CHARMING VINTAGE-RETRO FLORIDA COTTAGE...CAREFREE 'BEACH BLANKET BUNGALOW'

WE TAKE OUR RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY TO PROVIDE A SANITARY REFUGE FOR YOU.





ONLY 5 MINUTES TO BEACH!

If you are looking for a standardized, franchised, typical vacation setting, this is not for you. If you are looking for a gated community with chemically treated barren yards devoid of trees, this is not for you. But if you would like to rediscover the best of Old-Florida living, our vacation bungalow is just the kind of place you are looking for!

Our non-smoking home features two comfortable bedrooms with separate living and dining areas. Casual and colorful furnishings lend a peaceful air to this quiet getaway. The charming nostalgic kitchen boasts the original retro-style cabinetry and vintage Formica countertops, still in fine condition. We have also updated this fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances for the best of old and new. The dining area is connected by sliding glass doors to a covered patio area where you can relax and enjoy the comfortable, natural Florida setting. ***updated patio furniture Summer 2021!***
There's a Weber gas grill for your use. A separate utility room of the patio includes a washer and dryer.

The primary bedroom has a king bed, period Broyhill Brasilia furniture suite, HUGE closet, HDTV and ceiling fan. The guest room has two Heywood-Wakefield twin beds, dresser, closet, and ceiling fan.

We provide a couple of beach chairs and beach towels for your carefree vacation.

With the Indian River, Intracoastal Waterway, and Atlantic Ocean only minutes away, you will never run out of things to do here. But if you should tire of the peace and quiet, the attractions of Orlando are just an hour and a half away. Or tour the facilities of NASA's Cape Canaveral, an hour to the north. If you’re lucky enough to be here at the time of a space launch, watch the northeastern skies at launch time for a special treat.

Need more room than this bungalow offers? Only a few miles away are our Sebastian Riverfront Estate with pool, boat dock, and guest house; and our nearby riverside Florida cottage. For an unforgettable time at your own 'Indian River Resort,' pool resources with your family or friends to rent several of our vacation homes!

If you’re looking for luxury accommodations, prepackaged predictability, or a gated resort that could be anywhere in the world - keep looking. But if you are like us and love the Florida that has enchanted out-of-town visitors for decades, spend a little time here. You will be glad you did.

*Please note that we recommend traveler's insurance in case you have to cancel or postpone your trip for any reason.

Hidden Retro Gem
Definitely a retro retreat! The house has been decorated with carefully chosen retro furniture, pictures and more. Took me back to the days of growing up in the 60’s and 70’s. A relaxing place that is well taken care of and located in a perfect spot where it’s easy to get to the beach and Sebastian Inlet which we loved. Owners are very attentive to details and safety.

Comfortable and well appointed
We came from cold WI to get a few days of warmth and sunshine. The weather cooperated and our stay was great! The bungalow was perfect for the 2 of us. We LOVE pelicans and appreciated all of the pelican reminers throughout the house. Glenn met us as soon as we arrived and was very thorough explaining everything. We hope to come back again next year and stay longer!

Beach and baseball
Check was very easy! Upon early arrival he even let us check in early. Property was very clean. House was built in the 50's. Had everything you will need, including a weber grill:) It is convienantly located between Sebastian and Vero Beach. And only a couple minute drive to the beach. Will definitely stay there again.

Spring getaway
I love this retro house. It has great karma. We spend most of our time out playing and then enjoy the porch and the well equipped kitchen and dinners at home. We even had a party for 8 of our friends! Great place.

an excellent retro bungalow in a good location
We very much enjoyed the style of the bungalow and had a lot of fun looking at the decorations, reading through the books, and just enjoying the property. The house was an excellent jumping-off place for exploring the area. There are MANY things to do here if you are interested in the out-of-doors (which we are!).

Great Launching Point For Enjoying The Area
Glenn's property had a great old Florida feel with all the modern amenities! He made check in/out a breeze and was well stocked with all the odds and ends that we needed on our trip. The location is great because you're only a couple minutes from the beaches and Publix/Walgreens for whatever else you may need.
