About this property

Waterfront Townhome: Dolphins, Manatees & Kayaks near Eau Gallie Arts District

  • Wake to dolphins and manatees gliding past on Elbow Creek, a sheltered channel off the Indian River Lagoon and one of Florida's most biodiverse estuaries. Its brackish mix of salt and fresh water draws remarkable wildlife right to your doorstep, so there's always something to watch from the private back patio or the balcony off the master bedroom.

    Escape to this stunning 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath waterfront townhome in the gated Elbow Creek community, sharing a property line with Waterline Marina next door. Sip your morning coffee on the private deck as the sun comes up and the boats head out, then spend the day on the water or exploring the Space Coast.

    ON THE WATER
    Two kayaks with life vests are included, stored in the garage and ready whenever you are — paddle out to explore the estuary and get close to the dolphins, manatees, and birdlife. Prefer to stay on land? Fish and watch the wildlife from the community pier, or watch the boats come and go at Waterline Marina, right next door, from your balcony.

    THE HOME
    Everything is set up for you to relax the moment you arrive. The kitchen is ready to cook in, fully equipped down to the spices. Smart TVs are in both bedrooms and the living room, and beach towels are provided for your days on the water and the coast. Impact-rated hurricane doors keep the interior quiet and secure — modern, comfortable, and easy from the moment you walk in.

    THE LOCATION
    You're a short stroll from the Eau Gallie Arts District, with its galleries, boutiques, waterfront dining, and year-round events — and just minutes by car from Space Coast beaches, the causeways, and downtown Melbourne. Ideal for couples, small families, or solo travelers looking for a peaceful waterfront escape.

    Come enjoy your waterfront hideaway — this is Life on the Water.

Very clean, beautiful townhouse loaded with everything needed for our eight day stay. We enjoyed morning breakfast on the patio while watching the dolphins swim in the river daily. The short drive to Melbourne area beaches and Space Coast Park made this a perfect place for us. There were more household items provided at this location than any other VRBO we have stayed in. Would definitely recommend this place to friends.

This home is a beautiful property located directly on the water where you will be able to watch dolphins, manatees and several varieties of birds right from the patio. The kitchen was fully stocked. The bathrooms as well as there were towels, washcloths, shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap provided. Steve, the host, was friendly and easily accessible. Would stay here again!

This place truly felt like a home away from home. It’s beautifully decorated, and everything—from the beds to the couch—was incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was being able to see dolphins and even rocket launches right from the balcony, which made the experience feel extra special.The location is perfect, with plenty of amazing local restaurants just a short distance away. But honestly, nothing beat starting and ending the day on the dock—sipping coffee in the morning and watching the sunset with dolphins swimming by in the evening.It was peaceful, relaxing, and exactly what we needed. We were genuinely sad to leave and are already looking forward to coming back!Our pup even loved the dolphin watching!

A Rare Gem with Hosts Who Have Hearts of Gold! It is rare to find a place that feels less like a vacation rental and more like coming home, but this house was magic. It is hands-down the best-stocked home we have ever experienced. Hosts with Hearts of Gold: They went so far out of their way to be helpful, kind, and welcoming. Their genuine care changed our entire trip. Thoughtfully Abundant: The house was stocked with absolute perfection. Every single tool, amenity, and comfort was already waiting for us. A True Sanctuary: We lacked nothing and wanted for nothing. It was peaceful, beautiful, and completely stress-free. They set the ultimate standard for what hosting should be. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space and your kindness with us! Best house we stayed in!

Steve our host and his place get a “Wow”from me and my wife. Best VRBO we have ever stayed in and we have seen our share. We had mentioned we were in Melbourne to see our new grandson. We had a beautiful baby basket waiting for us at check in! The house was clean and felt newly renovated. He had all the kitchen appliances and our stay was great! Location was perfect for our visits to Indialantic. Thank you Steve!

The townhouse was perfect in every way for our stay. It is clean and bright and nicely decorated. Cute touches that I was excited for my family to see. The kitchen was well equipped and had a lot of extras. The bedrooms were comfortable and the shower in the master bedroom is huge. We loved the view of the river and saw a dolphin and manatees. The location was just a short drive to restaurants, stores, and the beach. Steve, the host, was welcoming and provided great communication. He obviously takes pride in his property.

I absolutely loved my stay at this beautiful townhouse. The only thing is that I wish that I could have stayed longer. We were only down for three nights to visit with our daughter and grandson. The host left a hand written note welcoming us which I thought was a nice touch. The neighborhood was friendly as well. The best part was the view of the water. We were able to walk down and feed a family of ducks with our 1yr old granbaby. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of seating. We definitely intend on coming back when we can stay longer. Thank you so much for having us!
