We had a wonderful time in Melbourne beach and the Villatel home was so great for our family with younger kids. Beautiful home. Game room was a huge hit. Clean and beautiful place. Only feedback is need a coffee maker.
Property was overall very good. Areas to improve kitchen supplies. No measuring cups or spoons, no whisk or hand mixer, spatulas were poor, frying pans were poor. Luckily we are experienced vrbo folks so we brought our own pans. Nice close walk to beach. Need hand rails for elderly to get in and out of pool, no grab bars in master shower for safety. Fan in one bedroom beeped all night and had to turn off. Pac-Man as advertised was broke. Sad kids and adults. No seating in pool room area as advertised in pics. Fridge water filter needed changed. Sink water on right hand side of master bath comes out at a trickle. Cabinet at left side of stove is broke, door and drawer. Easy fix if attentive. Disappointed that you do not recycle. Lots of reusable material going into land fill and I’m a Brevard resident. Extra charge to use grill silly for the price of the property. Never did before and this is our 15 th year doing by owner.
Most responsive property management company I have ever worked with. Every question was answered with 20-30Minutes from pre-check in thru check out. Property was exactly as advertised and location gives access to Inner coastal and ocean which is rare find. House was spacious and clean and had everything we needed for the week.

Being recognized as the most responsive property management company you have ever worked with is truly an honor and a reflection of the dedication our entire team brings every single day. We are so glad the home was exactly as described and that the unique access to both the Intracoastal and the ocean made your stay extra special. Harbor Island Beach Club really is a rare and beautiful location and we love that you were able to enjoy everything it has to offer. We hope to welcome you back for another wonderful week soon!

Arcades and movie theaters
Fully stocked kitchens with high-end appliances
The most UNIQUE and MEMORABLE amenities to make your vacay experience unforgettable—from bowling alleys and treehouse rooms to indoor ninja obstacle courses, casinos, karaoke rooms, and huge spa pools.
Gone are the days of bunking with all the kids on squeaky cots, or trekking across land and sea, only to discover that those online pictures you thought you’d be seeing in person…are actually 15 years old! When you book with Villatel, you can rest assured that you and your crew will enjoy a new kind of vacation experience—in a custom-designed home that’s consistently beautiful & reliable, and offers great value.
