About this property

Spend your next trip with friends and family in this almost 4000 square foot home. Some of the details of this beautiful home include: 1/2 acre lot, newly built, salt pool and spa inside of screen enclosure, lake side property, large stand alone soaking tub in master, spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances and plenty of space for entertaining. The extra long driveway has tons of space to park your vehicles**Maximum amount of cars parked at the home is 6**. 25-30 minute drive to USSSA Sports Complex, 1 hour drive to Orlando Int'l Airport, 1 1/2 drive to Disney parks and 20 minute drive to several beaches. Kennedy Space Center and Port Canaveral are within an hours drive. Business travelers are welcome for long term stay as well!

Although I want you to enjoy your stay to the utmost level, you must also be respectful of this peacefully quiet community. This is not a party house, so excessively loud outdoor noises, guests parking down the street, large events or unapproved gatherings/parties will not be tolerated and may result in your stay being cancelled without a refund. If you'd like to fish(catch and release) in the lake, you must do so only on my property directly behind the home. There are no motorized water activities allowed on the lake in this community. Please use caution when around or in the lake and do not let small children or pets venture near the edge of the lake.

Please use extreme caution when using the pool. Children should be supervised in and around the pool at all times. Guests assume all risks associated with the use of the pool and hot tub.

Enjoy your next visit to central Florida while staying in this gorgeous space!

*PLEASE make sure to thoroughly look over all of the details in the listing of this home to answer any questions you may have. I am happy to answer any questions that you can't find the answers to. Although we do our best to keep the property in the best shape that it can possibly be in, there will be times where things are overlooked or may need to be fixed while guests are in the home. Work on the home may have to occur while guests are checked in, although this would be a last resort. Refunds will not be given for amenities being temporarily out of service, such as the pool/hot tub or the air conditioning. The host will make every effort to get these amenities back in working order as quickly as possible by contracting out reputable companies, but there may be delays depending on how busy the companies are. **Maximum number of guests allowed in the home is 15**

House was nice but there was no toilet paper, garbage bags, paper towels, dishwasher soap. They need a gas grill. No one uses charcoal anymore. The pantry smelled so bad you could smell it throughout the house.

This is a large and very nice house in a great location. The house sits on a large lot overlooking a lake in a quiet neighborhood. There is almost no traffic around the house. The view from the pool patio is awesome, especially in the morning for sunrise.We were a party of 3 couples and there was plenty of space with room to spare. This house could easily host larger groups then we had.The amenities were great with a washer dryer and dishwasher that made housekeeping easy. The kitchen is well stocked and large. The pool and hot tub were great, especially since the pool had a deep end which is rare.The host was gracious and attentive.

Great for family gatherings!

Property was better than advertised. It was ideally set up for our family that had come to celebrate a 80th birthday with plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone. The location was great- easy drive to beaches, restaurants and only 30 min from Vero airport. Lots of towels were provided which is a super plus. The pool and hot tub were great and the host Cindy immediately responded to any communication. Would definitely book again.

Great Property

This house was great! Everything was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of linens and they even left snacks. The check out process was super easy. The only complaint we had was having to pay extra to heat the hot tub and then did not have the ability to turn it on and off without contacting the host.

Fishing in Fellsmere

This house is great and Cindy is excellent to work with. We were a group of 5, we each had a room to our own with one bedroom to spare. I would highly recommend this property, we really enjoyed the hot tub and pool after fishing all day. No need to dine out, the kitchen, living room and pool area is great area to hang out for cocktails and food prep. We will book again.

Great Family Gathering

Our stay was amazing! My grandmother recently turned 100, so we were visiting Florida to celebrate her birthday. There were 13 of us staying in the house with ages ranging from 13 to 78. Everyone raved about what a great find the house was. The layout of the house was wonderful, the pool and hot tub were refreshing, the view of the lake was calming, and the house was well equipped with everything we needed. We celebrated my grandmother's birthday at the house and loved that there was a leaf to expand the dining room table for us all to eat around. Communication with Cindy was excellent! She was always quick to respond, especially when we needed the hot tub to be heated. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and everyone in the family was pleased. Thank you, Cindy!!

Wonderful memories!

We spent a wonderful week at this home, with extended family members, celebrating our son's wedding. When we weren't off exploring the area and attending wedding activities, we were by the pool. It is a beautiful place to watch the sunrise and it is shaded during the heat of the day. The house is beautiful and comfy. It is so large that no one was awakened by noise from other family members. Early risers got coffee and breakfast by the pool and the late risers were able to sleep in. The owner was so attentive. I had a number of questions since we were traveling with several elderly family members. She responded quickly to all of my inquiries. We were very impressed with her timeliness. We have so many wonderful memories and wouldn't hesitate to book this home again.

Pool gathering without a Pool

Pool was green upon arrival on Wednesday and wasn’t useable until Saturday. Friday while using the outside patio around a green pool Painters arrived asking if we could go inside for them to paint the poolside section of the house. We asked the owner if they could come on Monday as we were leaving a day early due to such poor accommodations and they insisted we allow the painters access. Pool lights are controlled by the owner and they are aware they do not work properly. So many issues with how we were treated. Suggestion by owner was that we cancel and book elsewhere. Ages 18 to 85, arriving from 4 states via car and plane and that was the solution offered. We were stuck in this situation and at the mercy of their pool person who made it clear to us we were not a priority and even asked us to tip him while he was there. We had looked forward to this trip for nearly a year and made the best with what we had to work with but it wasn’t what we paid for nor were promised from the posting information on this property.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Aug 2021
Stacey, it was very unfortunate that in the 6 years I have owned this home that this was the 2nd time it had ever turned green and that you all were there to have to deal with that when you arrived. I have apologized to you profusely about this and did everything in my absolute power to get that pool back in working order from the day you all arrived and I was pleased that you all were ultimately able to use the pool the last few days of your trip. I did my best to accommodate your requests, even heated the hot tub for free for the entire stay. I did not initially want you to cancel and rebook somewhere else but I only offered that after you and your husband called and texted me upwards of 20 times a day with how upset you were when the pool did not miraculously turn blue after one treatment. Getting the green out of a pool is at least a 2-3 day process as opposed to what you may have thought. Also, as I explained to you while at the home, my maintenance of my home has to continue sometimes when guests are present, so the painters painting outside had a time frame that they had to finish within and you telling them to come back another day was simply uncalled for. I simply could not have done anything else to make you and your husband happy and even though you all claimed to have loved the "house", the pool being green the first few days ultimately seemed to make your trip unbearable. Regardless, our offer still stands if you'd ever like to rebook with us in the future, I am happy to allow you all to stay at our home with a pool that will not be green. By the way, I would appreciate you being more honest in the review by not making it out to seem like you left a day early because of the pool...you had already made up your mind to leave early from the first day and the pool was blue a few days before you left.
