Beautiful backyard on a canal
Trash and recycling from previous tenants was voluminous and left behind. Mattresses and linens need to be replaced. Refrigerator ice maker was not working. Right side gate is broken. House was, however, was clean upon arrival

One word...Roaches
This was pretty much a horrible experience. The 1 star for the overall review of the property was for the property manager because she was a 5 star property manager even though she just recently taken over the property management. This property had roaches, not hoards of them but several and the owner was less than responsive. The outside of the property looks like a hurricane came through and no one cared to do anything about it. The back deck has rotted boards and a large hole in it. My son stepped in the hole and hurt his leg although only minor it still just shows this property needed upkeep. The retaining wall in the back yard is falling in and the fence that has the gas line to for the grill attached to it is falling over (huge fire and explosive hazard). This property has a lot of potential to be nice and very relaxing but it is in disarray and needs lots of maintenance. There were multiple light bulbs burned out inside and on the back deck. The one bathroom in the house is small but manageable. The toilet however is not level and you learn towards the tub when using it. Hopefully the new property manager can help the property because she was very responsive. VRBO wasn’t super helpful either. They started a “ticket” for my complaint but it is still open with no contact or communication since their initial email asking for photos. That was several days ago.

Meets your needs
It’s in need of some TLC but it pretty much has everything you need to be comfortable. It’s a lot better then being cooped up in a hotel room.

Misleading
We stayed at this Merritt Island house for 16 days in February and found the description misleading, the outdoors in unsuitable condition, and way overpriced for what it is. It is far from “perfect”, as it was promoted in the ad. What was GOOD: There is strong WiFi, new laundry, spacious living area, lots of windows that open, easy location for area attractions. The one bathroom is tiny but decent. And manatees did show up in the canal a few times. UNPLEASANT: The couch looked comfy and inviting but in need of a good cleaning. Kitchen was spacious and well equipped but had other people’s leftover food in cupboards, counter, and freezer. What’s with that? Linens were a bit shabby, and there were only two blankets we could find. In the bunkroom, an old tray table substituted for a bed nightstand; there was no lamp; the bedframes were creaky and the upper railing fell off. Furnishings definitely need upgrading; they can hardly be called “well appointed" as the ad said. ANNOYING: These included a noisy overhead fan in one bedroom, solid doors to outside without screen/storm doors (limiting light and air flow), loud outdoor sprinkler system (turned off by property manager after two days of 4 am noise under the bedroom window). MISREPRESENTED: What looked like a pleasant deck area was treacherous with loose boards, sketchy electrical box (no cover), uneven overgrown steps with no rails (dangerous), debris and neighbor’s overhanging tree on main deck, a top deck that was inaccessible, furniture with torn and wet cushions that could not be removed, so nowhere to sit comfortably. One person tripped and fell on the stairs, and we were afraid to use them again. Not “relaxing” as stated in the vrbo description. A newish grill sat next to a junk-filled side yard. Enjoying the outdoors – one of the reasons we chose this location – was made really difficult by these conditions. The listing photo of the dock area is deceptive, to say the least. This house has potential and could be a lovely place. The owner has made some curious upgrades (wine cooler, for instance), but overall, not a place I would recommend or stay in again.

Christmas Family Getaway
This house was perfect for our family christmas away from home!! There were a few things in the home that could be improved, but all in all great location, great house, good times! We were able to launch our own kayaks we brought from the house. Unfortunately we did not see any manatees, but we did see many dolphins, birds, and fish. We would definitely stay again.

Florida Paradise!
If you are looking for a relaxing time in a tropical Florida Paradise! this is the place to go. This property is well maintained, spacious, and is equipped with all of the necessary essentials for a successful trip. Do not let the 12 minute drive to Cocoa Beach keep you from making the right decision. The beauty of crossing the Indian and Banana Rivers make it well worth it. The natural aesthetic of being surrounded by water only enhances the experience. If you are looking for a relaxing and full Florida experience this place is a sleeper. Grill out with the family, and enjoy sanctuary from the sun. Or charter an offshore fishing trip at Cape Canaveral. If you have kids, celebrate the heroism of the Kennedy Space Center, or make the easy drive to Orlando to visit Volcano Bay, Universal, or even Disney. I highly recommend this property for families looking for a casual and relaxing getaway experience.
