FLORIDA BEACH HOUSE RIGHT ON THE OCEAN - Spring and Summer discounts now!

IGUANA AZUL is an ole time Florida beach cottage nestled so snug up against the ocean that you will feel like you are on a boat. Go to sleep at night listening to the waves crashing on the untouched beach in front of you. Wake up to the morning sun rising out over the eastern horizon right off the Moroccan coast.
Take casual beach walks down to Sebastian Inlet as you experience the natural Florida beach the way time has always known it. Enjoy some of the best fishing on the Florida coast off the Inlet jetty or just right off the beach.
Iguana Azul is an authentic ole Florida beach cottage with its simplicity. It is not a condo or an extravagant mansion. The treasure of the house is outside the house.
You will have your very own boardwalk to the beach. You will have your own tropically landscaped yard with bananas, coconuts, and mangos. Tropical flowers are abundant all year around for your pleasure. The local seagulls, pelicans, and lizards will dazzle you. You might happen upon an armadillo or a long white tropical bird searching for dinner.
From May until November, watch sea turtles come ashore to lay their nests or see hatchlings dig free to frenzy down to the water's edge. Half of all sea turtle nests on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are laid in this 20 mile stretch of pristine undeveloped beach.
Watch marine life swim in the open ocean from your kitchen window. From dolphins, rays, turtles and more, you won't believe what happens next in this open aquarium right in front of your eyes.
You may also notice the many sailboats or tankers as they cruise way offshore to their northern or southern foreign destinations. You will gaze at their lights off in the distance on a star filled, moon lit evening. You may be inspired to take an evening stroll along the shore as the waves gently lap over your ankles.

Iguana Azul can comfortably sleep 8 members of your family and friends. The well furnished, outside back patio encircles a large 8 person hot tub for those relaxing evenings under the moon and stars. Sit under the authentic tiki hut built by the Seminole Indian tribe as you look out over the beach below .
You may not want to leave Iguana Azul, but if you are looking to explore, there are many interesting adventures awaiting you such as the Space Station tour on Cape Canaveral, The Mel Fisher Treasure Museum, The Barrier Island Marine Sanctuary, The Brevard Zoo, and several boat and walking tours in close proximity. You may want to rent your own boat or just take advantage of the many local fishing charters, or rent a kayak from Honest John's where you may meet Gator the pig and explore the canals for manatee. The Sebastian Surf and Sport Shop will rent surfboards, buggy boards, skim boards, or stand up paddle boards while Whitey's will supply you with all you need to fish right off the beach behind your house. The Long Point shop is where you get your goodies for the evening.
All in all, your time at Iguana Azul can be as relaxing as you like or as adventuresome as you like.
We invite you to be our guests at our little slice of paradise.
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned vacation home. There's a private patio. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a sofa bed.
This smoke-free vacation home features ecotours nearby, snorkeling nearby, and surfing/body boarding nearby. Recreational activities include hiking/biking trails nearby, kayaking nearby, and sailing nearby.

Love this beach house!

This beach house has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The view from the raised deck is amazing. The beach is only a few steps away down your private walkway. The beds are comfortable. Everything looks recently remodeled. And best of all, you have your own hot tub to enjoy while checking out the stars!

Family Friendly Beachfront Stay

This beachfront home was everything we hoped for! There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably. I slept in the master king bed which was extremely comfortable. The property was pet friendly. We relaxed in the hot tub overlooking the fabulous beach view. We highly recommend this property.

Loved this house and location

This house has a comfortable warm feeling. We have 2 small well trained dogs and they loved it, too. There is a fenced area for dogs to run around and mine were busy chasing small lizards.They loved it! Most rentals do not have an area like that. The kitchen is fully equipped. It has 3 beautiful bedrooms-we only used one. There is decking with plenty outdoor seating in and out of the sun. We loved the deck pathway right to the beautiful beach, which is also dog friendly. The ocean is in full view from the house while the house sits back a little and is quiet from noise on the beach and on the road behind it. We saw a couple guys catch a shark and let it go. That was exciting! When we are in that area again, we will contact Ric who is very friendly and responds right way. Definitely recommend this house. Karen C.

