The yard is beautifully landscaped to provide privacy and relaxation. The entire house has been decorated in a surfing theme set in the 60s with a Mid-Century design, with each room featuring a special, unique focus on the different aspects of surfing.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of pool toys to enjoy the refreshing pool water. Enjoy your wine at the Locally handmade surfboard bar situated by the pool. The friendly fun continues outside of the lanai with more comfortable seating and a nearby ping-pong table and a cornhole bags set.

The fun begins at the surfing beach shack, which contains everything you'll need to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean - an easy walk - just 100 yards away to public beach access. We thought of everything you'll need with surfboards, body boards, beach chairs, a large beach blanket, SPF beach umbrella, beach wagon, beach towels and a large selection of beach sand toys. You might find yourself on one of the 3 beach cruiser bikes strolling a few blocks to get ice cream or coffee at the Nautical Cafe.

The bungalow beach house was very quaint and nicely decorated. The pool was refreshing after spending the day at the beach which was a hop, skip and jump away. The cleanliness was not the greatest: human/dog hair was found on the linen of the freshly (wink, wink) made beds and window sills (dog), shower liners needed replacing, prime bathroom shower needed Kaboom shower spray, there was an inch of dust located on top of the W/D and the bottom portion of the vanity in the guest bedroom had toilet paper dust. I reported that the dishwasher was not working and requested not send anyone out to repair it during our stay.

This was our second trip to 205 Surf and it was every bit as wonderful as the first time. The house is in a terrific location, close to the beach, playgrounds, food etc. Steve is a great host and responds quickly to questions. 205 Surf is a very comfortable vacation home with every amenity. We like it so much we have already booked it for next year. We can't wait! Patti & Larry

We we’re coming down for fall break to Vero Beach and we’re arriving a day before the rest of our group. I found and booked this great home for the 5 of us. The screened in pool was awesome for getting my 2 year old some great exercise after a long day in the car. Home was meticulous and the surf decor and pictures were fabulous! Quiet neighborhood and close to the beach. I definitely recommend and would stay here again!! Thank you for the beautiful stay! Danielle

I highly recommend this VRBO!!! It was very clean! Steve (the owner) was extremely easy to work with, answered all my questions promptly. The home is awesome!!! Plenty of room inside the house to spread out. We were celebrating my daughter's sweet 16 birthday so we had my husband and I, my son and 4 of my daughter's friends with us. All the kids were ages 15 - 17. The girls all stayed in the master bedroom with the roll out beds, my husband and I in the second bedroom and my son on the murphy bed in the laundry room area. Plenty of room for everybody!!! The pool and patio area are awesome! Plenty of seating around the pool, and has an outdoor shower. Ping pong table and corn hole games outside the pool screen enclosure AND hot tub too! The house is very easy to find, very, very easy walk to the beach. It was so nice because there is a shed on the side of the house with lots of equipment to use during your stay including beach chairs, a beach wagon, surf boards, skin boards, absolutely everything for the beach. The kitchen is chalk full of pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils and absolutely everything you need to prepare and cook your meals. There is a Kitchen Aid mixer available too! I was able to make my daughter's birthday cake while we were there. Full fridge and freezer, grocery store is minutes from the house. There are bath towels in all bathrooms and sheets and pillows, no need to bring your own. We will be back, we had an awesome weekend! Thank you!

We were worried beforehand about renting a small, 2bedroom, 2bath house for our family, consisting of 6 adults, 3 kids, ages 7, 5 1/2, 3, and 8 month old baby, plus 2 large dogs! However, we loved loved the house, all the surfers history on all the walls, the wonderful pool, and super easy kitchen to cook/bake in!! The week was making memories to the max!!! Anyone…go for the Surf’s Up house, without a second thought!!! You won’t regret it!! And Melbourne beach was a super cute, fun beach town, with good restaurants, markets, hair salon for a “chop chop off” of several inches of hair!
