A sea of tranquility, stylish, elegant and relaxing .

Stylish, elegant and relaxing, 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 furnishings

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 wifi.

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 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 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!

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.

Delightful and expansive!
This home is delightful and expansive! Stayed here as a party of 3 siblings all 60+ years old in town for a cousin’s family reunion and wedding celebration. We enjoyed our accommodations immensely. Each of us had our own bedroom and full bathroom — very comfortable for 3 who desired our own space and privacy. The home has a superb location to Melbourne Beach and to the town of Melbourne. We would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back to the Melbourne Beach area!

Charming, comfortable beach house
A great value for a tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable mid-century home. Walkable pretty and safe neighborhood and 5 minutes to private beautiful beach. Home was open, spacious and cozy. RH and collectibles decorated. Pretty and private yard. Bikes and beach wagon were a plus.

Lovely stay in Melbourne Beach
Great experience with this rental. The house is in a fairly quiet neighborhood off of A1A. We have 4 small kids so we opted to drive to the beach at Spesard Holland Beach part as the Atlantic Street beach access has steps and I didn't wanna schlep all the beach gear and kids in the August sun. The rental was very clean, checking process super simple, really nice stay.

We were so surprised with how big this listing was! It was so beautifully put together, clean, and in the perfect area to experience Melbourne beach but also be close to the bridge to reach mainland if needed. We didn’t want to leave!

Hibiscus House
We had a very nice stay at Hibiscus House. The home appears just as it does in the pictures. Very clean and well-appointed. Has everything you need to head to the beach. Would suggest a short drive rather than walk for best access. Close to grocery and eateries. Host is accommodating and communication is seamless. Felt very comfortable here. Would definitely stay again!!
