Overall the property was great would definitely come back and stay again and recommend it to friends and the wildlife cranes deers Turtles and fish in the pond great time thank you so much
Perfect location just far enough off the beaten path to relax and close enough to enjoy the local shops and cuisine.
Definitely a return visit in the future.
Bonnie was great and on top of the booking and communications. Her home was a described. The home had everything you needed and more. Close to enough to everything but nestled away to be peaceful. Will definitely book again.
Beautiful clean home with a very nice owner who goes above and beyond to meet your needs. It is always my favorite home away from home and I leave feeling relaxed. Thank you again for a beautiful weekend. We will be back.
What a hidden gem just outside of Sebastian we absolutely love the property and the house and all the decorations. The property managers were wonderful with their communication and accommodations. I highly recommend staying here. I would love to stay here again, thank you so much for your hospitality.
The host put so much thought into what a family needs when they are away from home. The house had everything! So much space, from the rooms in the house to the backyard. Our family enjoyed the pool while having wildlife visit us(turkey, deer, rabbits, sand hill cranes) such a peaceful environment.
Minutes from stores, beaches, and shopping centers
This place will definitely be our go to when we visit the river.
Beautiful home inside and out! Very private and peaceful!
We had a wonderful time bringing in the new year here! We had a fire pit, pool time, and grilled on the lanai. It was peaceful and we loved feeding the Sandhill Cranes that visited daily. Rt. 1 had so many areas to park and to enjoy the water views and local restaurants. Lovely home inside and out.
Loved staying here. So many personal touches, lovely home, pool, pond, big property, so peaceful. Made our Christmas so memorable!! Thanks so much to the hosts, you guys are amazing!!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Highly recommended!!
Bonnie was amazing to communicate with, and the place was absolutely beautiful. We saw deer every day and the Sandhill Cranes were around. My dogs loved all the land and we enjoyed the pool on these hot summer days!! 100% would recommend!!
We stayed at this place for a wedding that was held right down the street at Grant Station. It was a perfect short backroad drive to the venue. The location of the house was perfect & quiet! There was a beautiful family of deer in the evening and two white tailed does in the morning. The pictures don’t do the place justice! The bedrooms were huge and there was plenty of space! The children’s room had some toys that my son enjoyed playing with once he got bored of his own!
10/10 would stay again!
