About this property

Seagrape Beachfront Cottage - Direct waterfront, Family and Pet Friendly

This stylish cottage has an amazing outdoor space and views. The beach and ocean are your backyard – unobstructed views of the ocean and a path to the sand. This charming 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath is close to restaurants, cafes and the grocery. It’s walking distance from the Indian river where you can rent a motorboat, kayak or canoe. It’s 1 block from walking trails & the community center. There are 3 public golf courses nearby.

SeaGrape is a 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath cottage where you can step off your large deck and right on to the sand. Not many properties here can offer unobstructed ocean views with straight onto the sand access.

The cottage is well furnished and set up with all the essentials for a fun stay as well as beach play - linens, towels, beach towels and a BBQ. The kitchen is fully equipped for any sort of cooking you might want to do. There are spices and condiments as well as both a Keurig with K-cups and a regular coffee machine with coffee and teas supplies.

We are close to grocery and restaurant options. Some restaurants are within just a few minutes, more 10 minutes away and still more 15 minutes away. You are close enough for a day trip to Disney or Universal, NASA is nearby as well (you can see the launches from your deck).

Also you'll be very close to the river, just blocks away you can rent a motorboat, kayak or canoe. There are 3 public golf courses nearby as well a tennis courts just 1 mile away. About 1 block away is a large park with a playground and community center with near daily activities. From March 1 - October 31 is sea turtle nesting time - a wonderful experience to witness.

SeaGrape is a non-smoking property both inside & outside.

Your Furbabies are welcome. There is a $150 non-refundable fee.
We take one low shedder 35 pounds or less or 2 small low or no shed furbies whose combined weight doesn't exceed 50 pounds. If you have a shedder reach out and let's talk.

The parking can accommodate 2 cars. There is off street parking across the street if you have visitors.

There are 2 cottages on the property both with privacy fencing, private decks and beach area as well as private entrances (not close to each other). You do not share any common spaces - you only share the large parking area.

There are 2 cottages on the property but the only area you share with Coconut (the other cottage) is parking. You have your own beach entry, deck, outside shower and there are vacant lots on either side of us so you have lots of privacy and beach area. You can park 2 cars in the parking area. If you would like to have daytime visitors with cars, please be in touch so that we can coordinate with you and the other guests.

Your comfort and enjoyment are our top priorities. I am always available via messages on the platform to assist you with any inquiries, recommendations, or special requests you might have. Whether you need tips on local attractions, restaurant recommendations, or assistance with any aspect of your stay, feel free to reach out at any time. Your experience matters to us, and we are dedicated to ensuring you have a memorable stay.

In case of emergencies or urgent matters, please do not hesitate to call me directly. I am located just 20 minutes away from the property and can promptly address any issues that may arise. Your peace of mind is important to us, and we are here to provide prompt and efficient assistance whenever you need it. 321-758-1258

We want your stay at our oceanfront retreat to be seamless and enjoyable. Whether you're seeking privacy and relaxation or adventure and exploration, we are here to make your stay exceptional. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns – your happiness is our commitment.

We look forward to welcoming you to our coastal paradise and ensuring your stay is everything you dreamed of and more!

- We are on a septic system here so if you could please be sure to keep as much sand outside as possible, shake your towels out and rinse sand off outside rather than in the shower, I'd be very grateful.

- Here in Melbourne Beach area, like most of Florida we have little biting critters called No Seeums rather than mosquitos, they are sort of like mosquitos, and they might come out, but a trick to keep them out of the house is to put vinegar in a bowl, put a little dish soap in it, stir it up and put it by the door. Put one inside and one outside. They will be attracted by the vinegar and stick because of the soap.

There are 2 cottages on the property but the only area you share with Seagrape (the other cottage) is parking. You have your own beach entry, deck, outside shower and there are vacant lots on either side of us so you have lots of privacy and beach area. You can park 2 cars in the parking area. If you will have daytime visitors with cars, please be in touch so that we can coordinate with you and the other guests.

