Perfect Getaway
My husband and I have stayed at this location numerous times and is our favorite place to stay when it is just us. Location is great with the beach with private access right across the road. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. We had good communication with Thomas. Highly recommend this location

We were very pleased with our stay. The home is very private, within a minute walk from the beach. The host was readily available, if needed, to answer any questions. Thank you for a quiet “home away from home” (without the cold/snow) to begin, and end, each of our fun full filled days in Melbourne Beach.

Beach Trip with Sisters
My husband and two sisters all in our 70’s loved the place. The steps were hard with the two replaced hips in the family but we made it. The accommodations were great. The upper level bedroom is huge with a very nice bath with a shower and jacuzzi tub. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beach was a five minute walk across the highway but easily done. We practically had the beach to ourselves. We like playing bocce ball on the beach. We used the beach chairs provided, but it was too windy for the beach umbrella. We worked a puzzle on the long table in the garage and played a lot of games at the kitchen table. All in all it was one of our favorite places.

Clean and Accommodating
We stayed for 9 nights. House was exceptionally clean. Everything was as described on the web site. I appreciate having the bikes to use in the garage. Having the county park just a minute away made it very convenient to ride or just walk the trails. It was convenient to the beach as well. Will definitely keep it at the top of our list for a return visit.

Great House
The house was great and very well laid out. The privacy was f the landscaping made it feel like you were in a world of your own.
Everything you need is there. We loved the location and easy access to the beach.
The turtle sanctuary was just down the road a bit as was Sebastian Inlet.
We will definitely be back!

Perfect Beach Getaway
Thomas’s beach house is the absolute perfect getaway. The private beach access is amazing, the neighbors are all so friendly. Everything you could possibly need for the beach is included onsite. The home is very clean and everything minus food is provided. The local grocery store, Publix, is just down the road along with restaurants, and multiple gas stations. The Archie Carr turtle education building is 2 miles away. For those who want to go do the touristy thing you’re just 25-30 minutes away from the cocoa beach area. If you’re looking for a getaway you won’t be disappointed.

comfortable home in quiet neighborhood
This house is located just off of a less-traveled section of the A1A. Two state parks are close by--one within walking distance, and the beach access is across the street. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen functional, and the house was clean. There are 2 flights of stairs, one flight to the living space and another to the master bedroom. The area has many bike trails and bikes are available as part of the rental. I recommend this place to any who are ok with stairs.

Excellent Location
Private and secluded but not isolated. Very convenient to the Beach, you can hear the calming sounds of the surf from the house. The home has everything to make your beach experience complete. Beach chairs, umbrellas and a beach cart to use if needed. Fishing rods if you're in the mood. Body board for surfing and even a real surf board. For a break from the beach, the bikes were a pleasant surprise and with the recreation park just a stones throw away, we couldn't ask for for more. Home was clean and bed (we only used the king bed) was very comfortable. Our first time at this home, we'll be back!
