We needed a place to stay for a short 3 day work assignment. We decided to try VRBO as hotels/motels are a hassle. Melwood Cottage will absolutely not disappoint! Very tastefully decorated, very interesting books to read from local history to herbal gardening, surfing, etc. It is plenty roomy, very fresh and clean in a very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is well appointed with utensils, cookware, all the basics plus extras. The main bed was comfortable and there is also a second bedroom with a day bed but we did not use that room. It is nice that they allow you to use the laundry although we did not need to. Don't hesitate or wait to book if you want a very charming home away from home get away!

Very nice and relaxing. The House has been modernized in a very charming way. It keeps the old style of the area near the River , but is well equiped with air con and a good kitchen. Very quite (exept the train passing near by from time to time) and close to the City Center with very good restaurants. The beach is close and also very beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

I came here for a little getaway by myself and absolutely loved it. The house was so cute, clean, and comfortable. The hosts were responsive and checked in to see if I needed anything. I would definitely stay here again. The only negative was the train horns but nothing they can do about that.

Very cozy, hosts were super available - I didn’t have any issues, I just let them know when I arrived and left. I also inquired about extending my stay and I wound up not needing to but the y responded immediately. Great spot. Beds were comfy, AC frosty, it was great! Thanks!

This was our third time staying in this cute little cottage! We absolutely love staying there and we will again in the fall! There was one thing that blew our minds though, and this is just a little reminder for folks that stay in the Melbourne area... There was a rocket launch and we didn't know what all the shaking and banging noises were at first! Then disappointed that we didn't see it! We love it there!

The house was neat and clean, easy to access. We enjoyed everything about it with the exception of the missing river views. The listing indicating “outdoor dining” with river views was deceptive and was a big reason we chose the house. Our family enjoys dropping a kayak in the river in the evening, sitting out and watching the kids paddle around and despite requesting information about the suitability for this, there was no confirmation or denial that it would work. It turns out, you can’t see the river and going to the area pictured in the listing seems invasive to the home in the front of the property. It just wasn’t what we expected from the listing. Otherwise, the house was fine - clean, well stocked, and worked for sleeping. We enjoyed the beaches nearby.

It is a cute little bungalow that fit our needs. We were in town for a single night and needed a place to bed down. The spot is great, just a block off the inter coastal and a block off US1. Plenty of eateries close by. We took in Aunt Loiuse's Italian place up the road a bit closer to our appointed destination...a new puppy we took home the next morning!!! It was clean and the hosts were very nice before and during the stay. I would definitely book again if the need arises. Thanks,

Great little house, had a good time with family that would come over for the day to eat & or just hang out. Very quiet friendly neighborhood with the occasional train going by during the day but not a big deal. Quick 90 second walk, literally right around the corner to the Indian River. Plenty of things to discover in Brevard County, beaches, parks, restaurants, entertainment. Would stay again! Geoff Newark,OH

This is an older house. Positives....The Owner have gone to great length to a wonderful experience. However, the neighborhood is not for everyone. There is train noise at night....and I hate to say this but someone was walking on our roof the first night, and it was not an animal.

What a lovely cottage in a beautiful place! Access to the Indian River around the block made our stay incredible. Relaxing, reading, playing games, watching boats, wind surfers and just the gorgeous view of the river was something we loved. We even spent time enjoying a cup of tea in the evening at the table by the river! A place I will always want to return to!

The property was very clean. The air conditioner was already on which made the home comfortable. Lots of communication from Logan about how to enter and exit the home. It was nice not to be obligated to strip the bed and start laundry before we left. We would use them again for our next trip to Florida.

We truly enjoyed our week here in this cheery little house with all it's fun Florida-esque touches! It is CLEAN, comfy and relaxing. We loved having our coffee on the front porch in the mornings, waving back at the nice neighbors, and walking around the neighborhood and along the river ourselves, before heading out for the day's activities. A few minute's drive to the beach and shopping. Thank you again, Pedro and Laura!

Definitely staying here again on my next visit!