-If you need to have a 3rd car, the street that is directly across A1A can be used for off street parking. You can also check with me to see if the guest in the other cottage has only one car and if so, we can organize for you to have 3 on the drive.

-March 1 – October 31 is turtle nesting season. The turtles are a protected species so there are very simple but important rules to follow during this period especially because hurricanes Ian and Nicole took away many nests so this year is super important to them.

It is very important that the drapes on windows that are on the side or across the back are closed at night so that light does not show onto the back, it confuses both the turtles and the babies so they end up on the highway or yard instead of the water.

-Please also make sure all the porch lights in front and sides are off at night. The back porch light is disabled. At night please keep the kitchen light off when you are not using the kitchen.

-Please don’t walk on or dig in the dunes, that is where turtles nest, instead take the steps (or path) down to the flat beach.

-Watch for nests in the dunes if you accidentally get into them, they look like little craters. The county does mark some of them, but only 1 out of every 10 so we all must keep an eye out.

**Do not leave anything on the beach or on the dunes at night.**

Wonderful vacation, excellent location!

This vacation was amazing. The property was clean, well-appointed, and in a terrific lication. Not only right on the ocean with beautiful views, it's close to grocery stores, sights, and my personal favorite, a lovely community oark with a great walking and jogging trail. The beach was not even the slightest bit crowded. Very peaceful with everything we needed. I wish i could have stayed even longer. Host very responsive and easy to deal with too! Loved this place❤️

ALWAYS a wonderful experience!

This is our third year at The SeaGrape Cottage and we continue to love the home, the location and the hosts. Recent upgrades and additions have further enhanced our stay in small but wonderful ways. The new surfboard table on the expanded back deck is a winner! Many evening board games and drinks were had there (and it just looks cool!). We look forward to many more years staying at this amazingly cool, wonderfully secluded beach house.

Wonderful place to stay

We spent a lovely and relaxing week at this cottage. The cottage was perfect in so many ways - amazing view, just steps to the beach, quiet, very clean, thoughtfully furnished/equipped (everything was thought of) and fully stocked. The location is wonderful; we enjoyed many walks on the beach, watching the ospreys, pelicans, frigate birds and other birds from the deck, and spotting dolphins in the waves. We felt very welcome, very much enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. Dawn was a wonderful host. Thank you so much!

Family Beach Vacay

We absolutely loved this location. We rented both houses on property. There were so many amenities available to us upon check in (way more than any rental before). So many little touches that made this house special like sunscreen, bath and kitchen necessities, tons of beach items and more. Not to mention we went during turtle laying season!!! We saw sea turtles and manatees so many times. Best beach by far. The host was always responsive and helpful.

The property was truly beautiful inside and the beach location was amazing. It was so nice waking up every morning with a sunrise view. The property was spacious, immaculate and well-stocked with everything you could ever need. The property owners were the most attentive we have ever experienced, they checked in on us several times to ensure that we had everything we needed. We'll definitely rent this property again (if it's still available).

Heaven

This house and its beach live up to every glowing review written before mine. I will forever treausre the memories I made here. You are literally steps from a private beach!! The house is pristine with everything you'll need, the beach is that of a Disney movie with its clean sand, sea turtles, and cute little crabs, and the host is attentive and reassuring that she is there for whatever you may need. 10/10!

AHHH-mazing!

Second time we have stayed at "The Grape" and we continue to love every bit of it. Location, house, furnishings, kitchen, blah, blah., blah. It's just wonderful. Our stay included several trips into Vero for my dad's memorial and other such estate duties and Dane continued to send her condolences and make sure we were okay with our situation. I don't know of any other hosts who are that concerned about their guests. Can't wait to go back in 2024!

Wonderful!

The pictures are accurate, yet still don't do the property justice. The cottage is fantastic, with a peaceful beach vibe. Clean, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. The location is breathtaking! D was a fantastic host, making sure we had everything we needed and communication was great. My husband has never been a fan of the beach, so I took a chance renting this and hoping I could convert him. It worked! We are now checking our calendars for a return date. I may have set the bar too high, though...SeaGrape may be the only beach spot for us in the future. Thank you D!!

