All the Comforts of Home

It doesn’t matter why you weren’t able to carefully plan every minute of your vacation escape to Florida, but it does matter that you feel relaxed and comfortable during your stay, and our last-minute rentals will provide all the means to do just that. Living rooms are designed to be a comfortable space in which you can hang out, watch a little television, and maybe even take a nap on a lazy Tuesday afternoon. Bookshelves may be lined with books, movies, even board games for your entertainment delights, inviting you to spend more time at home relaxing and having fun. Dining rooms are where families gather, playing those board games, devouring meals created in our fully equipped kitchens, and sipping that first cup of coffee in the mornings and that last glass of wine each night.

Dine at Home or Take a Culinary Tour of the Town 

Fully equipped kitchens are an amenity you can fully take advantage of, or you can simply use those spaces to keep your wine and beer chilled, your coffee constantly brewing, and your leftovers reheated. We give our guests options, knowing that not every vacation budget is created equal and if you want to ease the strain on yours, of course you can make all your meals at home. But if you can, we do suggest that you take a culinary tour of the town, checking out the wonderful meals served at the restaurants we have listed below.

Breakfast and Lunch at Backwater, 1904 Municipal Lane in Melbourne

One of life’s greatest luxuries is a hearty meal at breakfast, and Backwater serves up our favorite Southern dishes. Open every day of the week from 8AM until 2PM, breakfast and lunch are served all day and include classic meals served with a Cajun twist. Their Bayou Benedict will change your life!

Lunch and Dinner at Melbourne Seafood Station, 2001 S Harbor City Boulevard in Melbourne 

You are in Florida, so of course you need to sample our sweet and fresh seafood, and Melbourne Seafood Station can be enjoyed with very little wait; even if you decide to visit on the fly, no reservations are needed. Everything on the menu will satisfy and delight but be sure to save room for our state dessert, a piece of authentic Florida Key Lime Pie.

This Way to the Beach

A Florida vacation would not be the same without some serious toes in the sand time and our beachfront rentals will add to the peace and serenity you will feel. Located just steps away from the white sands and turquoise waters you have been dreaming about, guests can greet each morning with a sunrise walk shoreside and end every day raising a toast to another spectacular sunset. Maybe you will enjoy fresh grilled fish on the patio while the roar of the surf plays background music and quite possibly in our beachfront homes with swimming pools, nighttime swims with salt air breezes helping you cool down even more.

Surf’s Up

Speaking of beach time, many visitors make their way to our sandy shores hoping to learn how to surf, and although it may take a little preplanning, most of the local surf schools are relatively easy to sign up for. EZ Ride Surf School is a family owned business with over 40 years of experience, and who knows? Learning to surf could become your newest obsession, encouraging you to return to our beaches again and again and again. You know you always have a place to stay with Happy Palm Stays!
