About this house rental
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.

The property and our host, Steve were excellent. So nice waking up in the AM with a water view. Great location and the townhome was fully equipped. Thank you, Steve

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!

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.

My wife and I really loved this home. It was very relaxing and the view of the river off the back deck and balcony of the master bedroom was perfect. The host Steve was awesome and made of feel very welcomed. We will be coming back here again real soon. Love this home. Thanks Steve for such a wonderful vacation.
