Large windows provide tons of natural light but furnished with blinds for shade and privacy. Doors close off the bedroom from the other living areas. The kitchen is simple, but all the basics are included. With a bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen, we have worked to provide modern comforts and all the amenities you’ll need for your stay in this 650 sq ft space. The 1926 building underwent an extensive renovation modernize the major systems while maintaining the beauty and original features of the property. Hardwood floors, large windows and original woodwork give this home old-world charm!

You will be staying in a renovated 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival building steps from Historic Downtown Melbourne. On a quiet, neighborly street, the Lincoln Guest House is within walking distance to restaurants, bars, shops and the Indian River. The Indialantic beaches are just over the causeway, a quick drive.

Guest Access:
There are four one-bedroom units in the Lincoln Guest House. Other guests are likely to be onsite, but your own entry and large front and back yard offer privacy and separation.

The Neighborhood:
This charming apartment is located in an older, historical neighborhood with neighbors that take great pride in their street and community. It is a great location for business travelers, vacationers and Florida Institute of Technology visitors.

What's Nearby: two-and-a-half miles to the Melbourne International Airport and Florida Institute of Technology; three miles to the Indialantic beaches; 20 miles to Cocoa Beach and the original Ron Jon Surf Shop; close to all the engineering companies and less than a mile to Holmes Regional Medical Center and Wells Park

Attractions: 14 miles to the Brevard Zoo; 18 miles to the USSSA Space Coast Stadium; 25 miles to Port Canaveral; 47 miles to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex; two-hour drive to Disney, other Orlando theme parks and Daytona Beach

Besides walking, biking and car, Space Coast Area Transit bus stops to the beaches and other downtown Melbourne areas are two blocks away. The Melbourne International Airport is just a short drive; both Uber and/or Lyft serve Melbourne and surrounding areas.

Other Things to Note:
The exterior of the building is monitored by 24-hour surveillance – which we’ve never had to use – but adds an extra level of security. There is a train that runs through downtown Melbourne and can be heard in the late evening and early morning hours. A floor fan is available in the unit if white noise is needed for light sleepers. There are four one-bedroom units in the building; you may occasionally hear other guests. Although only a couple blocks from downtown, the street is residential, so please respect our (11 pm - 8am) quiet hours. Off-street parking for one vehicle/unit behind the house is available. Beware, the archway over the driveway is narrow. A van or SUV is fine but please go very slowly under the archway; you may need to fold in the mirrors. Additional street parking for a second vehicle or larger trucks/vans is available on the other side of the street.

Interaction with Guests:
Host is usually not onsite but available anytime to provide tips or recommendations to help you enjoy the best of Melbourne and the Space Coast.

Beautiful apartment in an excellent location
This is the perfect apartment for a couple to stay in while they visit Melbourne. It’s close to everything you’d want to do in the area, and is even within walking distance of beautiful historic downtown Melbourne. We arrived with a smooth checkin to a perfectly clean space. The host, Beth, was prompt with all communication and gave us plenty of information to help make the best of our stay. We would definitely stay here again when we’re in the area. 10/10

Needed a break from rat race of hotel stays. This was perfect! Close to down town walking/shopping. Nice neighbors and felt safe and snug as a bug in a rug. Property manager always available. The batteries died in unit and they were replaced immediately! Lovely charming apartment! Just what the Dr ordered for recovery time! Thanks Beth for being a phenomenal hostess!

Nice apartment. As advertised. Convenient location.
This was a business trip for me. I needed a clean place to stay that was close to decent restaurants and my customer site. This place checked all the boxes. My days consisted of going to work in the morning and coming home to order some food, watch TV, and go to bed. I had many excellent choices for restaurants that delivered via UberEats that were also close to the apartment. I thought about going out and had I decided to do so the owner provided many recommendations. I wished that I had the time and energy to try some of them but after a day at work I just didn't feel like it. Plus it's not fun going out when you are traveling alone. It was nice to come home to a clean cozy apartment. Should I have to do another customer service trip to Melbourne I would consider this place again. I enjoyed that they had a real coffee maker instead of the Keurig stuff. I normally bring my own coffee and take it to work in a thermos. I consume almost a pot of coffee each day. Coffee is an important part of my life LOL. My only critique is that there was no real work desk. I could however set up easily in the kitchen. I understand that most people don't use VRBO for business trips, so if I'm only there for a short time, I normally don't care that much about a dedicated work desk. And most places don't offer it, so it's not that big a deal. Overall, a 5 star stay. Clean room. All the basics. Close to shopping and work. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Great Stay!
This was our 2nd stay at this cozy and nicely decorated apartment which is a convenient and safe walk within a couple of minutes to Downtown Melbourne. The space is super clean & comfortable and provides the necessary amenities. A big bonus is location. The property is closely situated to beaches, shopping and all that the Space Coast has to offer. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for value and helpful customer service as the owners are ready to assist your needs to ensure your stay is enjoyable.
