We had a wonderful time staying in this house. The ocean views were beautiful from the house, the swimming pool was fantastic and my kids loved the ping-pong table.
We will definitely recommend this home to our friends and family.
Thank you for a very memorable vacation.

This property and location are even better than the photographs - absolutely beautiful. The pool and grounds are kept in top-notch condition. The wonderful balcony and sunroom let us hear the ocean from dawn to dusk. The beach itself is fantastic - soft sand, no sharp stones, no seaweed.
The 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths were more than enough for our family of five. There were plenty of comfortable, sturdy seating areas, and so much space that it was hard to keep track of each other.
I have never seen such a stack of beach towels - more than we needed. Likewise for bath towels, pillows and linens. The kitchen had a great variety of cutlery and dishes (for indoor and outdoor dining), cookware, utensils and storage containers. The pantry even had salt, pepper and spices.
The pool and ping pong tables were a nice diversion. There were many toys, games, books and videos, as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach and pool toys in the garage. It was very handy to have a garage door opener - all the conveniences of home.
Faina is a pleasure to work with. She kept in contact with us before our trip, providing additional information about the community and activities, and she followed up with us afterwards.
I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a picture perfect vacation. It was sad to leave - I hope we can go back soon!

Booked our first stay at this residence for the early part of March 2013. My immediate family of ~8 including adult children & grandchildren. Our annual Florida extended family vacation. Easily the best experience yet. The home is large and comfortable, with a well appointed kitchen to suite our cooking interests: everything needed was there. A large pantry that includes plenty of extra appliances, pots & pans, salad and presentation dishes, plus lots of space for food storage for our larger family. The owner took the time to preheat the pool to a comfy 80+ degrees, which was toasty for our northern Michigan blood to thaw out. The home was very clean, has a large laundry room off the kitchen on the main floor. The screened in Florida room overlooks the large pool and picks up the morning sun for a warm place to start your day. The pool is well kept and very clean. Did I mention warm? The area is high end, community securely gated, and truly beach front property. Absolutely no crowds here. Wide expansive beach with plenty of area of walk to the horizon in both directions. The second floor bedrooms are huge and open to a LARGE 2'nd story deck on top of the Florida room overlooking the pool and the Atlantic ocean. Huge doors slide open for evening waves to lull and keep you asleep. The whole area felt very secure. Large family room with flat screen, movies, games, plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys for the kids. The owner was easy to work with, professional, and stayed in frequent contact to insure our interests were met. Owner has clear instructions for arrival and departure and provides a lot of information on surrounding activities which when we followed saved time doing research. The Vero Beach community is charming, safe, with great restaurants and shopping galore. Only a few hours from the big Florida attractions, which kept us Grandparents grounded in the home and the kids free to launch off on their own with their families for the day. A nice strategy. Once again, easily the best experience we've had for renting in Florida over many years including other VRBO locations. Highly recommended.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway
