BIG FALL SALE OCT.-DEC.: 7+ nights 15% OFF; 28+ 20% OFF. BEST TIME OF THE YEAR!

Tropic Sun is a Key West style, totally renovated (fall 2018) Florida beach house located in dx, a long established, architecturally diverse community of stylish homes on Orchid Island bordering the Atlantic ocean. Summerplace is located roughly 8 miles north of Vero Beach and 8 miles south of Sebastian.
Orchid Island is a coastal isthmus bordered on the west by the Indian River and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Route AIA splits the Island longitudinally (north and south), providing a convenient, scenic route to Vero Beach to the south and Melbourne to the north.
Tropic Sun sits amid mature tropical foliage on a seashell paved road near route A1A, a mere two minute walk to Summerplace’s third of a mile long private ocean beach. The house features front and rear screened porches with ceiling fans and skylights (front porch only). The fenced backyard features a new, free form swimming pool and elegant concrete paver pathways.
The house has three formal bedrooms, furnished with king, queen and twin beds respectively, and a nautically themed den that includes a sofa that converts to a comfortable queen bed. Up to eight overnight guests can be accommodated, although the large bedroom with the twin beds and a balcony is on the second floor and is only accessible by a spiral staircase.
The house boasts three full bathrooms, two on the first floor and one on the second. The first floor, master bathroom is accessible from the hallway separating the two first floor bedrooms and, by sliding door, directly from the guest bedroom containing the queen bed. That bathroom has a new, enclosed tub shower and granite vanity top. The other first floor bathroom, originally a powder room near the dining area, now has a granite vanity top and a new, large, fully tiled stall shower with sliding glass door. The second floor bathroom has a molded fiberglass shower (with a seat) and a Corian vanity with double sinks. There is an outside shower as well, in the backyard, for getting the sand off after beach visits.
The house now features an open plan in which kitchen, living and dining areas share one large central space. The living area and all of the bedrooms and den are equipped with tasteful, remote controlled ceiling fans.
The kitchen, which is visible from both the living and dining areas, affords ample storage and work space, glass faced wall cabinets, stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, and granite counter tops. It now features an L shaped breakfast bar, serviced by pendent lights, and can accommodate four diners. The kitchen features a gas range, with warming drawer, and an elegant, stainless steel island hood, with duplicate fan controls on opposite sides.
The living area is directly to the left of the main entry door. It is furnished with a three piece wicker seating group that faces a long sideboard that doubles as the stand for a large, flat screen, "smart" TV. Wall mounted TVs are also to be found in the master bedroom and the first floor den. The house provides free cable TV entertainment and WiFi.
The living area affords direct access to the backyard swimming pool (to the north of house) through a set of new French doors, which face the living area immediately to the left of the kitchen. The kidney shaped pool features a large, free form concrete deck that seamlessly flows into the floor of the back porch. The steps entering the pool are fitted with a handrail for safety. The pool is illuminated both internally and from floodlights mounted above the north wall of the house. It is equipped with an legally required alarm that senses when a person enters the pool.
The windowed dining area, which expresses an oriental theme and is situated at the east end of the kitchen, accommodates an elegant, oval, glass topped table surrounded by six wicker dinning chairs. It is the only area of the house lit by a central chandelier as well as recessed ceiling fixtures identical those illuminating the living area and kitchen. All of the this lighting is LED and can be dimmed.
The house has an attached, one car garage in which guests can use an electric clothes washer and gas fired dryer. There are two driveways, one leading to the garage and the second to a backyard gate at the west end of the building. Each driveway can accommodate two cars end to end.
The vast majority of furniture and virtually all of the fixtures and hardware in the house are new. The walls are decorated, in the main, by original oil paintings of nautical and topical scenes. The overall color scheme is intended to complement the light and airy character of the renovation. The new flooring throughout is virtually indestructible, waterproof vinyl planking reminiscent of old barn siding or a weathered boardwalk.
The back porch of the house currently shelters a new, tropical wood dining table and six matching wooden chairs. There are four folding chaise lounges, for use around the pool, and a number of collapsible beach chairs for guest use. A Weber Kettle charcoal grill is also provided.

Beautiful house close to beach
The house was very nice and beach access was down the street. The beach access does have a lot of steps but there are a lot of other access just a short drive away. We did a lot we got to see dolphins and even a whale. Enjoyed the botanical gardens that have a good play area for kids.

College Roommates Reunion
Its been over 20 years since we've all been together. We made so many memories at this house. Very short walks to the beach and many nights out by the pool made this the perfect stay. The property manager quickly replied wherever we had a question. I'd recommend this house for your stay.

Stayed month of February 2024
Overall, we enjoyed staying at this property. The inside of the house was spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms and kitchen were clean and functional upon arrival. The beach was very close and easy to walk to. The exterior of the house and the screen-ed in areas need maintenance and updated furniture. The pool was nice but the furniture was old and dirty. The landscaping is nice but overgrown. We didn't have any problems with the house just noticed this deferred maintenance.

