Wonderful stay!

This property is beautiful and in an excellent location. The view was amazing, the fishing was great! We caught, red fish, shark, sting ray, snook, and almost a tarpon off the dock! The space was more than enough for our family. The host was phenomenal and went above and beyond for us to have a wonderful stay with our family! We will definitely be back, actually will probably book again for next year!

Consistently great

We’ve stayed at the Reel House numerous times and it’s always great. Each time we visit the owner has made more upgrades. If you fish, the dock is great for your boat or for just casting into the river. We’ve caught tarpon, snook and big jacks right of the dock. It’s a fun place to stay. We even enjoy the trains traveling by.

This was our 3rd stay at the Reel House. It was super as in the past. Great location. Good fishing within 5 minutes of the dock. Easy access to Sebastian and its restaurants. Just a nice place to relax.

Best spot on the river

The house is great. Clean, modern, well furnished and comfortable. The dock is also functional and well maintained. The electricity and the light work. Fishing from the dock is also an added bonus.

Paradise!

The house was beautiful on the inside. The view of the Indian River was spectacular and loved fishing of the docks on the property. The kitchen was beautiful and I had everything I needed. We like to pack light and the laundry room was equipped with great washer/dryer. We also really enjoyed the home theater. Only two observations that would have been nice was bedrooms didn’t get as cool as rest of house so it took a couple nights to adjust to higher temp than used to and would have been nice to have had the large back yard mowed for easier access to river and docks. Overall I would recommend this property with a four and a half out of five stars.

Great Location for Fishing and Train Spotting

We stayed mid January two seniors and Loved it! House is Updated, Clean Beautiful and a great location! Riverfront with docks & fenced for pets & kids.Great location for a large family and two other rentals on property if you have a large gathering! Craig responded Immediately to any questions. Neighbors are super nice. Lot's of parking and Location is convenient to beach, town(s) and fishing. Theater room is a bonus for bad weather days. We bring our own devices & had no issues after a few "reboots" We will stay again if our travels bring us this way. We love trains so the Lumbering freight haulers running 55+ mph caressed our sleep and the Brightline 2 engine 4 passengers zipping pass at 70 + mph did not blow their horns crossing the bridge. Kids grand-kids and adult kids, if you love trains like we do spend a few nights you will not regret it!

This property exceeds expectations. The owner and property manager are friendly and responsive. The property is quiet and peaceful with plenty of room to park, relax, and enjoy. It has multiple docks, one of which is newly renovated with seating and overhead coverage. For boaters and fishermen, the location is close to the inlet and a perfect place to stay.

A decent riverfront property but next to railroad which runs almost all day!

My family was quite excited when we checked in this house. The property looks outdated on the outside but very well kept on the inside. Great waterfront view with a fishing/boat dock in the back. However, this property is right next to the railroad which it runs almost all day (even at midnight and again at 4am). The worst part was the railroads needed some repair when my family was there so the pounding sounds started from 8am to 4pm. It was impossible to relax. Other than the railroad issues everything about this house was great.

Perfect house and stunning location on St. Sebastian River

We really enjoyed our time at Riverview Getaway. Our family was able to maneuver and dock our boat with no problem down the St. Sebastian River from the ICW (Stay in the Channel). We did some fishing from the docks everyday and enjoyed the theather room watching movies at nights. House has everything you would need and is nicely decorated. Craig, the property manager, was very welcoming, responsive and shared a lot of extra details/information to make our stay very comfortable. We look forward to returning to this little gem, hopefully very soon!

Perfect home

This house exceeded our expectations. Everything worked, it was very clean, great location. Good dock with electricity. Like all Florida docks it was a bit high so if you have a typical inshore fishing boat I recommend some type of short ladder to attach to the dock. The only thing I would recommend to the owner is a DVD player in the Theater Room (which we enjoyed very much). This is a great place, Hope to rent it again.

Perfect Getaway

November 2021 - This was the perfect location for a fall getaway. Our teenage boys enjoyed fishing from the dock, kayaks and our boat which was safe and secure at the property's dock. Within minutes, you are in the Indian River with a direct path to the Sebastian Inlet if you prefer to go offshore. The house had all the comforts of home to make our stay effortless. Craig is an amazing host, checking in with us before the stay, on the days of check-in and check-out and quickly answering any inquiries during our stay. We look forward to another stay this fall!

Nice property with river view

Nice property with a good view and large back yard. The property manager is excellent as well. Only downside is that it is right next to a fairly busy railway and associated RR bridge that is under construction so it gets noisy at times especially if you are outside.
