Canal-Front Family Getaway with Pool & Boat Dock | 5BR/3BA | Sleeps 10

Welcome to your Merritt Island retreat — a spacious, family-friendly home perfectly set on a quiet canal with plenty of wildlife and just minutes from the beach, Port Canaveral, and the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, grilling in the backyard, or spotting dolphins from the dock, this is the ideal place to unwind and make lasting memories. You’re also just about 40 minutes’ direct drive from Orlando International Airport (MCO), making travel easy for your entire group.

The Space

This two-story single-family home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Downstairs: 1 bedroom and 1 full bathroom — perfect for guests who prefer fewer stairs.

Upstairs: A large master suite with a private bathroom and double-sink vanity, plus three additional bedrooms sharing a full bath.
Each bedroom features a queen-size bed, comfortable bedding, and a relaxing atmosphere.

The open-concept living area includes a cozy couch, dining table, and large-screen TV. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you can imagine — a dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, and all cooking essentials, making it a dream for home chefs.

Outdoor Living

Step through the sliding doors to a spacious screened porch with plenty of comfortable seating — perfect for morning coffee or evening conversations. The porch connects to a laundry room with washer and dryer, adding extra convenience for longer stays.

Outside, you’ll find a sparkling pool overlooking the canal, complete with lounge seating and open space to relax under the Florida sun. A BBQ grill and small dining table sit in the backyard near the pool area, making it easy to enjoy outdoor meals by the water. The private dock with a boat lift gives you direct canal access — and the chance to spot dolphins, manatees, herons, and even the occasional alligator.

We had a wonderful stay at this Merritt Island home. The house is near perfection and is very accurately depicted in the photos and description provided by the host. Dare I say, it is the perfect getaway on the Space Coast?We appreciated how clean and well-maintained the house was. It was well-appointed and had everything we could ever need. We were in awe of how well stocked the kitchen was.The bedrooms were very comfortable and decent-sized, with high-end bedding. The living room/TV room was extremely comfortable as well and highly functional. Perfect for lounging, TV watching, or playing board games. We did all of this. The screened lanai was a big hit. We loved all the seating options. If you have never experienced a canal home, you are in for a treat (within minutes of arriving, we spotted a dolphin). Sunrise and sunset over the canal did not disappoint. You will definitely get plenty of opportunities for stellar pics (worthy of making your family and friends back home jealous).The house is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, on a well-maintained residential side street. Yet it is very conveniently located. It is only 45 minutes to and from MCO, and it is right off the Beachline (528). Walmart and Walgreens are about 5 minutes away. Publix, CVS, Starbucks, and many other conveniences are all within ten minutes. The host stayed in touch and was available to provide any assistance we may have needed - but we needed and wanted for nothing.
