About this property

Beachside escape w/ backyard BBQ & pool

Summary:

Welcome to Unit H at 400 South - your beachside home base in Cocoa Beach!



- Sleeps 6 | 2 bedrooms | 3 beds | 1 bath

- Steps from Orlando's closest beach

- Heated shared pool, open 24/7 all year

- Private backyard w/ gas BBQ grill

- Fully stocked kitchen w/ dishwasher

- Beach essentials & EV charger on-site

- Pet-friendly stay near the Space Coast



The Space:

Step outside and the sand is already calling your name, just across the street. This second-floor retreat at 400 South puts you within walking distance of the shoreline, with the laid-back energy of Cocoa Beach as your backdrop and the Space Coast's launch pads only minutes away.



Living space

A short flight of stairs leads up to Unit H, where sunlight fills the open-concept living area and plays off romantic decor details throughout. Settle into the wide couch and stream a favorite show on the Smart TV, or post up at the bar-style seating for four while someone else handles dinner. The furniture and appliances are brand new throughout, giving the whole space a fresh, put-together feel.



Sleeping arrangements

Rest easy with two full bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a queen, each offering ample closet space for unpacking properly during your stay. A sofa bed in the living area adds flexible sleeping room for a larger group, making this layout comfortable for up to six guests.



Kitchen & dining

The kitchen comes fully stocked and ready for everything from quick breakfasts to full dinners in, complete with a dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and the cookware and dishware you need to make it happen. The bar-style seating keeps the space social, whether you're grabbing coffee or gathering everyone for a meal.



Bathroom

The sleek bathroom features a walk-in shower along with a vanity that includes extra storage tucked into the adjacent closet, so toiletries and towels stay organized and out of the way.



Outdoor space

Beyond your private entrance, a private backyard offers room to unwind, complete with a gas BBQ grill for evening cookouts. A shared outdoor pool on the property is heated and open all year, around the clock, so a swim is always on the table regardless of season. Beach essentials, including towels, an umbrella, beach blanket, and snorkeling gear, are provided to make the short walk to the sand that much easier.



Location

You're directly across the street from Orlando's closest beach, with Cape Canaveral and the Space Coast just minutes south, making this a solid home base for couples, friends, or families looking to split time between the waves and the launch pads.



Guest Access:

We provide keyless entry with digital door locks.



The Neighborhood:

400 South is a newly-renovated, 8-unit "aparthotel" located just outside historic downtown Cocoa Beach. Situated on one of its popular local beachfront streets, you'll be in perfect proximity to ocean - think daytime beach sojourns or a romantic sandy sunset walk. It's a 5-minute walk to downtown, and just 50 steps to the beach from the front door! The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful, with a gated community directly across the street and million-dollar mansions all around!



Getting Around:

Located on A1A with Uber and Lyft being very prevalent in the area. Downtown area is within walking distance.

- Paper towels

- Toilet paper

- Tissues

- Coffee pods, creamer, and sugar

- Light cleaning supplies (please note: NO LAUNDRY SOAP PROVIDED)

- Garbage bags

- Sponges

Amazing stay!

Perfect location - easy to navigate to downtown and beyond. So close to the beach we easily walked back for lunch/drink refills. Comfortable accommodations with on property pool, washer/dryer, and beach supplies. Our only disappointment was that we couldn’t stay longer!

Great place!

We were here for a couple days before heading back to IL. It was the perfect fit for all 5 of us! It was fully stocked with what we needed, clean, organized and the owner was quick to respond. We loved how close it was to the beach and downtown!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We were a family of 3 with our medium sized dog. Location was a big deal for us along with a comfy place to stay and this checked it. We were literally right across from the beach access (ie S 4th St) which allowed dogs on the beach at specified times. The only cons that we experienced were the following: 1) Parking- it is free but some beach goers were using complex’s parking spaces to avoid the paid public parking and using the outdoor shower facilities. So we had to wait just to remove sand off our feet since the family of 5 took their time to shower and wash all of their beach equipment; 2) Safety- the main entry door which swings out, only had the digital padlock doorknob to unlock and secure the door. Once in, there is no “safety” bolt to secure the door; 3) Privacy- the doors to the bedroom and bathroom did not fully close or lock in our unit. I have reported these concerns to the property manager to address.

Girls trip

Property was super cute and perfect for our long weekend girls trip. 4 of us fit nicely without issues. The sofa was rather dirty but other than that the place was clean and sufficient for what we needed. The listing did indicate there was laundry but it wasn’t clear as to where to find it. We didn’t end up needing it but it is located under the stairs for communal use. The provided beach chairs also located under the stairs were super convenient. Beds were comfortable and everything was decorated and updated nicely. Beach perfectly located right across the street. Our only complaint was that it wasn’t as walkable to stores and restaurants as we had hoped so we had to Uber more than we wanted to. Overall, great little place to stay and would recommend.

Review for this condo

The location is great. A few minutes to walk to the village, and the beach. The pool was very well maintained. However, there were a few things that should be mentioned. There was a lot of dust in the apartment. It was clear that only essential cleaning,. Like counter tops and bathrooms, is done. The air conditioning is extremely loud. The system runs straight through the apartment. The couch had a blanket over it to hide the stains. We know Florida is humind but the space smelled very musty. I took Some photos of the dust that I cleaned myself for fear of it falling in our food as it was over the kitchen counter tops and the coffee table. Please let me know if you wouldLike to see them.

Great location

This property is in a great location close to the beach and a short drive to amenities. The unit was quite moldy, unit H. There was obvious mold on the pictures, furnace filter, and especially one of the bedrooms. The furniture needed a deep cleaning, and there are no stools or places to get your legs and suitcase up off the floor. The a/c fan ran full tilt the entire time because the NEST thermostat can't be controlled with my phone. Seemed like the a/c didn't work as well as it should have, and the filter could use changed. Other than that, this is a nice unit with a good layout and plenty of room. I think the "newly remodeled" sales pitch is stretching the truth a little. It's probably been a few years since it was remodeled. Also, the exceptional rating is not accurate for this unit. Other tenants I talked to did not have the same issues with their unit that I saw in this unit.

Artemis 1 Monday abort!

This is a very nice place to stay. It's quiet, a lot to do in the area within walking distance, the beach is a short walk and also not crowded. This location is a must. When in the area for recreation, or to see a rocket launch like its in your back yard.
