I can't say enough nice things about this lovely home. We stayed here for the month of February. The owner has supplied it with everything and more that one could possibly want in a vacation rental. Condiments, laundy supplies, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, etc. Nice pots and pans (this is unusual), plenty of towels and washcloths. The owner was always prompt and easy to communicate with. We loved sitting on the front porch, as it is always shady in the afternoon and evening.
Regarding Melbourne, what a sweet downtown with lots of shops and restaurants. The home is just one block off the main road. We walked everywhere. Backwater was our favorite for breakfast, though new restaurant Harvest Thyme was a close second. We saw great plays at both the Civic Theatre and the Henegar Center. Visited the zoo, attended the strawberry festival, and walked a number of wildlife refuges and gardens. Biked at Melbourne Beach where there are miles and miles of paths along A1A.
We highly recommend this home if you are ever in the Melbourne area.
