The Fanta Sea
Real life and fantasy converge in the Fanta Sea villa, an oceanfront gem located on the shores of Melbourne Beach, FL—just a short drive to Orlando. Giant glass windows and doors practically transport you outside, where a private pool & patio are mere steps from the sea. Four stunning bedrooms, grand living spaces, and the home theater boast luxe decor—each infused with the warm colors of the sand and sea. Start the day on the coast, and end it on the coasters of Disney World, only ~90 min away.

Select units at Harbor Island Beach Club are dog-friendly! Additional fees apply. Please contact the Guest Services team for more information on our dog-friendly units and to inquire about availability: (407) 305-6556 or stay@villatel.com.
Pool & spa heat is available for a daily add-on fee. Once heated, pool temperatures are set to reach 82-86 degrees Fahrenheit; spas are set to reach 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on the weather, it can take up to 24 hours to heat the pool, so it is recommended that you reserve pool heat in advance of your stay if you’d like to add this service.
No, pool heat distributes heat to both the pool and the spa simultaneously; the spa will not be warm if pool heat isn’t turned on. Turn the manual timer on the lanai wall to turn on the spa jets and heat the spa up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. When the jets are on, the heat will be directed toward the spa and away from the pool. Note that the spas are not “hot tubs”; they will not reach temperatures usually associated with hot tubs and cannot be heated on their own, separate from the pool.
‘Cold fronts’ in the winter months (i.e. temps below 60 degrees) can cause the pool equipment to stop functioning; this does not constitute mechanical failure and refunds for pool heat will not be issued.
No, please check the listing details or reach out to the Guest Services team to confirm if your unit features a spa.