Wonderful place!
This was our first time using VRBO so we were a little skeptical at first, but soon realized how easy this is! Richard (owner) and property manager just walked us through the process. They made sure that we had beach chairs, beach towels, and beach carts to help make our stay more convenient. The house is cozy and relaxing. The outside of the house is so plush with natural sourroundings. The beach is literally about a 2 minute walk! I enjoyed my daily morning walks! All the people we encountered on the beach and in the neighborhood were all so pleasant. And, after a day at the beach, it was so nice to come back and sit out next to the pool or take a dip! The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans for cooking. The Roku TV's were nice so we had plenty of viewing choices. We definitely would do this all over again!! Thank you, Richard!!

It has issues but I'd stay again
There is a bad water leak from the upstairs with water pouring into the sunroom. Only one of the three TVs actually turn on. There are a LOT of ants in the cabinets and kitchen. The bathroom in the living room area has a toilet that runs constant and the chain keeps coming off in the tank. The lamp upstairs is missing a knob and can't be turned on. . .now, all things said, I would still come back and stay here again. Perhaps the owner wasn't aware of all of these issues, but I feel confident they will get resolved.

Family trip to visit our daughter at her college internship
SKIP THIS ONE! This was our second visit to this house and it was great the first time. When we arrived this time living room furniture was dirty and stained, all floors unswept, there were ants in the kitchen, pool was dirty, panel in screened porch ceiling was missing, two of three televisions did not work, upstairs bedroom was hot, furniture was dirty, and, worst of all, sheets on two downstairs beds were stained and had both hairs on, and holes in them. We could not change houses so we cleaned ourselves and replaced the sheets. We got in contact with property manager. He cleaned the pool and replaced the two TVs but did not program them so that we could use them. We messaged the owner but when he got back to us he did not offer any help or extra cleaning at all! We will NEVER rent this house again!

Great Beach House in Wabasso
Overall, we had a great stay at the property. The house was clean and had ample beach supplies (beach chairs, boogie boards, beach buggie, beach tent). The house is also great for families as it has three bedrooms and a fourth room with a pull out couch. We liked getting to spread the kids across the house. The beach is awesome and right across A1A if you want to walk to a private beach or the Wabasso beach access or Golden Sands Beach within a mile are life-guarded beaches with bathrooms. We spent most of our time at Golden Sands Beach and it was great. We had a hard time finding the outdoor shower, but eventually found it in the shed right next to the garage. Also, wifi password is on a card by the TV in the main room. The house did have a few issues related to routine maintenance that could be improved. The shower/tub combo would not drain, leaving standing water. While it was a holiday weekend, it took half of the week until that was addressed, which made that bath unusable. The ice maker did not dispense ice, the fan upstairs was missing a blade and could not be used, the upstairs AC unit is very loud, and there were some issues with flying ants upstairs.

We loved the house and location. Just across the street from a very nice and quiet beach. The house is newly renovated with all the modern conveniences and nicely decorated. The house has a lot of room, as well. Lots of different rooms to spread out in and relax. The pool was great, very private and secluded. Perfect for a romantic getaway. The house was very clean and Richard was very kind and checked in on us to make sure things were Ok. Less than half a mile from Wabasso Beach Park and Disney Vero Beach Resort. Great vacation place overall and we will be back for sure!

Nice house needs better managing
Constructive criticism. Property was not ready for check in. They let us know they would be late , but it took about 2 + hours . Would have been better to just tell us check in was at later time .and extend the check out hour. Them There was no toilet paper in any bathroom, had to write to property owner and they gave a me a lock number to get some from their deposit . We managed , but I have stayed at more cost efficient places with much better check in and with complete resources upon arrival. House was good , just needs a better managing of expectations. And to Have toilet paper.

Great house; quiet neighborhood
We could not have been happier with our stay at this Vero home. We loved the kitchen and the layout of the house is very nice. We enjoyed the pool and the private beach is just a short walk away. There was a lot of seaweed mid August at the private beach but if you make a left out of the driveway and head a few miles down the road, you’ll see signs for Sebastian Inlet State Park and that water was perfection. It’s $8 a car or $2 a person and worth every penny. We saw manatees and stingrays and all kinds of fish from the giant fishing pier. Restaurants were tricky (many closed) but we found some cool spots along the Indian River; one being Squid Lips; that had good food and gorgeous water views. If you enjoy a morning walk, Beach Bites is to your right on foot out of the driveway and they have coffee, delicious smoothies and serve quick meals. We liked walking back on the beach with our morning treats. Disney Vero is right down the road and we had breakfast there one morning and were greeted by a friendly armadillo! We highly recommend this property for your Vero stay. The only thing we found missing was a pizza cutter and that’s no biggie. Thank you Richard for your prompt responses to our questions and for sharing your beautiful home!
