We had a great time staying in Brevard and this home definitely attributed to our wonderful trip. It was such a large home that my family of 6 adults felt spaced out enough away from each other while still being around each other. The living room had plenty of room and the neighborhood is safe and homey. This is a great place to stay at.

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!

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!

I would give this house a better than 5 star rating. It was perfect for the 7 adult guests that stayed here. Plenty of well-appointed bathrooms, good beds, a well-stocked kitchen with the little things you probably forgot, plenty of room to hang out and just a short walk to town. I would definitely stay here again for our next family get-together

The house was great for our group of 10 adults. We didn't feel crowded. Great location; it is only a short walk from downtown Brevard which has tons of fabulous restaurants! We even saw a white squirrel on the rail of the deck outside the kitchen window Saturday morning!!! Mandi's recommendation for Sunday brunch at the Bohemian Restaurant was perfect. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. We loved our stay at the Appletree Cottage! I would definitely stay again and recommend it to all! Brevard is such a pretty town. I was in awe of all the gorgeous flowers and trees! Such beautiful yards!

Best Rental in Brevard!

I can’t believe it has taken me 4 years to find this gem! We had extended family in and out throughout the weekend to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from Brevard College. Over the years, we have rented different houses when visiting her, but this was by far our favorite! Clean, cozy, well-stocked, and the beds-so comfortable! We will find another reason to rent this property 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.
