Charming 2-bedroom house with dock, AC, & Wifi. Enjoy kayaking 2 min from beach
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
This is a two-bedroom vacation house in the Florida Ridge area of Vero Beach, offering a private, home-like setting rather than a traditional hotel layout. The property includes a private dock and kayaks, making it well suited to guests who want water access as part of their stay. It's a smoke-free, pet-friendly rental designed for travelers who prefer the space and privacy of a full house.
Rooms & Layout
The house has two cozy bedrooms each with a queen bed, plus a living room with an additional queen bed, giving it flexible sleeping space for small groups or families. A modern bathroom includes a shower and hair dryer. The kitchen comes equipped with a microwave, oven/stove, and other essentials for guests who want to cook rather than dine out every meal.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, an ironing board, a washer, and a fitness center, along with a patio for outdoor relaxing. The standout feature is the private dock with kayaks, geared toward fishing and recreational paddling, and the beach is just a two-minute drive away. Free parking is included, useful given the residential, non-urban setting.
Dining & Surroundings
A cluster of restaurants sits within easy walking or short driving distance, including Green Marlin (seafood), Spiro's Taverna (Greek), PHO 95 (Asian), Phatz, The Service Alley, and Flames Mediterranean Bar & Grill, all roughly 1-1.3 km away. Supermarkets are also within walking distance according to the property description, making self-catering convenient alongside dining out.
Location & Transit
The house sits just 108 meters from the IR Blvd & Bridgewater Medical bus stop, with a second stop (Miracle Mile Plaza) about 1.2 km away, giving guests without a car some local bus access. Vero Beach Regional Airport is the closest airport at roughly 4.8 km, while Melbourne Orlando International Airport and Witham Field are both over 50 km away for those flying in from farther afield.
Best for
This property suits small families or groups of friends who want a private, home-style stay with kayaking and dock access rather than a conventional hotel room. It's also a good fit for self-catering travelers, since the kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and walkable restaurants and supermarkets make extended stays easy. Pet owners will appreciate the pet-friendly policy paired with a patio and nearby outdoor recreation.
Travel tips
Having a car is recommended since the nearest airport (Vero Beach Regional) is about a 10-15 minute drive and the beach itself is a 2-minute drive rather than walking distance. The IR Blvd & Bridgewater Medical bus stop right outside the property offers a car-free option for shorter local trips. Guests planning to fish or kayak should bring their own gear if they want more than what's provided at the dock, and it's worth confirming check-in/lock details directly with the host in advance given past guest experiences with the door code.
What guests say
Guests consistently highlight how clean and comfortable the house feels, with one reviewer noting the layout felt just like a familiar home environment. However, a recurring concern involves check-in and lock issues, with at least one guest reporting the front door code only worked to lock (not unlock) the door, forcing use of a back/laundry entrance instead. There was also a mention of housekeeping not being fully finished at check-in, with linens still in the dryer, and difficulty reaching the owner for follow-up. Overall sentiment remains positive on comfort and cleanliness, tempered by isolated communication and access hiccups.
