Vacation rentals with lake access in Merritt Island

I stayed here with my sister, parents, and their dog. This is a great house and one of the few properties that turned out to be better than the photos. The view is great and it was very nice to be able to watch the dolphins swimming by from the dock. We will definitely be back the next time we're visiting family in Melbourne!

We had a lovely stay for family vacation! Would definitely book again! Very spacious and clean.

The house had all the amenities you could wish for. Very clean and you can tell there was a lot of thought put into this Airbnb. The backyard set up was phenomenal and the views were amazing. Everyone in our group was satisfied including the kids. We went fishing kayaking boating took a trip to dinner by boat and even took a short trip to the sandbar. Plenty of seating throughout the house and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely consider coming back to this Airbnb.

Samantha was an excellent host. The property was well-maintained, and the surroundings were beautiful. The partially fenced-in backyard was perfect for our big dog. It was a great spot for fishing and crabbing. The dolphins at the end of the dock each day were a great bonus. It was a wonderful place for a quiet family getaway.

Perfect for our little get away. All the family was able to hang out together and enjoy all the amenities.

This place is amazing! We had the best time on our family spring break! Morning coffees on the deck while watching dolphins, manatee, sting ray and ducks were a family favorite. We kayaked almost everyday and were treated to dolphin sightings and the most picture perfect sunsets. We were lucky enough to see FOUR space launches! You are a quick walk to the beach and many restaurants and shops. Thank you, Heather, for a fantastic experience and the perfect family getaway!

I am very familiar with the area around Charles’s place as we usually stay with an elderly aunt one block over. I’ve always wondered what the canals were like and I’m so glad we stayed at Charles’s place to enjoy the wildlife and scenery — alligator, manatees galore, huge crane, etc. The house was newly updated and immaculate. Wish we could have stayed longer but we will be back next year. I don’t usually have a preference to stay in a place more than once but this home was just perfect.

We were in the area for a work trip. Joshua's place was exactly as advertised. We really enjoyed the pool table in the garage after working some long days. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

This rental highly exceeded our expectations. The location was ideal to watch the rocket launch directly across the water from our peaceful balcony. The hosts were very sweet and helpful and having a private entrance was easy to navigate .Loved being able to bring our pup and having a quiet neighborhood for long walks. Space was pristine and we'll stocked with everything needed for enjoying the comforts of being home. We enjoyed dining out in the area but next time we may pack more groceries and cook ourselves in the beautiful kitchen. The large bathroom was spotless and well supplied and all linens were high quality. We look forward to visiting this property again often.

Loved the location which is walkable to beach, stores, and restaurants. Condo was as described and located on a peaceful pond. Elaine was very responsive to messages.

The stay was pleasant. It met our needs. Margaret was very pleasant, almost like i have known her for a long time. Her place was quaint...

This place is unbelievable in a very good way. The instructions to get in were in such great detail that they even included photos of what you would see as you walk to the condo. Once we got into the condo, we could not get the veranda door to unlock, I sent an email and within 10 minutes I received a phone call from a live person to ask if they could send someone. I have never had that great of service before. I am so impressed. I would like to suggest to the owners, that the shower floors could use a good scrubbing and the living room chairs a good cleaning. But this place is such a great find, I didn't really care much. The view from the veranda is perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. I highly recommend the Dolphine restaurant located on the property. The atmosphere, drinks, food, live music and view are definitely worth your time. This place is fantastic! You need to stay here; it is just that great of a place and location.

This accommodation is great! Clean, comfortable, and located conveniently to everything we needed. Coral is a gem to work with and always responded to our questions in a kind and timely manner.

Very affordable and cozy apartment. Super central and right near the beach. Good walkable food and shopping centers. Cute balcony overlooking the pond. Very close to hotels if meeting with other family in area.

Robin's location in South Cocoa Beach, on the Banana River, is phenomenal. Robin was always responsive and communicative. She went out of her way to accommodate a few special requests. We loved being able to launch our paddleboard and kayak in the backyard. We saw dolphins and water birds every day and saw a rocket launch one night. Robin told us about great restaurants in the area and the timing of the rocket launch. It was nice to have the dryer to dry clothes since we were in the water much of the time. The closest public beach access is easily walkable. It had construction going on, but it wasn't too far to a quieter spot a block or two down. We enjoyed daily paddles and easy walks during our visit. For sleeping comfort, we asked for the thermostat to be lowered at night since that cannot be done from inside the room. The walls, shared with the house, are kind of thin, but blackout curtains and fan (for white noise) made the bedroom more comfy. Overall great spot!
