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.

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.

Serenity Cottage at the Beach in Melbourne Fl
Such a serene and bright dwelling only steps from the beach. My husband who is handicapped, enjoyed this stay as well, especially outside under the gazebo since he cannot get down to the beach. We brought portable grab bars for the toilet, and he had his own walker on wheels. The place was so well Equipped with everything we needed except our own clothing and food. Being able to park right outside the cottage was so helpful as we are both over 70. Our daughter came along to help us and enjoy as well. The view from the cottage from dawn until night was spectacular. We plan on returning!

Great place! Perfect for a quiet beach getaway.
We have stayed at this property several times and always love it. The place is extremely clean, neat and tidy, especially for a beach condo where it would be easy to let things get dirty, sandy or run down. The kitchen, bathroom, and laundry are well supplied with the essentials. The location may not be for everyone - we love it as it is very quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle, and with turtle considerations there are restrictions on late-night activities, light and noise. The beach is nearly deserted. Restaurants and shops are a bit of a drive. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this place is ideal. If you want more typical activities of a beach town, maybe look for something less remote.

A piece of paradise on Melbourne Beach
We have stayed in several VRBO's on the beach in the past 2 years. We all most gave up until we stayed in this VRBO. It was so clean and the location is perfect. What really stuck out for us is how accommodating Dean and Patricia are with their guests. They were so easy to contact when needed. They have the place supplied with all the needed essentials for staying in a VRBO and especially staying on the beach. We would stay here again in a heart beat!!!!!! The place is lovely.

I really enjoyed staying at Serenity Beach. My husband caught a large pompano and several bluefish. The last day was unfishable due to weather so my daughter and her 2 children came to stay at the beach with me. Luckily it cleared up and we were able to enjoy the beach in the late afternoon. Beautiful place to stay with everything you’d need. Loved the private back yard area!

Really nice property with great amenities. Supplied with umbrellas and chairs to take advantage of the terrific beachfront. From the backyard deck we were able to see the giant sea turtles late at night lay their eggs in the sand without disturbing them. Would definitely come back again!

Amazing Beachfront Property
To say this was a well stocked property, would be an understatement. They had everything and more. Having the beach just a staircase away was great. The beach wasn’t overcrowded. Just a few other families on vacation. The location was perfect for our needs. Please understand that Melbourne Beach isn’t your typical touristy area. The main focus is the ocean. This is a property where you are meant to go to the beach. While we were there we saw dolphins, turtles, little lizards and my husband and son said the saw a small bill shark. Overall we will stay again.
