Spring Break Trip--April 2023

We had a great time at this rental. Pool is great and kitchen well stocked. Corner lot so there was some car and bus activity, with just a little added noise. Overall it was a great location between Orlando and Cocoa Beach which was exactly what we needed. We would rent this property again!

Home Away From Home

Renting the Birdhouse provided a relaxing, stress-free vacation for us. The 5 of us who stayed there found the home clean, roomy, well-stocked, and welcoming. The location was perfect for our adventures to mini-golf, Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Fat Donkey ice cream, Sunset Cafe, Playalinda Brewery, Brevard Veterans Museum, etc. From the side yard, we had the added advantage of viewing the Artemis launch!! Thanks so much Joanne and Mike!
