Nearby museums like the Navy SEAL Museum and Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum highlight the region's history. The Vero Beach Museum of Art showcases contemporary art and offers educational programs. Numerous cultural festivals celebrate music, food, and traditions, adding vibrancy to the area. Aqua Cottage itself showcases a number of pieces of Chinese folk art which have been incorporated into its design, furniture and furnishings. Look carefully and you will notice beautifully detailed carvings and paintings throughout the house, each of which must have taken the talented Chinese artisans of years-gone-by a great deal of time and effort to create.

House had a great old Florida cottage feel. It wasn’t super fancy, but clean and quaint with everything we needed. Super close to the beach which made for a beautiful morning stroll. Didn’t love some of the unique mystical decor but the mattress in the main and one of the guest rooms had just been updated to large king beds which were comfortable. The master bedroom is like a retreat set apart from the other rooms. We were there in December but I imagine a summer stay would be especially amazing because they have everything needed for outdoor beach fun in the garage.

This property was perfect for our group! We were three adult couples visiting the area for a wedding and this was perfectly located and perfectly stocked! We made great use of the beach and were so happy the rental had chairs and umbrellas. Everything was very clean and cute and the owner was extremely responsive to the questions we had. Thank you, would love to rent this spot again!

The property was a moments walk to the beach. It was smaller than expected, tiny kitchen and living room but clean and cozy. We were a family of 6 and made it work. The owner showed up as soon as I mentioned the dishwasher wasn’t working well. He truly cared that we were satisfied. The house is sturdy, old Florida with cool terrazzo floors.

We loved the aqua house. It’s less than a minute walk to the beach and there are four very good restaurants within walking distance. The hosts are very responsive and if there is a problem, it is fixed as quickly as possible. The house is stocked with all the beach paraphernalia you could want-towels, umbrellas, games, boogy boards, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have booked for next year!

Super location Vero. This place is adorable and clean. It’s very well equipped and adorably decorated. The place is older, so it has the expected esthetic. We did have some issues during our stay, but they were quickly resolved by the property manager.

We're a senior couple who look for uncrowded, quiet areas to relax and enjoy reading, painting, walking etc...and we found it at this house. It's a touch of old Florida but very well updated and beautifully decorated, bright and cheerful. Just about anything you could want is there, several bikes, surf boards, huge washer and dryer, comfortable furniture, a good- sized unfenced yard for our little poodle to wander in, a beautiful beach right across the street through South Beach Park, and the location was ideal for us--primarily a quiet residential area with not much traffic. The back porch is shaded and a good place to sit outdoors in the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed it and found the agent/host easy to work with and welcoming. I feel I have to mention to other dog owners that this beach (which we had never visited before) has some of the toughest dog restrictions we've run across in years of travel all over the country with our sweet little dog (who's blind and never done one bit of damage to anything or anyone) but we just adjusted to it, and it didn't diminish our enjoyment of the house at all. It's lovely and I highly recommend it for all ages. Something for everyone.

Stayed with family for a weekend before heading to Orlando for a volleyball tournament. Was clean, spacious, stocked kitchen….and literally steps to the beach. Short drive to town for restaurants, bars and shopping. And recommend South Beach Pizzeria that’s literally walking distance right around the corner. Took a drive south and got to see manatees, too! Great place. Adults and teens all fully enjoyed!

We come back every year to this perfect little beach house. It's got everything we need, bikes, room and laundry and the location to the beach can't be beat. We don't use the kitchen much because we eat out most of the time. But we love this Aqua Cottage.

We loved the aqua cottage. I was cozy and had enough room for 5 of us. The location right across from the beach was perfect. We were only 5 minutes away from everything we wanted to go to; our nephew's wedding, the beach, in town shopping, the botanical gardens and grocery shopping. There were a few glitches when we arrived - the air conditioner wasn't working, but a repair person came and fixed it promptly. Also, it was close to the road to the beach, but even so, it was very quiet.
I would stay there again.

Wonderful stay
I would definitely stay here again but would love to see a few updates. The master bed was quite uncomfortable and the fridge’s temperature was off - not cold enough/light was out. With those updates it would be a 5/5 stars. Super convenient to the beach and close enough to town. It makes a great bike ride!

We were only at Aqua Cottage for 4 nights and really wish it could have been longer. It truly feels like a home away from home, and such a short walk to the beach!!! South Beach Pizza is literally around the corner and soooo good! Loved having the bikes(there are 4). There are tons of beach towels and everything you would need for a day at the beach!! Be sure and check out Waldos at the Driftwood resort. It is a 25 min walk by beach and is a fun outdoor bar/restaurant that often has live music right on the beach. We would definitely rent Aqua Cottage again and recommend to others!

We thoroughly enjoyed the location near the beach and near lovely, quiet neighborhood streets great for walking and biking. The house was roomy with adequate furnishings, nice bed linens and luxurious bath towels. The upstairs bedroom suite had its own newer HVAC unit which was very efficient for that area. Beach toys, towels, chairs, etc. were abundant. In the garage were 2 bikes, an adult trike with worn out tires and a new washer with older, efficient dryer. There were wooden shelves covered with dirt and grit. The sheltered patio was a nice feature.
The biggest disappointment in the house was the outdated kitchen. The shelves in the old painted cabinets were in disarray with flaking paint inside some of the dishes. The shelves and drawers were very dirty. The kick boards were missing so under the cabinets was a disturbing sight. The old dishwasher’s bottom rack was perhaps not the original or it had lost some wheels because it was difficult to roll in and out of the washer. One door shelf of the refrigerator was not useable. The oven was new and very nice as was the granite countertop.
