Mid-Century Oasis w/Game Room & Private Patio In The Heart Of Melbourne
A 1950's old-school experience! The living room has high wood ceilings that create a classic yet modern feel. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area invite shared meals, and the private patio surrounded by lush greenery. Nestled in a Floridan paradise, minutes from downtown, restaurants, and short drive to the beach.
Each room in the house has its own climate control so you can set the temperature according to your desire! (We have installed all new mini split air conditioning.)
For those of you with larger families, you can search for the attached (but separate) studio apartment located above the carport: PALM VIEW (Property #2068644). Only the driveway is shared.
This isn't just a house, it's a destination! Just 1 hr from Orlando. Situated next to Erna Nixon park with some of the most beautiful walking/biking trails in all of Florida!
Palm Point was built in 1950 by one of the founders of Melbourne Village. The design is unique with all the rooms exiting to an expansive porch loaded with casement windows for an excellent view. The home still carries its historic feel, yet with modern amenities. It is a natural park-like oasis in the middle of the city of Melbourne in coastal central Florida. Everyone loves Melbourne Village. It is one of the most sought out communities to live in all of the Space Coast! We have a playground and basketball court. The townspeople are extremely friendly and traffic is minimal. Many of the lots are a full acre with lots of large, mature trees.
It's just 7 miles to the beach, 30 minutes to Cocoa Beach, a few minutes to I-95, lots of dining options, Melbourne Square Mall, The Henegar Center for the Arts, FIT, Melbourne Airport, 2 movie theaters, lots of shopping, etc. You will find residents of the village out and about with their dogs, enjoying the beautiful trees, birds and tortoises. Nature lovers will appreciate the bird-watching (bald eagles, hawks, owls, and swallow tailed kites abound). Many wild rabbits and the back yard has 4 gopher tortoise holes, so they are out and about during the day as well. (They are a federally protected animal, so don't disturb/touch them.)
Personnel may be on premises to take garbage to the road or to do yard maintenance.

What an amazing property! The house appears recently remodeled and is very clean and fully functional!If you have a dog that likes to go on walks, the property is perfect. There are trails to walk seems every direction. And lastly if you’re looking for a complete feel of peace and privacy, but you still want to be close to retail food etc… This is the location.
The house was great with so much charm. Very comfortable for all 4 of us to stay. Very quit area, but only 5 minutes to stores and downtown Melbourne. Only 15 minutes to the beach and 35 minutes to Cape Canaveral where we saw a rocket launch. If I am every in the area we would defiantly stay here again.
Very nice and quiet location, one of the most peaceful we've ever stayed at. Nice and secluded, pretty area. The house is an older home with some quirky light switch layouts, but the A/C units provided a comfortable evening, the bathrooms were clean (great water pressure, especially in one bath!). There was a couple in the additional area above us, but they were very polite and quiet as well as friendly when we chatted once. Very nice to be so close to family as well as places to eat and visit. Great stay!
Loved the charm of the house with updated amenities. Hosts were so friendly and responsive. Would recommend and would return if we find ourselves in Melbourne again.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for the review!
Family stayed at the property while home repairs were being made. The property is clean and very comfortable. The kids enjoyed the outdoor area for running and playing. All in all a great stay.
Very private and peaceful home! The location is central to shopping and restaurants and close to the Indian River and beaches, but located in a park-like setting surrounded by trees, providing a very serene stay. Indoor and outdoor games provided entertainment for young and young-at-heart alike. The homeowners were very responsive. I would definitely stay again!
We found the property just as described. It had plenty of room for our group and we enjoyed it very much! The grounds were so pretty and we were excited that the Night Blooming Serenea chose our visit to bloom. It was gorgeous

So glad you were able to see the Night Blooming Serenea! We are jealous that we were out of town. Take case and hope you get to visit again. Jonathan and Carrie
The setting is Old Florida amidst beautiful tropical gardens and palm trees. The house is very charming and comfortable, and our family members all said their beds and showers were very comfortable. We also rented the studio above the carport and that was so nice for a quiet place to sleep in and sip coffee out on the upstairs patio.
We will definitely come back again!

Thanks Sonia. It was nice to have you! Hope the renovation is going well.
What an amazing property. The first word that comes to mind when describing it is tranquil. It's located in the heart of Melbourne close to everything but you would never guess that stepping out into the incredibly landscaped yard. The home was incredibly welcoming and we would definitely book another stay!

Kyle, We are so glad you could stay and glad you enjoyed the stay! You are welcome back any time. Thanks! Jonathan and Carrie
We had an amazing time over the thanksgiving weekend. The house was very interesting as it was quite old, nicely upgraded, but still has the charm and features of the period. There were plenty of rooms both inside and out! The outdoor space was very peaceful, nice walking trails, would definitely rent again.

Thanks Julie! So glad you enjoyed your stay! The back patio is completed now, so you'll have to come back. :)
This home was so incredibly unique and cozy! We were able to host a baby shower here and it couldn't have been more perfect! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need, the rooms are all comfy and have individual AC units for your own comfort. It was just the perfect choice for our family stay. The owners were so excellent with communication and understanding as well. We couldn't have asked for a better place to have our family gathering.

We've been renting another property in Maine for 20 years and bought this historic property and renovated it trying to keep as much original as possible giving it a 1950's feel with modern amenities. We live just down the street and take pride in helping you have a great experience!
Why they chose this property
It's an awesome property and an incredible location! We could rent it easily to long terms tenants, but we like the flexibility of using the place ourselves and for family.
What makes this property unique
A one-acre tropical paradise that is secluded! The backyard doesn't have a house in sight.
