The house was perfect for what we needed. There are some things that could improve but overall its a very nice stay. We totally recommend it. Specially if you need to be near the water for boating activities. The neighborhood is safe and friendly. Michael the host is great and responds any messages in no time.

Thank you! The canal and the dock are the point of this house, so we are glad they earned their keep. Messages get answered fast here, by rule. See you on the next trip. Michal, property manager

Our only concern was the bath towel and wash cloths. Did not seem to have enough for the 10 guests. We did find a large basket of beach towel in the laundry room though.All in all, we were happy with the location and our stay. We loved sitting outside and watching the manatees swim in the canal.

Thank you for the honest note on the towels; that is the kind of detail we would rather hear than not. We are glad the manatees showed up while you sat out back. Thank you for staying with us. Michal, property manager

We had a wonderful stay at this Merritt Island home. The house is near perfection and is very accurately depicted in the photos and description provided by the host. Dare I say, it is the perfect getaway on the Space Coast?We appreciated how clean and well-maintained the house was. It was well-appointed and had everything we could ever need. We were in awe of how well stocked the kitchen was.The bedrooms were very comfortable and decent-sized, with high-end bedding. The living room/TV room was extremely comfortable as well and highly functional. Perfect for lounging, TV watching, or playing board games. We did all of this. The screened lanai was a big hit. We loved all the seating options. If you have never experienced a canal home, you are in for a treat (within minutes of arriving, we spotted a dolphin). Sunrise and sunset over the canal did not disappoint. You will definitely get plenty of opportunities for stellar pics (worthy of making your family and friends back home jealous).The house is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, on a well-maintained residential side street. Yet it is very conveniently located. It is only 45 minutes to and from MCO, and it is right off the Beachline (528). Walmart and Walgreens are about 5 minutes away. Publix, CVS, Starbucks, and many other conveniences are all within ten minutes. The host stayed in touch and was available to provide any assistance we may have needed - but we needed and wanted for nothing.

Thank you for such a complete picture of the house; a dolphin within minutes of arriving is the Canal's way of saying hello. We will keep the porch light on for the next Space Coast run. Michal, property manager
