Sandpiper Suite 1: Find Serenity on private Melbourne Beach - Oceanfront style

Enjoy an uncrowded private beach with fresh ocean air breezes along with a dose of vitamin D sunshine to help cure the doldrums of social distancing.
The Sandpiper suite is one of three units on the property, depending on the size of your group and availability it possible to book 1, 2, or 3 units. (each individually listed) Sea Turtle unit 2: 1814158 and Sea Owl unit 3: 1814356. If you book all three, you could have oceanfront comfort for at least 12 people.
This newly renovated beautiful, quiet 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom beachfront suite has everything you need for a romantic getaway, perfect family vacation or warm retreat from winter. Only steps away from the warm sand, ocean and the sea turtles, the property has a backyard and deck with your own private beach. "Serenity Beach" is situated on a half acre in a very quiet and secluded spot in Melbourne Beach.
Start your morning with a great breakfast in fully equipped kitchen with the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean sunrise and spend the days relaxing by the sea or surfing. Sip your coffee or favorite beverage as you relax to the sounds of the ocean waves and pelicans flying over head.
"Serenity Beach" located in the heart of Archie Carr National Wild Life Refuge. Every year these beaches are nesting grounds for thousands of loggerhead, green, and leatherback turtles. It is one of the few places in the world where all three species lay their eggs. There are more than 140 species of birds, the refuge is a stop over for many migratory birds. From the deck it is possible to spot dolphins, whales and tarpon.
This location is amazing with nature all around and yet you are less than 2 hours from all the Orlando theme parks, 35 miles to Kennedy Space Center, and 30 miles to cruise ship center at Port Canaveral. Publix supermarket is 2 miles away and there are plenty restaurants, bars, shops, surf shops, boat rentals, state parks, golf, tennis and bike shops all with in 15 minutes drive.
The backyard has a great paver pathway and patio with tiki hut, with expansive ocean views. We also have a charcoal and gas bbq grills. Spend your evening sitting and sipping your favorite drink, while listening to the sounds of the waves.
We use CDC guidelines to ready and disinfect the suite with special attention to high touch areas like door knobs, counter tops, light switches and chairs. We also have antiviral and antibacterial disinfectants like Lysol under the sink for your personal use during your stay. We also utilize self check-in and check-out with no person to person contact.
We are dog friendly and love traveling with our dogs also. We allow dogs for $100 fee up to 2 dogs. Always use a leash, pick up, respect neighbors. County ordinance does not allow dogs on the beach.

A piece of paradise on Melbourne Beach
We have stayed in several VRBO's on the beach in the past 2 years. We all most gave up until we stayed in this VRBO. It was so clean and the location is perfect. What really stuck out for us is how accommodating Dean and Patricia are with their guests. They were so easy to contact when needed. They have the place supplied with all the needed essentials for staying in a VRBO and especially staying on the beach. We would stay here again in a heart beat!!!!!! The place is lovely.

I really enjoyed staying at Serenity Beach. My husband caught a large pompano and several bluefish. The last day was unfishable due to weather so my daughter and her 2 children came to stay at the beach with me. Luckily it cleared up and we were able to enjoy the beach in the late afternoon. Beautiful place to stay with everything you’d need. Loved the private back yard area!

Really nice property with great amenities. Supplied with umbrellas and chairs to take advantage of the terrific beachfront. From the backyard deck we were able to see the giant sea turtles late at night lay their eggs in the sand without disturbing them. Would definitely come back again!

Amazing Beachfront Property
To say this was a well stocked property, would be an understatement. They had everything and more. Having the beach just a staircase away was great. The beach wasn’t overcrowded. Just a few other families on vacation. The location was perfect for our needs. Please understand that Melbourne Beach isn’t your typical touristy area. The main focus is the ocean. This is a property where you are meant to go to the beach. While we were there we saw dolphins, turtles, little lizards and my husband and son said the saw a small bill shark. Overall we will stay again.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The property is clean and really well equipped with every to make you comfortable. I wouldn’t describe this as a 5 star resort but it is a well appointed house that comes with everything you need for the week- k cups for coffee, 3 different coffee makers, toiletries, bug spray, beach chairs, umbrellas and so much more. The beach is private and the sunrise spectacular from the front bedroom. We’re only sorry we can’t book next year! At least not yet!!

Property is located on the beach. It’s nice to walk out your back door and be on the beach. Beach chairs and towels are provided. The unit is nice looks just like pictures on Expedia. We used both the heat and a/c during our stay, which both worked great. Unit has full kitchen and wash and dryer in unit. Makes it easy to warm up leftovers and do laundry before we left. Beds are a little firm, which I like. My wife prefers the pillow top beds. We brought our bikes to ride on the bike/walking path on A1A. We biked to Publix which is about 2 miles away. No restaurants are in walking distance, but just a short 5-10min drive away. I would recommend anyone to stay here if you are looking for a quite beach community. I prefer staying here than at a hotel on the beach.

Simply amazing!
My husband and our 11 month old Bernedoodle thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was so quaint and quiet plus had everything we needed plus some. We loved how convenient it was to restaurants, the grocery store and the university. Sadly the weather didn’t cooperate and afford us much time on the beach but had we been able to Dean made sure we would have been well prepared to do so with the beach bag, yeti cooler, and beach chairs that were conveniently located in or on the property for his guests to use. This place is top notch which is a reflection of Dean and the lengths he goes to to ensure his guests are beyond taken care of. We’ve never stayed at a VRBO (and we’ve stayed at several) where the property owner was so attentive to their guests without being intrusive. The bottom line is Dean and his bungalow were beyond compare and we will definitely return again in the future. Thank you for everything, Dean!
