We were amazed by the great location and comfort of this cozy home. We had an easy walk along the river just out our front door. The home has a spacious, well-appointed, fenced in back yard that was perfect for our dog to play and great for us to hang out in. Minutes from shopping, dining and a short drive to the beach. Highly recommend!
Enjoyed my stay. Beautifully decorated with a "Keys" theme. Pups loved the back yard lots of room to run around and play. Met the owner we watched our three pups play. Sandy and Sonic gave the area two paws up. Ocean air, gentle breeze off the beaten path. Pedro and Laurie are great hosts helping me with any question I had. If you would like a quiet relaxing get away you have found it.
We enjoyed a short stay. Very cute and charming cottage. Owners were very responsive with questions. Easy checkin/checkout. Very clean and comfortable. Note this property is not on the river, which was kind of confusing due to some of the photos on the listing. You can take a short walk around the block which is nice but there is no river access (private property.) we took a day trip over the bridge and had. Really nice day on Indiatlantic beach.
It was a lovely cozy/charming little house. I was able to enjoy and get work done. I met the owner's who went above and beyond to my stay more enjoyable by providing resources and information. There is a train noise but it didn't bother me. I will rent the place again.
Great sight centrally located to our visit in a quiet neighborhood, with everything we needed. Loved having the washer and dryer available for use! Great host communication
Local staycation was a success in an area accessible to all stores, near the river, and the house was clean, adorably decorated, well stocked, and comfort.
Charming cottage is the right summary for this location
Very nice and relaxing. The House has been modernized in a very charming way. It keeps the old style of the area near the River , but is well equiped with air con and a good kitchen.
Very quite (exept the train passing near by from time to time) and close to the City Center with very good restaurants. The beach is close and also very beautiful.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
We had a great time staying at the house while touring Florida Tech with my graduate student. Perfectly located, super quiet street & cute, clean house! Loved the close proximity to everything. Thank you ~ we look forward to visiting again!
The place was cozy, hosts were very thoughtful and always responsive. The house was well equipped with outdoor space and minutes walk to the river. Will stay again!
