We had a nice time staying in this rental cottage. It is on the second floor and nestled in a jungle forest. IT Is a walk to the beach but there is a nice Park nearg with beach access and washrooms and a ramp instead of stairs going down to the beach. It Is called Golden Sands. The cottage is very well supplied and is clean and comfortable. staying in this uniwue rental cottage.
We always enjoy our stay at Summerplace. Perfect location, just a short walk to the beach. The home is equipped with everything you need for a great vacation. Highly recommend!
My wife and I were pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of this house. The property has plenty of tropical vegetation to give it a private feel and ambiance. Beds and sofas were comfortable.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the treehouse. The property is beautiful and very unique. Great place to relax and recharge. Sunny morning walks on the beach, quiet evenings on the balcony, everything we hoped for! Liz is also an amazing host, highly recommend.
We are repeat renters of this property, and can't say enough great things about it. The place is clean, quiet (even over labor day weekend!) and has everything you would want for a great vacation stay. It's a secluded and cool retreat from the growing hubbub of Florida, and the place is clean and feels new. Had a fantastic time visiting friends and nature viewing in this underrated part of the state. Thanks to the hosts, fantastic job as usual!
Charming home only a 5 minute walk to the beach. House was well-stocked and had nice extras like a screened porch, beach chairs, and an outdoor shower. The friendly manager/owner Liz was super easy to communicate with and very responsive.

Beachside Treehouse
I enjoyed staying in this cozy home in its old Florida neighborhood a walk away from the beach. The house surrounded by the lush vegetation gives the feeling of being secluded in your own tropical forest. Loved visiting the Disney Resort for a quick bite or to play Disney trivia. The best part was being lulled to sleep each night by the sounds of the ocean.
We enjoyed our stay at this house that is built under the trees and bamboo. The house had everything you could possibility need for your stay, including a neighborhood cat that came to visit for a few minutes most days. It was a very short walk to the ocean with a wonderful beach. We are already booked for another year here.
. I just absolutely LOVE being at the 'Treehouse'!! Already booked again for our next trip to Florida. Not much more to say... 5 out of 5 stars..no problem!!
Liz was great to work with. Always answered messages quickly. Gave helpful updates to the check in process which happened without a hitch.

Could have been Great
First let me state the location of the property was Great! However, now let me get into the details a bit more. Prior to checking in, we received no information on how to enter the property. While the owner claimed it was VRBO's responsible to communicate with the renter, it was irrelevant to me as I had to initiate the process!The house itself was quite charming, but alarmingly DIRTY. There were dirty dishes in the cabinet and a very musty smell in the house. Screens on the porches were in need of repair and insects had free entry into the unit if sliders were left open. The odor from the outdoor garbage can was absolutely disgusting.The bathrooms, washer/dry, and air conditioning were good. There was only a stove and microwave in the unit. The microwave did have the capability to bake/roast, but did not have a broil function. Since there was no gas grill, no broiling was available.The listing stated bicycles and beach umbrellas, etc. The bicycles were dysfunctional at best, and the beach items were not any better. The furniture in the unit was old and uncomfortable. The refrigerator was very old and LOUD. If the unit was as advertised and clean, it 'Would have been Great'!
Very nice property in a quiet and friendly neighborhood with just very short walk to great private beach. Owner was extremely nice and helpful. Did not have an outdoor grill but we got buy.
Ride their bikes to the beach. If you like to fish they have fishing poles and tackle for you to use. All the amenities of home. Downtown Vero Beach has everything to offer such as restaurants, coffee shops and shopping. Will be back again! Thanks Liz for hosting us! John
The property is exactly as listed. The home is truly a home away from home. The owner understates the uniqueness of the property as to location and offerings, such as fishing poles and bikes. The owner is very quick to respond and is willing to correct any issues mine was very mynute but nonetheless responded quickly. I would stay here every time I come done if possible..

About the host
Hosted by Liz Farag
We are a partnership of three, two sisters and one niece.
Why they chose this property
The Hawley Tree House is a family home. Many happy times were spent here with our late parents who moved to the Treasure Coast in the eighties and had the home built to their specifications.There was a lot of love invested in it and a treasure trove of memories were made here.
What makes this property unique
The house is just two blocks from a private beach in a friendly, quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The updates we have done, such as new vinyl plank flooring throughout and new oven and stove top, new TV, new beds, new toilets and fresh paint throughout, make staying in the home carefree.
