Paradise Found Indeed!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family and especially our dog. The beach was perfect - soft sand, beautiful ocean and view and direct access. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation in this little piece of paradise.

Paradise Found!

Julia was so easy to work with and the home is even better than the photos. The beach is gorgeous and uncrowded. This is a perfect spot to relax, read and watch the surfers. Sad to leave - sigh. Hope to do it again next year!

Short and Sweet

Only stayed one night. Arrived just before the approaching Hurricane Milton and had to leave. The Host and VRBO were more than helpful at relocating us to Savannah, Ga. Teeby Island home on the beach. We also were completely refunded. Outstanding service.

Fantastic house and host

The house looks and feels like all the pictures on the VRBO site. Julia (host) is honestly fantastic. Her responsiveness both virtually and on-site is unparalleled. Loved the house, the beach exposure, and honestly the limited retail and public options nearby which would otherwise perhaps result in a crowded area on the beach and road. Great stay!

Felt like home!

The moment you walk in you know this property is special. We loved our time at Paradise Found and other than a few appliance things, our stay, the house, and the communication with Julia was 10/10. She helped us find a sitter that was perfect. Thank you for allowing our furry family members to come along as well.

Peaceful house in a tranquil beach location

3rd time visitors still loving the house & yard. Julia's work to repair & replace after last years storms was really spot on. House is always clean, has anything we've needed, and has just such a spirit of comfort, warmth, and history. Without downplaying the house, the star of the show is the yard & beach area outside. Feeling hot?...sit under the trees. Feeling cold, sit in the open or down at the beach. Like the wind?...again head for the beach. Want some quiet/stillness?...stay up at the top of the yard shielded by the bushes/trees. The sleepy and tranquil location out-ranked our common interest in walkable food & drink spots. Love the place. No complaints.

Relaxing Beach Vacay

Easy to find, easy to check in. The first day there was a problem with a fan/light remote, but Julia’s husband Joe responded immediately to resolve problem. On 3rd morning there was no water pressure. Joe had the issue with the well pump resolved within 3 hours. Besides that, stay was great. Easy beach access with showers to rinse off afterwards. Cable and streaming TV worked well. Food delivery apps worked well and Publix was a short drive away. On day 4 saw a sea turtle finish laying her eggs at sunrise and saw a SpaceX launch on day 6. All in all, very satisfied with our stay.

OLD FLORIDA AT ITS BEST 💗

Our family loved Paradise Found! The location was spectacular, just steps from the very secluded Melbourne beach. Some days we were the only ones out there! The grassy area behind the house is extremely private & shaded & there are several chairs and a large umbrella to sit & take in the most amazing view of the ocean. We saw multiple sea turtles at night! A sight that never grew old! And the sunrises were breath-taking. The house itself is a GEM! So much love & care went into making sure each guest have all they need, beyond well-appointed in my opinion. And the decor is delightful, Old Florida meets modern comfort. We enjoyed each sitting area in the home and there were several to choose from. The beds were super cozy which isn't always the case at VRBO's. The outdoor showers were a great addition! Feels like you are showering in the jungle when you look up and see the native foliage! Thank you, Julia, for hosting us!

Awesome secluded beachfront cottage

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. Every morning we would have a beach walk with our dog (Max) to see the sunrise. It was amazing! Most of the time there were only us, or one or two friendly neighbors. Melbourne beach is not as wide as other space coast beaches, but it's so secluded that it feels like a beach belonging to ourselves. As difficult as it had been to stay focused while being tempted by the gorgeous view outside, we had encountered no issues with the internet while working out of the guest bedroom with the help of a desk lamp we brought over particularly for the purpose of WFH. Julia’s high level of responsiveness and exceptional hospitality made the stay perfect. Julia’s seafood store and restaurant recommendations all worked out wonderfully. Our experience with the Brassie Grill stood out particularly. Julia’s son, Brassie Grill’s new chef in town, prepared us a delicious dinner with fresh local fish sourced through his own supply chain! The restaurant staff were all friendly and accommodating – we got to eat outside with Max staying in his carrier, acting cute and quiet 95% of the time. Only wish there were a dishwasher. We hope to return next your!

