Coconut is perfect for a romantic getaway, a family getaway or an escape from the cold. From March 1 - October 31 is sea turtle nesting time - a wonderful experience to witness.

Parking is open and allows a max of 2 cars per cottage for guests. There is off street parking for a guest if you want to have one.

You are welcome to bring a pupper (no cats, I'm sorry) as long as they are 35 pounds or under, not aggressive and you keep waste picked up. We will consider two smaller furbies with a combined weight under 50 pounds. There is a $150 non-refundable fee. Please tell us when you book your breed and weight.

There are 2 cottages on the property both with privacy fencing, private decks and beach area as well as private entrances (not close to each other). You do not share any common spaces - you only share the large parking area.

Coconut is a non-smoking property.

There are 2 cottages on the property but the only area you share with Seagrape (the other cottage) is parking. You have your own beach entry, deck, outside shower and there are vacant lots on either side of us so you have lots of privacy and beach area. You can park 2 cars in the parking area. If you would like to have daytime visitors with cars, please be in touch so that we can coordinate with you and the other guests.

- We are on a septic system here so if you could please be sure to keep as much sand outside as possible, shake your towels out and rinse sand off outside rather than in the shower, I'd be very grateful.

- Here in Melbourne Beach area, like most of Florida we have little biting critters called No Seeums rather than mosquitos, they are sort of like mosquitos, and they might come out, but a trick to keep them out of the house is to put vinegar in a bowl, put a little dish soap in it, stir it up and put it by the door. Put one inside and one outside. They will be attracted by the vinegar and stick because of the soap.

There are 2 cottages on the property but the only area you share with Seagrape (the other cottage) is parking. You have your own beach entry, deck, outside shower and there are vacant lots on either side of us so you have lots of privacy and beach area. You can park 2 cars in the parking area. If you will have daytime visitors with cars, please be in touch so that we can coordinate with you and the other guests.

-If you need to have a 3rd car, the street that is directly across A1A can be used for off street parking. You can also check with me to see if the guest in the other cottage has only one car and if so, we can organize for you to have 3 on the drive.

-March 1 – October 31 is turtle nesting season. The turtles are a protected species so there are very simple but important rules to follow during this period especially because hurricanes Ian and Nicole took away many nests so this year is super important to them.

It is very important that the drapes on windows that are on the side or across the back are closed at night so that light does not show onto the back, it confuses both the turtles and the babies so they end up on the highway or yard instead of the water.

-Please also make sure all the porch lights in front and sides are off at night. The back porch light is disabled. At night please keep the kitchen light off when you are not using the kitchen.

-Please don’t walk on or dig in the dunes, that is where turtles nest, instead take the steps (or path) down to the flat beach.

-Watch for nests in the dunes if you accidentally get into them, they look like little craters. The county does mark some of them, but only 1 out of every 10 so we all must keep an eye out.

**Do not leave anything on the beach or on the dunes at night.**
