The Blue Fin Bungalow- Coastal Comfort & Beauty. 1 Block to the Beach -Sleeps 10

Come to experience the Space Coast at The Blue Fin Bungalow! A beautiful and unique home just caddy-corner from the beach with all the comforts of home. Open living and dining areas to spend time with family and friends, comfortable seating on the back porch to feel the beach breezes and a large yard to play games. Enjoy the wine and coffee bar complete with a mini fridge to keep your beverages cold, a Keurig coffee maker and microwave. Cook meals in the new kitchen. We have stocked it with baking and cooking utensils, pots, pans, bakeware and more. Watch cable on any one of the four smart televisions or surf the internet on the wifi. We also have a nice selection of board games and beach gear for you such as beach blankets, beach chairs, beach toys, and towels for your beach days and make the most of your stay.

Traveling with children? Please let me know. I have toys to keep them busy and baby items such as a pack and play a washtub and a jogging stroller. I have done my best to stock The Blue Fin Bungalow with any and everything you would need in your home away from home so that everyone can enjoy the home.

Four comfortable bedrooms await you at the Blue Fin Bungalow including two private suites with king-sized beds each, another private suite with a queen sized bed and a bunk room featuring two twin beds and a full sized bed. Updated bathrooms offer new vanities and plenty of places for your toiletries.

Grab your favorite drink and take the three -minute walk to the beach to watch spectacular sunrises and beautiful sunsets on the Atlantic ocean as well as rocket and space shuttle launches! Mosey back to rinse off in the outdoor shower and enjoy a game of foosball, or just relax a watch a movie on the big screen. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Indian Harbour Beach is a coastal community where you will find beautiful uncrowded sandy beaches, friendly people and lots to do. Minutes away from water sports, boating and fishing on the Indian and Banana Rivers and world-class surfing certain times of the year just our front of the house.

Get to the parks, Port Canaveral and The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in just one hour from our private retreat. Visit the specialty shops in the nearby towns of Viera and Melbourne. Try some of the local cuisine at some of our favorite restaurants, Goombays, DaKine Diegos, Squid Lips, or Too Cool Cafe. Or, if you are feeling frisky and are old enough to drink alcohol, Lous Blues or The Key West Bar can be fun and are all super close by. Explore all that Downtown Eau Gallie Arts District has to offer at the Foosaner Art Museum or try some of the best and most unique beer at the Intercoastal Brewery.

It is recommended that you have a car to get around since Florida is quite spread out, but there is public transport available with the bus system and UBER is also a safe and popular way to get around.

I look forward to hosting your stay!

A nice place on the Space Coast
Our accommodation was very nice and in a great location. The owner/property manager was very friendly and helpful. All six of us in our group agreed that this will be the place to stay on our next fishing trip to the Space Coast area.

Blue Fin Bungalow is ideal for families & beach time
Our family loved our stay at the Blue Fin Bungalow. It was ideal for our large family; we had plenty of space and beds. The owner, Tesi, was great about bringing over board games, a baby stroller, and beach toys. We also had a 3-in-1 game table. The home is beautifully decorated in beach themes which added to the coziness of it. The best part of our stay was the incredible communication and concern of Tesi. Through no fault of hers, we had an electrical outage which impacted the neighborhood for hours. Tesi was wonderful throughout the experience, including checking on us in person and lending us flashlights. She made things right about a situation that had been out of her control. In addition, she gave us numerous tips about area activities and dining. How blessed we were to have a vacation home owner who treated her guests like family! We definitely have plans to return to the Blue Fin. It is a very short walk to the beach & was truly a vacation. Thank you, Tesi & family.

Spring Break getaway
The Blue Fin bungalow was perfect for our Spring Break getaway to visit Florida grandparents. The many beach items, close proximity to the beach, and quiet neighborhood were a wonderful addition to a lovely home that was well-suited for our needs. Impromptu and informal family gatherings were easily managed in the open kitchen and living area. We would definitely consider staying at this home again.

Dog Friendly near the sea
Great host! Older home with updates, open plan, well located in low key beach area, relaxing. Screened porch a bonus (but could use some TLC). Nice park nearby, can view post rocket launches from the driveway!

Belated family Christmas
Our family of 6 plus one infant enjoyed our 8 day stay at this home. We walked to the beach every morning to watch the sunrise and look for seashells. We looked for crabs in the evenings. We enjoyed many activities in Melbourne, Port Canaveral, and Vero Beach. The grocery store was only 5 minutes away. Thus, making it very convenient to stock up the kitchen. Our family looks forward to returning next winter.

Great location!
We were only here for a short time due to an unexpected emergency back home, but we enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect - near lots of shops, restaurants and the beach. It also is not too far off I-95, which was important to us. The yard was perfect for our dog. House was well kept and had plenty of dishes, pots/pans, etc. Tessi was very responsive, which was much appreciated. We hope to be back for longer next time.

Fantastic Home away from Home
We enjoyed our stay at this location. You could easily walk to beach, which we did, but we drove if we were carrying along chairs, umbrella, etc. Lots of great places to eat. We tried several of the ones that they suggested and we weren't disappointed.

Less than ideal
I generally overlook a few negatives in a property in favor of the bigger picture, but in the case of this house, I feel I need to disclose the whole story. My family and I stayed here for 5 days including a 4 month old baby. The host asked that we please treat her house as if it was her own and I wholeheartedly agreed. However, I'm sure that at her house, the sheets are not threadbare, the pillows aren't flat, and the towels aren't fit to be rags to wash the car. The kitchen was also poorly stocked, skillets that should have been thrown in the trash a long time ago, dull knives, only 4 small coffee mugs for 6 adults, etc. Since we were traveling with a baby we had to do laundry every evening, this was difficult because there was no laundry basket. On the positive side, the house was close to the beach but be aware that there is no sidewalk on the house side of the main road. We were close to shopping and restaurants and to Orlando attractions. The Kennedy Space Center is only 45 minutes away. My entire party agreed that this house could be perfect if the host would get the small things right.
