Close to downtown Melbourne and the beaches and approximately an hour to Orlando theme parks and Cape Canaveral, this cottage faces the Indian River Lagoon where dolphins cruise, schools of fish swim, and birds hang out. Sit on the deck, enjoying your favorite beverage, while gentle breezes come off the Atlantic or have lunch on the outdoor eating area under the oaks. Light and airy, the cottage is open floor plan with a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bath. Washer/dryer is onsite.

Please note the cottage is on our property. You'll walk by our home to get to the cottage, which is closer to the river. Note: We can't see into the cottage, can't see you when you're on the deck, and protect your privacy (unless you need us). Some of our guests prefer it that way and many will engage us if we're outside. We do have 2 rescue beagles who are on leash in the backyard. They like 'pets'; please feel free to respond to their requests!

While there is a dock on the site, it is not available to guests at this time.

    The small cottage in the hosts’ back yard is an awesome setting right on the Indian River. It’s very relaxing to sit in the screen porch or deck and watch the River and the sailboats and birds. Also there’s a great view of rocket launches from Cape Canaveral some 30 miles away.

    It was nice and clean. We had pans for anything we wanted to cook—plenty of room in the refrigerator and freezer. There are also ice cube trays with ice. The patio door has a deck with a view of the Indian River Lagoon. Great view. The sidewalk runs alongside the owner's home. Takes you right to it. It might seem like you are trespassing, but it is the correct way to access.

    The property is a cottage that is located on owner's property. As a mother/daughter weekend we felt secure in that if anything happened

    This little cabin has excellent views of the Indian River Lagoon. We saw dolphins and beautiful sunrises on the back deck. Nice location with everything you need. The hosts were friendly and easy to talk to. We can't wait to go back.

    This is such a relaxing stay! The cabin is located on the river surrounded by nature and quiet sounds. The view of space launches is also great. Everything one needs is available, and hosts are the best.
