She seemed to be everywhere--the beach area, the outdoor restaurant, the indoor restaurant, and the bar--always moving, always smiling, always making guests feel welcomed and cared for. She is kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely joyful in her work. Wendy doesn't just serve food and drinks--she creates an experience that makes you happy to be staying at this hotel. Her energy and warmth are contagious, and she makes guests feel like friends. We will absolutely be back, if only to enjoy the presence of an employee (and now friend) like Wendy. I truly hope management realizes what a shining star they have in her--because she is the kind of person who keeps people coming back again and again. Thank you, Wendy, for making our stay unforgettable!

The building exterior and interior have been upkept well. The paintings and decorative accents are wonderful. The bed, bathroom, and even the extra hang out areas and kitchen are a great plus. Room was well worth the cost and we had a wonderful stay. The breakfast baskets available are a perfect grab and go meal. We will return. There are a few things to keep in mind: 1- The restaurant and bar on first floor ate no longer open, so don't plan to eat or drink on site (bars and eateries are very close by). 2 - The hundred plus year old railroad system runs directly across from the hotel and the entire business district. We loved it, but it is loud and does shake the walls a couple times a day and night ;-) 3 - They use 1 ply toilet paper, you've been warned lol

Formal Complaint Regarding Our Stay - August 28-30, 2026 We…read moregave the hotel location and Barbara Hurley an opportunity to address our concerns and make this situation right. Unfortunately, the response we received was extremely disappointing and was not taken well by us. Based on our recent stay, we experienced repeated disturbances involving individuals who appeared to be severely intoxicated or potentially under the influence of drugs. The circumstances were so concerning that we no longer feel comfortable returning to this property. August 28, 2026 On the first day of our stay, we observed a woman at the pool area who appeared to be drinking heavily. We left the property for dinner and returned later that evening to enjoy the pool. When we returned, the same woman appeared to be severely intoxicated. She was harassing other guests and eventually entered the pool, where she began harassing my wife and me. After approximately 30 minutes, she swam away and attempted to leave the pool. She appeared so impaired that she rolled out of the pool and had difficulty standing and walking. We were genuinely concerned that she was going to fall and seriously injure herself. My wife approached several women nearby whom we believed might have known her, but they explained that they did not know her and said that she had previously been bothering them and attempting to kiss them. My wife then went to the front desk and informed the staff member on duty that there was a severely intoxicated woman in the pool area who appeared to be a danger to herself and was disturbing other guests. We were particularly concerned because she appeared unable to safely care for herself. According to my wife, the front-desk employee stated that she did not want to call the police because the woman was a regular visitor. Ultimately, my wife and another woman helped get the individual back to a room. We found this response extremely concerning. Regardless of whether someone is a regular visitor, guest safety and the safety of other guests should come first. August 29, 2026 The following day was even more disturbing. While we were enjoying the pool, a couple came into the pool area and began arguing. Because we were trying to relax, we moved underneath the covered area to get away from the disturbance. The couple followed and continued arguing, disrupting the other guests who were attempting to enjoy the pool. We eventually left for dinner. When we returned later that evening, the same couple was again in the pool area and appeared to be severely intoxicated or otherwise impaired. The woman approached my wife and me and repeatedly stated that she was in trouble and feared for her life. She then removed much of her clothing and walked around the pool area partially nude. Despite the situation, we did not see the security guard take effective action to address the disturbance or protect the other guests from what was occurring. At that point, we felt extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. In our opinion, the individuals should have been removed from the property and, if appropriate, law enforcement or emergency assistance should have been contacted. August 30, 2026 When checking out, we observed a group of men leaving the property with a woman whom, based solely on our observations, appeared to us to be a prostitute. I want to be clear that I cannot personally verify the identity, occupation, or activities of these individuals. However, combined with everything we experienced during our stay, the situation reinforced our serious concerns about what appeared to be taking place at this property. The repeated incidents involving apparent intoxication, disruptive behavior, possible drug use, inappropriate conduct, and inadequate intervention by hotel personnel have left us with the impression that this property does not provide the safe and comfortable environment that paying guests should reasonably expect. We work hard for our money and should not have to spend our vacation dealing with these types of situations. We will not be returning to this hotel. We are requesting that corporate management conduct a serious investigation into what occurred during our stay, including the response of the front-desk staff and security personnel. We also expect management to review whether appropriate policies and procedures were followed when dealing with severely intoxicated, disruptive, or potentially endangered individuals. We intend to forward this complaint to the corporate office and the Better Business Bureau because we believe these concerns deserve to be formally documented and investigated. We would appreciate a written response addressing each of these incidents and explaining what steps will be taken to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.

The space was perfect for a beach getaway with ocean views and the spacious room to gather when you want and disappear when you want solitude. Perfect on the surface. Unfortunately, I have to say the renovation was "lipstick on a pig." The ceiling in the bathroom was super low. I raised my arm to shave the pit and hit my hand on the ceiling. When I looked up, there was mold growing on the air vent. That got me looking closer to the details of the room. The carpet was frayed, the sofa was sunken in, and there was dust and splattered paint on the windows. Thankfully there was enough to do outside the room, but I can say the resort has good bones even if it's not the best maintained. I would return, but definitely to a room in the main building where more eyes are on the rooms. Kudos for the staff training though.

I could definitely see a wonderful bubble bath if I had time. The bed was so comfortable. I feel like I was sleeping on a cloud. The pillows were so nice. The room was nicely decorated. With a small sitting area outside on a balcony. You felt like both home and vacation. Very tropical landscape. There's a front porch sitting area and a huge deck in the back. Looks very inviting. Breakfast was wonderful. She kept it hot until I came down. So nice. It's Christmas time so they have the place decorated very nice. My only complaint is I'm here for work. So I'm not going to get to enjoy everything. I would love to sit on the porch drink coffee and relax. I'm definitely going to return when I'm not working. Bring my husband along. I know he'd fall in Love with the place.

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!!!
