About this property

Waterfront Haven: Sleeps 15, Heated Pool, Private Dock, Near Beach, Tranquility

Message us for a 3D tour and walkthrough video so you can make sure our home is perfect for you and yours! And then get ready to fall in love with our comfy seven-bedroom oasis with a pool heated to 85 year-round :-). It's set on an acre of waterfront land, perfect for any size group looking for a bit of luxury and a lot of fun. You can splash about in the pool, try out some water sports from our private dock, or chill around a backyard campfire. We've worked hard to make our home a place where you'll create memories to last a lifetime, offering the best of Florida's lifestyle and hospitality.

Hmm, what can I tell you about our home? First, you'll LOVE waking up to the stunning sunrise over the Banana River in front of the house. We have a heated and screened-in pool set up for year-round swims and a private dock which makes it easy to watch a sunrise, stargaze, or even jump on the paddleboards and go for a lap. And guess what? World-famous and gorgeous Cocoa Beach is just a 10-minute drive away.

There's a ton to do around here. Try a boat tour to see dolphins and manatees, visit the Kennedy Space Center, or simply chill on whatever beach tickles your fancy. After a day out and about, come home and fire up the grill in our screened lanai. It's a great place to hang out and enjoy the Florida evenings.

We're right on the ICW, so watching boats float by is a regular pastime. The end of our dock is a top spot to watch the sun and moon rise. You might even catch a few of the weekly rocket launches from the Cape! If you're up for a bit of a drive, Orlando with its Disney and Sea World is down Route 520.

Our place has all of the creature comforts - air conditioning, heating, free WiFi, toiletries, linens, towels, and a washer/dryer just to name a few.

Beware for old people like me - the loft bedroom has a narrow/steep staircase, so it's best for the whippersnappers. Also, you might have a hard time locating the first-floor bedroom with two queen beds. I promise we didn't lose it, it's just off the garage and it has two private entrances :-)

If you feel like sticking close by, we've got some neat beaches and local attractions such as our quaint little Cocoa Village and the amazing Brevard Zoo. For golfers, there are some nice courses nearby. The Treetop Trek and Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary are also worth checking out.

Oh, and while we can fit up to 20 cars in the driveway and lawn we are not able to accommodate parties or events without prior notice and appropriate insurance riders, so let us know!

We can't wait to have you here!

Note that the Loft Bedroom is up a narrow set of 'ladder stairs' and the first-floor bedroom with the two queen beds has its own separate entrance off the garage. Also please note the gym equipment photo is not on the grounds of the house, the gym (Uprising Fitness) is just down the road and is complimentary for my guests. Tell them that you're guests of Tim Street.

The property manager will be reachable 24/7 via phone/text/etc.

Our neighborhood has it all and our spot right on the ICW makes it even better. Just grab a chair and watch the boats float by. And don't miss the views from the end of the dock - it's the perfect spot for watching the sun or moon rise, and you might even catch a NASA rocket launch.

Thinking about hitting the beach? Head over to Cocoa Beach. Trust me, it's worth the extra 4-minute drive. They've cleared all the rocks from the surf area, so your feet will have nothing but soft sand. Enjoy!

Just a heads up -You will need a car during your stay with us, since we're not smack in the middle of a bustling town. The closest grocery store, Publix, is about 7 miles north of us, and if you're a fan of Wal-Mart, you'll find one about 9 miles away. It's all part of the charm of being on our peaceful island here in Florida :-)

Beautiful Home
This house worked out great for some of our team to stay while we played ball at space coast field complex. Very scenic exterior with a large yard, views of the water and a great covered patio. We had people over to grill one afternoon and the outside space worked great for it! Will definitely try to book here again if it’s available!

Luxury Home for Family Vacation
We had to book our stay at the last minute (within 48 hrs of arrival) due to a different VRBO owner’s mistake (they double booked and cancelled our stay). So when I booked this lovely home, I was so impressed with how accommodating Tim and his manager Cassidy were with our last minute booking!We got a call immediately from Cassidy, thanking us for our booking and touching base with us for the house rules. Nice!Tim, the home owner, was so quick with his responses if we texted him with questions. Excellent!They actually provided us a link for a 3-D, and a video guided, tour of the home. WOW! That really helped!! :-) This home is GORGEOUS! Heated pool, fire pit and the bedrooms are plentiful! The kitchen layout was easy and condusive for family gatherings. Plenty of bathrooms, too! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home! We felt welcomed and had an amazing experience!

Weekend getaway
We were a group of 12 adults and a pet visiting the area to celebrate 60th birthday of our friend. We had an excellent time exploring the beaches and doing the boat trip on Banana river. We were able to spot a few manatees and dolphins and enjoy glorious sunrises. The host was fantastic! We had warm and friendly communication at every step of the way and making our stay very memorable. The house is right across the street from the Indian River Lagoon and the view was very enjoyable right from the house. We wish we had a few more days! I would highly recommend this great house for your home away from home.

We stayed at this location for a quick spring break vacay. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Check in was straightforward. The property was clean, spacious, and impressively stocked compared to some other properties we’ve rented. The pool and accompanying backyard was our favorite along with the dock. We definitely would recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing place with a waterfront view and short drive to the beach. We plan to return.

About the host

Hosted by Timothy Street

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Tim and can't wait to host you. I'm from Detroit, MI and when I was still in High School I enlisted in The Marines. I then traveled all over the world, and I learned first hand how important it is to have a welcoming experience wherever you touch down. Fast forward to today, and I'm a single dad of two amazing little girls and I own a small real estate lead gen company. This crazy beautiful life has taught me how important it is to become self-sufficient, so I wanted to teach my daughters about entrepreneurship and becoming self-starters. So by way of example, we took our home and decided to make a business out of it, and now here we are talking to you :-) We look very forward to hosting you for an amazing stay.

We've been hosting for over a few years now and we really enjoy exceeding the expectations of our guests and helping them overcome any travel challenges they might encounter.

Why they chose this property

The kids and I love to swim, hit the beach, visit the port and go boating, fishing, etc - basically anything in the water, we are into it. Thankfully Florida has liquid water year-round (unlike where I grew up where it turned solid in the winter!) is the best place we've ever lived and we couldn't imagine life elsewhere.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite thing is to just sit at the end of our private dock over the Banana River and enjoy nature - Manatees, Dolphins, Ospreys and Pelicans are our favorites. The sun and moon rises are postcard epic. Not to mention the awe inspiring manmade phenomena such as the rocket launches from Cape Canaveral or the cool flyovers we occasionally get from aircraft transitioning out of Patrick Airforce Base. Nothing is cooler than seeing a night launch from the dock - the water lights up like the sun.

We love answering questions, so if you have any, feel free to ask. Thank you for checking us out!
