Cozy Beach Cottage

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.

Adorable beach bungalow

This was a very cute and cozy property that was exactly as described in the listing. It is in a quiet neighborhood and is a quick drive to groceries, a pharmacy, and the beach. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again, if I come back to the area. The property owner communicated all pertinent info before check in time. The property was clean and had all of the essentials.

Perfection

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.

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!

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.

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!

Beach Get-a-Way.

Enjoyed staying at this property. The owner was very nice and easy to reach. We enjoyed walking the beach, just a short distance away and watching the sunrise. After time at the beach, we shopped thrift and antique stores, which are abundant in the area. We found other activities to do over on the main drag (Highway 60) about 10 or so miles away. Took the time to catch a late afternoon movie at the theatre with dining nearby such as Olive Garden and Outback Steak. I would also suggest visiting the Botanical Gardens and giving The Lemon Tree restaurant a try. (mom & pop place) But get there early for breakfast. And don’t forget to check out the popular Riverside Cafe, waterfront dining with a live band. Overall, Vero Beach is a great place to visit.

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!
