Short and Sweet
Posted Oct. 13, 2024 on HomeAwayOnly stayed one night. Arrived just before the approaching Hurricane Milton and had to leave. The Host and VRBO were more than helpful at relocating us to Savannah, Ga. Teeby Island home on the beach. We also were completely refunded. Outstanding service.

Bill and Family,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We have many favorable reviews speaking directly about the vacation experience: food, beach and local activities enjoyed during the stay.
This review will jump to an all time favorite and most important. When a crisis occurs we all hope and expect the “right thing” will happen and the best possible outcome will result.
VRBO stepped up as a traveler partner and I’m thankful we all worked together to make the situation whole.
I’d say it’s a win win, but unfortunately you missed out on a great stay. We do hope you will have the opportunity to experience our beautiful home and beach the next time your travels bring you to the Space Coast- much to see and do.
Safe travels,
Julia

Wonderful Escape to Paradise
Posted Aug. 26, 2024 on HomeAwayThis was our first time in Melbourne beach and we quickly fell in love. The cottage was perfect for our family of four adults and one dog -- plenty of common space to enjoy but also plenty of areas for quiet when needed. We were extremely comfortable from the start. The house was thoughtfully outfitted with anything we could possibly need for our stay. The pictures don't do it justice! The backyard is a paradise in and of itself. The landscaping is tropical and lush, exuding an atmosphere of privacy and escape. The outdoor shower is a treat and we barely used the indoor one the entire week! The access to the beach is outstanding. It was wonderful that leashed dogs are welcome on the beach as we've stayed in other areas where we could not bring our dogs onto the sand. Our Bernese Mountain dog loved his early morning walks and joining us on the shore when the heat of the day died down. We were lucky enough to witness several baby sea turtles making their pilgrimage from their nest to the waves. We never saw the adult females but we saw their tracks to and from the ocean. We made plenty of use of the two bikes provided, enjoying the wide bike path along A1A along with local parks. Despite lots of research and plans for day trips, we loved the place so much we never went more than a few miles for food or supplies. Julia was a terrific and accommodating host and quickly responded to any questions both prior to and during our stay. We can't wait to return!

Hidden Gem
Posted Jul. 25, 2024 on HomeAwayFantastic low key place to stay. We appreciated the layout of the house which gave everyone opportunity to come together or chill on their own. Great place for dogs to run around. Access to the beach was amazing

OLD FLORIDA AT ITS BEST 💗
Posted Jul. 24, 2024 on HomeAwayOur family loved Paradise Found! The location was spectacular, just steps from the very secluded Melbourne beach. Some days we were the only ones out there!
The grassy area behind the house is extremely private & shaded & there are several chairs and a large umbrella to sit & take in the most amazing view of the ocean.
We saw multiple sea turtles at night! A sight that never grew old! And the sunrises were breath-taking.
The house itself is a GEM! So much love & care went into making sure each guest have all they need, beyond well-appointed in my opinion. And the decor is delightful, Old Florida meets modern comfort. We enjoyed each sitting area in the home and there were several to choose from.
The beds were super cozy which isn't always the case at VRBO's. The outdoor showers were a great addition! Feels like you are showering in the jungle when you look up and see the native foliage!
Thank you, Julia, for hosting us!

Rebecca,
Thank you for the beautiful review. Your words capture everything we strive for and hope our guests experience. The 75 yr old home is not without challenges and when we have guests find her and adore her as much as we do “heaven”. There have been many changes and development since we found the cottage in 2012, but thankfully the area is serene and restricted . We have friends who live in popular beach locations, but PFF is our favorite beach- always! To walk on the beach and see no one - and find turtle tracks and hatchlings - things always change but some remain the same.
All the best,
Julia

Paradise
Posted Feb. 20, 2024 on HomeAwayThe house was great. It was clean and exactly what you would expect from the photos and perfect for a casual stay right on the beach definitely rent again. Julia was a great host and very informative.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. We are fortunate to have the cottage and try to keep her heritage in mind while providing a relaxing beach vacation. The South Beaches of Brevard County offer a unique glimpse into Old Florida. The nature, quiet beaches, and mostly private homes keep the beaches pristine. Many of our guests return year after year building on the experience and making memories. Thank you for your kind words.

Classic Florida Beach House
Posted Jan. 21, 2024 on HomeAwayThis house is perfect for us. The beach is quiet; ideal for fishing and walking the dogs. Whiteys Bait Shop has everything you need plus advice on local conditions. We did a guided trip with Brandon of Salt & Savagery. We caught numerous Snook and huge Redfish. Cafe Coconut Grove and the New England Pub are recommended. The house has everything you need. I’m particularly grateful for the electric bike tire air pump.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Seems like you found all the best and local favorites. Whiteys is one of our go to places for the surf fishing report, fresh bait and fishing gear. We’d love to hear more about Salt & Savagery sounds like a great fishing experience. Hope your travels bring you back to PFF.

Quiet Getaway
Posted Jan. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayThe cottage is lovely. We spent our Christmas here, to unwind and unplug (however, the cottage does have internet). This is a quiet little spot on the beach, I can't imagine that there is ever a time of year that the beaches are "full". The grassy yard is great (take bug spray or a thermacell but it is the great outdoors!) The outdoor showers are wonderful, even on cooler nights. The bikes are brand new and ride like a dream. The King bed was firm but comfortable (we would rather firm than lumpy and worn out!). The kitchen is well stocked, and Julia had a nice welcome gift waiting for us when we arrived. We spent lots of time looking through shells on the beach for sea glass and sharks teeth, the beaches were smooth with sections of shells, and the tides changed this each day. There is a closet with some games and puzzles, and a well stocked book shelf for a cool rainy day. There were lots of good restaurants (5-30+ minutes away) that we checked out. And Publix has the best Key lime pies.
Things to note:
1) The green egg has been updated to a larger model.(Yay!)
2) There currently is not an outdoor sink/fish cleaning station, maybe washed away with a storm? but we weren't there to fish.
If you're looking for a quiet get away, this is your place. Thank you again for a wonderful and relaxing week.
