The Setting

The ocean is right there.
And so is everything else.

Harbor Island Beach Club is a gated beachfront community on a barrier island, with the Atlantic on one side and the Indian River Lagoon on the other. Homes range from 3 to 8 bedrooms, many with a private pool and spa. The community pool sits just inside the gate. Walk a little farther and you’re on the beach. On the lagoon side, a private marina with Intracoastal access is a recognized port of call on America’s Great Loop. Melbourne Beach is the kind of place where the day finds you, not the other way around.

The Trip That Slows Down

Sand in the morning.
Marina by sunset.

A barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. Mornings on the beach, afternoons on the water, evenings drifting back toward the marina. Kennedy Space Center is forty-five minutes north when you want a day off the island, and Orlando’s parks are about ninety minutes west if the group is up for it. Most days, you won’t use either.

  • Private pool and spa at many homes, plus access to the grand community pool just inside the gate
  • Direct, gated beach access on the Atlantic, with beach gear and bike rentals available through the concierge
  • Private marina on the Intracoastal Waterway with slip rentals and recognized port-of-call status on America’s Great Loop
  • Day trips to Kennedy Space Center (45 min), the Eau Gallie Arts District, fishing charters, and Orlando theme parks (90 min)
