SIX stars!

Cannot recommend this place enough! The house is lovely--spacious, sunny, airy, very comfortable, and immaculately clean--and Robin was beyond wonderful in every thoughtful way. Location is perfect, with the riverside walking path and nearby park and easy access to shopping just blocks away. Neighbors on both sides were friendly and welcoming, too! This is a gem.

Birthday weekend

Came down for our grandson's birthday, and this house was perfect. Walking distance to Riverside Park and directly across from the public riverfront walking trail. Close to everything, view is fantastic, house was the perfect size, clean, and Robin supplied us with all kinds of welcome goodies (plus had all the staples on hand). Will stay again.

Lovely house! / Perfect location!

Robin was an awesome host! The house was as described and super clean. Robin included a lot of extras from toiletries to snacks that really made our 2 week stay feel like a home away from home. The views of the water were beautiful and the house was walking distance to all of our favorite places in Sebastian ! Would definitely stay here again :)

Cute roomy two bedroom overlooking the Indian River

The River House is a home away from home for us when visiting Sebastian. We feel so spoiled when we visit. Robin supplies the home with so many goodies such as many snacks, bottled water, any cleaning and laundry needs, many personal needs, etc.. There are many CD movies, and games for rainy times. The front of the house has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Indian River. You can't beat the view and location. There are many restaurants within walking distance. Robin is a terrific host. The home is light and bright. We love it!!!

Absolutely LOVE this place! Everything you can think if, you have here in this hidden gem. From the small touches such as lotion, soap and toothpaste, to the big items like toilet paper and paper towels this place has everything. I would recommend to anyone looking for a stay at Sebastian that's close to everything, cozy like home, and the best sunrise you can find! Dont hesitate - rent this place!

Riverhouse

The Riverhouse is our favorite VRBO property of all time. The location cannot be beat…..walking distance to multiple restaurants, bars, breweries. Robin is a terrific host. She provides everything you need to enjoy your stay and the level of cleanliness in her house is unmatchable. It’s one of the many reasons we keep returning!!

One Week Escape

The house was spacious and very clean. The kitchen was well supplied with plates, glasses, cooking utensils, etc. There were also paper plates and bowls, though we chose to use the non-paper dinnerware. The bathrooms were well supplied with towels, paper products, and various toiletries. The welcome snacks were also very welcome after our drive. The overall supply of these products made settling in an easy chore as we didn’t need to immediately run to the grocery store and, even then, usually found that something we had forgotten to bring or buy was supplied. This was a great special touch. We did have a problem with the satellite TV upon our arrival. There had been recent storms and the home had been unoccupied during that period. However, the owner, Robin, was there within 30 minutes and worked tirelessly to get it resolved with the service provider. We really appreciated her extraordinary efforts. The location was exactly what we were looking for. We launched our kayaks just across the street. There was a nice sidewalk/bike trail running by the house for us to take strolls and ride our bikes. It was a short drive to several very nice beaches. We also brought along our dogs. The house was very dog friendly. The fenced side yard was an ideal place for us to let them out without being concerned that they would escape. Overall, this was a great home for our one week escape. We highly recommend it and will stay there again if we return to Sebastian.
