ELEGANT COTTAGE LESS THAN 2 MILES TO OCEAN
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This elegant cottage sits in a quiet residential pocket of Vero Beach, east of US1, and is less than two miles from the pristine South Beach by foot or a short drive over the bridge. The home offers three bedrooms plus a queen sofa bed in the living room, along with a private sleep and bath area off the kitchen ideal for visiting parents or grandparents. Casually elegant and bright, it's designed for making family memories rather than a typical hotel-style stay.
Rooms & Bathrooms
Sleeping arrangements include three bedrooms and a queen sofa bed, with a slipcovered down cushion sofa and loveseat in the living area. Two full bathrooms are on site, one with a tub shower and the other with a shower, both stocked with linens, fluffy towels, and necessary bath accessories. Custom closets throughout help guests stay tidy and organized during longer stays.
Amenities
The cottage is fully equipped for independent living with a kitchen, oven stove, microwave, and washer, plus air conditioning, heating, and a smoke-free interior for comfort year-round. Guests also have free Wi-Fi, free parking, cable TV, an ironing board, and a patio for relaxing outdoors. The property is pet-friendly, making it a rare fit for travelers bringing their animals along.

A wide range of dining options sit within walking or short driving distance, including River Twist just 361m away, Wilke's 14 Bones BBQ, Green Marlin seafood, Spiro's Taverna Greek cuisine, Phatz, The Service Alley, and Scampi Grill. Area favorites mentioned by the owners include Tides restaurant, the Kilted Mermaid, and Curfew Vero Beach for a New American dining experience a bit farther out.

Best for
This cottage suits families and multi-generational groups thanks to its three bedrooms, queen sofa bed, and a private sleep/bath area set aside for parents or grandparents. It also appeals to pet owners seeking a smoke-free, self-catering home base, and to beach-goers who want to be under two miles from South Beach while still enjoying a quiet neighborhood setting.
Travel tips
Plan for a short walk or quick drive over the bridge to reach South Beach, less than two miles away. Nearby bus stops at 6th Ave & 16th St and US 1 & 17th St offer an alternative to driving for exploring downtown Vero Beach, though a car is useful for reaching Vero Beach Regional Airport or Melbourne Orlando International Airport. With several restaurants clustered within a kilometer, dinner plans can easily be made on foot.
