Chosen by Condé Nast Traveler as one of Floridas best Vacation Rentals for 2024.

Hibiscus House is a lovingly restored mid-century modern home just a 5 minute walk to a secluded stretch of beautiful beach. The interiors are a mix of modern and antique making a stylish and comfortable beach retreat. The layout is spacious and airy revolving around an open plan kitchen, dining and living area for a relaxed gathering space. The house sleeps six, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms in separate wings - so good for privacy. The studio also offers a dedicated home workcation space and the entire house has good high speed wifi. Set on a quarter acre property with lush Florida native landscaping the sound of the sea can be heard from the front porch.

Melbourne Beach is a gem - untouched by overdevelopment - Hibiscus House is within walking distance of its local beaches, shops, restaurants, and other amenities. The location allows easy access to all that the Space Coast has to offer kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, surfing, bird watching or just plain relaxing! The fact that it is a barrier island gives amazing opportunities to view Florida’s famous sunrises and sunsets. It a great place for bike riding as it is an old-fashioned quiet neighbourhood, Melbourne Beach Pier is a short cycle ride away - an excellent spot for fishing and sunsets. We are 15min drive to Melbourne International airport, 30 minutes to Vero Beach with Sebastian Inlet on the way, 45 minutes to Cape Canaveral and an hour and a half to Orlando airport, and all its many attractions,.


The Space:
Beach essentials are provided, chairs, towels, cooler and a small wagon to wheel it all.

There are two TV’s one in the living area and one in the studio room, both are smart TV’s where you can log into your favourite streaming services.

The kitchen is well stocked for those who love cooking and convenient with a microwave, dishwasher, and coffee machine tea and coffee are provided. There is also a washer dryer for your use.

We have a passion for textiles and invest in good quality. The queen beds are 100% linen bedding and the studio singles have 100% cotton. There are soft throws and plenty of pillows for curling up in. Sisal and woven rugs feature through the property.

The house retains many original features including wood parquet flooring throughout the main living space and two bedrooms, bathrooms with original 1950’s tiles and the tropical jalouse windows. Yet on top of the vintage we have new ceiling fans and air conditioning keep you cool!

The front porch has a casual seating area outside overlooking the lush tropical landscaping. The entrance walkway is lined by seashells found beachcombing locally and guests are welcome to contribute!

Other things to note:

We are Smoke Free and Pet Free – many of our returning guests and family have severe allergies and this is absolutely enforced. This is a quiet neighbourhood - no parties and no one but renters allowed on property. Quiet time after 9pm. Must be 25 or older to book with us. Stays of 28 days or longer will have a clean every two weeks. These cleanings will be charged at $100.

Paradise !
This house is incredible ! The decorating is professional and welcomes visitors warmly. We had a great time in Melbourne. The beach is minutes away so we watched the sunrise every morning we were there. The best part at the end of the day after exploring was coming home to our slice of Heaven. We will definitely be back !!

Spacious comfortable neighborhood house near the beach
We watched a rocket launch from the beach, sitting on beach chairs from the house! High end stove and washer/dryer. Issues were resolved promptly by the host. Kitchen could be better equipped with utensils (e.g., no vegetable peeler) and if you are someone who like to sleep really cold, you will be challenged as the AC doesn't have a cold effect in the bedroom, even with the door open. Overall, very positive experience.
