We have stayed at this property 4 times now. It is a great location and perfect for families that enjoy being close to the beach and water.However, our stay this time had many issues from water, to broken items, to lack of basic items and lack of upkeep over the years. Host was attentive and tried to be as accommodating as possible.We always stayed a week… this time it was for 9 days. We eventually worked through all the issues and enjoyed what was left of our stay. Would come back again, and would preplan to bring more everyday essentials with us. As a host myself of a VRBO my standards are set very high.I am certain to many it would be just fine. I just recommend that you plan for any extras to take with you as there is ONLY the BARE minimum in the property. (Linens especially)I would come back again as I love the area and the location.It’s a good value for what it is. Because we had some major water issues is the only reason we gave it a 3 /4 star experience this trip.In past trips we rated it a 5 star.

Had a great time on our vacation. The house and property met all of our needs. We loved fishing from the dock and we were happy with the location.

The home was clean and as described. Its on a busy highway and near a small airport. The pier is across the highway. The backyard is large, but not fenced in for pets as the side gate was collapsed and on the ground. About 2 hours prior to our arrival, the owner sent check in info which included instructions NOT to flush toilet paper and to put it in the garbage. This was not sanitary in our opinion. After discussing with the owner, we were permitted to flush toilet paper as long as it was septic approved and in reasonable amounts. I do wish we had known this prior to booking this property. If the next guest doesn't discuss their concerns, they could end up not flushing toilet paper for their entire stay.

Grant-Valkaria, FL · Waterfront 3BR · Private Dock & Kayaks · 5.4 mi by boat to the Sebastian Inlet sandbar · Dog-Friendly Wake up to the sun coming up over the Indian River Lagoon from a private dock that is yours for the whole stay. Sunrise on the River is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home of about 1,800 sq ft in Grant-Valkaria, halfway between Melbourne and Vero Beach on Florida's Space Coast. It sleeps 8 across 5 beds, and the kitchen and living room look straight out at the water. ON THE WATER A private dock with roughly 50 feet of frontage and its own mooring. It comfortably takes a 30' boat, and larger boats are often fine — just ask us first (our own 26-footer ties up with no trouble; confirm your length and draft with us before arrival). Kayaks, paddleboards, paddles and life vests are included. It is 5.4 miles by water to the Sebastian Inlet sandbar and out to the Atlantic. Christenson's Landing public boat ramp is 2.3 miles away and a second public ramp is under 2 miles, with driveway parking for your boat trailer. The dock has rod holders and a bench. Dolphins and manatees pass by most mornings. OUTSIDE Gazebo, wood-burning fire pit, charcoal grill, Adirondack chairs, hammocks and a wide open waterfront lawn. Fishing gear is not provided — bring your own rods and tackle. Unobstructed northern view across the lagoon — SpaceX and Kennedy Space Center launches are visible from the dock. INSIDE 1,800 sq ft, open plan with panoramic water views. Full kitchen equipped for real cooking, 5 mini-split A/C units (individual climate control room by room — no central air) plus 6 ceiling fans, fiber WiFi, full-size washer and dryer, Smart TV in every bedroom, streaming included.

The owners may occasionally come by, always with advance notice, to use that unit or their boat. It has its own entrance and parking, and your stay is never disturbed.
