About this property

SOUTH BEACH & PARK Just a Hop Skip & Jump • CORAL COTTAGE • Fun Seaside Vero

CORAL COTTAGE

Coral Cottage is a classic 1950’s Florida beachside community cottage home with a cool retro Florida feel (terrazzo floors and funky 1950’s color bathroom tiles), which has been updated and refreshed with stylish and comfortable modern touches to create a cozy vintage-meets-modern, east-meets-west, beachy vibe. It is the third closest home to the beautiful tropical lifeguarded white sand beaches and sparkling waters at Vero Beach's acclaimed South Beach Park!

The home is fun for family members of all ages and generations. While the home is certainly no mansion, Coral Cottage offers several good size spaces for everyone to gather together to eat, drink or play, and separate indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy.

Coral Cottage has 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and plenty of living space with large open kitchen adjoining the large family room and next to the dining and living rooms. The home offers easy beach access just steps from the front door. Take the beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach cart provided at Coral Cottage, walk across the street and onto the boardwalk through the mangroves to the beautiful white sand beaches at South Beach Park!

VERO BEACH

Nestled in Indian River County on Florida's Treasure Coast, Vero Beach offers a diverse range of experiences. Pristine beaches cater to sunbathers, surfers, and shell collectors alike. Explore the Indian River Lagoon, one of the most bio-diverse estuaries in the country, for kayaking, boating, and paddleboarding encounters with dolphins and manatees. With its natural beauty and welcoming atmosphere, Vero Beach provides an unforgettable vacation destination.

SPORTS ACTIVITIES

Vero Beach offers a wide range of sports activities. Enjoy beach sports like volleyball, soccer, and frisbee, or try water activities like surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, diving, jet skiing, boating / boat charters, water skiing or tubing. Fishing enthusiasts can try freshwater or deep-sea fishing, while golfers can enjoy scenic world-class courses, and tennis players can play on Har-Tru clay courts.

Each year, thousands of baseball players and other young athletes come to Vero Beach to take advantage of our Jackie Robinson Training Complex (Dodgertown), just a short drive from Coral Cottage. Cyclists and hikers can explore nature trails, ensuring there's something for everyone.

Want to be sporty, but don't want to leave your little slice of paradise at Coral Cottage? Try your hand at surfing or body boarding on the ocean just steps from the house, throw the frisbee on the beach, or just take it easy playing corn hole or other games at home.

CULTURAL AND ARTS ACTIVITIES

Vero Beach's vibrant cultural scene includes art galleries, exhibits, comedy and Broadway-quality performances at the Riverside Theatre. Nearby museums like the Navy SEAL Museum and Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum highlight the region's history. The Vero Beach Museum of Art showcases contemporary art and offers educational programs. Numerous cultural festivals celebrate music, food, and traditions, adding vibrancy to the area.

Coral Cottage itself showcases a number of pieces of Chinese folk art which have been incorporated into its design, furniture and furnishings. Look carefully and you will notice beautifully detailed carvings and paintings throughout the house, each of which must have taken the talented Chinese artisans of years-gone-by a great deal of time and effort to create. Don't worry, the house is child and pet friendly!

CULINARY DELIGHTS

Visitors to Vero Beach are in a for a culinary treat, as the city’s dining scene offers spectacular fresh seafood, international cuisine, and local delicacies. Seafood lovers can enjoy locally caught fish, shrimp, and oysters. Farm-to-table options highlight locally sourced ingredients, while beachfront eateries and cafes offer a laid-back atmosphere.

Don't miss Vero Beach's vibrant weekend Farmers' Market Oceanside for fresh produce, baked goods, and artisanal crafts, just a short drive (or a bit longer walk) from Coral Cottage. You and your family / guests will undoubtedly enjoy a fabulous and memorable culinary experience in Vero Beach.

LOCAL PARKS

Vero Beach boasts a range of excellent parks for outdoor enjoyment. South Beach, next to Coral Cottage, has spectacular white sand beaches, a lifeguard station, volleyball nets, and children's play equipment.

All but one of the following parks are located nearby Coral Cottage on the barrier island: Riverside Park offers huge green spaces, picnic areas, and a fishing pier along the Indian River Lagoon. Jaycee Park offers waterfront views and a boardwalk for relaxation. Let your dogs run wild at nearby Seaview Dog Park. Round Island Riverside Park, south of Coral Cottage on beautiful coastal highway A1A, is a notable destination for nature enthusiasts. It has a boat ramp and is great for paddleboarding, kayak eco-tours and manatee watching off the boardwalks. Just a few minutes' walk from Round Island Park, the Oyster Bar Marsh Conservation Area is great for hiking through the mangroves. McKee Botanical Garden, on the mainland, showcases lush landscapes and exotic plants.

DAY TRIPS

Vero Beach provides easy access to exciting day trip destinations. Visit the Kennedy Space Center for a fascinating space exploration experience. Orlando's theme parks, including Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, Sea World Orlando and LegoLand Florida Resort, offer family fun. Take an airboat ride to explore the Florida Everglades' unique ecosystem, and of course to see the alligators up close and personal! For some excitement, try your luck at the Vegas-style Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

LOGGERHEAD, GREEN and LEATHERBACK, OH MY!

Vero Beach is one of the most important sea turtle nesting sites in North America. The beaches near Coral Cottage are popular nesting sites for several species of sea turtles, including loggerhead, green and leatherback.

There are steps that you can take to help us protect these magnificent creatures. During Turtle Nesting Season (March 1st to October 31st): never approach nesting or hatching turtles, never walk on or disturb turtle nests (they look like sand mounds and are often taped off and labeled with orange tape), and use only red light flashlights if walking on the beach at night.

SPACE EXPLORATION

SpaceX and NASA rocket launches are often visible from the beach or yard at Coral Cottage. Check calendars for launch dates and times.

Great stay in a very comfortable house

We loved our stay in Chris' house. Everything was just as described, clean and comfortable. We were 5 people in the house plus one dog, and the space was nicely laid out to give everyone privacy (one person slept on the couch in the living room). We really loved the proximity to the beach and the leisurely walk into town every day.

Fantastic small house near beach

Absolutely could't have been more pleased. Spouse and I wanted week of sun ahead of it warming up in New England, (first week of March). Rental was exactly as advertised. Just three houses from a great beach - no need to load up the car to get there. Place was very clean, and the kitchen well equipped for any type of cooking. Especially liked that there were beach chairs, beach carry bags and umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys for kids. There were a few one speed bikes for exploring the area but my wife and I rented geared bikes from a local shop that dropped them off and picked them up at the end. Considerable thought has been given to make to make this a "turn key" beach vacation house. Chris, the owner stopped to see if we needed anything. We didn't, but it was reassuring to know he was close by if we did. It was a great place for the two of us, but would also be a perfect place for a kid oriented vacation. My daughter plans to bring her small family their next year.

Great location and value

Stayed for a week while our son was at Jackie Robinson training facility. Quick and easy walk to expansive beach with local pizza shack just around the corner. About a mile to the cute shops and multiple restaurants off Club drive. The house is well equipped..not fancy..just comfortable and charming snapshot in time. Ample parking.
