About this property

The Burrow, an amazing floating cabin with pontoon rental available


Tucked into a quiet cove off Grant Island in the Indian River Lagoon, The Burrow is a one-of-a-kind floating cabin designed for those who want to unplug without sacrificing comfort. Surrounded by water and accessible only by boat, this secluded retreat offers a true escape—while still being within reach of waterfront restaurants and the Sebastian Inlet.

Wake up to dolphins gliding past the deck, spend your days fishing, paddleboarding, or birdwatching, and unwind each evening with panoramic sunset views from the wraparound porch. Whether you're seeking adventure or tranquility, The Burrow offers a memorable setting to reconnect with nature and the people around you.

The cabin is powered by a combination of solar energy and a gas generator, giving you an off-grid experience with modern comforts. Enjoy air conditioning, a hot shower, and your morning Nespresso coffee, along with a microwave and cooler for added convenience.

The main living area includes a queen bed, a settee that converts into a twin sleeper, and a spacious bathroom. A cozy loft, accessed by ladder, features an additional queen-size bed—perfect for families or small groups.

Getting There & Exploring
Guests are welcome to bring their own boat (please inquire if it has a deep draft), or you can rent our pontoon boat directly through us. While not required, having a boat greatly enhances your stay—giving you the freedom to explore nearby spoil islands and local waterfront dining.

We offer flexible check-in and check-out times for guests bringing or renting a boat, depending on availability. For reference, comparable boat rentals in the area are around $650 per day—our bundled option offers added value with full access throughout your stay.

If you prefer not to bring or rent a boat, we’re happy to provide transportation to and from the cabin at check-in and check-out (after 3 PM arrival / before 11 AM departure). Additional trips may be arranged upon request, or local water taxi services are available for a small fee.

Guest Access
You’ll have full, private access to the entire cabin.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
