Great stay in Sebastian

Every thing about this stay was top notch. Such a pleasant, clean place to stay with so many things to do close by. Many great restaurants, parks, fishing and of course the Mel Fisher museum were awesome. It could not have been better.

Great VRBO in Sebastian

We really enjoyed our stay Mel Fisher Museum cottage.Very comfortable, well maintained, nicely furnished and very clean with well functioning appliances, and responsive hosts. I liked that kayaks and a bicycle were provided ( Didnt get to use the kayaks but did get to bicycle along the Indian River). Not an exterior with 'curb appeal', but a location with restaurants bars and the river right there, that can't be beat.

The location is great for shopping and restaurants, and having a reserved parking spot is definitely a plus since it’s part of the museum lot and the other spots can fill up. Just something to keep in mind if you have more than one car or visitors. The price felt fair, the place was clean, and it had everything we needed. The museum tickets were a nice bonus, and the kayaks would be awesome to use in warmer weather.We stayed during an unseasonably cold stretch with temps in the 30s. The heat worked well in the living room, but the bedroom and bathroom stayed pretty cold, and the water actually froze briefly while we were there.The main thing to be aware of is the noise and light. There’s a train track nearby and you hear trains throughout the day and night. It’s also directly between two bars, so there’s music and people outside until around 11 pm or later. Since it’s right on Route 1, there’s regular road noise and sirens as well. If you’re a light sleeper, this might be tough.There’s also quite a bit of light that comes in at night. The shades don’t block much of the headlights or nearby lighting, and there’s a bright red exit sign inside the building above the door that stays on.Overall it’s a good value in a convenient spot, but definitely something to consider if you’re sensitive to noise or light

OUR GET A WAY

Unit was clean and comfortable and well decorated.....noise level from motorcycles was higher than expected----but we adapted to it. Unit was close to everything and for walking, biking or sitting on the pier was very good. Lots of good restaurants beach bars, and good music . We would consider another visit in the future as the whole process was easy and reliable..

Holiday in Sebastian

We have stayed here before and feel at home here. Nicole provides everything that is needed for a stay here.since we were here for 4 days and like to cook our meals one or two more pots would be ideal. And perhaps a dish pan as there is no dish washer. Otherwise very comfortable here😀

Beautifully managed!

We had a lot of fun staying at this property! It’s located in a great spot, central to many great restaurants and of course the museum. It’s a nice drive over to the island and all of the beaches and state park too. The bungalow was so cozy and sweet and was nicely equipped with anything you might need for cooking, relaxing, beach going or even biking. Nichole was amazing and friendly very responsive. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to come back at a better time of year for treasure hunting. 😉

Location Location Location !

Ideal, and I mean ideal, location to everything in Sebastian, many fun establishments are within walking distance. Large open kitchen/living room combo great. Bedroom size very good, good closet, dresser. Private back porch is exactly that, private. Bathroom is a little tight, no flat surfaces around sink area to set items on. Might I suggest a narrow shelving unit between the two doors, under the window. A few more towels bars would be handy as well. Kitchen thoughtfully stocked. Lawn chairs, beach towels, bicycles were a very nice plus. EVERYTHING worked; AC, appliances, hot water, lights. Mattress & bedding good. The pullout sofa is honestly very comfy to sleep the whole night on. Paved flat parking right up to entrance door. Is located on same property as the Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum which means it is a VERY safe place to stay. Last but not least Nichole is the perfect hostess. She's always available if you need anything but not intrusive at all. We liked staying there so much, I'm going to book it again right now for August. Side note...best restaurant in town is right next door; Mo-Bay's.

Love Sebastian

Cottage at Mel Fishers is great, kitchen is spacious, bed is comfy, couch eh not so much. Overall you will love this place and close proximity to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, Rx and bait and tackle shops. The boat ramp is right across the street and well equipped with good amount of parking and restroom facilities. Nicole is a sweetheart and very responsive to any needs you may have. Have stayed here twice and won’t be the last.

we were not in the unit for any long length of time during the day

The feeling of security would be greater if there were curtains on the bedroom windows. Not only would it inspire privacy but also shield some of the light that comes in from all the streetlamps and possibly decreasing the volume of the sirens rolling along the main drag out in front of the museum. The hot water wasn't very hot and the bathroom sink could not be unplugged no matter how hot (added boiling) the water was going down that drain.
