Paradise Found is a 'happy' accident! I (Julia) grew up in the Sebastian/Vero area and loved being a child on the beaches here. My parents have always lived in Florida, but my life has taken me in several different directions. Joe and I were fortunate to find this special place and we are now so pleased to share it with our guests It truly is 'Old Florida' and a slice of Paradise.

There is nothing more special than having a wonder of nature at your door step. The Atlantic Ocean is a mighty and powerful thing full of interest and wonder. The beauty of the area abounds. Each season brings it's own special circumstances: Fishing, shelling, birds and the magnificent turtles that have nested here for centuries. Looking over the ocean and viewing the manatee, dolphins, fish and the occasional whale are truly spectacular. Of course just relaxing and pondering over the energy the ocean creates isn't bad either. The life force of the ocean is ever evolving and to have the chance to be apart no matter how short is priceless.
The unique benefit of this property is a virtually private beach. This truly is 'Old Florida'. There are no high rises, commercial traffic or other distractions. This is a very private part of the beach with private access. Yet! You are close to the things you want. Shopping and necessities are a short drive or bicycle ride. Historic sites are close by: Sebastian Inlet, The Cape and even the Orlando theme parks are within an easy commute. It's the best of both worlds. The guest unit provides a private accommodation with exclusive amenities of a stand alone property- while maintaining affordable beachside accommodations.
We had a wonderful time this week. We did sweep, but we watched the sunrise and tracked in some sand. Our last evening here we sat out back and looked at the stars. Roger's phone has an app that tells us what they all are, so that was fun. Jupiter was our find of the night. It is difficult to leave today but, sadly we must. Thank you for everything.
With gratitude- Roger and Rosemary
This is our 5th year coming to the cottage and we love it!! We come twice a year and the cozy cottage is improved each time we come. Julia & Joe keep the place up to date and in perfect condition. We always treasure our visits, we completely relax, walk the private beach, watch the sunrise over the ocean in the mornings while having coffee, sit in the back yard as the day winds down and have a nice glass of wine......perfect! It took a couple of visits before we actually used the outdoor showers, but now we never use the indoor facilities, if you don't use them you are missing a real treat. Julia is the perfect host and always makes our stay wonderfully enjoyable.
Our 6th winter in the "Pink Cottage". The weather fluctuated from cool (daytime highs in the upper 50's F) to hot (temps well into the 80's F). Through it all, PFF remained our sanctuary. The location is perfect for daytrips to local arts & craft and seafood festivals, for sightseeing and shopping or for simply reading good books on the beach. Observing rocket launches is as easy as walking to the beach, a glass of wine in hand. This spot, very comfortable for two, is ideal for those searching for a brief getaway from normal routines or where a short vacation is needed. Julia, our landlady, is very responsive to any issues and concerns. She ensures that everything needed for a relaxing stay is available. PFF will always be on the top of our winter to-do list.
Again a great get away for my wife Ann and i and of coarse Travis our dog.This was our 4th year renting out the pink cottage and this year they opened up the hole place for us to use and it was even more amazing. We are ready to head back, but unfortunately we will have to what till next year as always. The time does go quick and before you know it next year will be here.So until then stay safe little cottage and see you then. PS Thank you for the great evening we had together we enjoyed ourselves and look forward to doing it again.
The owner, Julia is super friendly and responsive to our every question and needs. This is important as her diligence shows throughout her property from the welcome packages to the amenities (that we kept happily discovering). The location is steps away from the sand and fantastic ocean, safe and fun. You really don't need to be indoors much though as living on the beach is easily possible with umbrellas, chairs and all you need from the house available. Having access the fresh water hoses to wash the sand and salt off and outdoor showers makes the transition back to the house easy. Cooking with the green egg is fun too. On the whole a really fun trip and give it a 5 star rating. Thanks!
Our stay in the bungalow was so good, we did not want to leave. Very clean, the bedrooms are spacious. It is very cozy. The outside is magnificent with beautiful trees. The view of the ocean is spectacular. The American Flag should be lighted at night if it is going to stay outside overnight. It is the perfect place for relaxation . Thank you for the bottle of water, chocolates popcorn left in the kitchen for us to enjoy.
This is our second time visiting the house. The indoor is an updated old Florida style (very cute!) and Julia has put thought and detail into each aspect of the interior. You won't be inside much, though, because the outside is to die for! There's an outdoor grill (Green Egg), private outdoor shower, kayaks, boogie boards, and your own private beach.
We had a great time riding the waves, watching the turtles come up to lay their eggs, and letting the dog run free on the beach! Can't wait to come back again next year.
The Beach Cottage is conveniently located on Hwy A1A between Sebastian Inlet and the center of Old Melbourne Beach. Absolutely pristine virtually private beaches where you can spend the days fishing, swimming, and relaxing. The cottage is located directly on the ocean so enjoying your morning coffee and watching the sunrise is a highlight. If your interest include shopping and museums Melbourne has quite a few to offer and Sebastian Inlet has a treasure and fishing museum. There are many wild life refuges and sanctuaries to enjoy on bike, kayak or walking. Vero Beach is a short ride down the coastal highway where you can enjoy shopping, fine dining, and several spas. If the large resort parks are your interest Disney and Orlando are a short ride across the beach line. In 90 minutes you can be in the heart of Orlando. The Cape and SPACE are located about 45 minutes north. For the fisher person the area provides world class surf fishing and there are several charter services available for river and ocean fishing. This truly is a slice of Paradise!
