About this property

Enjoy a fabulous downtown location on cottage row with this exquisite 4 bedroom, 2 bath cottage within walking distance to all the great restaurants, live music and entertainment, shopping ~ and of course the beach which is only a block away.

The cottage comes with a large deck for outdoor dining or just relaxing while enjoying an ocean breeze. The fourth bedroom is in an attached studio with a kitchenette and its own living area, making it the perfect spot for extended families, friends traveling together, or that little extra privacy while on vacation with your teenage children. It’s also the perfect spot for couples to enjoy an elegant and relaxed vacation.

You'll have everything you need at the Blue Wave Beach Cottage, including a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living area with a fireplace, four televisions with cable, wifi, linens, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella, boogie boards, two outdoor showers, and more. There's a desk for work or homework in the main cottage, and the studio can be used as a quite work space away from the bustle of vacationing family. The cottage comes with a large private parking area big enough for four cars, an RV or boat.

The location provides quick and easy access to Port Canaveral, historic downtown Cocoa Village, Kennedy Space Center, the USSSA Space Coast Complex, and theme parks in the Orlando area. And, of course, beautiful Cocoa Beach is only a block away!

Wonderful cottage and location!

The cottage was great for a family of five adults and two toddlers. The back deck was a perfect play area for the little ones. Nancy went above and beyond to make sure everything was available (crib, high chair) upon arrival. The house was clean and stocked with everything needed. The location was great - close walking distance to beach and great restaurants. Even got to see a couple of rockets from the deck. Thank you Nancy!!

Spectacular Beach Cottage

My family stayed at this cottage in early August 2023. Nancy was a fantastic host and not only would we recommend this cottage, but if we ever come back to Cocoa Beach we will stay here again. Nancy was very communicative throughout the process. A week before our trip she reached out to me and gave me directions about check in and how to get to the cottage. The house is a cute 1930s era beach bungalow and it was spotless on arrival. Nancy provided some snacks, coffee, and wine which was perfect after our long trip. It is located a block off the beach and within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Next door there is a breakfast restaurant that came highly recommended by a friend (we highly recommend it!). The kitchen had everything that we needed for nights we decided to cook in. On those nights, we would cook dinner and eat outside on the back porch. Even though it was August, the heat was bearable in the evening because of the breeze you get off of the ocean, and there were no bugs that bothered us. After dinner we would walk to Oasis for shaved ice or the Fat Donkey for ice cream. We also ate out several nights (always walked). There were 2 rocket launches during our stay which you can see from a short walk to the beach. We also took surfing lessons from Ron Jon Surf School (15 min drive), and obviously, went to the beach most days. I would highly recommend this cottage to Cocoa Beach vacationers. It exceeded our expectations for a family of 5.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Happel

I'm a Florida native, have lived and worked in many places in the U.S. and Canada, and have returned to live in beautiful Cocoa Beach. I love it here! And I love being so close to the beach and to the Space Center (I don’t miss a launch!).

I'm available to help in any way and am dedicated to providing my guests with the best experience possible.

Why they chose this property

I’ve dreamed of owning a vacation rental for years. When I first saw the cottage I simply fell in love with it. It’s everything I had hoped to be able to offer guests - welcoming, comfortable, and elegant all at the same time. And so close to all that makes Cocoa Beach such a wonderful place to spend time in.

What makes this property unique

Everything in downtown Cocoa Beach is within a few blocks from the Cottage, yet, because it sits on its own little piece of land, it affords a privacy and sense of relaxation that is quite wonderful. The Cottage has a “main” area with three bedrooms, a bathroom, living and dining area and full kitchen, and there is an attached studio with another bedroom, living and dining area, kitchenette and bathroom. Because of this unique layout, I’ve been able to host a number of extended families and groups of adults vacationing together. And quite an number of parents with teenage children have enjoyed the privacy that the studio allows them!
