About this property

A sea of tranquility in a charming neighbourhood with a secluded local beach.

  • We were honored to be listed by Condé Nast Traveller as one of Florida's Best vacation rentals 2025/26.
    Stylish and relaxing, Hibiscus House is a mid-century modern home just a 5-minute walk to a secluded stretch of beautiful beach. The interiors are an eclectic mix of modern and vintage with a stylish beach vibe.

    The layout is spacious and airy revolving around an open plan kitchen, dining and living area for a relaxed gathering space. The three bedrooms and bathrooms are in separate wings which gives lots of privacy. The house sleeps six, with two queen and two single beds. There is also has a dedicated workcation space and the entire house has good high-speed Wi-Fi.

    Set on a quarter acre property with lush Florida native landscaping the sound of ocean waves 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 neighborhood, 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. Two adult bicycles for guests are available.

    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 favorite 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!
