Tropic House | Waterfront Townhome: Dolphins, Manatees & Kayaks near Eau Gallie Arts District

2 Bedroom House in Tropic, Melbourne

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.
