or renting locally, and mooring it right in the backyard, complete with lighting, power, and freshwater.

Enjoy your morning coffee with breathtaking sunrises, fish or paddle out from the dock, and watch dolphins and manatees swim by—all without leaving the property. The gazebo, fire pit, hammocks, and multiple outdoor lounging areas let you soak in nature in complete comfort.

Inside, you’ll find a home designed for both comfort and connection: spacious living areas, a fully equipped kitchen with river views, and bonus hangout zones like our garage lounge/bar.

We’ve built a life of memories here with family and friends—and now we’re thrilled to offer that same opportunity to you. Whether you're seeking peaceful relaxation, water adventures, or a unique family-friendly retreat, Sunrise on the River delivers a stay that feels like home—only better.
