Jan-April : min stay: 27-30 nights

Escape to Paradise on the Treasure Coast. Let your worries drift away on the ocean breeze. Just a short stroll from your doorstep lies a privately-deeded beach and protected turtle preserve—an oasis of tranquility where your footprints lead to serenity.

Step inside and be enchanted by the shabby-chic Bahamian décor, a whimsical blend of comfort and coastal charm. The home’s fully equipped amenities invite you to unwind completely—whether it’s through peaceful relaxation or spontaneous laughter.

Island-Inspired Living Spaces Your getaway includes a sun-drenched sunroom, a cozy living room, and multiple dining areas:

• A cheerful breakfast nook

• 1 King bed
• 1 Queen bed
• 1 Full bed
• 1 Queen-size sofa bed

The two full bathrooms feature either a deep soaking tub/shower combo or a glass-enclosed rain shower, both with stone countertops—one showcasing a stylish vessel sink.

Funky & Functional Kitchen The galley-style kitchen is a showstopper, with sleek black granite countertops and top-tier appliances. Whether you're whipping up a tropical breakfast or a seafood feast, you'll want to dine in style.

Artful Touches & Outdoor Bliss Vibrant artwork adds personality throughout the home, while outside, the oversized, screen-enclosed heated* pool awaits. Set on a cobblestone patio, it’s surrounded by lush landscaping, a tranquil waterfall, and all the essentials for fun:

• Pool toys and floats
• Lounge chairs
• Barbecue grill
• Multiple outdoor dining areas

Moments to Savor Watch breathtaking sunsets, sip Pina Coladas with loved ones, and let the ambiance of the Treasure Coast awaken your senses. This home was thoughtfully renovated to celebrate nature, comfort, and joy. The only challenge? You may never want to leave.

The house was wonderful for our family of 4 and two little dogs. Colleen was very helpful and had everything in the home you would ever need, from kitchen supplies to beach needs. The home was beautifully decorated and was obvious Collen put a lot of love into it. The pool and grounds were beautifully maintained. We highly recommend this property.

Excellent Getaway!!

We truly enjoyed our stay! The house felt like home. It was well stocked, with everything you could need for the pool and beach. The kids loved the pool. The private beach was a short walk away, and the beach wagon was very helpful in transporting sand toys, chairs (all provided). Highly recommend a stay!!

Wonderful stay

We enjoyed staying in this home. The home was great and well appointed. We had everything we needed for fun in the pool and at the beach. The wagon for pulling beach stuff was priceless. We all enjoyed riding the bikes around the neighborhood, especially the tandem bike. Vero was a very nice clean and quiet beach town. We enjoyed our stay greatly.

Colleen is hostess of the year! She’s wonderful to work with and so gracious and accommodating. Her property is perfect for a family vacation and well appointed for all needs. We enjoyed the pool and the short walk to the beach every day. There are pool/beach toys available, plenty of beach towels, games and puzzles for rainy days, and plenty of kitchen items. We loved our stay and are looking forward to a return visit.

This lovely three bedroom two bath pool home, located one block from the beach offers a tropical retreat. Enjoy ocean breezes and long walks on the beach. For those who like boutique shopping, the island stores are just a short car or bike ride away. There are plenty of upscale restaurants available to satisfy discriminatory palates. The nearby Riverside Theater offers a wide array of venues. This home offers easy access to all that Vero has to offer.

Family vacation

This property was everything we could have asked for in the perfect vacation rental. Beautiful home and property, quick walk to the beach and wonderful location. There was 7 of us and we had more than enough room. Colleen is a wonderful hostess and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this property and hostess and would most assuredly rent again. My only complaint is the Queen and full beds were a bit hard but we were so tired from all the fun it didn’t really bother us.

What a great home! Wonderfully decorated, nice pool, a short walk to a private beach. Paradise. Colleen takes great care of her home and you will love to meet her! Home has games, cable, all the kitchen accessories you will ever need. You will not be disappointed. We even had a Category 1 hurricane and she has storm windows, inside the house you could not even hear it! Look forward to coming back as soon as we can again!

Great house and so close to the beach

My husband and I stayed here for 2 months and loved how close we were to the beach. It was just a 5 minute walk there and Colleen has everything you need for a day at the beach. The house was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The house also has many amenities to make your stay easy. The pool was amazing and warm. We had family down during our stay and there was alway enough room for all of us. We had a great time and if you need anything just call the owner, Colleen. She's a friendly, nice lady that is always willing to help you out with anything. Thank you Colleen for the wonderful house that created many good memories for our family.

A great week in Vero

This was one of our several visits to Vero Beach. Each time we have stayed in various homes. This home was exceptional. The pool area was delightful with plenty of space available for seating. The home is a very short walk to a wide, gradually sloping beach. The Moorings have a very nice cabana/seating area next to the beach. The home itself has plentiful amenities both for the home itself and for the beach. We use the bicycles, which were in very good condition. The property owner truly wants her guests to enjoy themselves. She is readily available by phone call or text. It is very easy to recommend this property for your Vero Beach vacation.

Absolutely Perfect

This home was truly perfect for me and my family. We had three adults and three teenagers, and still felt like we had all the space in the world. Each room in this home is large and we were more than comfortable! The enclosed pool/patio was such an added bonus. This home has everything you need for the beach as well! 3 bikes, including a tandem, a wagon, umbrellas, chairs, towels, the whole works! We couldn't have rented a better spot in the beautiful town of Vero Beach, nor had a better hostess, Mrs. Colleen. She's delightful and a pleasure to work with.

The owner Colleen is lovely. The house on the other hand is not as depicted in the images. The master bath is the size of cruise room bathroom and needs renovation. The home needs a deep clean. There were bugs in the kitchen and along the floor boards, flies in the house No vacuum or sweeper to be found. Upon arrival, Colleen was cleaning the house, we arrived 15 minutes early she was still there one hour later. She has no maintenance team available. The cable was disconnected during our stay. The refrigerator and freezer were too cold and not capable of adjustment. Vegetables froze and had to be discarded .The water filter in the fridge, not sure when that was last changed, we bought bottled water as the water tasted and smelled dreadful. The furniture is uncomfortable and not well maintained. The gas grill, ran out of gas. Colleen did deliver a new tank before the end of the day. The yard was over grown and the pool area not well maintained.We did love the neighborhood, the beach nearby and the pool itself was nice to relax and float in. The pool furniture is dated and mostly uncomfortable. We did leave the home in better condition then we found it in. I do think Colleen is doing some upgrades, new roof etc. Hopefully she will update the photos. She is a lovely owner and very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Rosenbaum

Host profile image
Upon moving to Vero Beach, I soon realized this place was a dream come true and that sharing it's beauty and ambiance would be fulfilling and rewarding. So I started renting to seasonal visitors and have never looked back. I've met some of the most interesting, colorful people ever and it's all happening in paradise. I developed my beach house with the tropics in mind and created an atmosphere that allows people to transport themselves in mind/body/spirit so they can feel like they truly escaped. Come visit; you'll be enchanted.

Why they chose this property

I chose Vero Beach because it was aquatic, tropical, friendly, and beautiful. This house just oozes all of that with style. I couldn't ask for more.

What makes this property unique

Charming, serene, a treat to your eyes, fun, and fantastic. You can have it all in one place or know that and venture out to explore all that Vero Beach has to offer. While being mesmerized by our gentle breezes, smelling the salt air, you can choose your own splendor in the tropics. There's plenty of unique restaurants, water adventures, excursions, theme parks one and a half hour away, and much much more. As they say, some things you just have to experience. Come see for yourself. Vero Beach is truly unique unto itself.
