My family has been vacationing in the Melbourne Beach area for almost 20 years. I don’t know how we hadn’t found this home before now! It has everything you could wish for. The firepit, outdoor shower, and pool were huge benefits. The kitchen is to die for with 2 ovens and 2 sinks. Who wants to cook on vacation, but this kitchen made it a breeze to heat up the food we brought.
The only things to think about are:
1) The stairs to get to the second floor, where the majority of the bedrooms are, is a steep spiral staircase. There is an outdoor staircase up to the balcony where you can enter through sliding doors. This wasn’t a problem, but if you’re unsteady, it’s just something to consider.
2) The home is right next to another rental. It was not a problem for us, although on our last evening, the neighbors were playing football into our back yard, lol. Our stay was very peaceful overall! But you will be sharing the beach with whoever is staying there.
Take some bug spray for the no see-ums. That’s just the beach in Florida, folks. The yard is fabulous, though! We played volleyball and relaxed in the hammocks. The entire home was very comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. No one wanted to leave! Truly a wonderful place to stay and we definitely want to go back!
