We booked a few days' getaway to the beach. Melbourne Bch is really nice and not a busy place, which is what we like. We booked a townhouse suite. I will cover the good and the weak. First the good: The townhouse suite was clean, nicely appointed, and had a kitchen and a sort of "wet bar" set up on the upper floor. The kitchen setup was adequate to prepare very basic foods. There is a nice pool, and best of all, a nice deck looking out over the Atlantic, which was perfect for our party, as we had one person who is health challenged and cannot go to the beach itself. The owners have supplied a nice selection of beach chairs, boogie boards, noodles, and other assorted beach items, all available first come first served. There is a laundry with extra beach towels and room towels available, along with a couple of picnic tables, and ample parking. The octagonal beach house toward the beach itself has some very nice suite rooms. The location is convenient to several seafood restaurants, and a very good German restaurant, along with Publix just down the road. Beds were very nice with foam mattresses and well appointed. The Not So Good: When you enter the town house suites, you enter into one of the two bedrooms. It is not at all private, as there is no door separating it from the kitchen/living area, and it is within direct view of people exiting their vehicles. The lower level has zero view (which the owners are honest about) but it looks out at the pool, which is raised to a pool deck and surrounded by iron fencing. Kind of gives you a jail feeling. The living area is also not private, as people on the pool deck look down directly into these rooms. The kitchen lacked adequate supply. We had two spoons, for example. The refrigerators have no ice makers, and there is no ice on the property. The bathroom downstairs was sort of carved out under the narrow stairway upstairs, and had a tiny shower, and you had to bend over carefully at the toilet to keep from beaning your head on the slanted ceiling. The room is maybe a 3 feet (1 meter) wide. Upstairs there is sort of a half kitchen with microwave, sink and small refrigerator, again no ice. Up and down there were not good places to sit. The living room had sort of a sofa/chaise sectional, which did not have sections. The upstairs had only a scrunchy love seat. The pool outside our room was noisy early, as some people brought their children there to swim (two about 8 or 9, and one toddler with mother). They started making lots of noise about 7:15 a.m. We were up...but we were interested how this happened, since the place advertises no children under 10. Finally, the Blue View Inn just needs more attention to the small stuff. No tissues, limited soap, much better supplied kitchen, on site ice or ice trays in the freezers, and setting clear hours for pool use. Although I gave it three stars, we all agreed it was more like 2 1/2. I think the rooms in the octagonal beach house are much nicer, and would consider staying in them again, but not in the town house suites. Sorry, we were just disappointed. …
