About this property

Sandpiper Suite 1: Find Serenity on private Melbourne Beach - Oceanfront style

Enjoy an uncrowded private beach with fresh ocean air breezes along with a dose of vitamin D sunshine to help cure the doldrums of social distancing.
The Sandpiper suite is one of three units on the property, depending on the size of your group and availability it possible to book 1, 2, or 3 units. (each individually listed) Sea Turtle unit 2: 1814158 and Sea Owl unit 3: 1814356. If you book all three, you could have oceanfront comfort for at least 12 people.
This newly renovated beautiful, quiet 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom beachfront suite has everything you need for a romantic getaway, perfect family vacation or warm retreat from winter. Only steps away from the warm sand, ocean and the sea turtles, the property has a backyard and deck with your own private beach. "Serenity Beach" is situated on a half acre in a very quiet and secluded spot in Melbourne Beach.
Start your morning with a great breakfast in fully equipped kitchen with the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean sunrise and spend the days relaxing by the sea or surfing. Sip your coffee or favorite beverage as you relax to the sounds of the ocean waves and pelicans flying over head.
"Serenity Beach" located in the heart of Archie Carr National Wild Life Refuge. Every year these beaches are nesting grounds for thousands of loggerhead, green, and leatherback turtles. It is one of the few places in the world where all three species lay their eggs. There are more than 140 species of birds, the refuge is a stop over for many migratory birds. From the deck it is possible to spot dolphins, whales and tarpon.
This location is amazing with nature all around and yet you are less than 2 hours from all the Orlando theme parks, 35 miles to Kennedy Space Center, and 30 miles to cruise ship center at Port Canaveral. Publix supermarket is 2 miles away and there are plenty restaurants, bars, shops, surf shops, boat rentals, state parks, golf, tennis and bike shops all with in 15 minutes drive.
The backyard has a great paver pathway and patio with tiki hut, with expansive ocean views. We also have a charcoal and gas bbq grills. Spend your evening sitting and sipping your favorite drink, while listening to the sounds of the waves.
We use CDC guidelines to ready and disinfect the suite with special attention to high touch areas like door knobs, counter tops, light switches and chairs. We also have antiviral and antibacterial disinfectants like Lysol under the sink for your personal use during your stay. We also utilize self check-in and check-out with no person to person contact.
We are dog friendly and love traveling with our dogs also. We allow dogs for $100 fee up to 2 dogs. Always use a leash, pick up, respect neighbors. County ordinance does not allow dogs on the beach.

awesome stay with views of sea turtles

WE were here a few years ago in the winter and heard that in the beginning of June the sea turtles would be laying their eggs on the beach....we were not disappointed!!! each morning when walking on the beech we could see trails from the sea turtles coming on the beach and large mounds near the dunes where they laid their eggs...one evening we were lucky enough to see a loggerhead sea turtle coming ashore!!!everything was really nice at the house, very clean and we had everything we needed.I'm sure we will be back again!

Great place to unwind & watch sea turtles nesting!

Unit was very clean & stocked with many things not at other VRBO’s which makes a get away all that much easier. Felt very comfortable & relaxed immediately. You basically have a beach front property and share the beach with 2 other units in a nature preserve! Saw 4 turtles and 2 decided to nest where we could view from the deck. Other unit renters were very nice & helped us 2 senior women put up the umbrella each day. No maintenance issues. Loved the full size washer & dryer. Would definitely stay again & highly recommend!

Fantastic place

The property was lovely just as depicted by the photographs. The kitchen had everything we needed including some basic pantry staples, which is always helpful. The property owner was quick to help when we became locked out and we resolved the situation quickly. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Dean LaGala

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

We own another vacation beach rental called "The Beach Shack" (VRBO:1393715) in the nearby town of Indialantic, sleeps 8, 3 bedroom 3 bath.
We just love sharing our beautiful area with the amazing travelers from all over the country and the world and we get to host them as a business. Our guests always ask us if we have anymore rentals. We love the beach and had this amazing opportunity to own this triplex that has 3 vacation rental units. All listed. It gives the opportunity for guest to rent one, two or three units depending on how many people traveling.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves as you sip your coffee on the deck, viewing the spectacular ocean sunrises! Serenity Beach 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 own beach.
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 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 at Sebastian Inlet state park or local boat charters. If you like golf there is nearby Spessard Holland or Aquarina Country Club.
