Managed by a local Super and Premier Host and 30-year Melbourne Beach resident. This unit is in a safe, established, kid friendly neighborhood, not in a crowded rental community ofcorporate offering. No remote property manager here. Your host cares!
Spacious? Yes! Sleeps 12. Inside and out your group will find the spaces to congregate as well as the space to "go hide" when you need a more private moment. This lovingly managed home has a casual elegance and beach vibe, featuring local art decor you would expect in an upscale home. This is certainly not a sterile corporate listing. The interior common area with a wet bar, game table area, and sitting and dining spaces provide ample room for your large group gathering. Multiple outside venues create a resort environment that is not found in other rentals. Relax in the Hammock. Chat fireside under the stars. Watch the game lounging in the pool. Play Cornhole. There is space for it all.

Private? Yes! A yard for your eyes only includes a spectacular heated resort-style pool with kids wading area (no 'backyard puddle' here), a massive, covered summer kitchen with BBQ Grill, all-weather HDTV, pizza oven, fire pit, and outdoor seating for all. It's all memorable at the Kabana. Inside find elegant queen and king bedrooms with both king rooms featuring 'in room' mini frig, microwave, and coffee maker (coffee provided of course) separate from the main kitchen. That's privacy and convenience.

Kid Friendly? Yes! ... Equals Parent's Happy! The Themed undersea submarine Bunkroom will delight young and old alike. Turn on the black lighting at night for fun. There is poker table andbumper pool table, board games, and sports equipment (football, basketball, Frisbees,4 tennis rackets and balls, softball bat and balls, bikes, helmets and more). Outside in your spacious yard find a wading pool area, cornhole game, sand pit play area for the little ones, and a grassy area to tumble on.
Location? The best! In the heart of The Town of Melbourne Beach you are in a safe and established neighborhood. "Live Like a Local".Convenience is important on vacation. Don't waste valuable time getting supplies or driving to services from remote locations.Park the car. Walk everywhere or use the Kabana bikes. Only 12 houses to your private local's beach access. Six blocks to "downtown" with Melbourne Beach Market, subs, Pizza and Italian Restaurant, ice cream shop, Ocean 302 Restaurant, bait shop, breakfast restaurant, liquor store, burrito's and more. Try Dijon's Steak and Lobster for cocktails and a fantastic meal.

The room features dramatic murals of undersea life and the interior and exterior of Capt. Nemo's submarine cruising the seafor the kids to play in! This submarine bunk room has a Full-Size Bed and Two Upper Single Bunk Bed’s with a view of an octopus and sea creatures.

UPSTAIRS:

1 Master King Bedroom with a sitting area and an expansive Master Bath containing a roomy, elegant, tiled shower and garden tub. Additionally, we added an area with a coffee pot, microwave, and mini fridge so you can avoid the trip downstairs. It's your kingdom.

1 Office/Bedroom with two twin-sized Trundle Beds or put together to make a King Bed. This room also has an office desk, office chair, and printer (Ink and paper on hand of course). So, this space can be a dedicated office and/or a sleeping area upstairs next to the Master Suite.
Both upstairs rooms have an adjoining balcony with a bar and two chairs for a wonderful sunset view overlooking the rear pool area. Nice.

The Front Porch features decorative tile with a double rocker, a single rocker, a teak bench, and two additional bench seats to allow for a perfect gathering area in the morning to plan a day at the beach or river activities together.
Off the Kitchen is a Garden Gathering Area with a large outdoor sofa. This area is filled with tropical flowers and a fresh herb garden FOR YOUR USE for that special family meal.
Off the central gathering area is a courtyard with a large outdoor table with four chairs and an umbrella directly facing a sand 'beach' with two additional captain chairs and an umbrella. This area features a large gas fire pit for enjoyable evening ambiance and an inspirational fire to create conversation.
The outdoor Kitchen is vast enough to cook and feed a large group. All counters are granite with a huge 3-foot-wide Lion grill with five burners, a farm-style stainless steeldouble wash sink, a full-sized refrigerator, a custom pizza oven, and a granite countertop that easily seats eight. An additional Tommy Bahama outdoor table is located south of the outdoor kitchen with six seats. Your poolside meal is set in great surroundings.
The Upper Balcony has a teak built-in bar with seating for two off the master. Adults only please. Let's keep the kids safe.
Two cozy garden benches are on a covered back porch in the rear of the house. Several Poolside loungers await you on the next lazy sunny Florida day.
A small garage is your hideaway for outdoor fun equipment. We include four bikes, tennis racquets and balls, a soccer ball, basketball, football, and even a corn hole game for the side grassy yard. Store surfboards here, kiteboards, or boogie boards for the serious beach enthusiast. Plenty of room and organization for everything to play with during your stay!
I saved the best for last…
THE POOL:
There is a large heated andprivate resort style custom pool, and it will be your group's favorite daily activity. The pool is built in an L-shape with the shallow end featuring a kid safe shallow swimming/wading area with multiple built-in umbrellas for sun safety! In the deeper end of the pool, there are two areas with built-in seating and tables for snacks or tropical cocktails, and both also have built-in pool umbrellas when the sun's rays are too intense. Not only that but… the pool is salt water, which is great for your skin and hair! It is a dream pool for all our guests to enjoy. Pool toys? Of course! Cabana Boy not included!

