The house was clean and well supplied. Owner was very responsive to questions.We did see a manatee and a dolphin swim near the dock. We did not see the sandbar as mentioned in the description. Unfortunately it was very windy and we could not take advantage of the kayaks or paddle board due to the waves.

Hi Christine! We are so glad you loved the River Oak Bungalow. I wish we could control the weather, but unfortunately the water clarity was not ideal during your stay due to consistent high winds, which hid the sandbar from your view. I can assure you it is there and used by many guests each and every week :)

Highly recommend

We highly recommend this rental! My husband and I stayed here for a quick trip. The house and property was amazing. We spent most of our stay on the porch and by the water and saw tons of dolphins and turtles. The hosts were super friendly and helpful with suggesting local restaurants. We will definitely stay here again.

Super unique location on the water with boat access!

It's hard to capture all the wonder of this unique waterfront oasis. From the brand-new colorful decor and trendy finishes to the outstanding views, we couldn't get enough. Relaxing under the winding trees and breeze from the river, we had the most incredible time. There is also plenty of room for the entire family. Bonus for the boat access! The owners were spectacular and so helpful - sharing recommendations for things to do, which were amazing. We will absolutely be back.

Amazing Experience!

The bungalow was exactly as described and then some! Despite the mosquitoes, which are expected in FL, the location could not be beat - 40 minutes to Kennedy Space Center (we watched a rocket launch from the property's dock!), 90 minutes to WDW, 10 minutes across the Causeway to the beach, one mile from fun bars and eateries. VERY comfortable, clean, and well cared for. We will definitely be back! Oh -- did I mention the dolphins, sting rays, horseshoe crabs, and manatees -- all within reach from the dock!

Stunning home on the water

This past weekend my family and I enjoyed a wonderful stay here in melbourne. The property was beautiful and everything was well maintained. The house was like new and very clean. The house had all the essentials and the neighborhood was lovely. Our host was super responsive and texted us back with a handful of recommendations on things to do in the area. We were able to enjoy the most gorgeous sunrise on the water and had a cool breeze that night while we sat around the fire pit. Overall it was an amazing trip and we will definitely be staying here again in the future with our friends and family.

Outstanding Property

Loved this brand new house! I was visiting with my family and it was the perfect spot for a large group. We rented a boat from Anchorage Marina and parked it at the private dock in the backyard and used it all weekend! It’s in a super cute arts district and just over the bridge from the beach. The house is beautiful and comfortable. The backyard is huge and we had a yoga session on the back deck. We also had fun using the paddle boards in the river. Corey was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our visit and will absolutely to be back!

Relaxing Getaway

If you're looking for a relaxing retreat for yourself or your family, this is the place. Beautiful location! From the dock we saw dolphins everyday, Manatees, Sting Rays, and crabs! The afternoons and evenings bring in a warm and crisp summer breeze. Each meal my family had, when we didn't go out, was on the back deck. Swinging and watching our boys play catch in this beautifully landscaped yard was the icing on the cake. Very cute town! We did a ton of shopping and drive to Cocoa Beach for a day and ate on the water. We even got to experience the most beautiful fireworks display our last night because a house down the road had a wedding. We can't thank you enough for opening up your stunning home to us.
