Now I can get back to explaining all of the wonderful things this house has to offer!
Tranquility Base is your serene retreat on nearly half an acre in a quiet neighborhood located in the South Beaches area of Melbourne Beach. This recently renovated home, approximately 1700 square feet, is just steps from the beach and Indian River for sunrise to sunset fun.
The living room and kitchen have skylights that keep things bright and give the home an ethereal quality. There are 2 queen bedrooms, one with a bathroom ensuite, and a bunk room with 4 single beds. An outdoor shower is provided in the garden for rinsing off after returning from the beach.
The grounds here offer large private lawns and tropical gardens - all shimmering with the dappled light from a canopy of coastal live oaks and Spanish moss. It is truly another world where you can find solace and rescue for your spirit.
The beaches and river banks of South Melbourne Beach are void of crowds and congestion. It is a true paradise abundant with recreational opportunities or simply your 'second home' for tropical rejuvenation and renewal. A Peek-a-Boo river view is visible from the front yard.
Orlando attractions, Canaveral Cruise Ships and the Kennedy Space Center are all within a 90 minute drive. The area also offers world class surfing and fishing just a few minutes from the home.
Full quality linens are provided. Cable TV, WiFi, and long distance phone service are also included.

About Jenny
We are a California family who left our hearts in Florida.
Jenny purchased this house in 2005
Why Jenny chose Melbourne Beach
We have family in the area and love to vacation here ourselves once a year.
What makes this house unique
Ocean Breezes, hikes in the nature preserve, jogging on the beach in the morning, meandering in the tropical garden, watching the sunset over the river.
Guestbook comments from the owner
"Dear Jenny,
We thoroughly enjoyed your beach house. 'Tranquility Base' does not adequately describe it with it's lush gardens and sky-lit rooms. There was nothing lacking for a peaceful, lovely vacation by the sea. The location is ideal and we'd recommend it to anyone! Our favorite spot was the screened in porch, complete with ceiling fans and comfy seating. Our puppy enjoyed the easy access to the backyard and the scenic view of Florida wildlife:)"

Colorado and New York families
The house is perfectly situated between the ocean and river, a quick walk to either. The home is well stocked and comfortable, and we used the screened porch often for dinners. The yard is lush, the garage and outdoor shower helped us keep the beach sand outside. Beds were comfortable, great tv, internet and long distance home phone. We were close to restaurants, grocery, gym, and attractions. Thanks, Jenny and family, for letting us enjoy your home. And we loved the beach bikes and fish poles!
Great beach house getaway
It's like a home away from home and great for long stays. There's lots of space to spread out and plenty of room for the kids. With the beach only a few blocks away and the Indian River only a few blocks in the other direction there's plenty to do without even leaving the neighborhood.
As a bonus, the private dock area on the river side has a giant playground setup that it great for kids from 2 years old, but is big enough for big kids too.
We loved the house and had an amazing time!!!!
We loved our vacation!! The house was exactly as described, we were very pleased. The house is located a short walk from the beach and the river, it is pretty much centrally located between the 2. The beach is gorgeous and pretty private, everyone we spoke to in passing seemed to be locals and were very friendly and informative. We seen several sea turtles at night and even got lucky enough to see a leatherback on shore nesting and received a nice education from a professor and some marine biology students there that new the turtle was coming. Amazing!! Back to the house :-) the kitchen was perfectly stocked with any kind of cook and dishware we needed. We ate 1 -2 meals a day at the house. The publix store was a short drive away 3-4 miles. Was nice sitting on the back screened in porch. Wifi worked great! Went to disney 1 day about 1 hr and 20 min drive. Thanks you so much for sharing your home!!! The area is just so beautiful we hated to leave.

Nice house very easy transaction. A short walk to the beach. Its a bit far from the tourist type of thing but its definitely a slow area to relax. The house has everything you would need to a stay from beach stuff to a Weber. grill. WiFi worked well to.
Awesome House....
We stayed for a week and it was wonderful! The owners were so easy to work with, and so nice! We loved the house! Everything was super clean, NO bugs and so much was provided, literally all we needed was our clothing! We are looking forward to renting this again next year! Beach was about a block away (walking), river access with beautiful sunsets was also a block away (walking)... Also about 2 blocks was a Nature Preserve great for hiking and walking.... Great Place, so glad we spent a week there!
Exceptional
Even though I did not stay at this rental due to scheduling changes. The owners were exceptional to deal with during the whole procedure.

Located on a narrow stretch of island right in the middle between the ocean and River. Almost 1/2 an acre of land with beautiful tropical gardens.
