We spent spring break at this house with our two teenagers and my parents-in-law. Great layout for our group, plenty of spaces to retreat to and was spacious enough to be together on a rainy day. The bonus rec space was cool and my daughter hung out there every night. Everything felt fresh and clean (I love the beach but don’t like the gross feeling of other people’s musty beach homes - didn’t have even a hint of that). If you are open to not being directly on the beach, this is a great option - truly just a few mins walk to the end of the block and across the street and you’re there! Beach was great, big and not packed. I was worried that being closer toward the canal where cruise ships dock, we’d have crowds, but wasn’t the case. The house had 6 lightweight beach chairs, 2 umbrellas and 2 boogie boards, couldn’t have asked for more. Backyard table was shaded, perfect for dining al fresco especially if shade/shelter needed. From backyard, we saw two launches we didn’t realize were scheduled on our first night, so exciting for all! Close to Kennedy Space Center, and we did a guided night kayak on nearby Merritt Island (Day Away tours, I recommend). Saw lots of bioluminescent comb jellies and a dolphin swam by our kayak! The only reason I gave the location 4 stars instead of 5 is there are some sort of seedy apartments nearby. Big fenced in yard. When my kids were little I cared more about having a pool or beachfront location, easier w/naptimes. Would stay here again!
