Absolutely loved this house. I stayed for one week. I loved the back screened room. My cat hung out there all day and didn’t want to come in! The property is woodsy with bushes and shrubs and trees creating a more private atmosphere which is what I prefer. The location is perfect. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It’s a short walk to the beach. There are two bicycles in the garage and we took a ride on the jungle trail, which is also very close. There are other parks in the area as well. I do not like to go out to eat that often so I did a lot of cooking and baking. The oven and the microwave work fine. Martin is a great host. He was good at responding back to me with all of my questions. I would stay here again.

Everything was great, nothing I could complain about. Cute place in a great location at a reasonable price. Comfortable and well-furnished. Martin was great about communicating with us and making sure everything was going OK. Would definitely book again if we're ever in the area.

LOVED IT!
Wonderful place to stay. Fantastic location, neighborhood is quiet. Martin was very communicative and easy to get a hold of. We took advantage of the bicycles in the garage, and took a ride down the Jungle Trail. We had no issues and would absolutely stay here again. Too bad it's already booked for the time we'll be in town again next year!

We booked this property to attend a wedding at Vero Beach. The property had all the ‘little’ things that you need when away from home for the weekend. We felt completely at home. Martin was great.

Tucked away on a quiet street. Well supplied with beach chairs, umbrella, beach cruisers, and well appointed kitchen. Beds were comfortable as well. Really a home away from home! A couple of minutes to a quiet and beautiful beach. Good fishing right off the causeway - a real treat - Florida as Florida should be experienced.

Winter Escape Week
I stayed at this property the last week of January. It was good for what I needed for two adults for that length of time. It is a cottage - small but an open floor plan. The house is nicely appointed. I did not make dinners there but the kitchen appeared well stocked to do so. The location is good for walking. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beach - doable carrying a light chair and a few items. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and also offers a nice setting for walking. The popular Jungle Trail is also in close proximity where you can both walk and bike. I did not need much while there, but the host was quick to reply to any questions I had. A real bonus are the neighbors directly across the street - a friendly couple who assisted me with a few odd needs. I did not travel with a dog this stay. But I would not choose to stay here with mine. The backyard area is small, not grassy, and not completely enclosed. But the surrounding area is ideal for exercising your pet. Also missing from this property is a covered outside sitting area. If it rains, inside is your only choice. All in all, this property met my needs for a week’s stay. And I was satisfied with my time there.

Great location
This property is in a quiet, cute neighborhood, close walk to the beach. Love the little beach and convenient Beach Bites store. The house is great, bedrooms are small and the kitchen needs some TLC, but overall an awesome little house, especially with our dog! Would recommend. Martin was very helpful and responsive!

Wonderful stay in a perfect location
The house is just as pictured. It had everything we needed plus some! Had fun on the ampersand beach with the chairs and umbrellas, biked on the jungle trail, and nice to shower off in the garage shower. Loved the back porch at night for cards and cocktails, we did need a light outside but we used candles. Must have a smoothie at Beach Bites, great way to start the day! Wonderful home to have a little R&R after a long week of work. Thanks so much for sharing your home!!

Pleasant neighborhood, nice and quiet.
House was just as promised! Cute bunny lives in backyard - a plus! Only complaint was owner did not give lock code until just before (5 minutes) before we left to drive there. Other than that - oh, a page of instructions was not in the house to tell us how to leave the house upon exiting. Would be helpful

Wabasso stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Wabasso Beach. It is a great friendly neighborhood and a 10 minute walk to the beach. The house was very comfortable and the amenities were just what we needed. The tile floors were perfect for a pet friendly house. Martin, the host was very accommodating. We had some internet and tv problems when we arrived but he worked very hard to get everything up and running. We had his cell phone and he was accessible if we needed him. We had a great stay and did not want to leave!
