Charming cottage, well stocked with supplies. Very quiet and clean. Melbourne Village is a hidden gem. I use to live in the Village. This is the cutest place. Everything worked good.

Cozy little cottage

We loved this little place! It seemed like our home away from home. It is very cozy and is very nice inside. We wished we would have stayed here for our second week in Florida instead of the giant house we got in Davenport Florida.

The property was beautiful, quiet, and across the road from some historical buildings. It was impressive the attention to detail.

Perfect stay

Perfect first VRBO experience. Very clean cottage, well appointed. Great neighborhood and setting, too. The full kitchen, washer/dryer, and dishwasher make this great for longer stays. This will be the first place I'll look to see if it's available any time I'm in the area. A previous reviewer mentioned issues with the toilet running - those issues seem to have been resolved. Zero issues for me during a 2 week stay.

Relaxing and Quiet

We stayed in this property for 2 weeks in December 2024. Great cottage, quiet neighborhood, lots to do in the region if you choose. There was an early mis-communication from property management. Once the issue was clearly identified, it was resolved timely to our satisfaction.We will definitely use this property again as we have family nearby.

Outstanding

This adorable little cottage used every square inch to create a functional and expertly designed oasis. Perfect for a couple. The best stocked cottage that we have ever stayed. They thought of everything and a few things I would have never thought of in a rental. Thank you for the coffee kcups, bottle of wine, and snacks. This place is close to our daughter so we will be staying here in the future.

Perfect!

Everything about our stay at Curly’s Cottage was just right except for the fact we could only stay for one night. The cottage is beautifully decorated and spotless; the outdoor spaces are suitable for a glass of wine in the evening or a cup of coffee in the morning. Who knew there was a little green oasis in the middle of Melbourne? Thank you to the owner and the manager for a wonderful experience!

Yes and No

Nicely remodeled and cozy cottage. But the toilet was a PITA. Toilet ran the whole time we were there. I complained and no attention was given to fixing it. I would turn the valve off leading to the tank at night so we could sleep and not listen to it gurgle.

We are very sorry about the inconvenience of the toilet running, we did have our handyman come out during your stay and adjust. We hope it didn't cause too much distress.

The cottage is a cozy, beautiful and quiet place to relax.

What a wonderful setting. This place has a lot of charm. It has all the attributes of a modern cottage yet is only 10-20 minutes away from major beaches and waterway. Excellent restaurants and stores are within minutes. An extensive waking area is also adjacent to the property. We had an issue with the lock as the description did not match (I guess the locks had just been updated and I am technically challenged). However Pedro was able to immediately remedy. It would be helpful if a small dresser were added to the bedroom as the closet does not have a great deal of space and only one shelf. Not an issue if you’re only staying a few days but this was the second segment of our journey and we had two large suitcases so a dresser would have been a nice addition.
