"OLD FLORIDA" RIVERSIDE POOL COTTAGE THAT TIME FORGOT | House in Sebastian
2 Bedroom House in Roseland, Sebastian
WE TAKE OUR RESPONSIBILITY VERY SERIOUSLY TO PROVIDE A SANITARY, SAFE HOME FOR YOU.
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, with a chemically treated treeless yard, this is not for you. But if you’d like to rediscover the best of Old-Florida living, our cottage showcasing lush, mature landscaping and overlooking the beautiful St. Sebastian River, with lush, mature landscaping is just the kind of place you’re looking for!
Remember when Florida was known as a semitropical paradise, a place to relish indoor-outdoor living, where your comfortable, casual vacation bungalow was designed to catch the breezes? Remember when palm trees swaying in the breeze at the water's edge were more of an attraction than mini-golf and T-shirt huts? Remember when beaches were peaceful and secluded, and you didn’t have to spend time searching for a private spot to lay down your beach towels? Thankfully, those places aren't gone entirely!
Just a mile upstream from the Indian River lagoon and a short drive from the unspoiled beaches of the barrier islands, follow the sandy lanes along the banks of the Saint Sebastian River to this cheerful cottage in the heart of Sebastian’s historic Roseland community. This is one of those little Florida enclaves that haven’t changed very much over the decades-- because the residents have fought to maintain the character of the place that drew them there in the first place.
Our non-smoking home features two comfortable bedrooms with crisp, all-cotton sheets. Stylishly casual and colorful midcentury furnishings lend a peaceful air to this quiet getaway. Italian glass terrazzo floors reflect the Florida sunshine passing through classically styled awning windows. Catch a relaxing view of the river from the living room and glassed-in Florida room.
The charming nostalgic kitchen boasts the original custom-built Dade County pine cabinets and vintage Formica countertops, still in fine condition. We’ve also updated this fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances for the best of old and new. The cupboards store an eclectic array of retro tableware, lots of cookware, blender, Keurig and an automatic drip coffeemaker, and a large assortment of kitchen utensils. In fact, many of our guests have remarked on how well equipped the entire cottage is, to the extent that they say that all they need to bring on their next visit is a toothbrush and a few changes of clothes!
The original 1948 yellow and pink(!) bathroom is well stocked with natural-fiber towels, hair dryer, and first-aid kit. For your convenience, we provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
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 beach.
Or skip the beach and step out onto the pool deck in the fenced backyard! The recently installed pool featuring a swanky tanning shelf remains comfortable year 'round with solar heating in the winter. We provide thirsty beach towels, pool floats, and noodles. Soak up Florida's famous rays in the lounge chairs or at the outdoor dining table. The backyard is no barren plot of grass, but is lushly landscaped with mature plantings...your own little private tropical garden! Weber gas grill provided.
When you're ready to move to the front patio, enjoy with an unobstructed view of the pristine and wildlife-friendly Sebastian River. Have your breakfast at the patio table while watching the seagulls and pelicans fish for theirs. There is a smaller covered patio outside the Florida room/sleeping porch, so you can decide just how “outdoorsy” you want to be.
Directly across the sandy drive is the Roseland Community Park. 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.
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 Historic Riverfront Cabana guesthouse with pool and boat dock.
We have owned and have personally managed this cottage with constant hands-on attention to detail for almost 20 years and pride ourselves in providing a memorable vacation experience. Our own home is only a few doors away, so while we completely respect your privacy and right to quiet enjoyment while you're here, we're always just a quick phone call away if you have questions, concerns or issues.
If you’re looking for luxury accommodations, prepackaged predictability, or a gated manicured 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.
*Please note that we recommend traveler's insurance in case you have to cancel or postpone your trip for any reason.
