Great location - Like having your own private beach! Love the Sebastian Inlet area as it is very private and great for getting away and just relaxing. House had everything we needed (and clean) and was perfect for three couples - everyone gets their own bathroom. Newer dock was nice and provided some good fishing opportunities. Host was very accomodating and check-in and check-out was a breeze.
This house has the absolute best location! The access to the beach and the dock in the front cannot be beat! Pauline was phenominal. She made sure that we arrived safely, that we had everything, and made our stay unforgettable!
Our vacation at this beach home was amazing! I have never rented a home before that was so clean! Everything we needed to have a wonderful vacation was right at our fingertips with lots of little extras! Plenty of space to accommodate our family with lots of privacy, but still close enough to enjoy excursions in the area.
his property was exactly as described, perfect! We had 2 adults and 4 older teenagers, and this home accommodated us all comfortably. I loved how each bedroom had it's own full bathroom. The home was clean and the beach was so close, just over the steps from the backyard. The dock across the street was perfect for viewing the sunset and catching mullet to shark fish with. We even rented paddle boards for a few days to play with at the beach. We will definitely be back!
Everything about our stay was fantastic. The house, the owner ( being very responsive), being on the beach all great
Restaurants were a little far but worth the trips
We were fortunate to stay in this little rental! Everything was perfect and the beach was amazing. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful even during a storm that knocked out the power. She was amazing. If you have the chance, this is a perfect place to stay!
You can have your cake and eat it too at the Octagon House
We had an amazing trip to the Octagon house! The toughest decision we had all week was whether we would go watch the dolphins, manatees and sunset on the dock or relax with our feet in the sand on the private beach. Luckily, both were just a minute walk in either direction.
Pauline was fantastic and very responsive if we had questions!
I've never been in an octagon house before and it was so cool! Everything was very clean & anything we could have needed was already there. The additional apartment came in handy for a few private business meetings (for those of us who had to work a day or two). The property manager & owner are very kind & excellent communicators.
The only "con" would be that many things (stores, restaurants, etc) are 20 minutes away in any direction, but that wouldn't stop me from returning or referring anyone. We had a great time!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach! We are three adult couples visiting the family in an area we know well. The beachfront location is premium and we enjoyed swimming, shelling, and long strolls that we shared with many more turtles than people during the week. Sebastian/Vero is such a lovely bit of Florida that retains its old time charm along with many opportunities for excursions: nature walks, museums, dining, kayaking, boating, surfing, biking, space launches—all within minutes of this well appointed home.
We have rented many vacation homes for our family over the years and this was by far the best equipped in many ways. We dined in and had no want of immaculate and plentiful utensils, cooking tools, plates, cups, and storage containers.
It was so nice to find a generous supply of beach towels and cleaning supplies (including laundry detergent pods) that made our stay simple and easy and relaxing. So nice not to have to purchase or pack these things!
Also, the luxury that all of us had private en-suites for three adult couples was fabulous! All rooms with excellent quality king beds. One couple worked remotely all week. They set up space in the private apartment and enjoyed a glorious view of the river while juggling work meetings and conference calls. At times all of us needed robust connectivity simultaneously and we never experienced a glitch or a slow down.
In other experiences this has not been the case and inefficient connection can really slow down the work of those of us juggling work obligations while trying to make the most of a family vacation. It has always been kind of a crapshoot that we can’t really test until we arrive. This made a huge positive impact on our holiday.
Did I mention the wildlife? We saw a myriad of beautiful bird life, dolphins, spinner sharks and, of course, turtles from our all but private beach. Then enjoyed a spectacular nighttime rock launch. Wow!
Our hosts were helpful and attentive from the moment we booked until the day we left. Rarely have I enjoyed such support when renting.
I offer my genuine and very best recommendation for this lovely and unique home. We only wanted to stay longer!
Thank you for a week we will always remember.

About the host
Hosted by Pauline O'Rourke
I'm a resident of South Florida for over 30 years. I grew up in Rockaway Beach NY where I formed my love for the ocean. I spent my teenage years in Croton-on-Hudson NY prior to moving to Boca Raton and eventually landing in Lighthouse Point, FL where I currently reside just two hours south of this property.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because we wanted a beach front escape from the hustle and bustle of built up areas in Florida. We are nestled along a short strip of private beach houses and no condominiums in sight! Yet, we are just 20 min from restaurants and shops.
What makes this property unique
I did not realize you could see the sunrise and sunset from the same location! I remember watching the sunrise and driving to key west for sunset one day. Here I can't decide which I like best. Once I drive over the bridge to this island paradise I feel like I'm on vacation even if I'm just heading up to check on things. Having the ocean in the back yard and the wide span of the Indian River Lagoon in the front is just a dream come true. There are water views are all around this unique shaped home. Viewing of wildlife in the area is also a unique benefit at this location and just one mile away is Pelican Island as well where you can find walking trails. There is a paved path along the river for walking or bike riding off the main road.
