About this property

Sea Turtle Suite 2, Oceanfront boutique cottage at Serenity in Melbourne Beach!

Enjoy an uncrowded private beach with fresh ocean air breezes and Atlantic Ocean surf sounds.
The Sea Turtle suite 2 is one of three units on the property, depending on the size of your group and availability it possible to book 1, 2, or 3 units. (Each individually listed: 1801670 and 1814356)
This beautiful, quiet 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom beachfront suite has everything you need for a perfect family vacation or warm getaway from the cold. Only steps away from the warm sand, ocean and the sea turtles, this property has backyard and deck with your own private beach. "Serenity Beach" is situated on a half acre in a very quiet and secluded spot in Melbourne Beach. (We have an additional twin blow-up bed in unit if traveling with a party of 5)
Start your morning with a great breakfast in fully equipped kitchen with the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean sunrise and spend the days relaxing by the sea or surfing. Sip your coffee or favorite beverage as you relax to the sounds of the ocean waves and pelicans flying over head.
"Serenity Beach" located in the heart of Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge. Every year these beaches are nesting grounds for thousands of loggerhead, green, and leatherback turtles. It is one of the few places in the world where all three species lay their eggs. There are more than 140 species of birds, the refuge is a stop over for many migratory birds. See amazing sea-life from the deck: dolphins, whales, and tarpon.
This location is amazing with nature all around and yet you are less than 2 hours from all the Orlando theme parks, 35 miles to Kennedy Space Center, and 30 miles to cruise ship center at Port Canaveral. Publix supermarket is 2 miles away and there are plenty restaurants, bars, shops, surf shops, boat rentals, state parks, golf, tennis and bike shops all with in 15 minutes drive.
The backyard has a great paver pathway and patio with tiki hut and outdoor dining table, with expansive ocean views. We also have charcoal and gas bbq grills. Relax sipping your favorite drink, while listening to the sounds of the waves.
We use CDC guidelines to ready and disinfect the suite with special attention to high touch areas like door knobs, counter tops, light switches and chairs. We also have antiviral and antibacterial disinfectants like Lysol under the sink for your personal use during your stay. In addition we utilize self check in and check out with no
person-to-person contact.
We are dog friendly and love traveling with our dogs also. We allow dogs for $100 fee up to 2 dogs. Always use a leash, pick up, respect neighbors. County ordinance does not allow dogs on the beach.

Really Great Property

Very clean and comfortable home with all of the amenities. The location is on a really busy road but you can’t hear it inside the house or on the back patio. The beach is really clean and not filled with many people. We rode bikes everywhere as there is a nice path alongside the road. We would stay again.

Great Place

This was our third time staying at Serenity Beach. Needless to say we love it. Very clean, well equipped with lots of little extras. Great location on one of the best beaches in Florida. We rent two of the three units for a family get together. Hosts are wonderful. Highly recommend this place.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay to celebrate our anniversary. The private beach was my favorite. Everything was great. The host provided a cooler, beach bag, towels, chairs and umbrella. There are tons of restaurants nearby and a Publix down the road. Will definitely be back.

Perfect family getaway

We had a truly wonderful time at Serenity Beach. The place is the best rental home we have ever stayed at- we plan to return and rent out all three units for our family! The unit has everything you could need and more. The proximity to the ocean simply can't be beat! So so beautiful and we even got to see baby sea turtles making their way back to the ocean- such a fun and special treat for our toddler. Thank you!!

Perfect location!

We loved this getaway. Everything was as expected and described. After spending several days with active grandchildren, it was nice to have some quiet time walking this beautiful beach and listening to waves crashing on shore whole falling asleep at night. Our one regret - we didn't stay longer, but we will next time. John and Jackie

Perfect Location

My mom and I really enjoyed our time at the Sea Turtle Suite. Everything was decorated just as you’d hoped your beach getaway would be. Dean and Patricia were great hosts. They have the unit stocked with everything you could possibly need. Publix is 5 minutes away and shopping is just another 5 minutes up the street from Publix. There’s so many things to do in the area, but if you just want a quiet place to chill on the beach this is the place! We can’t wait to come back. Thank you D&P for sharing this beautiful spot 🥰☀️

Serenity Beach

We had a fabulous time at Serenity Beach. The property is wonderful, inside and out. The units are updated and have everything you could want or need. It’s like being at home…but being away. Met the owner one day, he was great to communicate with and answered all questions we had. Will definitely be back. This place is a little piece of heaven.

Couldn’t ask for better

Once again we had a fabulous time at this property. Last year we stayed in unit 3 which was wonderful, and this year we did unit 2 (and loved this one so much!). Impeccably clean, easy and quick communication if needed, seamless entry access to unit, and well appointed with everything you need to start off your vacation. We just love everything about staying here and always meet the sweetest neighbors who are enjoying vacation as well. Highly recommend if you’re coming to the area for the first time….and we can’t wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Dean LaGala

Host profile image
We grew up in Florida: my wife, Patricia in Port Charlotte and I, Dean in Ft. Lauderdale. We both lived in Gainesville, Go Gators! We had had our 2 children in Boca Raton and lived there for 12 years. We moved here to Melbourne Beach in 2012 because I have been surfing these beaches for more than 30 years and always loved what the area offers for our family!

We own another vacation rental called "The Beach Shack" (VRBO:1393715) in the nearby town of Indialantic.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves as you sip your coffee on the deck, viewing the spectacular ocean sunrises! Serenity Beach is ideally located in Brevard County between the cruise ships in Port Canaveral to the north and beautiful south beaches of Sebastian Inlet State Park. If all systems are GO, you could witness a Kennedy Space center rocket launch from your own beach.
Situated on the barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon with nature abound, it's easy to spot pelicans flying overhead, dolphins, and sometimes manatees! Depending on the time of year, connect with one of mother natures unique events during turtle nesting season, March thru October. The beaches here are one of few in the world that have three species of turtles lay their eggs at night and early morning hours, then the hatchlings emerge to start their life journey. The loggerhead, the huge leatherback and the green turtles have been using these beaches for millions of years, it is a very special event to witness but never touch or disturb them with lights. These turtles are protected by law and by the locals.
The small sleepy towns of Melbourne Beach and Indialantic hold many events: art shows to Founder's Day! There is plenty to do if you want. If you like fishing you can get your gear at nearby Black Dog bait shop and try your luck surf fishing, off the pier at Sebastian Inlet state park or local boat charters. If you like golf there is nearby Spessard Holland or Aquarina Country Club.
