VRBO had technical difficulties from the minute I made this reservation, but the owner was very helpful. The house has lots of character, it is a short drive to the beach, downtown, and plenty of restaurants. We enjoyed our stay at the White House.

Mould
Initial impression on entry. Smell of mould and damp. Had to wash towels before use because of smell.
Overall the property was good. Our suggestions;
Black mode on screens in the bedrooms, need to be cleaned.
Towels should be replaced, we went out and bought new ones.
Keurig was very dirty, needs cleaned after every visit.
No toilet paper in bathrooms, went out the first night at 10pm to buy some.

This property was clean and had everything we needed to have a fantastic mini-vacation in Melbourne. Everything was as described in the listing. Loved the country home feel. The host was responsive whenever we had questions, and promptly sent someone out to the house to help when one of us locked us out of the house by accident. The only negative was that the road in the neighborhood was a bit busier than anticipated, so there was a lot of car/motorcycle noise even throughout the night. Overall we give this stay 5 stars. Thanks!
Great for Florida Institute of Technology Graduation
This home was perfect for our visit to attend Florida Institute of Technology graduation day. It's really close to the campus and the neighborhood is quiet. The home is beautiful and the space is so much better than a hotel and is comparable in price or better.
The host, Joe, answered concerns in a timely fashion. We did have a few things,and when we contacted him, he thanked us and said those issues would be addressed for future guests.
We would be willing to stay again if we are on the area for an event and are willing to recommend The White House in Melbourne.
I have been using Vrbo for several years and this property needs some updated furniture and a new key pad for entry. Usually there is an information booklet. For trash beach chairs comfortable living room furniture. The host Joe acted like I was lying about his data that he gave us. I was just disappointed and will look for other rentals next year. He told us a wrong password several times. We found the info on the refrigerator.
