Meet Your Host: Natalie Carl

Hello! I'm Natalie Carl, your host at the Splashing Pelican. As a proud mother of three young adults and a Melbourne Beach resident for over 16 years, I'm thrilled to share this special corner of Florida with you.

After growing up in the vibrant city of Miami, I found my true home here on the beautiful Space Coast. Having lived on both the beach and riverside in Melbourne Beach, I've fallen deeply in love with everything this charming coastal town has to offer. The wildlife here is truly unparalleled, and I'm excited for you to experience this natural wonderland firsthand.

My background as a multi-restaurant general manager has given me a deep appreciation for hospitality and attention to detail. This experience, combined with my lifelong love of hosting - from holiday gatherings to community events - has led me to become an Airbnb Superhost.

I take immense pride in ensuring that each of my guests experiences a wonderful, memorable vacation. At the Splashing Pelican, I've created more than just a place to stay - it's a home away from home where you can truly relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of Melbourne Beach.

Whether you're here for the pristine beaches, the diverse wildlife, or simply to unwind, I'm here to make your stay exceptional. Welcome to the Splashing Pelican - I can't wait to host you and help you create lasting memories in this special place I'm fortunate enough to call home!
