Great place to unwind & watch sea turtles nesting!

Unit was very clean & stocked with many things not at other VRBO’s which makes a get away all that much easier. Felt very comfortable & relaxed immediately. You basically have a beach front property and share the beach with 2 other units in a nature preserve! Saw 4 turtles and 2 decided to nest where we could view from the deck. Other unit renters were very nice & helped us 2 senior women put up the umbrella each day. No maintenance issues. Loved the full size washer & dryer. Would definitely stay again & highly recommend!

awesome stay with views of sea turtles

WE were here a few years ago in the winter and heard that in the beginning of June the sea turtles would be laying their eggs on the beach....we were not disappointed!!! each morning when walking on the beech we could see trails from the sea turtles coming on the beach and large mounds near the dunes where they laid their eggs...one evening we were lucky enough to see a loggerhead sea turtle coming ashore!!!everything was really nice at the house, very clean and we had everything we needed.I'm sure we will be back again!

Serenity Cottage at the Beach in Melbourne Fl

Such a serene and bright dwelling only steps from the beach. My husband who is handicapped, enjoyed this stay as well, especially outside under the gazebo since he cannot get down to the beach. We brought portable grab bars for the toilet, and he had his own walker on wheels. The place was so well Equipped with everything we needed except our own clothing and food. Being able to park right outside the cottage was so helpful as we are both over 70. Our daughter came along to help us and enjoy as well. The view from the cottage from dawn until night was spectacular. We plan on returning!

Great place! Perfect for a quiet beach getaway.

We have stayed at this property several times and always love it. The place is extremely clean, neat and tidy, especially for a beach condo where it would be easy to let things get dirty, sandy or run down. The kitchen, bathroom, and laundry are well supplied with the essentials. The location may not be for everyone - we love it as it is very quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle, and with turtle considerations there are restrictions on late-night activities, light and noise. The beach is nearly deserted. Restaurants and shops are a bit of a drive. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this place is ideal. If you want more typical activities of a beach town, maybe look for something less remote.

A piece of paradise on Melbourne Beach

We have stayed in several VRBO's on the beach in the past 2 years. We all most gave up until we stayed in this VRBO. It was so clean and the location is perfect. What really stuck out for us is how accommodating Dean and Patricia are with their guests. They were so easy to contact when needed. They have the place supplied with all the needed essentials for staying in a VRBO and especially staying on the beach. We would stay here again in a heart beat!!!!!! The place is lovely.