Cannot Recommend More Highly!

We cannot say enough nice things about this spot or, especially, its host. D is the best host we’ve ever had. She was so considerate and thought of every detail - from prompt and helpful communication to stocking the house with everything her guests could need to feel at home. She is amazing. The home is wonderful. It sits right on a very quiet, secluded beach. The patio is big and perfect for sun bathing and for kids to play, you can walk right down to the sand, there is a grill and picnic table to enjoy dining al fresco, and the view from inside makes even indoor time indulgent. Beds were comfy, everything is clean and working properly. The house is stocked with plenty of clean linens, working kitchen gadgets, and extras to make things convenient and homey. Groceries and grocery delivery nearby is easy, and there are a number of well-rated restaurants as well. There is also a dog-friendly beach (Conova) nearby, and a park with a kids playground right across the street. We loved being guests here and can’t wait to come back.

Tranquil Peace

We booked this home to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary, Dawn was very helpful early on with suggestions of things to do and where to eat. It’s always nice to have local perspective as you can only learn so much from reviews. We arrived early and caught our host just as she was finishing for our arrival (Prosecco, chocolate covered strawberries, and a lovely card) she was able to give us a tour of the home and where to find things. Our first view walking in was out the living room sliding door and it was breathtakingly beautiful, pictures do not give it justice. The location of the property is a bit farther out of the main attractions like 25 minutes from Melbourne Beach but therein lies the benefits…..no public beaches for miles in both directions!!! The very next morning my wife and I were walking the beach and saw a sea turtle digging out after laying its eggs, then just after sunset saw 2 come in from the surf!! Dawn did text us a couple time just to make sure things were going good and asking if there was anything she could do for us, it was very thoughtful:) Will we go back here? Without question YES!!!

Best of the Best

The interior and exterior was all beautiful. From the decorating to the furniture to the kitchen dishes/cookware to the pillows, quilts and towels. It was gorgeous and well done. But we went there for the ocean and it was right there at the edge of our patio area. 5 steps and your toes were in the sand. The owners were very attentive to make sure that our stay was the best. Our walks on the beach each day were always refreshing and beautiful. We even had the unique experience of sitting on the patio one evening and watching Spacex launch from Cape Canaveral, including the 3 boosters falling away from the rocket. Our stay was for 10 days and was unique in that Hurricane Ian was headed towards the Gulf. We love big waves and a good ocean breeze so Mother Nature delivered that. The morning we checked out, Hurricane Ian was nipping at our heels as we drove north on highway 95. We are sad for the damage that has been done to the state of Florida. If there is any damage to SeaGrape, because the owners are so attentive to details …... the results could only be more perfection. I would definitely return to their sweet piece of heaven.

Amazing stay at a home away from home!

What an amazing stay, and Dawn is a wonderful host! We received and email prior to our arrival with directions to the cottage, information about the property, recommendations for shopping, restaurants and things to do in the area during our stay. Dawn was there to greet us upon our arrival and she checked in with us the next day to ensure we got settled and to see if we needed anything at all. If we had any questions during our stay, she was available at any time and was so very helpful. The cottage is absolutely beautiful, warm and and inviting. Dawn has thought of every little detail to make this a home away from home. There was cold beer and wine in the refrigerator on our arrival, sugar and spices stocked in the cupboards for cooking and delicious Keurig coffee for us to start our mornings off right! A lot of thought and love went into to decorating and preparing this home for guests to enjoy, and it shows. The beach is only steps away from the deck and the view of the ocean is amazing from both the deck outside as well as the living area inside. I highly recommend getting up early to watch the sunrise with a cup of delicious coffee in hand. We had a perfect view of dolphins surfing and playing in the ocean and the sea turtle activity was high during our stay. So exciting!! We have found our perfect getaway and relaxation spot, a fantastic property host and we will definitely be returning again next year!! Thank you for an absolutely wonderful vacation!!
