Our multigenerational family has vacationed in Florida each summer for the past ten years— Rosemary Beach, Anna Maria Island, Cocoa Beach. We always rent a large house —important criteria: at least 5 bedrooms, 4-5 bathrooms, and a pool.
During the past week, our two children, their spouses, and my husband and I all agree— this is our favorite of all the VRBOs we’ve rented. The early morning sunrise with the dolphins on the porch swing at the end of the LONG dock, the grand piano, the comfy beds, the Captains lookout at the top of a winding staircase, lounging around the pool while our grandkids swam to their hearts content —-our 8-year old grandson Henry caught his first catfish off the dock.
We weren’t sure we wanted to book a house more than a block or two from the beach, but Cape Canaveral National Seashore is an easy ten or fifteen minute drive down 1A—- virtually no traffic and no crowds to maneuver through! Playa Linda is now our favorite Florida beach— clean and pristine. Add to all this, we saw not one but three rocket launches from remarkable vantage points: the dock and the upstairs balcony. By far our happiest and most relaxing vacation.
