It’s the little things

We had originally booked Captains Quarters for one night, however (stuff happens) and we needed a couple extra nights. Joann was very accommodating and we are so glad we got the extra nights. We appreciate the thoughtfulness that greets you as soon as you say hello or open the door. It’s nice to know we have a go to place next time we come this way!

The only thing that would have made this better is if we could have stayed longer! If we are ever back in the area or decide to get away, the Captain’s Quarters will be at the top of the list! And we’ll bring the boat!

Amazing Property and People

From the prompt communication preparing us for our stay to the personalized welcome message; JoAnn went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. In addition to the amazing host, the location was perfect as well. The ability to bookend each day sitting in a chair, watching nature in and on the water was phenomenal. We will definitely be back.

On A Canal

Captains’ Quarters is a nice quiet getaway. Comfortable for one or a couple. The hosts were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Many good restaurants and activities within 30 minute drive. Would recommend if you’re interested in seeing a launch or spending some time at the Canaveral National Seashore.

Natural Beauty

If you don't want to wake up to a glimpse of nature's wonders, pick somewhere else to stay. The quarters were set up for everything we could possibly need and JoAnn was a superb hostess. The best part was the ability to sit by the water and unplug from technology and enjoy the natural world! I highly recommend the Captain’s Quarters to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Great Property- Even Better Hosts!!

We had a great stay. We arrived for Biketoberfest and were greeted by Jo Ann upon arrival. She was very pleasant, welcoming, and friendly. We had an issue with our motorcycle (dead battery) and I can’t say enough about how helpful and accommodating Jo Ann and Steve were to us- simply just good people. The property was immaculate and very cozy. The neighborhood was nice, and quiet. I will definitely be back to stay at this property.

Perfect little getaway spot!

My wife and I have stayed here several times and every time we leave, we spend the entire drive home planning our next trip. The room is spotless and filled with tons of cute little touches (including a personalized welcome sign and a small bag of treats). The location is fantastic - far enough away from the “bigger” cities to feel nice and secluded, but close enough that tons of activities and restaurants are a short drive away. Pro tip - the Garlic in New Smyrna is quite possibly our favorite restaurant in the whole world. Finally, if you have a boat, the location is perfect for that too. Small no-wake canal off of a no-wake portion of the intracoastal with very minimal tidal swing. Tying up couldn’t be easier, and no need to worry about the boat getting beat against the dock while you sleep.

About the host

Hosted by JoAnn Buchanan

Retired property manager. Resides with husband and we are enjoying life on the water enjoying the “saltwater” lifestyle in our wonderful community “Indian Harbor Estates”. We recently renovated (all new) our boathouse on the canal into a fabulous one bedroom suite with private full bath and private entry.

Why they chose this property

Wonderful place to experience peaceful on the water lifestyle. Ideal for seeing the manatee and saltwater birds up close and personal. Close to 2 fabulous beaches and only an hour to Orlando’s theme parks. Near Cape Canaveral where you can experience and feel the awesome space launches nearby.