Great spot!

Wonderful area. More residential so don’t expect shops nearby. We wanted a quiet week. House has so much character. Kitchen is small but well stocked with cooking equipment. Coffee bar with kettle and French press was a nice touch. Small ice maker did the trick.

Another great stay

This was our second month-long stay at Paradise Found. The house is perfect for us. We bring two dogs who are right at home. Also had our granddaughter and daughter-in-law visit. The private yard was enjoyed by all. The beach is quiet. We really enjoy the area and local restaurants. Julia is a pleasure to work with.

Picture perfect

We have stayed many times at Paradise Found and always had a wonderful time. It is just as the pictures show and it is always clean and comfortable. Our daughter and her family have heard us talking about the cottage for years and couldn't wait to join us this year. They couldn't wait to meet Julia and see for themselves what we have told them of our vacations there. The cottage is the perfect place to get away, it is private, quiet and only steps from the ocean. Book your stay, you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful Escape to Paradise

This was our first time in Melbourne beach and we quickly fell in love. The cottage was perfect for our family of four adults and one dog -- plenty of common space to enjoy but also plenty of areas for quiet when needed. We were extremely comfortable from the start. The house was thoughtfully outfitted with anything we could possibly need for our stay. The pictures don't do it justice! The backyard is a paradise in and of itself. The landscaping is tropical and lush, exuding an atmosphere of privacy and escape. The outdoor shower is a treat and we barely used the indoor one the entire week! The access to the beach is outstanding. It was wonderful that leashed dogs are welcome on the beach as we've stayed in other areas where we could not bring our dogs onto the sand. Our Bernese Mountain dog loved his early morning walks and joining us on the shore when the heat of the day died down. We were lucky enough to witness several baby sea turtles making their pilgrimage from their nest to the waves. We never saw the adult females but we saw their tracks to and from the ocean. We made plenty of use of the two bikes provided, enjoying the wide bike path along A1A along with local parks. Despite lots of research and plans for day trips, we loved the place so much we never went more than a few miles for food or supplies. Julia was a terrific and accommodating host and quickly responded to any questions both prior to and during our stay. We can't wait to return!

Fantastic low key place to stay. We appreciated the layout of the house which gave everyone opportunity to come together or chill on their own. Great place for dogs to run around. Access to the beach was amazing

Classic Florida Beach House

This house is perfect for us. The beach is quiet; ideal for fishing and walking the dogs. Whiteys Bait Shop has everything you need plus advice on local conditions. We did a guided trip with Brandon of Salt & Savagery. We caught numerous Snook and huge Redfish. Cafe Coconut Grove and the New England Pub are recommended. The house has everything you need. I’m particularly grateful for the electric bike tire air pump.

Quiet Getaway

The cottage is lovely. We spent our Christmas here, to unwind and unplug (however, the cottage does have internet). This is a quiet little spot on the beach, I can't imagine that there is ever a time of year that the beaches are "full". The grassy yard is great (take bug spray or a thermacell but it is the great outdoors!) The outdoor showers are wonderful, even on cooler nights. The bikes are brand new and ride like a dream. The King bed was firm but comfortable (we would rather firm than lumpy and worn out!). The kitchen is well stocked, and Julia had a nice welcome gift waiting for us when we arrived. We spent lots of time looking through shells on the beach for sea glass and sharks teeth, the beaches were smooth with sections of shells, and the tides changed this each day. There is a closet with some games and puzzles, and a well stocked book shelf for a cool rainy day. There were lots of good restaurants (5-30+ minutes away) that we checked out. And Publix has the best Key lime pies. Things to note: 1) The green egg has been updated to a larger model.(Yay!) 2) There currently is not an outdoor sink/fish cleaning station, maybe washed away with a storm? but we weren't there to fish. If you're looking for a quiet get away, this is your place. Thank you again for a wonderful and relaxing week.
