Historic Significance of Melbourne Beach’s Sea Turtle Habitat: Melbourne Beach is renowned for its critical role as a nesting ground for sea turtles, particularly loggerhead, green, and leatherback turtles. Since the 1970s, conservation efforts in the area, spearheaded by organizations like the Sea Turtle Conservancy, have protected these ancient mariners, with Melbourne Beach hosting one of the highest densities nesting sites in the Western Hemisphere. The Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1991 just south of Melbourne Beach, spans 20.5 miles of coastline and safeguards vital habitats for these endangered species. Guests at Good Vibrations may witness the majestic sight of hatchlings emerging from nests between July and October, a testament to decades of dedicated preservation efforts that have made this region a cornerstone of global sea turtle conservation. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42680000/42679100/42679029/8314644c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sea Turtle Suite 2, Oceanfront boutique cottage at Serenity in Melbourne Beach!

Lounging on the patio was like sitting right on the beach and coffee at the wooden bar watching the sunrise is priceless. It was cooler while we were there and the grape trees offered a break from the breeze while still enjoying the sun and view. The property is close to shops, Publix, and Sebastian Inlet and offers everything you need for a home away from home. We can't wait to book our next stay! ##### Amber H.

Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Bungalow on the beach! The beds were all so comfortable and the view being on the beach was absolutely amazing! We hardly left the property, and there is a Publix 3 miles away. There are other houses around but not very many people on the beach because it’s not near a public access. We saw so many turtle in the water and coming on shore every day, there are tracks all over each morning. There isn’t a dish washer (except my hubby haha) but we just got extra paper plates etc to help with clean up. The only “negative” feedback I have is that the fans all need a good cleaning! And the front door needs a latch up high for small children so that it can’t be opened so easily. Thankfully our daughter is almost three and although she opened it easily even when it was locked she thankfully isn’t an escapee! We had the most amazing, laid back week. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with others! We even left a few ocean puzzles behind for others to enjoy. We would definitely suggest longboards for dinner or lunch, the salty bagel every day for breakfast and iced coffee, and Bizzarro pizza! All within 20 min of the property! ![View from the back deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eede7ebc-8ec2-404a-9caa-19765328deba-1750642592080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32cd782c-b56e-4c10-bfa9-3555655ca702-1750642591825.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Turtles!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90cf2cd3-1dd3-4e1f-8219-f41edc2e6346-1750642590867.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef414247-6152-40f4-bfee-36ad4462670c-1750642591684.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amber V.

It’s right on the beach, we watched a Space X launch, and a mama sea turtle built a nest right next to the house. Sea kayaks included, several kites you can fly, beach games. This property offers a lot! One drawback was the air unit in the back bedroom isn’t working well. It blows just as much hot air as it does cold and the temp stayed around 84. The blind at the kitchen table needs to be darker. Even with the shade closed, a lot of light spilled over onto the dunes ##### Julia L. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Reubin M. Jun 28, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Some good, some bad Loved the location on the beach! The house itself could use some updated furniture and a better cleaning in between guests. We had a bug infestation on the second day in the kitchen even with washing everything everything right after use. I would recommend this property for families of 3 for the comfiest stay as the 3rd bed is not the best comfort in the back of the house. ##### Reubin M.

Nov 13, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Not for big families The view is beautiful but the house is very small and the parking is tricky. Looks spacious but is actually not easily navigated. House is old and dated. Does not have central A/C and the plumbing fixtures could use some work. We had an ant problem but the manager told us that was likely due to all the rain. I like this area of Florida and if the house was renovated it would be a real jewel. ##### Bryan M.

This property had everything our family of four needed to enjoy a week on the beach. The three bedrooms and two full bathrooms were great. Kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals (used the grill a few times too). Even enjoyed the living room television the night it was storming outside. We used the beach chairs and umbrellas daily. Enjoyed the boogie boards and sand toys as well. There were adult life jackets (we had brought two for our daughters). Sunscreen and bug spray are a must. We were there in late July and had loggerhead and green turtles come up every night to nest. Even got to see baby turtles hatching. This was our first beach house rental (historically had stayed in hotels) - I don't think we'll ever stay at a beach hotel again; this rental far surpassed our previous hotel experience. ##### Amy P.

