Great Family Stay

The Beach Shack was the perfect place to relax and enjoy beachside living while visiting close family in the area. The unit was clean and updated and big enough to have family spend a few days with us enjoying the views. Working with Dean the owner was very easy throughout the reservation process and stay.

Great property and great hosts

Loved the condo, and the owners were great to work with. They accommodated our early flight arrival, and the place was spotless and gorgeous. They had so many extras to help make the stay fun and easy. Part of the time we stayed was when Florida was in the midst of the polar vortex. They reached out to us with suggestions of places to visit and things to do during that time. Our 5- and 7-year old granddaughters were with us part of the time, and they had beach toys available for them to use. They had lots of beach towels, and beach chairs. My wife loved the closet in the master bedroom. All of the rooms were plenty big, and the kitchen had a lot of pots, pans, and other items to help in the kitchen. The living room area had plenty of room with couches and chairs for all of us to congregate there. We all had a great time here, and were very sad to have to leave. We’d return here in a heartbeat.

Right on the beach and perfect for family or friends!

Great property! Nice, quiet location one street east of A1A, right on the beach. Very close to shops and restaurants. With two bedrooms and baths upstairs and one bed and bath downstairs, it's a great size townhouse for a family with grandparents or for three couples traveling together. The owners even accommodated a late check out for us so we could have some beach time on our last day. We loved it and will be back!

Lovely property

The townhouse is in a wonderful location. It is just steps from a quiet beach and there are great views from inside - both floors. It is well-equipped and very comfortable. You can easily walk to a park, a few stores and restaurants, and it's an easy drive to anything else you can think of in the way of restaurants and stores. If you''re into surfing or surf fishing, it is the place to go. One of the owners, Dean, is a friendly guy and was easy to contact and readily available when we needed anything. It was great!

Hidden gem

This is the 3rd unit we have rented in the same townhome complex and this is by far the most welcoming, comfortable and well stocked home on the beach. Host was accommodating in every way and reacted to a small issue immediately. Indialantic is a hidden gem and we hope to return many more times in the future.

Great times at Melbourne Beach

Couldn't have asked for a better location walk out to the beach was very easy especially with a 16 month old active boy who just loved it. There were 3 couples and 2 small children we all had our own space having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was very nice. The place had pretty much everything we needed to prepare meals and beach chairs and cooler definitely came in handy. We were able to see adult turtles coming ashore and laying their eggs as well as baby turtles heading to the ocean. I would definitely recommend this place for families the experience was by far one of our best beach trips we have had.

Great experience at The Beach Shack

Wonderful location and easy access. Ocean views on the website .... "what you see is what you get". All the essentials are there that you might need, well equipped kitchen, bedrooms and showers with lots of storage areas though out the condo. Outside patio seats six with great ocean view. Beach equipment - chairs, umbrellas, toys for kids etc ... just make sure to wear sandals because the sand gets really hot. While we were there July 19 a turtle had laid her eggs near where we accessed the beach. Although The Beach Shack is in a condo "complex " it was quiet and comfortable - while we were there the folks next to us had a private wedding on the beach. Nice. Great hosts and very responsive.

5 Stars and Then Some

Place is remarkable. Location is of course amazing and perfect with steps to the beach and a perfect view. It is quiet and a nice distance from the town and other activities (restaurants, surf shop, etc.). Not too close but not too far. All of that makes it worth it. But then this place adds a little more. We have stayed at various rental properties around the country and this place is one of the nicest (if not THE nicest). There are many guest-centric upgrades from the owners. Games and beach toys for the kids (or adults?!). A very well equipped kitchen (the blender and hand mixer were nice touches). Comfortable beds. Exquisitely decorated. This place is one to return to. Thanks for making it a great spot.

Wonderful Stay at the Beach Shack!!!!!

We had a wonderful time at the Beach Shack, right on the beach in Indialantic! Everything about the property was so well thought out and pristine, and the owners have put loving care into special touches for their guests. Most of all, I loved the upscale decor, the direct access to the beach, privacy (even though it is a townhouse with attached units), and the goodie baskets for both people and canine guests! They were gracious to let our two dogs accompany us, and we were careful to keep them off the furniture, and wash them thoughouly after being on the sand or in the ocean. There are a few rules pertaining to dogs, but these were worth it to be able to have them with us. The goodie baskets and special touches were so cute. Waiting for our lab was a bone shaped basket with several dog toys in it! I'm sorry to say that Bella made short work of them though! So I wonder if the owners will be able to keep this generous touch up! They also made sure we had poop bags and a flashlight for those necessary outings with the pouches. The people goodies included many pantry items, such as popcorn, mac and cheese fixings, spices, etc., some drinks in the fridge and even a frozen pizza to tide us over after a long trip on the road. Upstairs was another goodie bag for people, including everything we might need, such as bug spray, sun screen, shampoo, soap, detergent, and things that we above and beyond pure necessities. I was really impressed with this. I loved the master bedroom with balcony. Everything was truly pleasurable, and we are very happy we stayed at the Beach Shack!!!!!!

Family Vacation

It was our granddaughters first time at the beach and we couldn’t have picked a better place. Beach access was AMAZING! All the sand toys her little heart desired was available. Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, towels, cooler………all the things you would need on the beach was available. We had issues with the AC the first day and Dean was out immediately to take care of it and the rest of the time it was perfect. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to the area and I’m definitely telling my friends that come to Florida about this place. 10/10 would recommend

About the host

Hosted by Dean La Gala

Host profile image
We grew up in Florida: my wife, Patricia in Port Charlotte and I, Dean in Ft. Lauderdale. We both lived in Gainesville, Go Gators! Lived in Boca Raton for 12 years and had our 2 children there. We moved here to Melbourne Beach in 2012 because I have been surfing these beaches for more than 30 years and always loved what the area offers for our family!

Why they chose this property

Location Location Location! We drive by this property everyday and always have been intrigued by its unique beach shack look, tucked away in a quiet corner of Indialantic by the Sea. Inside, it is fantastically updated and the view is priceless. We always wanted a place on the water and this was our opportunity to invest in a beachfront property to share with guest, for us and for our family when they come to visit!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves as you sip your coffee on the master balcony, viewing the spectacular ocean sunrises! Perfectly located on a quiet private beach, yet you can take a stroll (half-a-mile) to the boardwalk the heart of the small town called Indialantic by the Sea. The boardwalk area has: restaurants, Starbucks, Wendy's, Jersey Mike's, boutique shops, CVS pharmacy, surf shops, rent bicycles, surfboards, paddle boards and much more! The Beach Shack is ideally located in Brevard County between the cruise ships in Port Canaveral to the north and beautiful south beaches of Sebastian Inlet State Park. If all systems are GO, you could witness a Kennedy Space center rocket launch from your patio or balcony!
Situated on the barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon with nature abound, it's easy to spot pelicans flying overhead, dolphins, and sometimes manatees! Depending on the time of year, connect with one of mother natures unique events during turtle nesting season, March thru October. The beaches here are one of few in the world that have three species of turtles lay their eggs at night and early morning hours, then the hatchlings emerge to start their life journey. The loggerhead, the huge leatherback and the green turtles have been using these beaches for millions of years, it is a very special event to witness but never touch or disturb them with lights. These turtles are protected by law and by the locals.
The small sleepy towns of Melbourne Beach (a mile a way) and Indialantic hold many events: art shows to Founder's Day! There is plenty to do if you want. If you like fishing you can get your gear at nearby Black Dog bait shop and try your luck surf fishing, off the pier in the Indian River or local boat charters. If you like golf there is nearby Spessard Holland or Aquarina Country Club.
