    Have a dog or service dog? No worries! They are invited too.

We allow one or two dogs that have a combined weight less than 60 Lbs. We request your pet does not go in the master bedroom as it has thick pile blue carpet, and if you take them to the beach or on a outing that you bathe them and dry them prior to re-entering the kabana.

Your own private getaway

This place is the best! You feel like you're on your own private island with all the beautiful greenery and the sand pit!. Kelen has thought of everything! You just need to pack your swimsuit and that's it. She provides everything you could possibly need and even suggests great food options and provides you a map to get around on the golf cart, which was another great added perk. Absolutly nothing to complain about! We loved it and would recommend for everyone to stay here and will be back for another getaway! See you soon Kelen!

The Kabana is a wonderful retreat. Very private, nice neighborhood and very well maintained. The owner has gone to great lengths decorating this place so visitors feel comfortable and relaxed after their stay. The place is well stocked with everything you will need. The shower is to die for.

Great Stay At Melbourne Beach

A fantastic stay at Kelena’s Kabana! The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Wonderful goodies provided on arrival (donuts and fresh fruit). The outside space was great and the pool was fantastic. The area is unspoilt and very relaxed. Highly recommended! Thanks very much

Winter Escape

A private, peaceful and beautifully landscaped property that provided the winter escape we needed from cold weather. The warm, fragrant air was the first thing I noted when we parked our car in the guest spot. The Kebana was well supplied with everything we needed for our stay and within walking distance to the beach and golf course. Comfortable accommodations and spa shower. If the weather had been better we definitely would have used the outdoor grill and kitchen with a sitting area in the Florida sand. Hosts were very responsive when needed and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Spectacular Hosts

There is nothing the hosts didnt think of to make this an amazing stay. The property is beautifully dercorated and has every ammenity you could possibly need or want. The hosts live on the property and are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Kelen left us a welcome basket of Florida oranges to make fresh squeezed juice and cute beach themed doughnuts. Our dog was traveling with us and was very welcomed. The property is in a great location to great dinning options and is within walking distance to the beach. We will 100% stay here again if we are back in the area.

Peaceful and fun

We had a family of four stay for 4 nights. Highly recommend the golf cart to cruise to beach or downtown. We had a great time exploring Melbourne Beach, Cocoa Beach and even St. Augustine one day. We went to local mass, beach, played disc golf, breweries, sports bars for march madness games, etc. The house was perfect. 4 days was max for family of 4 because a little tight but if only 2 we would have stayed a week. We took advantage of outdoor space with grill and fire pit. Even make fresh squeezed OJ in the mornings. Nice spot!

Everything and More

Kelena's Kabana was a wonderful and unique retreat for us while we were visiting our son. This unit was super cute, private, and stocked with everything you could imagine you might need. Gary and Kelen were so friendly and accommodating and made you feel welcome. The patio and pool area were a beautiful spacous extension of the indoors. We utilized the fire pit, outdoor kitchen and patio every day! The Kabana is very pet friendly and the patio, outdoor kitchen, firepit, and dog potty area are fenced in to keep your pet with you while you are enjoying the outdoors. A highlight of the week was being able to take the golfcart to the beach and around town. It was so convenient to get to the beach, or to watch the sunset from the Melbourne Beach Pier or Ryckman Park. We had a wonderful stay and made some great memories!

Great Property!

My husband, , two granddaughters (ages 4 &7), two boys ( pets) and I had a wonderful stay at Kelena’s Kabana. Gary and Kelena couldn’t have been any nicer! We spent days on the beach, at the pool and drove to Orlando a couple of days to visit the parks while we visited Melbourne. The boys enjoyed evening rides on the golf cart & we loved having the use of it to go to and from the beach. It helped keep our car clean & virtually sand-free. We even got to see a rocket launch while visiting. The outdoor kitchen area was a nice place to cook and enjoy our meals & it kept the house from getting hot while preparing meals. The fire pit was a nice touch & was great for enjoying s’mores with the kids. Kelena and Gary have put so much thought into what one might need while staying there and have taken the comfort of their guests seriously. The kabana was well stocked and so organized! We very much enjoyed our stay and will certainly visit again!

An absolute delight

Seldom do you rent holiday accommodation that feels like a home away from home but this one is absolutely that.Everything that you think you need, but always forget to bring, was provided and Kelen had thought of literally everything.The Kabana was exactly as described and quite honestly the pictures didn’t do it justice it was quite something.The pool and outside spaces were lovely and we used and enjoyed them nearly every day of our 4 week stay. The bikes provided were a lot of fun and the neighbourhood is entirely safe to cycle around which again we enjoyed daily.We never did get round to using the golf cart as we had rented a car for the duration, but we would probably think of using it as an alternative on our next visit as the neighbourhood is ideal for its use and it would make a huge saving financially should we decide to take advantage of its use.Kelen and Gary were lovely and we enjoyed meeting them and they were most welcoming. Their policy is to remain invisible while you are there so that you can enjoy the property as though it were your own. We did however enjoy their company when we did meet up and have come away with the feeling that we met and made a couple of firm friends that we will stay in touch with.We would definitely book again and would have no hesitation in recommending others to do so.

The place is beautifully decorated and spotless; the kitchen is well-stocked. We enjoyed meeting the sweet owners who were very communicative prior to and during our stay.

It is located right in the middle of some amazing beaches. If you’re looking for a small town feel vacation, this is your place. The locals are incredibly friendly and will help will any of you needs.

Beautiful, Relaxing and Fun!

We had a phenomenal time staying at Kelena’s Kabana! It was the perfect size for our family of 3 and beautiful inside and out. Everything was super organized and clean - and for folks who traveled in on a plane all of the extras were very much appreciated (beach towels, linens and bath towels, toiletries and kcups, beach chairs, etc)! The outdoor kitchen area is amazing. We were close to the beach and utilized the golf cart to drive there (so fun!) We hung out at the beach, the pool at the Kabana, and spent a day at the Kennedy Space Center (very much recommend)! We also ate a lot of good food - Nini’s Cuban Cuisine, Squid Lips, Little Dos, Sand on the Beach, and for breakfast we liked Sunnyside Cafe. Good ice cream at Moo’s Soft Serve. We will 100% be staying at Kelena’s Kabana again in the future!
