About this property
Tranquility Pelican Suite - Oceanfront Paradise!
Welcome to the Pelican Suite at Tranquility.
Located approximately halfway between Ocean Ave. in Melbourne Beach and Sebastian Inlet, (~4 miles south of the Melbourne Beach Publix), the Tranquility Pelican Suite is a completely remodeled and beautifully decorated one-bedroom apartment.
Just steps from a secluded private beach, you will quickly realize why we call this property Tranquility. Stay with us once, and we are sure you will want to return.
THE SPACE
The "Pelican Suite" is one of four 625 sqft one-bedroom apartments at Tranquility. The property is located on the east side of A1A, just a short walk through the grass and over our private wooden crossover to our secluded beach on the Atlantic Ocean.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Melbourne Beach is a quiet beach town with a small town feel. After visiting just once, I knew this is where I wanted to live and I relocated here in 2003.
Tranquility is located in the heart of the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge. This 20-mile stretch of beach provides the nesting habitat for approximately 25% of all sea turtles in the United States, with ~20,000 nest being laid here annually. This area is the #1 nesting site in the world for Loggerhead Sea Turtles. Thousands of Greens and a much smaller number of Leatherbacks and the occasional Hawksbill nest here as well.
A sea turtle turtle and track identification card can be found in the unit.
Once you arrive at Tranquility, you will feel like you are staying on a private beach and may not want to leave. Here are some distances to local places of interest:
Food and Supplies:
-The New England Eatery & Pub is approximately 500 feet away
-DeAngelo's by the Sea (Italian): .4 miles south
-Publix Shipping Center: 3.8 miles north
-There are many more dining option in Melbourne Beach, Indialantic, and Downtown Melbourne
Nearby Places of Interest:
-Maritime Hammock Sanctuary: 1 mile south
-Barrier Island Sanctuary: 5 miles south
-Ocean Ave in Melbourne Beach: 7.5 miles north
-Sebastian Inlet: 8 miles south
-5th Ave in Indialantic: 10 miles north
-Downtown Melbourne: 12 miles north
-Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge: 12 miles south
Airports:
-Melbourne International Airport (MLB): 15 miles
-Orlando International Airport (MCO): 75 miles
Hospital/Emergency Room:
-Holmes Regional Hospital in Melbourne: 13 miles
ADDITIONAL GUESTS
This unit is ideal for 2 guests, but a third can be accommodated with an inflatable queen-sized air mattress for an additional $25 per night.
CHILDREN
This property is NOT childproof by any means. We do not feel that is is suitable for young children who could hurt themselves or break things, but we will leave this decision to our guests' discretion. Older children will be fine.
PETS
This unit is dog friendly for a maximum of two dogs, on a case by case basis. We charge an $80 Pet Fee and also require an additional $500 security deposit to cover any potential damage. This deposit will be returned in full after confirming there is no damage to the unit after you checkout.
If you would like to bring a pet, please message us the breed and size of your dog, and confirm that you will never leave your dog unattended. Whenever you leave the house, your dog needs to leave with you.
This should go without saying, but please clean up after your dog. We have a Dog Waste Station conveniently located in the grassy area on the west side of the building.
LAUNDRY
In addition to this private one bedroom apartment, guests will have access to a shared laundry room. There are two washers and dryers available for guest use, and everything you need to do laundry is provided.
TV
Hulu + Live TV (for more than 65 live TV channels including local networks) is provided and will give you access to thousands of free movies and shows. You are also welcome to log in to any streaming services that you subscribe to (Netflix, Disney+, YouTubeTV and so on).
BBQ GRILLS
You are welcome to use our outdoor charcoal grills, but please note that housekeeping does not maintain these. Instead, we ask each guest to clean the grill for the next guest after each use.
PRICING
A note about pricing: You may notice that the daily rate fluctuates as you browse through my availability calendar. This is because I use a third-party software that automatically updates my listings' prices to ensure they remain competitive and stay BELOW the market rate for comparable properties in the area. Daily prices change due to season, hotel occupancy rates, last minute availability, and so on - basically supply and demand. It's a very nifty tool that ensures my prices are fair and leads to us having close to 100% occupancy all year long.
CANCELLATION POLICY/TRAVEL INSURANCE
Please take note of the cancellation policy posted on our website and message us with any questions prior to booking. We are running a small business and are not able to make exceptions to this policy to provide refunds beyond the Cleaning Fee if you are unable to stay with us and need to cancel your reservation within 30 days of your arrival date for any reason, including any weather-related events, like hurricanes and red tide.
It is strongly recommended that you obtain Travel Insurance for your trip, in case any unforeseen circumstances happen which would lead to you cancelling your reservation. A simple online search for "travel insurance" will provide you with many options.
PESTS
We have regular preventative pest control services at all of our properties and very rarely see any bugs because of this, but this is Florida, and the occasional pest (or cute gecko/anole) could find its way inside. In the unlikely event that you do see a bug, we would be happy to send pest control to retreat the property (this is part of the service we pay for), but you will not be eligible for any type of refund because of this.
===============
HOUSE RULES:
===============
*Stays of 21 days or longer will receive additional complimentary cleanings every 14 days or so. We will work with you to arrange a convenient time for our housekeepers to enter the unit.
-No unauthorized guests: Only those on the reservation are allowed on the property.
-Do not tamper with or obstruct the outdoor security cameras in any way.
-Absolutely no smoking or vaping inside or near the building.
-Do not move any furniture.
-Do not view or download any illegal content via WiFi.
-Please wash all dirtied cookware and start the dishwasher before you leave if necessary.
-Please clean up after your pet. There is a Dog Waste Station conveniently located in the grassy area on the west side of the building.
The above rules are in place for the safety, security, and comfort of our guests and the protection of the property. These should be straight-forward and easy to follow for 99% of guests. For those who choose to break the rules, please be aware of the following:
*Tampering with or obstructing any security camera will result in a $500 fee, and you will be requested to immediately vacate the premises with no refund.
*A fee of $500 will be assessed if there is any evidence of smoking (anything) inside the building.
*A fee of $100 per additional person will be assessed if additional visitors not on the reservation enter the property without prior approval, and you will be requested to immediately vacate the premises with no refund - THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO HAVE PARTY.
*A fee of $100 per animal will be assessed if you bring an unauthorized pet inside the building, and you will be requested to immediately vacate the premises with no refund.
*We do NOT ask guests to do any cleaning beyond the cookware/dishes/silverware they use during their stay. We do NOT ask people to clean, strip beds, wash towels, or take out the trash, but we do expect people to treat our property with respect. If the unit is left overly-dirty, to the point where it takes our housekeepers much longer than usual to clean, resulting in a higher fee charged to us, this fee will be passed on to the guest.
We have almost never had to take any of the above actions for any of our properties and certainly don't ever want to. Please follow our simple rules and don't trash the place, so everyone (you, the other guests in the building, our housekeepers, and your hosts) can have a 5 star experience. :)
LIABILITY
You as the guest shall indemnify and hold harmless the property host against any and all claims of personal injury or personal property damage or loss arising from the use of the premises, regardless of the nature of the accident, injury or loss. Also, expressly recognize that any insurance for property damage or loss which the host may have does not cover your personal property. Your agreement to stay on the premises represents your agreement to these terms.
