About this property
Mid-Century Oasis w/Game Room & Private Patio In The Heart Of Melbourne
A 1950's old-school experience! The living room has high wood ceilings that create a classic yet modern feel. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area invite shared meals, and the private patio surrounded by lush greenery. Nestled in a Floridan paradise, minutes from downtown, restaurants, and short drive to the beach.
Each room in the house has its own climate control so you can set the temperature according to your desire! (We have installed all new mini split air conditioning.)
✔ Inside games & activities
✔ Private, covered patio
✔ Ping-pong/Fooseball
✔ Firepit
For those of you with larger families, you can search for the attached (but separate) studio apartment located above the carport: PALM VIEW (Property #2068644). Only the driveway is shared.
This isn't just a house, it's a destination! Just 1 hr from Orlando. Situated next to Erna Nixon park with some of the most beautiful walking/biking trails in all of Florida!
Palm Point was built in 1950 by one of the founders of Melbourne Village. The design is unique with all the rooms exiting to an expansive porch loaded with casement windows for an excellent view. The home still carries its historic feel, yet with modern amenities. It is a natural park-like oasis in the middle of the city of Melbourne in coastal central Florida. Everyone loves Melbourne Village. It is one of the most sought out communities to live in all of the Space Coast! We have a playground and basketball court. The townspeople are extremely friendly and traffic is minimal. Many of the lots are a full acre with lots of large, mature trees.
It's just 7 miles to the beach, 30 minutes to Cocoa Beach, a few minutes to I-95, lots of dining options, Melbourne Square Mall, The Henegar Center for the Arts, FIT, Melbourne Airport, 2 movie theaters, lots of shopping, etc. You will find residents of the village out and about with their dogs, enjoying the beautiful trees, birds and tortoises. Nature lovers will appreciate the bird-watching (bald eagles, hawks, owls, and swallow tailed kites abound). Many wild rabbits and the back yard has 4 gopher tortoise holes, so they are out and about during the day as well. (They are a federally protected animal, so don't disturb/touch them.)
Personnel may be on premises to take garbage to the road or to do yard maintenance.
*All events (guests over 10) must be preapproved. Additional fees will apply.
Ring security cameras/doorbell installed.

About the host
Hosted by Jonathan and Carrie Cronkhite: Owners
We've been renting another property in Maine for 20 years and bought this historic property and renovated it trying to keep as much original as possible giving it a 1950's feel with modern amenities. We live just down the street and take pride in helping you have a great experience!
Why they chose this property
It's an awesome property and an incredible location! We could rent it easily to long terms tenants, but we like the flexibility of using the place ourselves and for family.
What makes this property unique
A one-acre tropical paradise that is secluded! The backyard doesn't have a house in sight.
