About this property

Floridian home w/ pool & short walk to private beach & river park for kayaking.

This Melbourne beauty is a true Floridian home in Melbourne Shores on the east coast of Florida. It is a 4 bedroom home with a full kitchen, living room & dining room plus 3 baths. (Ask me about shorter stays). Just out side your living room door you walk into the lanai complete with in ground pool and Floridian wicker furniture. You are surrounded by tropical plants and a fenced in yard offering you complete privacy. Enjoy your coffee or tea in the morning and listen to the birds or sip your wine in the evening surrounded only by the sound of the crickets. 285 Ibis Drive is located in Melbourne Shores in Melbourne Beach. You are a 1/2 block from the bay beach which is a perfect location to watch the sunset and 1 1/2 blocks from the Melbourne Shores private beach for swimming, sunning and surf fishing. Melbourne Shores is a small association of homes with a private beach with access passes and also access to the bay area on the Indian River. The house has a fully equipped kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. We have a weekly pool service which takes care of the pool and lawn maintenance as well. Maid service is available if you are interested. It is a wonderful place to visit anytime of the year. We are looking for a minimum stay of 3 months however we may consider a shorter stay. Please get in contact with me and I can answer all of your questions! If you are interested in a stay shorter than what is shown please message me.

Adam R.

Spacious home w/pool in quiet neighborhood.

Well kept property and wonderful owners. Owners were incredibly responsive during our stay. The pool was a big plus and the home has everything you need. The beach is a short walk to the end of the road and the Indian River is right around the corner. A great location if you like to fish, surf, paddle board, or just relax and watch the sunset. Local restaurants and groceries were a plus and gas stations are close in either direction. The Sebastian Inlet is a must and is only a 10 minute drive south. It has some of the best fishing around and a beautiful view of the Atlantic where it meets the Indian River. I would certainly recommend to anyone wanting to have a fun/relaxing vacation.

It was great meeting you Adam and I'm glad the stay worked out well for your family! I'm glad you enjoyed the house and I know your kids certainly enjoyed the pool! It is a great house and the 4 bedrooms make it comfortable for a family or guests. I think Melbourne Beach really is the best kept secret on the east coast of Florida! As you mentioned there are several close restaurants and services and just a bit down the road as much entertainment as you could want! Even close for a trip to Disney for the day! Welcome to the area and please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything I can help with! Enjoy the spring! Kim
