Property is in a great location. It’s a little too far to walk to beach or downtown, but a quick bike ride gets you there in ten minutes! The patio and pool are great for relaxing, and easily viewing launches from Cape Canaveral. The provided kayaks are great for exploring and fishing the nearby 1000 Islands. We saw dolphin and manatee on a regular basis. Zena is a fabulous host, and communicates promptly. Would definitely recommend this property.

The house itself was very comfortable for our stay - beautifully designed, super clean, and with everything we needed during our stay. We also really enjoyed the home's location close to a large area of mangroves - we were able to easily put our kayaks in the water from the dock and enjoyed a few days of kayaking and fishing all over the mangrove area. It was also a very short bike ride or moderate walk to get to the beach and restaurants. Lastly, we really appreciated the fenced in yard for our dog! Thank you to Zena for being a great host.

Great place to relax for our holiday weekend getaway with friends (party of 6). Spent the days relaxing in the pool. Caught a few spotted sea trout off the dock, and even caught a glimpse of a dolphin. The kitchen and grill allowed us the ability to dine in for every meal. And the living room was spacious and comfortable enough for us all to gather and watch football too! Hosts were easy to communicate with, and were quick to respond to our needs. Enjoyed our stay!

Epic

Our family was blown away by this home and the hospitality that came with it. Our little girls (3 and 6) are already planning next trip to this house and saying they want to bring their friends and family to stay too. This house literally had everything we needed/wanted. Pool toys, beach toys, beach towels, wagon to walk to the beach with. They got slivers on the dock...1st aid kit complete with tweezers, Neosporin, and the elusive hero, bandaids! Zena answered any questions we had. There is a very well put together portfolio with area attractions, restaurant menus, directories, and it was great seeing what other guests recommended as well. We hope to make it back to this place!

“The Best Vacation Ever!”

We spent a week over Thanksgiving with us two grandparents, our son and his wife, and their three children aged 12,8, 6. The house was perfect for our family of seven. The first night we sat poolside and watched the first of two rocket launches over our stay. It was incredible! Our visit included a day at Kennedy Space Center, two beach days, walks to town and to the Art Festival, pool time, and, lots of fishing from the dock. The family was thrilled to see a manatee and her baby and dolphins right at the dock.We prepared most meals at the house and I have never seen a more well equipped kitchen. It had everything and more that we needed. The pool was wonderful and there is an abundance of pool toys, beach items, a cart for the beach, chairs and more. You really only need pack your clothes and toiletries and the rest you may need is here. I give this house a rousing 5 stars as it was the perfect place to have shared adventures and renewal of family connections. When we took the family to the airport they all said it was “the best vacation ever!”

Family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this property and will book again if we stay in the area, the only reason we gave check-in 4 stars was because when we finally got to the property after a long day of travel our door code didn’t work. The host was super responsive and fixed it right away which was great, but then stayed at the property to change light bulbs and it was a bit chaotic as we were trying to unpack groceries and figure out dinner and bedrooms and unpacking. The Host was extremely pleasant it was just not great timing for maintenance. My kids caught a ton of fish off of the dock which was great and the house has a lot supplies which is great for those flying in. Great location, close to the beach and shopping. Quiet neighborhood great for families, not for a party. We did have family visit almost every day and had no problems, just messages the host ahead of time. It really was a fantastic time and we all hated to leave!!!

Nice but not again

The reservation process through the app was convenient. Had good communication with the owner upfront. Showed up as scheduled and tried to get in but the door was not coded properly. The house itself is well located, clean and has good views. I advised the owner we were running a little behind The day of checkout and left 40 minutes past check out time. Owner and cleaning crew were already chomping at getting in and cleaning before we could leave. I apologized for the tardiness which was foretold but still got charged $75 penalty. This soured the whole experience. Won’t be staying here again

About the host

Host profile image
Formerly from the Pacific Northwest, we've traded evergreen trees for palm trees! We love the ocean, kayaking in the rivers and enjoy the local night life.

Why they chose this property

Very quiet street that is perfect for relaxing in Cocoa Beach. Still close enough to walk to the beach and great restaurants with lots of live music and a downtown steet fair every Friday night.

What makes this property unique

To park a boat at the dock we charge $50/day and our insurance company requires a copy of your Boat Liability Insurance policy emailed to owners at least 72 hours before check-in date, to be sure that it covers any damages that may arise to dock, etc. Thank you in advance.
