We really enjoyed our stay. The backyard was amazing. We rode bikes down to get ice cream and took the kayaks out. The house was clean and there was plenty of room for our family.

We only stayed one night. The bed were so uncomfortable that we had to leave early and not stay another night because we could not sleep on the beds. The house was OK. Everything looked OK other than that.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the beds did not meet your expectations and that it impacted your stay. We have never received this feedback! We strive to provide a comfortable experience for all our guests, and I truly regret that this was not the case for you. Your comments are valuable, and I will review this matter to see how we can improve. I’m glad to hear that the rest of the house met your expectations, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
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.

Laurie, thank you for the kind words — I’m glad our house felt clean and welcoming and that communication was easy. You’re welcome back anytime; safe travels and I’d love to host you again.
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.
We had an amazing time at this property. The house was exactly what we needed. We fished, saw dolphins swim by while having coffee in the backyard, and the pool was perfect! We stayed 5 nights and saw 4 rocket launches. It was a great place to stay!

It was such a pleasure hosting you and your little ones at our house. I’m glad you found everything you needed and enjoyed how kid friendly it was – you all are welcome back anytime!
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!
We stayed here for a week and we had a great time! The view was amazing! We caught fish and saw dolphins. The private pool was awesome! We enjoyed the restaurants and they were very close too.
Don’t miss out on this beautiful rental!
We had a great vacation in November. The house was clean, exactly like the pictures. Zena was great to work with. My kids loved seeing the dolphins and being able to fish.
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean, comfortable and pleasant walking didtance to the beach, eateries and golf. We knew the pool wasnt heated when we booked hiwever wit could have been warmer if it had a solid solar cover instead of plastic runners. We would definitely stay here again.
The house and property was great! Zena was very responsive to my messages and very helpful with answering all of my questions prior to our arrival and she was also very helpful and responsive to meeting our needs during our stay! We caught a lot of super cool fish off the dock! Overall great stay and we highly recommend!!
The property was very nice. We went to Kennedy Space Center which was pretty close by. And we visited the beach to watch and speedboat races and it was just a short distance from the house. We had tacos from Sergio’s and I highly recommend it. Delish. was just a

Kenneth was an amazing guest. Communication was smooth. The place was left in great condition and the house rules were respected. I hope to host Kenneth again in the future!
The property was great. Quiet neighborhood, house just as described, easy check in, the pool was so nice to relax in, and a fishing dock where we saw otters and manatees was great. Ours was a short vacation with family and I am so thankful to have found this house. It was just what we needed.

Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy you could enjoy the peace and quiet and the abundant wildlife. You are welcome back anytime.
We didn't spend much time at the property because of all the wedding events over the weekend. But it was clean comfortable and we enjoyed the view of the dock and water. I would stay there again.

Horrible experience
The house and everything was good but me and my family were stalked all night. We traveled far and we were watched all night by the neighbors. We couldn't enjoyed our time because of false complaints every time we talk our laugh we bother by the neighbors. This is not a great neighborhood for a colored person.
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!
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!”
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
Hosted by Zena Courtney
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.
