Beautiful Property for short or long stay

Lovely place for our family to stay for a month. Easy drive to beaches, parks, and the treasure coast. Layout makes it easier to have alone spaces than I would’ve thought, which was helpful. Host was gracious and always available for communication. Special touches absolutely made it delightful.

Charming & Immaculate Cottage

Loaded with personality, this beautiful 1920s cottage welcomes you with all the comforts of home. Super clean and well stocked with everything you need. Owners were very communicative and provided an informative book to answer any questions you may have. We loved the outside sitting areas especially the front porch for viewing the sunrise. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, and quiet rental to rest and restore, this is the place for you.

Vacation

We had a great visit. First time to Melbourne. Unfortunately you need to drive most places. We like where you can walk from our rental. Our house was very clean and lots of little added touches like flowers, treats for us and our dog. We had a nice relaxing time.Thank you.

I was completely charmed

When we arrived it was all set up for Christmas. Music was playing, the tree lights were on and there was a fresh flower centerpiece on the table. It's set up a little quirky, but charming just the same. We all loved the hidden room! The patio area is so peaceful and relaxing to sit in. The dogs loved it as much as we did!My dogs loved it evet bit as much as we did!

Great stay!

We booked this cute cottage for our family to spend 4th of July by the beach! It had everything we could possibly need and then some. It was very cute and the welcome snacks were a bonus, the kids loved them!! The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Not only is this place great for families to enjoy, but also a great place to bring your dog! He loved the outdoor space and the treats!! The location was convenient, we could get anywhere we wanted to go within 15 minutes. This cottage was perfect for our stay and we had an amazing time!! We will definitely be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Kara

I grew up in Melbourne, Florida. There is no where I would rather be - when I'm not traveling - than at home in Brevard County. I love the laid back atmosphere, the relaxed pace of beach living, and being a regular at The Cottage Irish Pub. :)

I bought this house not knowing my future husband lived right down the street. Now we live together, travel together, and invite others to experience the warm magic of this cozy cottage. I think she holds enough charm for everyone and that you will love this space as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is perfectly placed between the two downtown districts of Melbourne and Eau Gallie on the mainland, with causeways leading directly to the ocean within minutes.

What makes this property unique

Our house is incredibly versatile. Got kids? Bring a ball and glove or a football and use our spacious front yard for fun and games. Looking for quiet time? Simply close the door to create a peaceful haven - just you, books, comfy places to curl up, and your favorite bottle of wine. We have wi-fi and a smart TV when you want to be connected, but we think you'll want to lose yourself in the comfortable spaces of the cottage.
