Great Property

Indian River was a great property for our family which included my husband and I our daughter and son-in-law and their 4 kids. The home was very spacious, clean and and provided all of the necessities and the kitchen has everything you need. The home has a great dock and is perfect for watching rocket launches. The pool was a little cool but the kids enjoyed swimming a couple of days.

Beautiful home

The pictures don’t do justice the actual beauty of this home! The size, cleanliness and views are unbelievable. The home offers everything you may need or think of besides the clothes on your back. Think you need a fan in your bedroom, no worries because every bedroom has a ceiling fan and also a tower fan. Beach, fishing, outdoor gear already in the garage waiting for you. Our family can’t wait to plan our next trip and this home will be the first we look at for availability.

A great stay on the river

Everything was as pictured in the listing. Entry was very easy with the door keypad. The home was extra clean and tidy, the view from the front porch and dock was great, and we even got to see a SpaceX launch! Multiple mornings we got to see the dolphins playing in the river very close to the dock. The little welcome basket in the kitchen was super nice, even including doggy waste bags for us to use. Our tiny 5lb dog was very happy sitting on the porch with us, cuddling in a blanket on the couch, or just running around the house and long hallway with his toys. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay again!

Wonderful location for viewing wildlife and cooler breezes

This was indeed a tranquil waterfront retreat! Every day we would see dolphins, brown rays, fish, etc. And on occasion, a sea turtle and manatees. Beautiful sunrises and you can easily watch any rocket launches from the dock. Always a nice cooling breeze sitting out front even when it was blazing in the sun! Lovely spacious home, big kitchen and plenty of eating space. Heather was extremely responsive to any questions or needs, going above and beyond. While you do need a car to get to groceries or the beach, we felt this was way better than staying in Cocoa Beach or Merritt Island (esp with the pool, there's no need!). The neighborhood was nice and the road was quiet for the most part (so easy to take walks) in between meetings. We never got tired of the view - sad to leave!
