Heated Pool Enjoy the private pool during your stay! A new electric pool heater has been installed to help keep the pool comfortable during cooler weather.
Pool heat is available for an additional $10 per night and is intended to cover the additional electricity used for heating. The pool is heated to approximately 83°F, depending on weather conditions.
Please note that pool heat is billed separately after the reservation has been paid in full, as the booking website does not currently provide a way to add the fee during the reservation process.
During colder months, a solar pool blanket must be kept on the pool whenever you are not swimming. This helps retain the heat and allows the electric heater to operate more efficiently.
Explore Sebastian & Florida's Treasure Coast The home is located in Sebastian, Florida, a wonderful destination on the Treasure Coast between Melbourne and Vero Beach. Sebastian sits along the Indian River Lagoon and Sebastian River and offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere with plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing, wildlife viewing, beaches, and outdoor adventures.
The beach is approximately 10 minutes away by car, making it easy to enjoy a day in the sand before returning to your peaceful riverfront retreat.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway, a fishing trip, a family vacation, or simply a place to reconnect with nature, Jumpin Fish House offers a truly special Florida setting.
Guest Access Guests have access to the entire home, private pool, and yard during their stay.
Important Information Check-in: 4:00 PM Check-out: 10:00 AM
If the pool cover is in place, please return it to the pool after each use. During the cooler months, keeping the cover on when the pool is not being used helps retain heat and reduces the amount of electricity needed to maintain the pool temperature.
Come relax, fish, swim, watch the birds, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Sebastian River from your own private Florida retreat!

Peaceful, comfortable, clean, very well stocked property. Definitely would recommend! Host was polite and attentive. The property is accurately represented in the listing-- but even better in person. The pool area is so serene. We enjoyed watching the jumping fish, birds, squirrels, and rabbits.

We love the Jumping Fish House. This was our 4th visit there, and the location, house, and water views are the best. We love the Sebastian and Vero areas, so this is always our favorite spot. Love the wild life spottings too!
This was our second time at Jumpin Fish House! It is our favorite place to stay in Sebastian. Clean, comfortable, close to family and beaches. We love the birds, fish, and other nature right outside the door!!
We had a wonderful time. The house was extremely clean and the pool was amazing. Conveniently located. Communication was spot on. We would definitely stay there again!
Enjoy the house very much, clean and just like the pictures in the description. Appreciated all the amenities, everything is there that you need, appreciated the reviews of the restaurants in the area. My favorite part is the outside sitting area, beautiful backyard.
We enjoyed staying at this clean and beautiful home. The backyard is gorgeous and serene and we saw many birds, jumping fish!........and an alligator who stayed peacefully in the water. Beautiful comfortable getaway!
Lovely home on the water with wonderful wildlife views.
This had been our 3rd vacation at this home in Sebastian. We love the area , the state park, and the proximity to the ocean. The pool area and the canal view is the best part of this home.
We had the best week in Sebastian Florida. The house was better than we could have imagined. Our kids practically lived in the pool and it was so relaxing to be able to see the river behind. The house was clean and had everything we needed.
Was visiting for a wedding and was so thankful to have the pool and be close to all my FL family. Also loved all the different seating areas inside and out. Had everything we needed and was exciting to see the alligator every night. Highly recommend if you have a need to be in Sebastian.
Wonderful stay, host was friendly and prompt communication. House was clean and had everything we needed. Absolutely loved the meandering gator and jumping fish. The variety of song birds were a plus too!
We saw a lot of Jumpin Fish and alligators. It’s a great location. The pool was nice and was filtering better after we cleaned out the skimmer. Over all it was nice for the weekend.
The Jumpin Fish house is located in a peaceful setting with beautiful trees, abundant birds, and jumping fish. It is convenient to shopping and beaches. We found the pool very relaxing. The split floor plan provided privacy for our adult daughter. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return next summer!!
If you enjoy listening to the birds sing and watching the fish jump out of the water, give this cute house a try. The pool is a relaxing place to watch birds come and go. In a quiet and well kept community. Very relaxing!
Try Hen House Eatery for breakfast.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Jumpin Fish house. The weather was gorgeous and the back patio was the best setting with a beautiful pool and the nature. We watched the fish jump, the squirrels run and majestic birds fly by on daily basis. The home was comfortable and cozy. The bathrooms well stocked with towels and the water in the showers was hot with good pressure. The mattress in the master was super comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make good meals at home. We enjoyed making our breakfast and snacks and have them by the pool. We hope to be back one day.
This is our 3rd stay at Jumpin Fish House and it never disappoints. Love all the updates and convienience of having everything we needed. The peace and tranquility of sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee, listening to the birds and the fish jump, and watching our friendly gator swimming made for a great start to the day. Thanks for making this yet another great vacation.
Our second stay at Jumpin Fish House and it never disappoints! The owners have thought about everything to make our visit perfect. Quiet neighborhood but very easy to find and get to. Close enough to everything but far enough away to relax. Perfect patio area for sitting every morning with coffee and listening to nature and the jumping fish are an entertainment of their own. If we could give it more than 5 stars we would. Absolutely loved our stay and hope to repeat next year!
The home was beautiful and very peaceful sitting out on the porch watching the fish jump. Lovely house with plenty of room for the 5 of us. Comfortable place to gather with family and friends and lots of amenities. The only two things I would change would be that the beds were really hard and under the beds were dusty. Some small issues here and there but mostly natural wear and tear. All round a great place to stay.
We rented the home for a weekend family get-together. The house exceeded expectations and we enjoyed sitting outside watching the mullet jump. Even saw the gators. We had a problem with the septic system, but Ashley had the problem solved within 2 hours. Would stay again.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2023
