This exquisitely refurbished property, along with its manicured landscape, draped in Palm Trees and local well maintained natural flora, and its tranquility well keeps the aura, prestige and Art Deco-ish persona and spirit of the era and the location. The cottage was fabulous. The accommodations are superbly comfortable (the bed was super comfortable) and pleasant with full kitchen - and tools of a full kitchen trade (i.e., coffee maker, silverware, plates - and they offer creamer, coffee, sweetener, and then some... who does that?), a full bath (albeit small by today's standards - not a complaint mind you - leaving more room for comfort and convenience), clean, colorful and beautifully appointed throughout, nice and quiet, and the living area with plenty of room to lounge out and relax after a long day of leisure! The folks here have done a brilliant and thoughtful job of renovation and accommodation! You get your own little patio table and chairs, a small cascading water feature... and a Grill if wish the hassle - not me! Also the property offers its own sandy beach rendezvous area, a nice long dock to stroll, fish in and/or for docking your boat, the place also offers grills, and canoes and kayaks too. They state in their intro "enjoy the old Florida lifestyle" and they're absolutely right and on target. This fabulous hideaway on the Indian River (the intracoastal to the Atlantic) is a marvelous retreat locale for anyone, especially if you're a beach bum or lounger. Peaceful, tranquil and relaxing. Luckily, my daughter lives nearby, so from now on when we visit the family, we have a new place to stay. We fully recommend anyone to stay at the relaxing, leisurely and fabulous Island View Cottages in the exquisitely beautiful Florida Town of Sebastian! It's superb!

Well, cabin fever has set in and my wife and I needed to GET OUT!!! Only problem, was this whole…read moreCOVID 19 thing. So what to do? Last May, there was an article in the Herald talking about IVC in Sebastian FL, right on the Indian River. It sounded too good to be true and when I looked closer online, there were nothing but 5 star reviews! This immediately set off alarms like buying on Amazon and you look at the reviews, all 5 stars, yet all on the same date and within the same hour! Hmmm, but when checking out IVC, these appeared legit! So I got on the phone and spoke with Beth. She was very cordial and explained how careful they all were and each Cottage (while sharing neighboring walls), had their own A/C unit and separate entrance. There were sanitized with Ozone/UV light and sealed with no entry for days before your arrival. Each cottage is different (there are 12), but for us the 7 units that are pet friendly was one of best conveniences. As a dog owner, one knows that a pet can and will have an odor (no matter how hard one tries). But with the Ozone/UV cleaning, the smells are eliminated as well as COVID free, talk about win-win! The cottages vary from single rooms with kitchenette, to multi-rooms with sun porches. They all have either a full or mini fridge and microwave. Best part, you can park right outside your unit and unload, no steps or elevators to deal with! We made reservations and prayed that no Tropical Storm would ruin our Labor Day Weekend at IVC. I can't describe them all, but do check out their website, it is a perfect overview. They are small rustic cottages so keep that in mind. Upon arrival we were met by Tim and Beth, our hosts (from PA), why do I say that? Well there is just something about folks from PA, they just good people (of course I'm one too, so maybe I just recognized a good background when I see it). Tim and Beth both remained at a respectable 10 feet away (yes, it was hard not to shake hands, but sadly our new normal). They gave us the "lay of the land" and informed us that the cancelled July 4th Fireworks were rescheduled to this evening and we had prime seating on the dock! NICE! Our unit (4), was at the end, which normally I would be concern due to road noise (found out later that there were railroad tracks further west, but hardly heard the train at all), the A/C unit which needs to run constantly to keep it cool in the 90+ temps outside, masks any road and train noise. We had a dog bed and doggie towels, along with two small bowls, awaiting for our pup and best of all no old pet smells!!! Even our dog couldn't smell another dog! We unloaded the car (we always bring too much), which required leaving the door open for a long period. This left the unit warm and we were concerned that the small A/C wouldn't cool it off, but a few hours later it was good. We ordered dinner (was hoping for delivery, but the locals don't have that perfected yet, so we did pickup). Food can be a challenge during the age of COVID, but Sebastion has (as of this writing) less than 300 cases, so they don't worry too much about all that. The restaurants, while practicing safety with masks and distancing, don't do much in takeout and delivery. But the food was good and the staff was so nice and friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back and enjoy eating in just for the atmosphere. After diner it was Fireworks time and the show didn't disappoint! Tim and Beth were there too and offered a free beverage to enjoy the show. It did rain at the end, but it was a quick retreat back to our cottage. Next day I got up early, they had local ground coffee in our unit and a pot was brewed. Time for a walk to the dock with coffee and the pup. Ended up sitting there for two hours, just enjoying the river and birds. Dolphins even came by to say hello. A trip to the nearby Inlet (which also had limited entrance due to COVID) was a great way to spend the day. Could have also stayed and borrow a canoe or kayak and paddle out to the barrier island (no charge), but maybe next time. Next day was a nice walk to the local Riverview Park (just up the road). Folks were friendly and respectful of distance. What a wonderful walk with the dog and such a beautiful setting. We had to leave the next day, but not before thanking our hosts Tim and Beth. They were so warm and friendly, it made the trip feel more like visiting family, thanks so much. WE SHALL RETURN!!!

