Breathtaking Oasis
Quick transaction. Heather was responsive to all inquiry. The property was immaculate. Every one in the family gave a thumbs up for the place, even our dog had a big smile on his face when he step into the property. Ample space to move around; comfortable bed. The view of the orchard and the pond is amazing. Most specially , the view of the sunset from the dock is breathtaking. 40 mins from Kennedy Space Center and about 1.5 hours to Disney World. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

just average
The 3rd bedroom is not really a bedroom, but a room with pocket doors off the living room. There was 1/3 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and that was it. Toilet seat was cracked completely through on the hallway bathroom. Master toilet doesn't really flush properly. Someone before us had a dog there and there was pet hair still around from their visit, and if you have allergies, best plan to bring your own tissues. Kitchen was clean, as were the showers. Very handy to have washer and dryer on premises. Not a great location if you want to take a morning walk since it is off a busy road. Overall I would say it is average, but suggest owners at least provide more than a roll of toilet paper, paper towels and include a tissue box for the house. Location was convenient to surrounding areas.

Cute house far from
Lovely property. Furnishings of the home were nice. Though the appliances like the dishwasher, toaster and microwave could use an upgrade. Toaster was very small that you couldn’t fit a piece of bread in it and the microwave barely fit a microwaveable bag of popcorn. The dishwasher door has to be pushed into alignment to close the door. The interior lighting was very dark in the living room and dinning room area and a few pot lights continuously flickered. There is a bbq grill but renters need to fill the propane tank which I found to be odd since if I filled it, I’d be filling it for several other guests and no instructions how to replace the propane tank or where to go for a replacement, so can’t really consider that a grill is available for use. Property manager was very responsive and helpful. This is a nice home but the little details to make this home a wonderful rental property should be considered.

Perfect Stay for our Baseball Tournament at Space Coast Stadium
The house was perfect, everything the description says and even more spacious that anticipated. It was very clean, easy to access and in great location to the events we were in town for. The outside area and common grounds were immaculacy maintained. The pond and tiki house were awesome and access to the dock on the Indian River was great. I would highly recommend this property.

Absolute Heaven
What a beautiful gift ~ a tropical paradise! The house was immaculate and one of our kids said as we walked in “I love how this place really feels like home” :) Our children played for hours in the pool, fished (caught 3 delicious red fish!), wandered through the fruit orchard enjoying the Florida wildlife, and relaxed on the hammock in the lotus pond. The lovely owner, Lou, couldn’t have been more hospitable as he gave us a guided tour of all the fruit trees and showed us around the new renovations to the site. We spent most sunrises & sunsets on the dock swing watching dolphins, manatees, and sting rays swimming around and listening to the songs of so many varieties of Florida birds. This wasn’t our first stay here at the River House and it most certainly will not be our last! Thank you so much ~ we really look forward to our next stay with you!

Fabulous Family-Friendly Home
The home was a wonderful place for our family of 4 to get away with a set of grandparents. The pictures do not do it justice. It's in beautiful, perfect condition, and there was plenty of space for everyone with well-appointed bathrooms and large bedrooms. Nice, high quality beds, linens, and towels. (Thank you for including the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner!) There is a terrific long dining room table that was ideal for having our meals together. Very nice kitchen. The pool was also the perfect size for my family and we gave it *a lot* of use! The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained. Loved the tiki huts and the dock had a gorgeous view at sunset! We were close to everything that we wanted including beaches and restaurants. Also: our contact through Evolve was wonderful - rapidly responsive and very helpful. Thank you very much!

Excellent Vacation Spot
This Oasis spot that is divide by the Indian & Banana River is incredible property! it’s your owe hideaway! The property is very relax with just hanging in the house or lounging by the pool or a small walk down to the dock to take in the evening sunset! It is close to any thing that may be needed during the stay shopping, sporting complexes and entertainment/ beaches. We had a great time on this vacation!

Just wow!
South Merritt Island is a tropical wonderland. We felt like we were in Bali while staying at this nicely-sized open concept home with a casual surfer-in-paradise vibe. Natural teak and wood finishes inside to meet beautiful grounds and nearby beaches and other attractions outside. If you prefer a nature-focused getaway to neveau-glitz, take a leap and stay here.
