This was the perfect getaway for my husband and myself. The location is out of the tourist area but close to many beaches and wonderful things to do. The accommodations were clean, comfortable while providing a pool and beautiful outdoor area for guests use. Would stay there again anytime

Great Stay

What a nice spot to stay in Melbourne Beach! The property is quiet, pretty, and well located for walks and the beach. Sitting under the veranda by the pool each morning sipping coffee and looking at the garden was wonderful. Hosts are really great.

We liked the quiet and enjoyed the beach and nature parks, but the place needs a deep cleaning, especially the light fixtures. The host was super responsive and helpful.

Our stay was lovely. The apartment is just perfect for 2 people. Very comfortable and clean. The backyard allows for quiet time for reading (or napping) while surrounded by tropical trees and bushes. Our host was wonderful, quiet, and there if needed!! Thank you so much, Martyn!!!

Pleasant experience

The apartment and grounds are charming, private, quiet, and peaceful. We very much enjoyed meeting and talking with our excellent host, Martyn. The Wi-Fi worked well, and we were even able to host a Zoom meeting one evening. Enjoyed being just across A1A from the ocean that's accessed via a well maintained trail through the sea grapes and pepper trees leading to the beach. Look forward to staying there again!

Very nice room.

We were in Melbourne Beach for a conference being held at the Hilton Melbourne Beach. The weather wasn’t great we couldn’t take advantage of the nice outdoor space. We were gone all day and only slept there at night. The bed was very comfortable!

Love this property

2024 is the 3rd year we have stayed at this property and booked for 2025 already. The apartment is perfect for 2 people. The property offers outdoor privacy in a very natural setting with trees, plants and green foliage providing a very tropical feel. I enjoy walking and find there are walking paths/trails nearby which is perfect. Our host, Martyn, is very kind and is available for assistance, if needed. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Oasis Beach Hideaway

The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. Martin, the property owner, was friendly, professional, and approachable, making us feel right at home. The property features a beautiful and serene tropical garden with a private pool, ideal for swimming and relaxation. The interior of the home was impeccably maintained, stylish, and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect for us, tucked away in nature and offering a peaceful retreat. It was just a short drive to restaurants and attractions, and a quick walk to the beach, allowing for easy exploration regardless of the weather. Overall, it truly felt like a home away from home. Brilliant.

Nice vacation spot

I would likely stay here again but the information online was not accurate. The pictures are deceiving - the bar area is used to contain garden products and the area at the other end of the pool is not usable.a So the barbecue is old and rusty.The room itself was very clean and had everything we needed.Martyn was always available if we needed him.

Wow just wow

From being greeted by the host when we arrived, a little tour of the house, and meeting their adorable pet, it was great! Martyn told us of a quiet beach just 500 yards away, we went almost daily and almost had the beach to ourselves, when it got a little hot and uncomfortable we were able to go back to the VRBO and hang out by the beautiful pool. The hosts were fantastic and only saw them briefly! But we did text them to find a place for dinner and their recommendations were spot on! The location was fantastic, the “apartment” was a perfect size, clean, quiet and so peaceful, relaxing, lush and green! A perfect vacation destination! Thank you Martyn and Linda!!!
