Perfect place

This was the perfect house for our stay in Brevard! It was spacious, clean, and was in a great location. We loved the short walk to town, and there was plenty of off street parking at the house. Our communication with the host was fantastic, always a prompt response. My family would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Brevard.

Location was great!

An easy walk or drive to Downtown Brevard shops / restaurants / cafes. Home was clean and spacious. Due to weather we were not able to use much of the outdoor space, but looking forward to returning this summer. Host is easy to communicate with. We didn’t have any problems or issues with this booking or our stay.

Perfect for a family vacation

We loved everything about this property. The cute neighborhood across from the college, walking distance to downtown and King Street, plenty of parking and plenty of room for guests! The kitchen has everything you need to cook, if you choose to as well. There’s even a resident white squirrel who greeted us upon arrival! Highly recommend for a family or group trip.

Super Location

Charming Cottage worked out great for us. There was plenty of room and the floor plan allows for privacy and allowed us to put the seven year old and 4 year old to bed upstairs while the 4 adults could chat a watch TV downstairs. The location was perfect for us due to the proximity to downtown and to the Brevard Music Center. thanks!

Could not have asked for a better home for our weekend fundraising event on Art Loeb Trail.

I was surprised to find a home to accommodate 10 adults comfortably and hoped it was as good as it sounded. To my surprise, it was even better then imagined. Every bed was very comfortable and bedding was very nice; bathrooms well equipped with nice towels and amenities; kitchen was great size with nice appliances that all worked; great room had a nice space for people to gather; as well as the dining room and outdoor space; and even parking was ample. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family and hope to stay there again! Wish all VRBO rentals were this nice!

Great house and location

We have stayed in many short term rentals in Brevard over the years. This one was great! The biggest plus for us was the number of bedrooms and baths… It felt like everyone had their own little getaway within the house. It is also easily walkable to all of downtown. We would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Mandi Burdette Looking Glass Property Management

Host profile image
We are the Sykes family, & we have had vacation property in Brevard for about 12 years. Eight years ago, we decided to move with our three children from ATL to Brevard permanently, & our quality of life has gone through the roof. After about a year, we decided to list our vacation homes on VRBO so that we could share them w/ visitors coming to our beautiful county. Several years later, we purchased an 84-acre farm that we have lovingly restored to it's former glory. We became aware that there was a growing interest in rental properties located within walking distance of downtown Brevard. Many tourists prefer to be near the local shops, restaurants, and breweries. We found this house and decided it was perfect for what we had in mind.

Why they chose this property

This house has numerous things going for it. The main one is the location...it is situated adjacent to Brevard College and within walking distance of downtown Brevard. You can arrive, park your car, and walk to our many wonderful shops, restaurants, breweries, and movie theater. Additionally, it can accommodate larger parties due to its size (5BRs, 3.5 Ba), so it is perfect for large families, cycling groups, and retreats.
