A Gem of a House and Pool

You will never find a more perfect house to rent in Vero Beach. It is close to restaurants, malls, and golf courses. The decor is beautiful and comforting. Everything that you might need is at your disposal. The owner was most accommodating to any of our requests. She is also a Gem.

I don’t think I can adequately express my appreciation for what a wonderful experience and visit this was. The house was IMMACULATE with the owners obviously paying attention to the smallest details. The beds, sheets, home was very comfortable. We were 5, not so easy to please, women and ALL were happy and impressed. A few of us are already trying to figure out dates to return. Ingrid (owner) was incredibly gracious, accommodating, communicative and helpful. I could text her at anytime (and did) asking her for recommendations or suggestions. High end appliances, bathrooms and furniture made it even more pleasurable. I really appreciated the little touches like plenty of towels, paper goods, soaps, laundry soap etc It was greatly appreciated and made our group trip go smoothly. Thank you Ingrid for making our trip even more special. I highly recommend this property.

Too much communication

Cancelled my booking two hours before my flight took off. I had to find a hotel to try and accommodate my 72 year old mother. When I asked why they said they didn’t understand my question from the day before. My only question was what time is check out on Sunday. I didn’t answer my phone at 9:00 at night the night before when The lady try to call me so she cancelled it. It wasn’t the experience I had plan for my weekend for months in advanced. Very disappointed.

Great property

We loved staying at this house. It is such a nice property. My kids loved the pool and hot tub… we all did! So convenient to have our own pool, that was a big highlight. The kitchen is beautiful and Ingrid was such a wonderful host. We went to two of the nearby beaches and both were great with easy parking available.

Vero Beach Stay

Property was well located close to Jackie Robinson Training Facility where we needed to be most of the weekend. It was great to use the pool and hot tub in our down time and the house had everything we needed to comfortably stay and hang out! Would recommend this house to anyone coming to Vero Beach! Hosts were great!

Fantastic Vero Beach spot

We were very lucky to have found this spot. The owners were fantastic and the home was very well appointed. We even had to change our plans and stay longer at the last minute and they were very accommodating. The house is full of all the amenities you need for a family trip including a fantastic pool. We would definitely stay there again anytime we’re in Vero Beach.

Daughter's Wedding weekend

The home was immaculate. Great location, close to shopping and restaurants. Close to the wedding Venue we attended. The pictures do not do justice, as the home is so much nicer. Plenty of supplies and amenities. The host (Ingrid) was super communicative throughout the entire process. We'll be back!
