Spacious, modern house, great location, beautiful water views, great amenities for water sports. Pool was too cold to use and spa did not get warm enough to use but overall a gorgeous house.
We had a very nice stay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was great but the highlight was the view. We saw dolphins several times while sitting in the dock. I’d love to visit again during warmer weather so that we could enjoy the pool and the tiki bar.
Had a great time at the house. Weather was cold, but had time to enjoy the hot tube. Dinning in the area is amazing with some awesome seafood and some great breakfast locations for eating at. Highly recommend this place as it is in a quiet neighborhood and easy to find.
We had a wonderful time, the house and property were amazing, just as in the pictures. We could not have asked for a better place for our family get together, there was something for everyone.
If you’re looking for a great place to stay in the cocoa beach area this place is for you. Located on the water, the kids went fishing and kayaking!
Has a big pool and jacuzzi and minutes from the beach. Everyone had a great time, we will definitely return!
Manatee Key had everything our family needed, my two grandsons age 4 and 7 were in the pool from morning till evening. We seen manatees and dolphins almost every day. More than enough room for everyone!
We had a fantastic time. The property was amazing right on the river, watching the manatees and dolphins from the deck, close to the beach, the kids loved the pool. The optional boat rental was a fantastic option. Oscar, the property manager, was a super nice guy. I can't recommend this property enough for a getaway.
Down in Cocoa Beach for a baseball tournament rented this house instead of a hotel room. Great house for adults kids and anyone that wants to have a good time. It’s well stocked with anything you need. The location is great. The owner is extremely responsive. Kids enjoyed the Lagoon and watching the manatees and dolphins from the dock. Would highly recommend and would again if in the area.
This VRBO was perfect for our family vacation! Very spacious, a lot of amenities, very close to the beach, and the pool was wonderful. Everyone’s favorite part though was being located on the Banana River. We saw dolphins and manatees multiple times every day of our stay! There was nothing better than hanging out on the dock and seeing all of the wildlife. We were also lucky enough to be here during the time of the year that bioluminescence happens on the river so every night we made sure to go out and splash around in the river and watch the water light up!
This property had everything you could need to have an awesome, fun and relaxing stay. Clean, plenty of space, great views, great air conditioning (which is so needed lol) and all the amenities one needs! 10 out of 10
House was better than the photos. The room with the bunks is perfect for young adults. All beds were comfortable and the house had all of the beach necessaries. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Owner communication was a 10+. Fishing, kayaks, pool, hot tub, grill were all used. Kitchen had everything needed for cooking, 2 refrigerators. We have zero complaints.
Booked this home to continue vacay after cruise on Royal Caribbean's new ship, Utopia Of The Seas.
The home was as described and very clean. We sat on the rear yard dock and watched dolphins everyday, we even saw a couple of manatees. Also saw a rocket launch.
The manager was amazing! I would highly recommend. We are already planning to return after our next cruise.
This house had a very good set up! kids rooms with two bunkbeds, an open space living room and kitchen. Then you have two bedrooms on one side of the house separated by the pool And then a master bedroom in the laundry room on the other side. all 3 rooms have window sliding doors that lead out to the pool. There’s also outside barbecue grill and Tiki hut for eating and drinking, kayaks, fishing rods, ice machine, a rental pontoon boat and separate dock to fish from. It has it all . Definitely staying again. I will treat this like my home away from home. Oh yes, they also have bikes and electric bikes, Tesla charging stations, and wonderful neighbors!
Our family of 7 stayed here between Christmas and New Year's. The house listing and pictures are accurate. Plenty of room and the location is super convenient to all the attractions.One of the most enjoyable aspects was watching the dolphins and manatees off the dock. The pelicans provided constant entertainment.There are 2 suggestions I would make that would greatly improve the quality. Adding a gas heater for the pool that guests could pay for in winter months (we were not able to use the pool as it was just too cold). Adding C02 traps on the dock and tiki bar area to mitigate the biting insects (black midge flies) during their active times.While we had a nice time, it was a bit buggy and not being able to use the pool was a little disappointing.Understandably, it's coastal Florida so maybe we should have known better as well. Overall, we had a nice time and the house is lovely. There's plenty of beds and room and it's comfortable and clean.
Location was fabulous, tons of wildlife! Manatee right by dock, dolphins , hero , egrets…you name it we saw it. Hot tub had no power but the property manager for somebody there and was fixed within a couple hours. The house has literally everything you need!
My family and I take a trip to Florida every year and this house is our favorite. It has everything you need and everything is so close. We will definitely be back!!
We didn't get to do as much as we would have liked because we were busy with the event we attended. There was a minor issue but the host responded quickly and that really made things better. We'd like to return at some point and take more advantage of the property. We're grateful for such a great host.
