Merritt Island Oasis: 5 Mi to Satellite Beach!

Beautiful property

The pictures don’t do this property justice. It’s beautiful, serene, and private. If you like to be close to things but off the beaten path, this property is for you! The house is close to the road, but very quiet- you won’t hear any road noise. The walk to the dock is not a long one and there is a beautiful pond with large gazebos complete with hammocks and sitting areas. While at the dock we were able to catch trout, cat fish, king fish and even a flounder! You can see dolphins, multiple different kinds of birds, and manatees. A manatee actually swam right next to the dock under our swinging feet! Lou was great and let us gather eggs from the 20 plus chickens on the property. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Peaceful private estate!

This is a great house for relaxing away from the crowds and tourists. Very private and quiet. The house is decorated beautifully with high end finishes and furnishings. No details left out! I would and will definitely be back. A few things I’d change to make it perfect. A optional golf cart to drive to the boat dock and other areas would be appreciated by guests. As you are not allowed to drive your vehicle to the other areas and must walk. A boat lift at the dock would be nice. We brought our boat and planned to use the dock to tie up. But, after inspecting the dock height and condition there was a risk of damaging our boat. So, we decided we’d just trailer back and forth to the ramp each day. A larger tv in the living room would be nice. The living room is very large and guests set pretty far away from the tv.

Breathtaking Oasis

Quick transaction. Heather was responsive to all inquiry. The property was immaculate. Every one in the family gave a thumbs up for the place, even our dog has a big smile on his face when he step into the property. Ample space to move around; comfortable bed. The view of the orchard and the pond is amazing. Most specially , the view of the sunset from the dock is breathtaking. 40 mins from Kennedy Space Center and about 1.5 hours to Disney World. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

Absolute Heaven

What a beautiful gift ~ a tropical paradise! The house was immaculate and one of our kids said as we walked in “I love how this place really feels like home” :) Our children played for hours in the pool, fished (caught 3 delicious red fish!), wandered through the fruit orchard enjoying the Florida wildlife, and relaxed on the hammock in the lotus pond. The lovely owner, Lou, couldn’t have been more hospitable as he gave us a guided tour of all the fruit trees and showed us around the new renovations to the site. We spent most sunrises & sunsets on the dock swing watching dolphins, manatees, and sting rays swimming around and listening to the songs of so many varieties of Florida birds. This wasn’t our first stay here at the River House and it most certainly will not be our last! Thank you so much ~ we really look forward to our next stay with you!
