This was our second stay at this property and I highly recommend it. The overall property is beautifully maintained and well equipped, making it easy to relax on the beach or fish. It is close to Sebastian Inlet for those who enjoy fishing and secluded so it’s easy to relax without neighbors being too close by. The owners, Gina and Rich, are super responsive to any needs. We will be visiting again in the future.

Beautiful, comfortable property and home.
Our large extended family with many children thoroughly enjoyed this property. The home actually had all of the items needed for a large group; lots of towels, large pots and pans for cooking, two refrigerators, outdoor toys and beach supplies, etc.
The pictures and descriptions are very accurate. Excellent place to stay for those with a large group.

Melbourne Beach
House and grounds were clean and attractive. One minor issue was a foul fish smell in one of the refrigerators but the owner took care of it immediately. Just one note: the inside closet door knob in the primary closet was parted for the door. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great beach rental property
Great property right on the beach with comfortable furnishings and rooms. We rented both sides and it is well laid out for 8 couples to spend weekend with plenty of showers and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space. Everyone commented on how great the house was for our weekend, no issues with anything other than we wish the propane fireplaces worked (although understand why they have been turned off).

Amazing!!!
It was perfect for our family - large enough to spread out and plenty of room to all be together also. Great beach supplies. The owners were so helpful with immediate communication and "hands-on" help! The beach is just down the steps which is super private. (The only warning is the no-see-um bugs - must have been their season - not the owners fault at all (even the exterminators said there is nothing to get rid of them) - just a warning to be prepared with some Skin So Soft - about the only thing we found to repel them.) We would definitely go back!

Marvelous Melbourne Beach property
We had a perfectly wonderful stay at this large and luxurious beach home. It was even better than the pictures! The living room was comfortable with a wide open view of the ocean. The kitchen was well-equipped with plenty of dinnerware and pots and pans. The house was clean and well designed. And the owner/property manager was so kind and responsive. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfect Location for a Perfect Vacation!
Our family of 8 adults and 9 children, aged 3 weeks to 7 years, enjoyed both sides of this property for a week in June. It was great having two kitchens and 2 living spaces for our group. The house is well equipped with everything you need including beach towels, plenty of comfortable beach chairs, and toys for the kids.
