Photos and Description of the Merritt Island vacation bungalow rental
Beautiful 1950 sq ft villa - your home away from home

Welcome to our home! Our Pristine (1950 square feet) Floridian home awaits you for your home away from home vacation. When our family members are not using this Florida retreat we allow other special guests to take advantage of what Florida has to offer. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 2 car garage our home in Merritt Island is clean, bright and features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, tile floor throughout, with a formal living and dining area, comfortable den/office and a modern kitchen with breakfast nook. It has a spacious master suite with a queen size bed, large main bath with double sinks, garden tub & walk-in shower as well as a second bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third bedroom has two single beds. The house was just freshly painted and has all new furniture. There is a large screen TV and a DVD so that you can relax after a hard day in the sun and watch your favorite shows or a movie. It is nicely landscaped with a spacious fenced back yard and a propane BBQ. And to top it all off, there is a large community pool just steps from the house that you can use to cool off and stay fit!

All you need to do is show up with food and enjoy!

We only accept small, non-shedding pets (under 10 lbs).

Merritt Island is truly one of the most unique and diverse areas of Florida. It is never overly crowded! It avoids many of the problems that plague other parts of Florida such as the huge influx of teenagers during spring break and you can always find a beach that suits you - from deserted and quiet to moderately busy and active.

Merritt Island definitely has a slower beach town atmosphere feel to it. It has all the large box stores you can imagine, but perhaps more importantly, it has kept the small Floridian specialty shops where you can find that special and unique gift.

Besides shopping, the natural beauty and wildlife nearby will astound you. From the Wildlife Nature Reserves to the protected waters of the river it is there for you to enjoy. Whether you explore it by foot, or kayak, or canoe you are sure to find something you have never sen before.

And for the active person in all of us, swimming, surfing, or just walking along the miles of beaches that are all nearby will provide you plenty of exercise .

Lastly, and perhaps just as important, is the location of our house. When I drive to the Orlando airport it is only approx 45 min away. Our house is close to the main highway that takes you directly into Orlando so finding Disney World, or the airport is a breeze. This same highway, but going in the other direction, takes you to the beaches, the Cruise Ship Terminal and many restaurants and local shops! If you were worried about driving from our house to various other locations, this is one worry you will not have!

About Richard Rhodes

We recently purchased this home in Merritt Island. I will be retiring from the Canadian Forces next year and we intend to spend 3-4 months per year here.

Richard Rhodes purchased this bungalow in 2012
Why Richard Rhodes chose Merritt Island

Merritt Island is wonderful. It is not overly commercialized. It is not over populated and you can always find something to do. The beaches are fantastic and clean, and best of all not taken over by teenagers during the high seasons!

What makes this bungalow unique

If you want to surf, or fish, or wind surf or just relax this is probably one of the nicest areas in all of Florida. Not too hot or cold during the winter and not too many tourists.

Great Location, Beautiful House, and near everything

5 of 5
Submitted: March 29, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We booked the house via Kiijiji and VRBO. The house was exactly as mentioned with everything that you would need inside the house. Everything is exactly as laid out in the listing. The owner was available by phone and we talked about a slight problem with the internet and he immediately took care of it. Even contacted us to make sure it was working correctly.

Layout of the house is fantastic with a super master bedroom with lovely ensuite bathroom and walk in closet. Furniture is all brand new. Photos do not do it justice.

Location is fabulous and really anything you would want in a Florida vacation is with 5 to 10 minutes from home. Savannah Golf course is a 10 minute drive and would be a challenge for the low handicap golfer to the novice. Really nicely laid out course with lots of water and yes alligators. Really enjoyed the golfing experience.The neighbourhodd pool is a very short walk from the house. We had 3 people visit us and they could not believe what a lovely home it was. Absolutely superb furnishings.

Only sad part is because of family committment for next year we could not plan on coming back next March to enjoy this beautiful home and area.

We hope to enjoy this lovely home again in the future and would reccommend this home to anyone that wishes to rent it.

Thank you for sharing your home with us Rich

Wonderful Home On Merritt Island

5 of 5
Submitted: March 4, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
This home truly help make our stay in Florida a wonderful experience. The home is lovely,well maintained,nice restful colors,well equipped and easy to enjoy. The backyard was very nice and our dog enjoyed the freedom there. The neighborhood is very safe, nice to walk around and neighbors speak to you. This home is situated near Rt. 528, which in 10 mins, you can be in cape canaveral having a lovely meal,40 mins you can be on Orlando at the Bass Pro Shop. 15 mins on the pier at Cocoa Beach. Dont overlook Merritt Island, village of Cocoa, Melbourne and the antique shops in Titusville.
Rich is a tremendous person and did all he could to help us out. thank you again!

My wife and I spent two weeks here and had an unquestionably a fantastic stay.
We found the location to be the perfect balance between staying in a quiet neighborhood and being close to the beach. The owners were friendly and pleasant and made us feel at home. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed from cookware to sheets and towels to propane for the grill. The area is great for family walks and chatting with the neighbors, and it's also very close (5-7 minutes) to Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach.

Owner's Response: Thanks Frank. Yes it was our pleasure to have you both stay at our Florida home. Please come again and let your friends and family know as well.

Enjoy your cold winter because it will be beautiful here Frank! Take care of yourself and hope to see you both again soon!
