Amazing property and location! We love this area of Florida and we really loved where this home was located. Everything was easy and accessible. The house was huge and we had plenty of space. My only ask is to add a few bedroom tvs!!! If you have a large group, you gotta check out this spot for your next Space Coast adventure! ##### Shannon L.

It was a Beautiful house with a main level master bedroom which was perfect for him. The pool and beach were lovely. I would recommend providing a grill, floats for the backyard pool and more dishwashing and laundry detergent. There were no extra blankets in the house and the air conditioning tended to be on the cool side even when the temperature was adjusted. Overall our stay was enjoyable. Plenty of room for our family. Thank you. ##### Janice P. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen A. 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First time to Melbourne Beach This house was roomy and had everything we needed. The master bedroom mattress is an adjustable bed that raises up/down which is a nice concept, but the mattress was a little uncomfortable where the mattress bends, you can feel that worn place on your back when laying down. We did have issues with the dryer upstairs- dried clothes for hours and it never would dry the clothes. They sent a repairman but he didnt do anything to fix it besides empty the lint trap. Hopefully the dryer gets replaced. Luckily there is a smaller stackable washer-dryer downstairs that was sufficient for our needs but would have been nice to have a larger dryer that worked. Private pool was very nice, we enjoyed that alot. The walk to the beach took us about 8 minutes lugging all of our beach gear. The beach itself was not very crowded so we were pleased about that. There are about 5 beach chairs at the house and several boogie boards available to use which was a nice surprise. Overall it was a very relaxing, fun vacation in spite of these small issues. We loved that our party of 11 could spread out and have their own space! ##### Kristen A. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hw constantin N. 20 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property and nice beach access, but… Beautiful house, but some problems. Air conditioning issues. Not enough pots and pans, but enough silver ware for 5 houses. Pool heating on a timer, so it really isn’t warm but for an hour or 2\. Houses very close together, thus if you have noisy neighbors, you can hear everything. It was our 2nd year in the community, each year in a different house. Both years we had air conditioning and pool issues. Each year our house was beautiful and well layed out, but the hassle of the air conditioning and pool makes it not a viable option for future stays. ##### Hw constantin N.
