Beautiful intercoastal views.
My husband and I needed to reconnect. Mike and Cathy were awesome host. Enjoyed our stay with them from beautiful Intercostal sunrises to the lush paradise like landscaping on the property. Hope to book with them again soon.
Mike & Kathy are great people . willing to take care of anything that needed attention. View of the river was wonderful.

Rollin On The River
Upon our arrival we were surprised to find that the singlewide pictured on the HomeAway website was not to be our home away for the week. Fortunately, the upscale travel trailer that we were shown in its place was equally as nice. It was situated several yards away from the Indian River in a nicely landscaped tropical compound. A seating area with barbeque was a great place to contemplate the magic of nature from sunrise to sunset. Depending on one's internal clock you could experience sunrise while still in bed, or as I did each morning, walking my dog along the river. An added bonus was the historic 1916 House park that was adjacent to the property. It was a pleasure meeting our hosts Michael and Kathy. They were unobtrusive but available if we needed anything. It was a beautiful and wonderful week!!

Not properly maintained until I complained.
Very disappointed in the overall condition of the property. Bathroom full of bugs when I first got there which were immediately taken care of. A full day of rain brought a water leak inside the front entrance which was never taken care of. Avery weak stream of water from the shower and clumps of hair coming up from the drain which was taken care of after complaining. Also a TV reception from aa anttenae which kept scrambling the picture and in many cases losing the picture entirely. These are things that should have been handled way before I moved in.The freezer was not properly sealed and so it would build up frost and ice .

WONDERFUL
I don't know what else you could ask for----the view was spectacular, the river cabin was loaded with amenities, private and perfect for a couple. The locations was close to restaurants and entertainment. Our hosts were very accommodating. Many thanks to Mike and Kathy for sharing their beautiful piece of paradise with us.

Tropical paradise, boaters dream
Since retiring, we had been camping all over Florida for the past 7 years, looking for the one place we wanted to stay for the winter. Bingo, we found it. We spent January 2017 in this small but lovely cottage right on the Indian River Lagoon. Cathy and Mike are terrific "landlords", very welcoming and accommodating. We found the cottage immaculate, delightfully decorated, a nicely equipped kitchen, two patios (front and back), beautiful tropical landscaping and a view to die for. We spent many happy hours watching the boats cruise by on the Intercoastal Waterway. Dolphin and an occasional manatee play right off the beach. The sunrises over the water are glorious and a daily treat.
We were able to bring our fishing boat and although a slip came with the rental, we chose to leave the boat on the trailer, putting it in the water when we wanted to use it. There's a great public launch less than a mile up US 1, making it quick and easy to get on the water. There are two very good seafood restaurants directly across the highway from the cottage. Another perk is the lovely county park next door to the rental property. It has a walking trail, fishing pier, kayak/canoe launching area and a nice museum highlighting the history of the Grant community. We got our daily walking done while watching the boat activity and used the fishing pier when it was too windy for us to use the boat.
If we had to pick any downside to this property, it's that there is a lot of road noise, being that it is located right on busy US 1. We got used to it but it is a constant. That being said, the road noise was not a deal breaker for us returning. We've already booked for next winter.
Thank you Cathy and Mike for sharing your beautiful place with us... oh yea...and Snow too (the nicest cat we ever met)!
