Weekly/monthly discounts If you’re looking for a standardized, franchised, typical vacation setting, this is not for you. If you are looking for a cookie-cutter home on a chemically treated barren plot of land, this is not for you. But if you’d like to rediscover the best of Old-Florida living, this is the place! Riverside home has 2 comfortable bedrooms and stylish mid-century furnishings. Private fenced yard with solar heated pool, Weber gas grill, lush natural tropical landscaping. The space The nostalgic kitchen boasts the original custom-built Dade County pine cabinets and modern appliances for the best of old and new.

Poolside, soak up Florida's famous rays in the lounge chairs or at the outdoor dining table. In the front yard, lounge on the patio shaded by palms. Have your breakfast at the patio table while watching the seagulls and pelicans fish for theirs. Newly installed Italian glass terrazzo floors reflect the Florida sunshine. A separate utility room includes a washer and dryer, and there is even an enclosed rear porch where you can drop your things on returning from the beaches or the new Sebastian water park. Directly across the sandy drive is the Roseland Community Park with a community dock. Here you can stroll along the banks of the St. Sebastian, or take advantage of the public dock to fish, read, or just catch the sunset. Sit quietly for a while, and you’re likely to spot dolphins and manatees as they play and forage. There’s no question that you’ll soon be visited by some of Sebastian’s famous pelicans. If you’re not familiar with the Sebastian River area, you’re in for a delightful surprise. This is where manatees come to over-winter. Dolphins, birds, fish, and nature-loving humans love the Sebastian River. You will, too! Pelican Island, the country's first National Wildlife Refuge, was established here over a century ago. Ever since, Sebastian has remained a place that cherishes its natural beauty and makes a special effort to preserve it. With the Sebastian River right across the way, and with the Indian River, Intracoastal Waterway, and Atlantic Ocean only minutes away, you'll never run out of things to do here. The beaches on the barrier island, across the Indian River lagoon, are practically deserted. Take a ride on the "Sebastian River Queen Jungle tour," a pontoon boat tour of the Sebastian River that passes in front of your vacation cottage, on a photo safari quest for dolphins, herons, and alligators. Like surfing? The Sebastian Inlet is one of the top spots on Florida's coast to surf. Feeling really daring? Skydive Sebastian, billing itself as "Florida's most scenic drop zone," is only a mile away. If you should tire of the peace and quiet, the attractions of Orlando are just an hour and a half away. Or tour the facilities of NASA's Cape Canaveral, an hour to the north. If you’re lucky enough to be here at the time of a space launch, watch the northeastern skies at launch time for a special treat. Need more room than this cottage offers? Only a few doors away is our Sebastian Riverfront cabana guesthouse with pool and boat dock. If you’re looking for luxury accommodations, prepackaged predictability, or a gated resort that could be anywhere in the world… keep looking. But if you’re like us and love the Florida that has enchanted out-of-town visitors for decades, spend a little time here. You’ll be glad you did.