Everything we wanted with an amazing Ocean view. The property was as described. It was well stocked with everything needed for a beach vacation. Communication with the owner was awesome, we did have an issue with someone running over the trash can we put out on Saturday, sad. But I contacted the owner and she assured me everything was ok. Thank you Janice! The rooftop deck was not available for us to use, however it was not missed as the view from the patio was enough. I was totally amazed by the number of Sea Turtles we saw, they were huge!! One thing that I think, on a personal note, was that the couch was very deep not easy for my short stature. With "Good Vibrations", we have found our new location for are Annual Sisters Vacation!!! ##### Janice L. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dianne R. Jun 26, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### By the Seashore A cute, eclectic cottage (which is exactly as advertised) that is supplied with everything needed for a stay at the beach. We enjoyed an absolutely marvelous 2 weeks here. We watched the sunrise in the morning, lunched on the beach and had dinner on the glass topped table built on the lower deck. The upper deck provides a terrific view and a couple of chairs to enjoy it. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed in the master (the only one we used) very comfortable. The cottage was clean and welcoming, the surf boards adding a fun feature to the living room. The beach is quiet and lovely. There were never more than literally a handful of folks as far as you could see. We loved checking out the turtle tracks in the morning. We cooked most nights but did get take out from the Cafe Coconut Cove one night and it was delicious. We are leaving this morning but so hope we will have the opportunity to return to this peaceful oasis. We loved it! ##### Dianne R.

This is a traditional Florida beach house, decorated in a beautiful and whimsical fashion! Surfboards hang from the ceilings w/ beachy decor everywhere. There is a beautiful patio overlooking the beach w/both sun and shade, an observation deck up above w/the same amazing view, and a stairway directly onto the sand. The view is absolutely stunning and will be evident as soon as you open the front door. We found the kitchen to be well stocked and a full tank of propane with grill outside. Also to note is a good sized front yard w/flowers and coconut palms and sweet little patio. It is set back from the road much more than most properties in this area, giving it a more secluded feel. This is a "less touristy" area, away from Spring Breakers, etc. You may find that you often have a good portion of the beach to yourself. All in all, just a beautiful and authentic beach cottage that we hope to return to as often as possible! ##### David B. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel W.

We fell in love with the house and Melbourne Beach our 1st stay and new we would be back! We were sorry to see the devastation caused by recent storms to the back of the home :( We really enjoyed the outdoor dining area that is no longer there as a result. It would have been appreciated to have been given a heads up about the construction next door and the loss of the outdoor dining area…however it did not take away from our enjoyment. We missed having the seclusion that the treed lot (which has been purchased and is under construction) provided. It had a very tropical secluded feel which is just non existent now. With that being said…the home is still just as charming and fully stocked with all the amenities a person/family could need!! My boys loved the board and sand toys provided. Which we appreciated as well.. Everything you needed..chairs, umbrellas, toys and more were provided! You literally just need a toothbrush and a change of clothes and your supplied with the rest you’ll need for a great getaway! Thank you again for sharing this beautiful space and allowing us to create these wonderful memories with our kids! ❤️ ##### Rachel W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henry S.

It will have everything you will need for a good time at the beach with your family or traveling alone like I did. The home was impeccably clean and came with so many extras. Very effective air conditioning in every room. Very nice ceiling fans keep the inside environment exactly where you want it. It even had a little fireplace and space heaters if you needed them during the winter time. It may have even had other heating in the home, I was there during the summer. A very well stocked kitchen with pots and pans and strainers and utensils galore. Coffee mugs, plateware, placemats, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, I could go on. The place was very well stocked. Washer and dryer worked very well. The bedrooms had very comfortable beds. One bed was firm the other was soft, I never tried the 3rd one! But really what matters about this house is nothing that I have mentioned so far. What matters here is YOUR VIEW! Holy Mackerel. You will enjoy it! The Sunrises are STELLAR. The beach is PERFECT and there was almost nobody else anywhere near me on the beach during my entire week stay in September of 2022. This place is very private. Turtles came to nest EVERY NIGHT that I was there, right there on the beach, it was completely amazing. There were also hatchings of turtles at least twice while I was there. Because this place is in such a somewhat isolated area geographically, there are a good amount of bugs like sand fleas in particular which love to bite right at sunset and sunrise so just cover up or wear bug spray and you should be fine. I just wore sweat pants, socks and a long sleeved shirt and a hat. If you have exposed skin they will eat you alive in a short amount of time. During the day, the bugs were not bad at all. There are friendly crabs, and all kinds of birds in the area. I did see some brown Pelicans patrolling the beach line also an Osprey or 2 and lots of seal gulls and other neat sea birds. The water was warm and the waves were mostly calm. The sun rises were the best for me. Thank you SO much for letting me stay here! The property manager, I think her name is Christine, was EXTREMELY kind and very helpful and completely responsive to every question I had and she even managed to help me extend my stay for one additional night and she took care of everything. She even made a visit out to the home to answer some questions I had about the area and all. A++ I will be back here soon! Thank you again! WOW. ##### Henry S.
