Maybe you prefer an intimate, walkable riverfront town with easy access to the Indian River Lagoon. Sebastian's sail-worthy river teaming with local fish and a variety of plant and animal life is hard to find anywhere else in the Sunshine State. Or, you might feel cozier in the natural Florida of rural Fellsmere, a place where thousands of undeveloped acres and osprey nests outnumber people. Paddle through a grand forest of bald cypress trees and encounter bass fishermen who understand preservation is key to productive fishing grounds. Indian River County is a distinct destination. It’s dotted with thriving boutiques, hotels and rare, independent family-owned properties. Nationally known chain hotels are also part of the mix. The area offers 30+ overnight accommodations for all budgets and tastes, as well as a variety of independent vacation rentals and Airbnb stays.
