Merritt Island Rental

The location worked great for us as it was very easy to get to the beach, Kennedy Space Center, restaurants and shopping. The house fit our needs perfectly and we were all impressed with how thoughtfully it was outfitted. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and cooler for our beach days. The back yard was so nice to just relax in after a long day of "touristing".

Wonderful stay in Merritt Island.

My mother in law and I chose this spot as our home away from home for two nights while we explored Cocoa Beach and the Kennedy Space Center. The house was great for our crew, and it was clean and so well stocked. We really appreciated the beach chairs and toys. Check in was a breeze and the checkout procedures were simple!

Perfect quaint home for a family trip

We loved this home, the cleanliness and thoughtfulness of the hosts. We had everything we needed and then some, from irons and hairdryers to high end samples and amenity products. They clearly really care and value the experience of their guests. We frequent this area often and will definitely be staying here again if their booking schedule allows.

Perfect for our needs

Stayed here for a family event in Merritt Island, Florida and it was absolutely perfect. We were greeted with a kind note from the owner and a bottle of sparkling wine on the dining table. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean and neat. I enjoyed the small details like professional hair products (shampoo, conditioner) in the showers. We stayed a week. Conveniently located.
