Orchid Island Cottages

How nice is it when you go away for a quick vacation out of town and the place that you choose to stay at privately owned hotel. We arrived late, around 9pm after we stopped for dinner in Vero.
The Orchid Island Cottages are located on the beach side just off of A1A south of route 60. There are 3 buildings (duplexes) that surround a pool. Each unit is a 2 bedroom /​1 bathroom unit. They have a full living room, full kitchen a dining room and a porch with chairs on it. There are actually only 5 units available to stay in. The pool and the pool deck also has a gas BBQ available. We stayed here with our 2 boys while other friends has 3 of the other units (we were in Vero for a lacrosse tournament). It was nice, quiet and private.
Our unit was nice, clean and very functional. There was only 1 TV in the living room which I think they should upgrade along with adding a TV to at least the master bedroom. The master had only a queen bed while the 2^nd bedroom offered 2 full size beds. The beds were comfortable but the sheets were high quality & soft but should be replaced sometime soon (there were a couple of holes in one of the sheets).
I really enjoyed this place and we will not hesitate to stay here next time we are in town.

Orchid Island Cottages are just the way they sound, absolutely adorable! Located in Vero Beach, just minutes from the beach, Orchid Island Cottages consist of six two bedroom, 1 bath cottages. Each cottage has a kitchen, living room/​dining area. At 775 square feet, there is plenty of room to spread out.
Staying at the Orchid Island Cottages is kind of like staying at a friend’s house. It is homey and comfortable, but not too luxurious. The furnishings are simple, but comfortable. There is one television in the living room. The kitchen looks remodeled. It has everything you would need including cups, silverware, pots & pans. The only thing it did not have was a microwave.
The master bedroom has a queen size bed, a large chest of drawers, and a closet. The second bedroom had two twin beds and a very small chest. The mattress and linen were not high end, but were acceptable. It was really nice to have two bedrooms.
The worst part about the cottage was the bathroom. First of all, it was so tiny and there was hardly any room to my my toiletries. Second, the bathroom really just needs to be modernized. The tub is cracked, the water overflowed, and the old shower head sprayed water all over the place. I did appreciate all the towels, including beach towels available.
The grounds of the place are lovely. In the front is a pool. It is small but it was perfect for our group of four families and the many kids who were with us. There is also a barbecue by the pool that guest are welcome to use. The back of the cottages open up to a back yard with lots of trees. The 11 and 12 year old boys enjoyed played tag and hide & seek, running around the entire property.
Overall, this is a unique type of place to stay. At $ 150 a night, it was well priced, especially for all of the room we had. I just really recommend a bathroom renovation! However, if you want a place that is quiet with lots of room, and close to the beach, Orchid Island Cottages may be for you.