Full size coffeemaker - good luck finding one in most hotels! The rooms are clean and the grounds are well kept, Having a gas grill on the tiki deck was a great bonus so we could have a night to cook out instead of eating out or ordering in. Just off Indian River Drive, it's an easy walk to pretty much any of the sights, attractions and establishments in downtown Sebastian and along the waterfront, while at the same time being on a quiet street where it's nice to sit out and relax in the chairs provided for each room. They also have a private pier for guests only, where you can fish, watch a sunrise or just relax while watching dolphins chasing a meal. The owners are extremely responsive, going out of their way to ensure you have a great stay ( Kyle is "da MAN"!). I highly recommend Davis House Inn for a great place to stay in Sebastian. It's now a favorite of ours and we'll be staying there again!

The room and amenities were clean and well taken care of. Parking was available but not always close to your room, but also the walks weren't bad as everywhere on property was so pretty! All of the rooms had either a balcony or patio space as well. You have private beach access, the ability to rent a variety of beach items, pool, splash pad, mini golf and more! They had a schedule of activities (similar to what you would get on a cruise ship!) and so much to do to stay busy. Overall the resort was beautiful and we can't wait to come visit again!

Check in was easy and we found our room, on the second floor, with no elevator. The unit is nice enough, but the bed is so soft I already have a back ache, and the sofa is super uncomfortable. The shower head is so small not a lot of water comes out, and our toilet keeps running. People moved in below us, and they are so loud and noisy it is frustrating. Although we are on the second floor, we can hear everything from down below us. There is supposed to be a limit on the number of people in a room, but the people below us have way more than the allowed amount and we can hear the kids running all around. The bar across the street plays music so loud, and we are clear in the back, but we can still hear it in our unit. The swimming pool is nice as it's salt water, and there are plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The loungers are made for very short people, as I am 5' 2" and my feet hang off the edge. They are very uncomfortable for any length of time. For us, the problem was the guests. There was a family with 10 children, so you can imagine how loud and crazy it was there. Even the adults were so loud and noisy that it wasn't a relaxing time at all. The pool is open until midnight, and loud people are using it every night, so don't plan on going to sleep early. Although there are signs that say no scooters, bikes, etc., kids are riding them all over the sidewalks. Twice we have almost been run over. No management around to do anything. They must have sprinklers running at night, as our car was covered with sprinkler water the first two nights, and if you live in Florida, you know that's a bad thing. I have had to take a bucket of water out and wash our car so that the spots aren't embedded in our matte paint. The grounds here are very nice, and for the most part the unit is in decent shape, but my experience has been lousy so I wouldn't even think about returning.

The condos themselves are pretty nice. They all come with a porch and some come with a back porch as well. They aren't anything special but they are perfectly fine for what you need for your stay in Sebastian. The grounds are always kept up and it seems like each year they make improvements somewhere on the resort. The Bay side is a little quieter due to it being smaller but both sides are relatively peaceful and relaxing. There is a tennis court, basketball court and a shuffle board court for the guests of both sides to share. You can even rent a boat for $100 per week. Overall, this resort is worth every penny. No it's not a 5 star resort but you can't go wrong with staying at this place.

So Ian paid us a visit anyway. Unfortunately the power didn't come back on the first day but we were gone all day anyway so it didn't matter. Actually it did allow us to unplug for a while. We're starting our second night with no power but that's no fault of the motels. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.
