About this house rental

Enter your relaxing tropical vacation home at Watkin’s Heiau, and welcome to tiki-temple life. Enjoy the Polynesian flare throughout our open floor plan, with 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths. Lose yourself in the outdoor Hawaiian ambiance! Feel free to use the pool, hot tub and games during your stay, and explore what Melbourne has to offer. We are just minutes away from downtown, only 6 miles to the beach, less than 3o minutes from the softball stadiums, and an hour away from Orlando Airport and theme parks! This is a 3 bedroom house with two living rooms, a full kitchen, interior laundry room, plus an additional Florida room with daybed. We have the ability to sleep a total of 8 guests (note, there is an extra charge for guests over 6). The master bedroom has a firm temperpedic mattress, the spare has a pillow-top Full mattress, and the second spare and daybed have standard spring mattresses. There is an extra futon mattress that can be used as a pillow top on any of the full or queen beds. We also have a variety of pillows throughout the property, so you can choose which bedding setup works best for each guest for your stay! The pool is maintained by a professional company twice a week, so please understand depending on check in days the condition upon arrival will vary slightly. The pool is not heated, but generally water temperature stays around 70-80 degrees from the direct sunlight, depending on the time of year. The freestanding hot tub is heated year round. We do have a beautiful amount of foliage in the back yard, which blooms amazing pink and purple colors in season, and may also cause leaves and flowers on the deck and pool. The front yard is also a complete foliage design, so you may also see some geckos and other outdoor wildlife enjoying the trees and flowers as well. And don't worry, we do also have a regular pest control service to keep critters out of the house! Florida is hot and humid just about year round, but especially in the summertime! We do have a brand new central AC unit, but guests do not have direct control of the thermostat at the property, to prevent complications with the machine. However, we do our best to accommodate all guest requests and can set the property to your preferred temperature before or after arrival. We do provide a basic supply of toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc, but guests are responsible for additional replenishments throughout their stay. We also provide basic bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and soap in the showers. We have a variety of games, pool toys/floats, and beach umbrellas, towels, and chairs. Guests also have full use of the laundry machines and parking in the two car garage to park during their stay.

We thought the house overall was nice. There were issues of leaves in the pool from a recent storm, I'm guessing. Spa tub was dood ghe first couple of days then chlorine level went high. I contacted spa people & was told they were sending someone to drain spa. They never showed. But even given those issues, I plan to stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in Melbourne. This home was neat and clean and just what we needed. Spacious pool area with hot tub that we enjoyed every day. Close proximity to anything/ everything we needed. In a lovely residential area that was quiet and accessible. The owners were easy to reach with any concerns/ questions and promptly responded when needed. This place was fantastic. Highly recommend.

The house and neighborhood were acceptable, but the major reasons we booked this property were the patio and the hot tub. Upon arrival, we found the hot tub to be grossly dirty and cold. The property managers did drain the hot tub and put in new water, but the tub and cover were foul smelling and really need to be sanitized. The water remained cloudy, and it never heated above 85-degrees. We were told by the property manager that it was because it was unseasonably cold in Melbourne. We've had hot tubs in Maine and Northern Arizona and never had an issue keeping them at 102-degrees. The patio and its furniture were so dirty that we had to clean the table and chairs before we were comfortable using them. We are waiting to hear from the owners about our requested refund. Based on our experience, we would not stay at this property again.

We recently stayed for a second time at this property for Labor Day Weekend 2022. Our initial visit in August 2020 was wonderful and we were excited to return. The hosts are very responsive and made booking and check-in seamless. During our stay, we were less impressed with the cleanliness of the property as there were bugs in the coffee maker (which we did not need to use thankfully), small bits of trash in the living room floor and next to the pool, and the hot tub heater was not working. Having owned a rental property ourselves in the past, we overlooked these small inconveniences during our stay and only alerted the owners about the hot tub upon check out to ensure the next guests had a fully functioning hot tub. However, upon return home, we were notified via email by the insurance company (not the owners) through which we purchased the required coverage for our stay that a claim was made on our behalf for damage incurred during our stay; damage we did not do. It was noted that the DVD player was broken (we did not use this), damage done to a wall behind the recliner (which I noted during our stay was there upon arrival), and damage to a curtain rod (again, not our doing). We attempted to communicate with the owners so that our name was not associated with this damage and they were not receptive. Unfortunately, due to this, I cannot recommend this beautiful property. We are sad to lose this as a vacation spot so close to home.
