Hi Daniel, We're glad you enjoyed your stay. And hopefully your pup will enjoy the ball. It's a dog park favorite. Rob
I couldn't have enjoyed my stay more. I had my own personal balcony for morning coffee and watching the ocean waves. Good food was within easy walking distance (restaurants, groceries and wine). I wanted for nothing.
We loved it here. It was clean, quiet, and in a great location. The owner was super accommodating and so nice. We had everything we needed! Would recommend!!!
Great beach place. Right across from the beach and very clean. Highly recommended.

Rob and Barb were wonderful hosts to my family and our 2 pups. House was amazing and on a quiet street directly across from the beach with many easy access points. Barb even took doggie pictures for us! We had everything we needed and then some. Easy walk to numerous stores and restaurants. I definitely want to stay again.

Great space for a small family stay with our pet dog. Had everything we needed. Just feet from the beach. In the center of Indialantic. Walking distance to several restaurants. We had a great time.

Thanks Mike. And thanks for staying with us. See you and your pup again soon. :). Rob & Barbara
We stayed here for our honeymoon. It was absolutely wonderful. We plan to come back every year and spend the same week here forever. We are already missing it and counting the days until we return next year.

I love that you're coming back forever! And if we'd only known it was your honeymoon. We owe you a little something from the beach during your next stay.
Plus now you're in the Beach Buddy Club for special deals. :)
See you at the beach!
Rob & Barbara
Very clean home with all the essentials. The included beach towels and chairs made going to the beach several times a day super easy. Can't beat the location and ocean view from the front balcony. Along with the beach right outside the front door, it's a close walk to nearby coffee shops, surf shop, bars, and restaurants.
Spent lots of time on our covered balcony. It's the perfect ocean view!!!

Hi Leeana, We're glad you liked that great ocean view, although I don't know how you wouldn't. :)

PS. We've got a live beach cam now so you can always check the waves.
Just had a great week on the beach. Our house was well appointed, clean and very accessible. Rob was really helpful. Will definitely refer this place to our friends.

My second stay in a month at this property - still wonderful
Can't say enough about this beautiful and lux apartment. I stayed next door last month. Came back to be near to family, but also near to the beautiful beach. every room in this condo is so bright and lovely. The managers are wonderful and the whole stay is nothing but a dream.
The Coconut Bungalow was perfect... Layout felt quiet, secluded and yet everything was within walking distance. Rob was easy-going, accessible and a great guide. He even brought us fresh bananas from his tree! So many memorable moments here. We can't wait to go back!

BANANAS!!!! We've been baking banana bread for a couple of weeks and now there's another batch ripening just in time for Christmas gift giving! Those little home grown ones sure are tasty.
Enjoy the holidays and we'll see ya at the beach!
Rob & Barb
Nice house and location to beach was excellent. They also provided everything you could need for a great beach vacation. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, and beach toys. Beds were great.
Only complaint would be there really isn’t a downtown area you can walk to.

HI Rose, We're glad you enjoyed your stay and although all the services like grocers, restaurants, etc are of course very closely, I hear ya that this little one square mile beach town doesn't have much of a downtown for hanging out. We're definitely going through a growth phase though, so maybe by your next visit we'll have that too!
Thanks again for staying with us. :)

About the host
Hosted by Rob @ the Bungalow
Retired boatbuilder, current small business owner, surfer, traveler, fisherman, and avid beach bum living the life on this great hidden gem of a beach. We've been hosting guests at the Bungalow for over 20 years and have been members of our local Chamber of Commerce throughout, so we can hook you up with anything you might need from extra beach chairs to caterers to wildlife tours.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. The Beach Bungalow is on the closest beach to DisneyWorld and our dog & family friendly oceanfront villas are within a couple of blocks of all the amenities in our little beach town, including numerous restaurants, shops, .
What makes this property unique
Oceanfront and sunset balconies, custom wood and tile work throughout, Private and fully fenced deck/garden area with your own private in ground spa. All within a small beach town with everything you'd ever need within a few blocks of your villa at the Beach Bungalow. The perfect place to kick back and enjoy beach life.
The Bungalow also has some interesting historical significance too. A woman named Dorothea Minskoff had it built in 1979 and lived in what is now the Palms villa until passing away in 1987. You can check her out on Wikipedia. Dorothea was a lead prosecuting attorney at the Nuremberg Trials. She and her husband were the only husband and wife legal team among the many hundreds of legal staff in Nuremberg from the four prosecuting countries; USA, France, UK, and the USSR. I purchased the building from her estate in 1987. There has always been a very calm vibe about the Beach Bungalow felt by many of our guests, even above the comforting nature of small town beach living or the comfortable setting of the villas. Time can stop here. People get to relax and just be. Off to the balcony, crosswalk or beach for sunrise (maybe), coffee and toast or croissants on the oceanfront balcony, then maybe choose to set up camp with umbrellas and beach chairs, strolling back and forth to the Bungalow for fresh beverages, an early afternoon nap, then a nice sunset beach stroll or evening one to check for turtles crawling out of the sea to lay their eggs.. Having kept her cool while prosecuting atrocities, she left a calm demeanor in the bones of the building.
Maybe someday there will be a movie about those years in Nuremberg, a town suddenly inundated with the prosecuting staff. The USA alone had 640 people. What were the bars like on a Friday night? And all the interaction between the staffs of four different countries, after winning a war they all fought in? Definitely the stuff of movies. Yes, the Bungalow is unique. Book a week and find out. :)
