Peaceful, comfortable, clean, very well stocked property. Definitely would recommend! Host was polite and attentive. The property is accurately represented in the listing-- but even better in person. The pool area is so serene. We enjoyed watching the jumping fish, birds, squirrels, and rabbits.
Home was great had everything we needed pool was great the canal was great we saw Turtles alligators manatee all sorts of birds definitely recommend staying there
We love the Jumping Fish House. This was our 4th visit there, and the location, house, and water views are the best. We love the Sebastian and Vero areas, so this is always our favorite spot. Love the wild life spottings too!
Enjoy the house very much, clean and just like the pictures in the description. Appreciated all the amenities, everything is there that you need, appreciated the reviews of the restaurants in the area. My favorite part is the outside sitting area, beautiful backyard.
This was our second time at Jumpin Fish House! It is our favorite place to stay in Sebastian. Clean, comfortable, close to family and beaches. We love the birds, fish, and other nature right outside the door!!
We had a wonderful time. The house was extremely clean and the pool was amazing. Conveniently located. Communication was spot on. We would definitely stay there again!
We enjoyed staying at this clean and beautiful home. The backyard is gorgeous and serene and we saw many birds, jumping fish!........and an alligator who stayed peacefully in the water. Beautiful comfortable getaway!
Lovely home on the water with wonderful wildlife views.
This had been our 3rd vacation at this home in Sebastian. We love the area , the state park, and the proximity to the ocean. The pool area and the canal view is the best part of this home.
We had the best week in Sebastian Florida. The house was better than we could have imagined. Our kids practically lived in the pool and it was so relaxing to be able to see the river behind. The house was clean and had everything we needed.
Was visiting for a wedding and was so thankful to have the pool and be close to all my FL family. Also loved all the different seating areas inside and out. Had everything we needed and was exciting to see the alligator every night. Highly recommend if you have a need to be in Sebastian.
Wonderful stay, host was friendly and prompt communication. House was clean and had everything we needed. Absolutely loved the meandering gator and jumping fish. The variety of song birds were a plus too!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Jumpin Fish house. The weather was gorgeous and the back patio was the best setting with a beautiful pool and the nature. We watched the fish jump, the squirrels run and majestic birds fly by on daily basis. The home was comfortable and cozy. The bathrooms well stocked with towels and the water in the showers was hot with good pressure. The mattress in the master was super comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make good meals at home. We enjoyed making our breakfast and snacks and have them by the pool. We hope to be back one day.
We were visiting the area for a soccer tournament and the location was perfect! It was nice to have a home (instead of hotel room) to relax in when the girls were not playing! Home was very clean and as described. Thanks!
We saw a lot of Jumpin Fish and alligators. It’s a great location. The pool was nice and was filtering better after we cleaned out the skimmer. Over all it was nice for the weekend.
What a great location to visit with lifelong friends. It was everything we were looking for. The property was quiet and the scenery was beautiful and relaxing yet close enough to all the beaches, food, and activities. We did not want to leave. Thank you for sharing your gem of a home with us.
The Jumpin Fish house is located in a peaceful setting with beautiful trees, abundant birds, and jumping fish. It is convenient to shopping and beaches. We found the pool very relaxing. The split floor plan provided privacy for our adult daughter. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return next summer!!
If you enjoy listening to the birds sing and watching the fish jump out of the water, give this cute house a try. The pool is a relaxing place to watch birds come and go. In a quiet and well kept community. Very relaxing!
Try Hen House Eatery for breakfast.
This is our 3rd stay at Jumpin Fish House and it never disappoints. Love all the updates and convienience of having everything we needed. The peace and tranquility of sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee, listening to the birds and the fish jump, and watching our friendly gator swimming made for a great start to the day. Thanks for making this yet another great vacation.
December 29, 2025 - January 1, 2026The Jumping Fish home was ideal and true to its name. We saw jumping fish every day. The home was beautiful inside and out, well decorated and well maintained. We felt completely at home. Ashley went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. From family games, outdoor grill, fishing poles, beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, floats, towels), binoculars, night lights, power strips, fully equipped kitchen, a basket of local activity brochures, local restaurant information and much more. We totally enjoyed our stay. Thank You and Happy New YearJames and JaniceDavid and Sheila
Our second stay at Jumpin Fish House and it never disappoints! The owners have thought about everything to make our visit perfect. Quiet neighborhood but very easy to find and get to. Close enough to everything but far enough away to relax. Perfect patio area for sitting every morning with coffee and listening to nature and the jumping fish are an entertainment of their own. If we could give it more than 5 stars we would. Absolutely loved our stay and hope to repeat next year!
The home was beautiful and very peaceful sitting out on the porch watching the fish jump. Lovely house with plenty of room for the 5 of us. Comfortable place to gather with family and friends and lots of amenities. The only two things I would change would be that the beds were really hard and under the beds were dusty. Some small issues here and there but mostly natural wear and tear. All round a great place to stay.