Perfect and peaceful

Watching the waves on the ocean is my favorite thing to do, and this is the perfect house to do it. The patio is a few steps up from the ground, so the view of the ocean is just right there anytime you want to see it. If you have a pet, the fenced in yard is what makes this house above and beyond. You don’t have to worry about your pet wandering off while you are enjoying view. we will be back!

Rest & Relax

Fished just about every day out our back door. Made lots of memories with the grandkids. There were plenty of sand toys for the kids. The outdoor shower and foot wash were extremely helpful. Kitchen was equipped with new stainless steel appliances. Master king bed was nice and firm. The two bathrooms were well stocked with plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The outside has beautiful flowers all around. This is a typical old-school Floridian home with all its charm. It brought back memories of our childhood. The tiki hut was awesome while we sipped margaritas and BBQed dinner every night . Will definitely be back!!!

A Gem on the Treasure Coast

The house is not fancy but has everything you need, but you won't even notice the house when you see that view and easy beach access!We wanted to see rocket launches and the Geminid meteor shower, and the dark sky on the beach just steps out the door was perfect! I don't know when we'll be back, but I hope it's soon!!

Bitter Sweet Experience

Although this rental isn't convenient to stores and restaurants the fact that it's beach front is it's best attribute. In order to enjoy our stay, it was necessary for us to overlook multiple issues. Finding the place was not easy since the mailbox is hidden by bushes when coming from the south. Big coconut tree above front door that could drop coconuts at any time. Seminole mailbox is rusted and dented. Hugh furniture in the small living room, too large of chair and ottoman plus big coffee table that we kept bumping into. The pull out chair in one bedroom is too small for an adult so that was a waste of supposed sleeping space. Hugh sectional in another room that we guessed should be a master bedroom since it seems to have a master bathroom. Both sectional and large coffee table are very awkward for the room. We think the owner counts the sectional as sleeping space. Rugs have no rubber backing. Closets full of, the only way I can describe them is crap. Broken chair in one bedroom is supposed to be a nighstand. Cans of raid under sink so I suppose there's no exterminator and we saw a few roaches, not palmetto bugs, and worms. Yuk ! Outdoors was unkempt, deck needs replacing, warped and green from moisture, Lawn places should have been weed wacked. Wouldn't take much to clean up but must not be a priority to owner. Two grills that were disgusting. Stairs to beach have nails popping up, should be replaced. The place has potential but needs to be cared for. Too Bad

Family vacation

A gorgous view of the ocean from the kitchen/dining area and deck out back. Sunrise was amazing with my morning coffee. We enjoyed our stay and the beach was like our own oasis most of the week. There was always something to see between the fish, dolphins, turtles, and land critters all week long. People activity picked up from the public beach access near by on the weekend and it was entertaining to watch the surfers. Long Point market store and Whitey's tackle shop are within walking distance. Ric and Gail provide a list with nearby activities, dining, places of interest, and suggestions with some witty humor. Ric, they won a couple of times. What a great location. Thank you.

Walk out, feet on beach

We enjoyed our stay at Iguana Azuz, however, we had some issues with pests and bugs inside the home throughout our stay. We contacted Rick and he was quick to react, but the bug issue is not a quick fix situation. The furniture is dirty and outdated. Make sure you bring your own beach gear and beach towels as well. There were barely enough towels to use for basic showering. The hot tub was nice! The surf was rough in the area and had to worry about riptides. Overall, we did have a nice time and enjoyed just walking out and sitting on the beach! With a lil bit more updating, cleaning and pest control, I would recommend Rick’s place.

Church women’s group

During our last meeting, our church's soul group and women's study group had the pleasure of staying at this absolutely stunning property. With a total of nine of us, the accommodation suited our needs perfectly. The view from the property was simply breathtaking and added to the overall experience. Throughout the night, we worshiped and shared testimonies, all while lounging on the world's most comfortable sofas. As the sun rose, we were able to witness God's grace in a truly remarkable way. Our host, Ric, was exceptional, making the check-in process a breeze. The space itself was incredibly cozy and provided all the amenities we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking a peaceful and memorable retreat. Needless to say, we are already looking forward to returning in the near future.
