Grant-Valkaria, FL · Waterfront 3BR · Private Dock & Kayaks · 5.4 mi by boat to the Sebastian Inlet sandbar · Dog-Friendly



Wake up to the sun coming up over the Indian River Lagoon from a private dock that is yours for the whole stay. Sunrise on the River is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home of about 1,800 sq ft in Grant-Valkaria, halfway between Melbourne and Vero Beach on Florida's Space Coast. It sleeps 8 across 5 beds, and the kitchen and living room look straight out at the water.


ON THE WATER
A private dock with roughly 50 feet of frontage and its own mooring. It comfortably takes a 30' boat, and larger boats are often fine — just ask us first (our own 26-footer ties up with no trouble; confirm your length and draft with us before arrival). Kayaks, paddleboards, paddles and life vests are included. It is 5.4 miles by water to the Sebastian Inlet sandbar and out to the Atlantic. Christenson's Landing public boat ramp is 2.3 miles away and a second public ramp is under 2 miles, with driveway parking for your boat trailer. The dock has rod holders and a bench. Dolphins and manatees pass by most mornings.


OUTSIDE
Gazebo, wood-burning fire pit, charcoal grill, Adirondack chairs, hammocks and a wide open waterfront lawn. Fishing gear is not provided — bring your own rods and tackle. Unobstructed northern view across the lagoon — SpaceX and Kennedy Space Center launches are visible from the dock.


INSIDE
1,800 sq ft, open plan with panoramic water views. Full kitchen equipped for real cooking, 5 mini-split A/C units (individual climate control room by room — no central air) plus 6 ceiling fans, fiber WiFi, full-size washer and dryer, Smart TV in every bedroom, streaming included.


SLEEPING (5 beds · sleeps 8)
- Bedroom 1 (primary): 1 King, en-suite bathroom
- Bedroom 2: 1 Queen
- Bedroom 3: 2 twin bunk beds (4 twins)


DOGS WELCOME
Up to two dogs, no size or breed restriction. Pre-approval at booking; pet fee applies. Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds.


GOOD TO KNOW
You book the entire house, the yard, the gazebo, the fire pit and the private dock. There is a separate efficiency unit on the property that is not rented out — it is kept for the owners' own use. The owners may occasionally come by, always with advance notice, to use that unit or their boat. It has its own entrance and parking, and your stay is never disturbed.
