Heated Pool, Sleeps 21, 2 Kitchens, Custom Firepit, Outdoor Oasis, Near Beach

Message us for a 3D tour and walkthrough video so you can make sure our home is perfect for you and yours! And then get ready to fall in love with our comfy seven-bedroom oasis with a pool heated to 85 year-round :-) Inside, we've got not one, but two fully-equipped kitchens for all your cooking adventures. Outside, there's a cool living space with—you guessed it—another kitchen, plus a living room, pergola, TV, and fireplace. We just gave the whole place a full renovation, and it's just perfect for family/friend get-togethers here on our little Florida island.

Hmm, so what can I say about this home? Well, for one you're going to enjoy the stunning sunsets over the Indian River across the street from our home. It's such a peaceful way to close out the day. Also, if you love water activities, you will fall in love with our heated pool, ideal for swimming all year round! If that's not enough, world-famous Cocoa Beach is a scant 10-minute drive away. Or you can work up a sweat at the gym up the road called Uprising Fitness - check out the workout equipment photos in the listing if you're curious about what the gym looks like.

This area is just filled with exciting stuff. You could take a boat tour to see the dolphins and manatees, visit the Kennedy Space Center, or simply unwind and enjoy the Beach. After an adventurous day, come back home and fire up the grill in our outdoor kitchen. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal as the day winds down.

Our home is in a great location, ideal for strolling with a beautiful view of boats sailing by on the Indian River. It's also the perfect spot for watching NASA or Space X rocket launches or catching a beautiful sunset. We're close to Route 520, so you can easily get to top attractions like Disney and SeaWorld without getting caught up in traffic.

Our location is also near some great beaches and local places like Cocoa Village and Brevard Zoo. If you're into golf, there are some amazing courses around here. Don't miss out on the Treetop Trek and Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary too, they're worth a visit.

Our home's design is quite something - wait until you see the first-floor master bedroom with a private entry. We've also got a separate apartment above the garage with two beds, a full bathroom, and, of course, its private entry. Those spaces are perfect if you have persnickety folks (AKA teenagers in my family) who need extra privacy.

But wait, there's more! This place comes with a second kitchen (butler's pantry), ideal for those big meal preparations. The second floor has another master bedroom, perfect for some quiet and comfort. And there's a breezeway with hanging chairs - just the place to chill out.

We tried to design our backyard to be like a luxury resort we'd see on TV. There's a comfy outdoor living area with a TV, a Custom Porch Swing Firepit, and a Hammock Hut. And, let's not forget about our year-round heated pool.

Pets are welcome for a pet fee of $50/night per pet. They're family too, right? Orlando's airport is about 50 miles away.

Oh and while the home can comfortably accommodate twenty cars, please note we don't allow parties/events without prior approval and appropriate insurance riders.

We can't wait to welcome you to our sunny slice of Florida!

Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: 2 Double Beds | Bedroom 3: Double Bed | Bedroom 4: Double Bed | Bedroom 5: 2 Double Beds and 1 mini-twin | Bedroom 6: Upstairs Master w/ King Bed | Bedroom 7: Double Bed | Bedroom 8: Double Bed

If there are any questions, do not hesitate to reach out!

The neighborhood has whatever you're looking for. It's right in the heart of the Space Coast and Merritt Island - the backyard is the best place to watch the picturesque sunsets or the many rocket launches and recoveries from SpaceX, NASA, etc...

The best beaches are in Cocoa Beach because they removed all of the rocks from the surf area, so take the extra 4 minutes in the car to get to Cocoa Beach if you plan on going in the water, your feet and shins will thank you.

The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet with plenty of space for walks, biking, or taking the kids and pets out for a spin.

Parking is always free and you can get around at any time with your car, or Uber/Lyft/etc are all available as well. It's also a very quiet and walkable neighborhood :-)

Ample Off-Street Parking, Perfect for avid anglers, adventurous families, and sun-loving friends, this home offers plenty of space for the entire group, as well as close proximity to the area’s best beaches, attractions, and shops.

Great stay on Merritt Island
Perfect house for our need fit everyone comfortably and the property has plenty space and places to chill in the yard. Definitely, would recommend this property if you are planning to be anywhere near the space coast. Host was super responsive and ready to answer any question or address any need. Bonus no clean up required, just pack and go. So refreshing. We'll be back

Reunion
Planning a reunion is very hard from the beginning, looking for accommodations is top of the stress list. We came upon this location and it suited all our needs. It offered plenty of room to spread out, enough sleeping space where nobody felt uncomfortable. The outdoor pool & gathering area was nice for day & night use. The outdoor kitchen helped greatly in cooking for so many people. If you have a large group or just a few, you will not be disappointed with this home.

Making Wonderful Memories
Although our trip to Merritt Island was to attend a funeral for our Aunt Sue Head our choice in the VRBO property was OUTSTANDING!! The property is all that it said it was and MORE. Our family had the ability to be together and YET we each had our own space when we needed it. The backyard had everything that someone could ask for swimming in the private pool, cooking, sunning, watching TV or swinging. It was wonderful. The inside of the home was even better with bedrooms and bathrooms galore. There was no need for waiting in line for a bathroom. The kitchen was fully equipped oh did I mention BOTH kitchens. Yes, with the number of family members we had we needed both kitchens. This wasn't just a house it felt like a home to us, believe me we will be back. A special 'thank you' to Cassidy who is a member of the Property Management Team. She responded to all of my texts quickly and provided us with such care during our stay. As a side note Cassidy became my sister's best friend...my sister Cheryl ALWAYS travels with her favorite well-seasoned cast iron skillet (she makes the most wonderful breakfast meals that we all enjoy!!!). Cheryl left her skillet when we left the home. Cassidy was kind enough to go to the house, find the skillet, and then meet me the following week so I could deliver it to GA where Cheryl was anxiously awaiting its arrival. Thank you to Tim (home owner) and his daughters for having such a fantastic home that they share thru VRBO. Debbie

Overall a very spacious house, I loved the big kitchen table where we spent most of our time. Lovely outside area with the pool and swings under the trees. Everything in the house is in working order, lots of towels and extra linen. The additional kitchen with a second fridge/freezer came in very handy (we were 15 people). The livingroom area is also very cozy, with a great flat-screen TV. We had a wonderful time.

We had an amazing time! The house is beautiful and has so much room! The pool was great, the backyard was huge and so relaxing! The beds were comfy, everything was clean and well stocked. It actually has 2 kitchens (both nice sized) which would be convenient if you have multiple families bringing food and/or cooking. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. From the get-go Tim was such a gracious host! He checked in with us several times to make sure we were enjoying our stay. My only regret is that I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back, hopefully for a longer stay next time.
