Beach Getaway

Arrived to the most relaxing beach house. The home was equipped with everything neccessary for our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and easily accessible to main roads. If we had a question, response was quickly returned. Would gladly rebook if we ever visit the area again.

Terrible Customer Service

Home was as the pictures indicated. The hot tub was unusable. The management company told me it had not been operational for over a year and should not have been listed. Blamed it on VRBO. It was a factor in choosing this particular property. The HVAC system did not work. We were in the house Thursday through Monday. The inside temperature was in the low 60s most of the time. I contacted VRBO, management company and the host. Two different repairmen came and looked at the HVAC but no one fixed the problem. Everyone pointed fingers at someone else. And I didn't mention to them that all of the remotes that we could find for the inside televisions needed batteries. This property is horribly managed by Beachside Vacation Rentals! I was told several times that I'd get a partial refund for my trouble, but have not received anything. This is my first bad experience with VRBO.

Kitchen Delight

We are an early-60s couple; had a 12-day stay in mid-August; property worked great for us. We entertained two other couples with us the first week and our grown son the second week. If you like to cook in on vacation this kitchen is FANTASTIC. Probably the best equipped we have ever rented with a newer gas range, dishwasher, and practically all kitchen appliances you can think of with plenty of serving dishes and utensils and abundant storage and counter space. We are sure the combined kitchen, dining, and entertainment space would work well for most families (plus there is a high chair and portable crib with the property). One couple brought a dog and the back yard was very pet friendly. No surprise it was hot so we did not use the outside porch area much but can guess it could get use other seasons. Back bar area includes a mini-fridge that is great for keeping beverages icy cold. Pergola with grill worked great but did not use hot tub. Some beach stuff including a beach wagon (very useful) and umbrella. Kayaks are available but the canal is not easily accessible at the home. We rent bikes during our stays; location within biking range of Cocoa Beach if you bike commute/enjoy a 5-mile ride. Bedrooms and baths were more than adequate with plenty of linens and pillows, plus bonus beach towels too. We did provide some maintenance notes to the owner for some nuisance items but we still give the property 5 stars. Would stay again with maintenance items done.

Perfect lil stay

We rented this place to stay at before our cruise left two days later. This location is super convenient to the cruise terminals and made our morning of the cruise super easy. We saw manatees, dolphins, a stingray and even an Alligator in the canal! We spent so much time staring at the water and watching what was coming next. This was a true highlight for our family who flew in from the Midwest. The house itself was comfortable, way better than cramming 7 people into a couple hotel rooms. We were about 10-15 minutes from the beach, very convenient. We would definitely stay here again.
