About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Poolside Retreat 100 steps to the OCEAN Pet Friendly NO SMOKING

This is an ideal getaway for a couple or single person. 100Ft from the Atlantic ocean and 8Ft from the pool. This is the ground floor unit of a 3 story private home. Owners occupy top floors . Our goal is to provide you with quiet and relaxing vacation. We strive to respect your privacy while being close enough to attend to any of your needs. There may be a chance you will be sharing the pool area with other guest or the owners.
You will most likely be greeted by our Border Collie Jax. Just pick up a frisbee and he will be your best friend!

2 Bicycles are for your use
PETS WILL BE CONSIDERED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Please call or email me to discuss your fur baby. PETS MUST BE APPROVED before stay.
We are a NO SMOKING property. This includes around the pool or anywhere on the property.

Although common areas are shared with the owners & their guests, we ask that guests respect each other’s space in the backyard & pool area when commonly using it. All guests will have full access to shared pool, lounge area and yard. We do strive to maintain a relaxing & tranquil atmosphere. There will be times when you may have these areas completely to yourselves.

Owners reside on property with our Border Collie, Jax.
We have a large fenced yard for Jax and his new friends to play.

Because of security and insurance reasons we can only have registered guests on the property.

This will be our get away stay from now on. Jax the dog was so much fun. Jen and Bill are awesome. The yard made you fill like you were in Hawaii. Very private and just across A1A a private entrance to the beach. Publix is just a few miles south of property. Can't wait to bring our friends. Bring P&B doggie treats for Jax, they are his favorite. And maybe you'll get to meet Layla his little cousin, a black/white Border collie who is so sweet.
Play time!

Felt like home

Jen, Bill, and Jax made us feel very welcomed from the start and were very accommodating! The pool area was beautiful, quiet, and very relaxing. The beach was just a short walk across A1A with very few people! Overall a very nice vacation.

Lovely and Relaxing

We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment door is adjacent to the outdoor area with the pool. We loved sitting on the porch. The beach is across the street. It was a nice getaway to relax and unwind. Jen is very sweet.

Anniversary Getaway

We chose this location for the relaxing pool, outdoor area and close proximity to beach. It didn’t disappoint. We found ourselves relaxing poolside, on the porch then in the evening enjoying the fire pit. You must be a dog lover, as the owners do have a friendly border collie named Jax. Can’t wait to go back.

Precious little beach house

We were pleasantly surprised by the well-equipped and immaculate little vrbo. We met with the owners, Jen & Bill, just once and they were extremely helpful. Unfortunately the cool weather did not allow us to enjoy the pool or the nearby beach. This little jewel served our purposes perfectly!

Wonderful location and very gracious hosts

Everything was great, the only thing that was an issue was it was a little warm inside the rental. No thermostat in the bungalow and we ended up sweating away in the night. But a beautiful home and very friendly hone owners.

Fantastic Property

What an incredible experience! This retreat is truly a five star gem. The pool area, nestled amidst lush tropical landscaping, exudes a luxurious resort-like atmosphere. The ground floor unit was impeccably clean with top notch linens and a cozy queen bed. Communication with the owners was outstanding ; they were simply fantastic people who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. And who could forget Jax the resident border collie who we enjoyed playing frisbee with.. This retreat exceeded all expectations and provided an unforgettable weekend!

Quick getaway

Jen was the best hostess we’ve ever had in the many vrbo rentals we’ve enjoyed. We couldn’t get enough of the layout of their beautiful back yard. Jax was a wonderfully sweet fur baby we enjoyed playing with, and my husband enjoyed some great conversations with Billy. We were very cozy in our private home away from home, and everything needed was there for us to enjoy. There really is no better place across the street from the ocean than their home. I’m a convert…I used to always to stay oceanfront. No more. The quiet, quaint feel of their home will make you wish it was yours. Cheers!

Jen and Billy were very sweet! They gave us great recommendations about places to dine!

Property was wonderful! Hosts were great! I just wish there was a thermostat in unit that would enable us to control temperature! Jen gave us recommendations for everything in the area! She even advised us best times to see turtles laying and hatchlings and she was right on the money! We saw one hatchling on their way to sea and a momma crossed our path on her way after laying! Truly amazing! Would definitely recommend to stay with these wonderful people!!

Perfect getaway

From the moment we arrived, the hosts (Jennifer and Bill) were friendly, helpful and extremely accommodating. Bill filled the bike tires with air and away we went (Jennifer gave us some bike route options). Afterwards we swam in the pool and relaxed with a a couple complimentary beverages in the outside fridge. I had a great time playing with their dog Jax who loved Tug a War. I won’t even look for another property next time. This will be our place when we want to visit Melbourne Beach area

wonderful!

I have been all over the place! I rented this place because it was so close to the beach! Didn't need the beach? The pool was great! The doggy friends made us miss ours a little less! I will be back for sure. My family in Melbourne loved the property so much! They came for lunch most days becuase my Dad had radiation in the afternoons. The owners are wonderful people! They accommodated our daughter at the last minute so she could see her sick grandfather. There is lots of shade and sun to enjoy around that wonderful pool. We enjoyed every minute while staying at this property. The stores are very close. Just picked up what we needed when we wanted. I would recommend this property to anyone! Thanks to Jen, Bill and our doggy friends:)
