Great Labor Day family getaway

The property was lovely! Exactly what we needed for our long weekend away boating with our kids. The dock is so nice to sit and relax and well equipped with slippage for boats. The owner was very nice and helpful with making sure we were set up. Even helped us get our trailer parked. We were very appreciative and would love to go back! Thank you Tom and Pam:)

Roselind Cottage

The location of the property is excellent for anyone who loves to fish. The dockage was so convenient after launching the boat at nearby boat ramp. The cottage had everything you need for a comfortable stay. We did have a few hiccups during our stay, but they were resolved by the management. We will definitely be coming back next November.

Great experience

This house was just perfect. Very nicely decorated & furnished. Has all the kitchen items you would ever need + more. Great mornings sitting on the back deck overlooking the water. Enjoy fishing from the very impressive dock. No need to bring any outdoor seating there is plenty of options there. Only negative would be the bad water smell from the inside running water.

Hi Donna! Thank you for staying with us; we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The mornings on the deck are a must. We thought you'd like to know that we've redone the water system to resolve any sulfur smell common in this area. We look forward to having you back again.

Bug heaven

Our first night on the property something kept banging on the bedroom sliding glass door we got no sleep. The bugs outside will carry you away I got ate up needs to have a screen Lanai. Ants were super bad on the kitchen counter. There was one roll of toilet paper for four people for 4 days, I had to buy more. Was not very happy with our stay.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Aug 2022
Cherie, we regret your experience was less than you hoped, July and August in Florida certainly require bug repellent which is provided on all of our decks. In addition, each of our cottages is serviced professionally by a local pest control company. Did you reach out regarding your concerns during your stay? I don't see any messages or communication, and if we'd known of your troubles or needed additional supplies, we would have been there at a moment's notice. We are just steps away from the Roseland Cottage. Again, we regret your time at our riverfront, old Florida fishing cottage wasn't as delightful for you as a large majority of our guests as evidenced by the multiple 5-star reviews.

The Roseland Cottage was perfect!

The house is adorable with beautiful river views, the grounds are well taken care of and the new boat dock is the best with a covered picnic table area and Adirondack chairs at the end of the pier for relaxing and fishing. We keep our boat at the dock for the few days we were there and it was great when we wanted to go out fishing for the day. We had no rain but it was hot (90's) and windy 15 - 20mph but we went out on the Sebastian river the first day and only got catfish but the second day we made it out to the Indian River on the east side and got red fish, sheep-head, jacks and a bonnet head shark. The master bedroom is the room with the view a king size bed and sliding doors looking onto the river, great place to relax with coffee. We only live an hour and a half away so we will be back when it gets a bit cooler.

Peaceful Vacation

The cottage was the perfect place to recharge our batteries. We enjoyed sitting outside on the decks and on the dock watching the fish jump, the porpoise and a manatee swim by along with various birds such as herons and ospreys. We even watched a Space-X rocket launch! It was also a great central location to explore the area. We took several trips over to the beach and also visited Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum. The house had everything we needed in a beautiful, lush landscape. The views from the bedroom and living room were awesome too. The sliding glass doors need a little work as one was sticking and wouldn't slide open all the way, but not a big deal. The only other annoyance for which the owners had no control over was work being done on the railroad bridge nearby. It wasn't constant and we were out quite a bit during the day. Life does carry on in the area we vacation in regardless and that sometimes means roadwork and construction. We'd love to come back and stay here sometime in the future and I think we've sold the place to our cousin who visited and a few other friends and I'm sure they will be making reservations soon

Hi Deborah! Thank you for the lovely review! I don't know how I missed it, but I suppose it's better late than never. We are so grateful you enjoyed your stay and that you were understanding of the railway work being done. We ourselves have no idea when or if they will be doing the work. We sure thank you for sharing with your friends and helping get the word out about our little piece of paradise on the river.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Hill

Host profile image
I enjoy the "old" Florida lifestyle and being close to the water so much so I wanted to make it available to others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

I love the old Florida feel of this property, so quiet and peaceful, the fishing is great too! I want to preserve these areas as they are some of the last Florida has to offer. You will not find a more perfect representation of what Florida means to so many of its natives.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique because it is very secluded, you wouldn't know that you are minutes away from everything Sebastian has to offer.
