So you’re on the hunt for a vacation for your group that’s more than just a place to crash. You want a getaway with a story, a soul—something that’ll make everybody's jaw drop and give you memories to talk about for years. You’re tired of the same old hotels and predictable rentals. You need a spot that’s equal parts adventure, relaxation, and history. But where do you find a place like that? A Property with a Legendary Past Cue your discovery of this incredible 8-bedroom estate on Merritt Island, Florida—a home that started as a raging dumpster fire when I snapped it up in 2020. Everyone told me to walk away or bulldoze it flat. It was a wreck, barely standing, a shadow of its former self. But during some light demo to see if it was worth saving, we hit the jackpot: old shoes, rum bottles, tobacco tins, and rusted pocketknives stashed inside the walls. Suddenly, it wasn’t just a house—it was a treasure trove of cool old antiques that nobody had seen for over 100 years.  I had heard of homes in the area being used by bootleggers of the Prohibition era for rum-runners hauling illegal liquor up the coast.  I am no archaeologist, so I didn't know one way or another, but I did know we couldn’t tear it down. The legend was too cool, and inspired me to do some background research on the home.   Built in the 1920s and expanded over the decades into the sprawling estate you see today, this place has history baked into its bones. Back during Prohibition (1920-1933), when the U.S. banned alcohol, Florida became a smuggling hotspot. Merritt Island, tucked along the Indian River with its secluded shores and easy access to the Bahamas and Cuba, was prime real estate for rum-runners. These guys—like the legendary Bill McCoy, who smuggled top-shelf liquor up the East Coast—dodged the Feds in speedy boats, stashing their hauls in hidden spots like this one. The rum bottles we found? Likely remnants of McCoy’s stock or something just as illicit. And those shoes? Smugglers sometimes hollowed them out to hide small batches of booze. The tobacco tins and knives? Personal effects of the rough-and-tumble crew who crashed here to unwind before the grueling trip north to cities like Jacksonville or Savannah for points northward. A Luxurious Retreat with a Storied Past Fast forward to today: we’ve transformed this bootlegger’s lair into a luxurious family retreat that honors its wild past while delivering modern comfort. Here’s what’s waiting for you: A heated pool kept at a perfect 85°F year-round, shaded by ancient trees—ideal for a refreshing dip. Two fully-equipped kitchens, making it easy to cook up meals that bring everyone together. An outdoor living paradise with a fireplace, TV, and pergolas draped in sheer curtains that sway in the breeze. Plus, an outdoor kitchen and a custom firepit for unforgettable evenings. A hidden hammock hut for quiet moments with a book or a nap. Eight bedrooms and five full bathrooms, including a first-floor master with private entry and a separate apartment above the garage, ensuring everyone has their own space. Prime location on Merritt Island, just minutes from Cocoa Beach and the Kennedy Space Center, with front-row views of rocket launches and stunning sunsets over the Indian River. Step Into the Legend This isn’t just a rental—it’s a time machine, a hideaway, and a family bonding spot all in one. Book your stay and dive into a getaway where you’re not just a guest, but part of a century-old story. Whether you’re chasing history, craving relaxation, or eager to witness a rocket blast off, this retreat delivers it all. Pack your bags, leave the ordinary behind, and come live the legend. Memories Forged in History Once you arrive, the magic takes over. Days blur into poolside lounging, the rustle of leaves and the tang of saltwater filling the air. Nights come alive around the firepit, where firelight and fairy lights set the scene for marshmallow roasts and tales of rum-runners. You’ll sink into the outdoor living room, the fireplace crackling as sheer curtains sway like whispers from the past. Or you’ll escape to the hammock hut, letting the world fade away. Every creak of the floorboards feels like a nod to the bootleggers who once called this place home. By the time you leave, you’ll carry more than a vacation—you’ll have a piece of history and a story that’s now yours. \*\*Rental Agreement: Must sign electronic guest agreement (guest agreement reflects the same 'house rules' & agreements provided below) & provide ID within 48 hours of booking (or immediately if arrival is within 48 hours).

Definitely, would recommend this property if you are planning to be anywhere near the space coast. Host was super responsive and ready to answer any question or address any need. Bonus no clean up required, just pack and go. So refreshing. We'll be back ##### Jim V. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana M.

Overall a very spacious house, I loved the big kitchen table where we spent most of our time. Lovely outside area with the pool and swings under the trees. Everything in the house is in working order, lots of towels and extra linen. The additional kitchen with a second fridge/freezer came in very handy (we were 15 people). The livingroom area is also very cozy, with a great flat-screen TV. We had a wonderful time. ##### Patrick D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry R.

Several large tables that allowed for family dinner conversation and gaming. Owner and manager very responsive. Communication was immediate and helpful.

House was exactly as described and clean. We came here for a men’s adult softball Worlds tournament and fit our whole team perfectly. Plus enough bathroom everyone could get ready at the same time. Huge plus for the ladies, haha! 2 kitchen and the most amazing back yard ever! ##### Brandie S. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sierra S.

Everything was well stocked, the pool felt amazing and kept the kids busy. We really enjoyed the back yard space to grill out and the next door neighbor was very friendly! Tim was very responsive and quick to address anything we asked. The house is very spacious and all the beds we’re comfortable. The shower and water pressure was great. All the appliances worked wonderful. No complaints at all and will definitely stay here again if we travel this way in the future! Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us! ##### Sierra S.

We had an amazing time! The house is beautiful and has so much room! The pool was great, the backyard was huge and so relaxing! The beds were comfy, everything was clean and well stocked. It actually has 2 kitchens (both nice sized) which would be convenient if you have multiple families bringing food and/or cooking. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. From the get-go Tim was such a gracious host! He checked in with us several times to make sure we were enjoying our stay. My only regret is that I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back, hopefully for a longer stay next time. ##### Gina S. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie P. Aug 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Making Wonderful Memories Although our trip to Merritt Island was to attend a funeral for our Aunt Sue Head our choice in the VRBO property was OUTSTANDING!! The property is all that it said it was and MORE. Our family had the ability to be together and YET we each had our own space when we needed it. The backyard had everything that someone could ask for swimming in the private pool, cooking, sunning, watching TV or swinging. It was wonderful. The inside of the home was even better with bedrooms and bathrooms galore. There was no need for waiting in line for a bathroom. The kitchen was fully equipped oh did I mention BOTH kitchens. Yes, with the number of family members we had we needed both kitchens. This wasn't just a house it felt like a home to us, believe me we will be back. A special 'thank you' to Cassidy who is a member of the Property Management Team. She responded to all of my texts quickly and provided us with such care during our stay. As a side note Cassidy became my sister's best friend...my sister Cheryl ALWAYS travels with her favorite well-seasoned cast iron skillet (she makes the most wonderful breakfast meals that we all enjoy!!!). Cheryl left her skillet when we left the home. Cassidy was kind enough to go to the house, find the skillet, and then meet me the following week so I could deliver it to GA where Cheryl was anxiously awaiting its arrival. Thank you to Tim (home owner) and his daughters for having such a fantastic home that they share thru VRBO. Debbie ##### Debbie P.
