Local staycation was a success in an area accessible to all stores, near the river, and the house was clean, adorably decorated, well stocked, and comfort.
The place was cozy, hosts were very thoughtful and always responsive. The house was well equipped with outdoor space and minutes walk to the river. Will stay again!
Great sight centrally located to our visit in a quiet neighborhood, with everything we needed. Loved having the washer and dryer available for use! Great host communication
We were amazed by the great location and comfort of this cozy home. We had an easy walk along the river just out our front door. The home has a spacious, well-appointed, fenced in back yard that was perfect for our dog to play and great for us to hang out in. Minutes from shopping, dining and a short drive to the beach. Highly recommend!
We had a great time staying at the house while touring Florida Tech with my graduate student. Perfectly located, super quiet street & cute, clean house! Loved the close proximity to everything. Thank you ~ we look forward to visiting again!
I came here for a little getaway by myself and absolutely loved it. The house was so cute, clean, and comfortable. The hosts were responsive and checked in to see if I needed anything. I would definitely stay here again. The only negative was the train horns but nothing they can do about that.
Charming cottage is the right summary for this location
Very nice and relaxing. The House has been modernized in a very charming way. It keeps the old style of the area near the River , but is well equiped with air con and a good kitchen.
Very quite (exept the train passing near by from time to time) and close to the City Center with very good restaurants. The beach is close and also very beautiful.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
Enjoyed my stay. Beautifully decorated with a "Keys" theme. Pups loved the back yard lots of room to run around and play. Met the owner we watched our three pups play. Sandy and Sonic gave the area two paws up. Ocean air, gentle breeze off the beaten path. Pedro and Laurie are great hosts helping me with any question I had. If you would like a quiet relaxing get away you have found it.
Our arrival time was in the middle of the night, the owner had left the lights on making the home easy to find and feeling very comfortable. Home was decorated in a south Florida vibe that was fun and relaxing. Thank you Pedro
Very cozy, hosts were super available - I didn’t have any issues, I just let them know when I arrived and left. I also inquired about extending my stay and I wound up not needing to but the y responded immediately. Great spot. Beds were comfy, AC frosty, it was great! Thanks!
We enjoyed a short stay. Very cute and charming cottage. Owners were very responsive with questions. Easy checkin/checkout. Very clean and comfortable. Note this property is not on the river, which was kind of confusing due to some of the photos on the listing. You can take a short walk around the block which is nice but there is no river access (private property.) we took a day trip over the bridge and had. Really nice day on Indiatlantic beach.
It is a cute little bungalow that fit our needs. We were in town for a single night and needed a place to bed down. The spot is great, just a block off the inter coastal and a block off US1. Plenty of eateries close by. We took in Aunt Loiuse's Italian place up the road a bit closer to our appointed destination...a new puppy we took home the next morning!!!
It was clean and the hosts were very nice before and during the stay. I would definitely book again if the need arises.
Thanks,
We needed a place to stay for a short 3 day work assignment. We decided to try VRBO as hotels/motels are a hassle.
Melwood Cottage will absolutely not disappoint! Very tastefully decorated, very interesting books to read from local history to herbal gardening, surfing, etc.
It is plenty roomy, very fresh and clean in a very quiet neighborhood.
The kitchen is well appointed with utensils, cookware, all the basics plus extras.
The main bed was comfortable and there is also a second bedroom with a day bed but we did not use that room.
It is nice that they allow you to use the laundry although we did not need to.
Don't hesitate or wait to book if you want a very charming home away from home get away!

Comfortable small house for a getaway
The house was neat and clean, easy to access. We enjoyed everything about it with the exception of the missing river views. The listing indicating “outdoor dining” with river views was deceptive and was a big reason we chose the house. Our family enjoys dropping a kayak in the river in the evening, sitting out and watching the kids paddle around and despite requesting information about the suitability for this, there was no confirmation or denial that it would work. It turns out, you can’t see the river and going to the area pictured in the listing seems invasive to the home in the front of the property. It just wasn’t what we expected from the listing. Otherwise, the house was fine - clean, well stocked, and worked for sleeping. We enjoyed the beaches nearby.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is so cute and feels like home. We had absolutely no complaints at all. Would definitely stay again.
