About this house rental
The White House - Historic 2br Downtown Melbourne
The space
Stay in a little piece of history. Built in the early 1900's, this unique 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom family home was at one time where an old radio station was broadcasted and was also the former home of a Baseball player from the early 1900's.
The home is decorated with unique pieces and restored back to original charm. Equipped with all your essentials and conveniently located in walking distance to Downtown Melbourne and minutes from the beaches, Holmes Hospital, the Airport and much more!
When you arrive, you will park in the circle driveway. Walk up a few stairs onto the spacious covered front porch.
Inside has unique curved ceilings, a bright living room with large windows, a cozy wrap-around sofa and a 55" TV equipped with Roku TV. The kitchen is an open country-like setting with an eat-in area and is adjacent to the full dining room. The kitchen is bright with a full-size refrigerator, flat top stove/oven combo, dishwasher, Keurig machine and all your cooking essentials to enjoy home cooked meals during your stay. The eat-in kitchen seats 5 and the dining room seats 6.
There are two bathrooms both with showers and one with a tub/shower combo right next to each bedroom. The spacious master bedroom has a King size bed that has electric head and foot elevation and massaging. The other bedroom has a queen bed with an attached tub/shower combo bathroom.
There is a stackable washer and dryer in the pantry off the kitchen as well as 2 towels per bathroom and extra beach towels.
Additionally we offer a jogger stroller, pack and play, highchair and booster for babies and toddlers.

Great place to stay on vacation.

VRBO had technical difficulties from the minute I made this reservation, but the owner was very helpful. The house has lots of character, it is a short drive to the beach, downtown, and plenty of restaurants. We enjoyed our stay at the White House.

It’s very convenient to downtown and charming.
8.0 / 10.0
This home was perfect for our visit to attend Florida Institute of Technology graduation day. It's really close to the campus and the neighborhood is quiet. The home is beautiful and the space is so much better than a hotel and is comparable in price or better.
The host, Joe, answered concerns in a timely fashion. We did have a few things,and when we contacted him, he thanked us and said those issues would be addressed for future guests.
We would be willing to stay again if we are on the area for an event and are willing to recommend The White House in Melbourne.

I have been using Vrbo for several years and this property needs some updated furniture and a new key pad for entry. Usually there is an information booklet. For trash beach chairs comfortable living room furniture. The host Joe acted like I was lying about his data that he gave us. I was just disappointed and will look for other rentals next year. He told us a wrong password several times. We found the info on the refrigerator.

10.0 / 10.0
This property was clean and had everything we needed to have a fantastic mini-vacation in Melbourne. Everything was as described in the listing. Loved the country home feel. The host was responsive whenever we had questions, and promptly sent someone out to the house to help when one of us locked us out of the house by accident. The only negative was that the road in the neighborhood was a bit busier than anticipated, so there was a lot of car/motorcycle noise even throughout the night. Overall we give this stay 5 stars. Thanks!
