Nestled on Florida's east coast, Melbourne Beach is a coastal town known for its pristine beaches and serene atmosphere. Situated between the parties of Miami and the adventure of Orlando, Melbourne Beach offers a more zen approach to a Florida vacation. With its outstanding location, you can expect Melbourne Beach vacation rentals to feature picturesque views of the Atlantic Ocean, refreshingly peaceful streets, and a slower pace of life than neighboring Cocoa Beach.
During the summer months, Melbourne Beach vacation rentals are booked as guests come to enjoy the town's main attraction: Its stunning beaches. Bask in the sun, take a refreshing dip in the ocean, or indulge in a leisurely beach walk close to your Melbourne Beach rental. The area is also renowned for its bird watching opportunities, especially at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, located just north of the Kennedy Space Center. Additionally, Melbourne Beach offers an array of water sports: Try your hand at surfing, kayaking, or paddleboarding.
In the winter, Melbourne Beach transforms into a cozy retreat. While the temperatures may be cooler, the area still offers plenty to do. The adventurous might grab a rod and go fishing inshore or offshore, or explore the nearby nature reserves. For the relaxation enthusiast, the local shops, restaurants, and cafes that dot the Melbourne Beach area will offer plenty of distractions.

The choice between Cocoa Beach and Melbourne Beach ultimately depends on your preferences and what you want in a beach destination. Both have their own unique characteristics and attractions.
For example, Melbourne Beach is less crowded and includes more nature experiences than Cocoa Beach. On the other hand, Cocoa Beach provides one of the best surfing experiences on the East Coast. We recommend browsing our Melbourne Beach vacation rentals to discover lodging in either area.
Melbourne Beach doesn't have a boardwalk. Still, our vacation rentals in the area are just a short distance from the Indialantic Boardwalk and Seashore.