Location is important

The home is located in an established in town neighborhood within walking distance of everything you will need to enjoy a spectacular vacation. Properties further south don't have this convenience to local shopping, restaurants, beach accesses, and more.

Orlando/Melbourne airport is 15 minutes from our door. Cruise ships and great restaurants at Port Canaveral are 35 minutes north. Vacation outings? Sebastian Inlet for surfing and fishing is 20 minutes south. Cape Kennedy Space Complex is one hour north. Orlando attractions are one hour west. The Kabana is your gateway to Florida fun.

Great family spot
One of the best stocked rental homes our group had ever been to. You truly do not need to pack anything. From extra toothbrushes, to a fully stocked kitchen complete with plenty of kid plates and even a bottle brush- the host has thought of it all. Fit 8 adults and 4 children very nicely, the pool was fantastic and had lots of hang out spots for everyone- you could tuck away to another part of the yard and feel a little secluded if you wanted to. Communication with the host was seamless, and when we thought we had an issue with the pool heater they were over in less than a half hour to make sure it was working as it should. The beds were comfortable, the space was very clean, and the location to the beach was perfect. We loved using the golf cart, but if you weren’t toting kids or lots of things it really wouldn’t be necessary, it’s so close. We tend to be a hard group to accommodate space wise and we all agreed the layout and size was perfect. Will definitely be choosing to stay again if we ever find ourselves back in Melbourne beach.

Best Spring Break House!
Oh my gosh!!! Kelen’s Grand Kabana was perfect for our multi-family SB vacation! We had three families under one roof: 6 adults and 8 kids. Each couple had their own bedroom and all kids had their own space. Nobody felt like there was a lack of privacy or inadequate sleeping space. The heated pool kept all kids entertained for hours. We all spent so much time outside by the pool, outdoor kitchen area, and fire pit making memories. The beach was within easy walking distance (less than a quarter mile away), but if you didn’t feel like walking, there were several beach cruisers in the garage that the we took advantage of daily. Kelen was quick to respond to all inquiries and never seemed bothered to help. It was nice to have the necessary staples right there for our arrival. And we took full advantage of the pizza oven! I speak for everyone in our group when I say that we are definitely putting this place in our future rotation! Book this place if you want to have a good VRBO experience!!! Thanks, Kelen and Gary 💙

Fantastic Holiday Vacation!
I'm not sure there are enough words to describe how delightful our stay was at Kelena's Grand Kabana! Kelen's communication with us in the weeks leading up to our trip was excellent and she was quick to respond when we needed her help during our stay. The house was/is beautiful, the location is perfect and we just felt like they cared so much about making our experience special. The whole family, especially the kids, loved the house and heated pool!

Annual Family Vacation
Our family of 14, 8 adults and 6 grandchildren, thoroughly enjoyed our week at Kelena's Grand Kabana. There was ample room for all to sleep and eat together. Our hosts, Kelen and Gary, were by far the best we have ever worked with via our annual planning, check in, and addressing any questions we had during the stay. The home is not only fully stocked with the essentials but also has so many additional special touches for the pool, beach, and indoor games for everyone to enjoy. We all commented that it was probably better equipped than our own homes. The beach access is very walkable as is the boat launch for sunset viewing on the river at the other end of the street. We enjoyed swimming, shelling, evening turtle watching, and walks along the beach in addition to afternoons and evenings in the outstanding pool. When we ventured away from the house, the grandkids had a great experience at Andretti's. We kayaked on Sebastain Inlet and caught fish both at the beach and on a fishing charter. With so much to do, our week felt as if it was only 2-3 days long. Kelen and Gary you have done it right and your attention to providing your guests with a great experience really shows through. Thanks for a great stay. John & Carol

All around great option for a family! We loved the house and amenities provided. I cannot say enough about this rental from the cleanliness to the communication from the owner. We never needed anything throughout our stay but the owner still checked in several times just to make sure. The outdoor pool area is wonderful and a close walk to the beach.

Spring break
This was our third year with families traveling together for spring break. The house had everything and more than we needed. The kids had a ball in the pool and bunk room and the adults made some great meals in the kitchen and had fun playing at the poker table. We watched a launch out on the beach which was thrilling.

Saved Our Vacation
This property is fabulous. I had booked property a year prior that was right on the ocean, that's the only thing this place is missing, but it's a short five minute walk. We had a property booked on the ocean that cancelled on us 2 days before arrival. This host saved our vacation, they provided a beautiful place, last minute and thought of everything to have available. Totally would go back again. US, kids and grandkids all loved and was perfect for all!
