"This house was great! Just as described. Interior is spectacular. My group had boats and we were able to dock them at the dock throughout the weekend. The owner of the house was very responsive when we reached out to ask if we could dock our boats at the house. The dock was perfect, had a lot of space, and we even fished a couple of times and caught some fish. Owners are super responsive. The house was great. And there is a a lot of space to park cars and trailers for your stay. I will 100% book this stay again."

"We had a lovely stay. The host was responsive and very accommodating, and the property itself was beautiful, private, and peaceful. We especially loved having access to the private dock, and the open floor plan made the space feel comfortable and inviting. The location was also great. Overall, a lovely weekend stay."

"Beautiful home near the river. This home had everything you need for a comfortable stay. While the home itself is old and parts of that show, it’s been renovated nicely in the parts that matter. We loved the panoramic view of the river and being able to walk out on the dock"

"We enjoyed our Thanksgiving at this Property. The host was very responsive whenever I needed her. The property was quiet, clean, and had exactly what we were looking for. A private dock for fishing, we caught a total of 32 fish mostly catfish some bass and two stingrays :). The bonfire in the back was a great way to end our evening’s. We will definitely revisit this property. Thank you for hosting us."

"Went up to rent a pontoon boat and fish with the kids and everyone had a blast. The dock was great for fishing and catching was easy. Great view with tons of dolphin swimming by. kids loved the back yard. It's huge. the pictures don't do it justice. Capt hirams right down the street and so is publix. definitely be staying there again when we go back to micco."

We spent most of our time on the dock fishing and caught quite a few fish. We saw lots of dolphins. The neighbors on either side are very nice as well (such a pleasure talking with Steve).. We would highly recommend staying here!"

"We came to visit family in a nearby neighborhood, and there are NO places to stay here in Grant-Valkaria. Sunrise was the PERFECT location. We honestly couldn't have asked for better. We loved having the unobstructed view of the river across the street, we watched dolphins play one afternoon while sitting in the living room! There are endless, fun hang out spaces on the property, and the layout is so spacious and family friendly. We absolutely loved the rental."

"Marianas home was the most beautiful Airbnb ive ever stayed in. She was an amazing host and quick to respond to all of our questions. The pictures don't do this home justice. It was honestly so much more beautiful in person. The layout is perfect and was more spacious than we thought it would be. The attention to detail added to beauty of the home. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen well stocked. We spent hours on the dock fishing and watching the dolphins swim by. This was such a relaxing and much needed trip for our family. We loved the home so much we didn't want to leave!!! Can't wait to go back!!!"

It’s a great option for the boat and having water time! It gots our lifestyle and always enjoy the convenience of being near the tourist area but, not all the expensive costs to go along with it! We will certainly be back again! It’s worth it!"

So many cozy spaces to comnect and relax, we brought our boat and fishing gear, cooked great meals and got to bring the pups along so we didn't have to stress about their care - checked all the boxes!! You'll want to wake early to catch the sunrises. You'll be glad you did! Host was very informative and quickly responded to our questions. … The dock is well lit and in good condition. This was a very peaceful and sweet spot! Smiles and good times were abundant!"
