Our family of five adults, plus one dog, stayed here in August 2022, and it was one of the best rentals we've ever found in Brevard - just perfect for us!
The owners truly care about their home, and it shows. This visit, upon arrival, was no different. The place was clean, well stocked and even tastefully decorated for the Christmas holiday. Just lovely.
No one thought that Mother Nature would negatively affect our visit this far south. But we lost power for about 6-7 hours during the bitter cold temps, only one house of about 1,000+, during daytime hours, at least. That alone turned out not to be so bad on a sunny day; we had a sweater for our dog. And we got heat back on (6-7 hours later) as soon as the power was restored.
But as the power went out, so did the water. This house has well water. Once the power came back on, we tried everything we knew to do to get the pump restarted and water back on, but it didn't work - likely a frozen well head or pipe. Because it was now Xmas Eve and Xmas Day, and all local plumbers were overwhelmed trying to service other permanent resident's homes where pipes and systems froze in the extreme temperatures, we didn't get running water back in the house before our departure. The homeowners also did their best to try and get it fixed, of course. But when they couldn't, they provided a refund, even though we were able to spend each night of our reservation there with plenty of heat. It was the right thing to do. That shows the character of these owners.
So, we'll be back! Hopefully in less extreme weather conditions.
You should rent this place, too! You won't regret it.
