The host was very accommodating and it was a turn key stay with hotel amenities. The host answered our requests immediately and addressed the issues in a timely manner. Great place for a family- so many things provided you could never be bored!
Everything was great, we’ve stayed at this property twice now because the first time exceeded our expectations, the house has everything we needed and then some. The host contacted us to make sure we had everything we needed and even made us aware of surrounding activities going on. I would highly recommend this property to anyone in the area.
We loved the house, every room was clean and bright. I fell in love with the entire house it really felt like being at home. The pool and lounge area was great. We spent a lot of time there during our stay. Quiet neighborhood and friendly people also. I will be planning another trip with my family, I will be looking for this home as my destination. Our host was awesome she was available when needed and kept in contact with me. More than 5 stars for this property.
This is a beautiful property with plenty of space and amenities. The house is extremely well equipped. My family and friends I traveled with agreed that this was our favorite vacation rental we've visited. We would love to come back some day.
Perfect house for a large family, all you need is your clothes

We were a family of 10 adults. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and the amenities provided Would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family.
We stayed here before heading out on a Disney Cruise. The house was great and the amenities were just what we needed. We were also able to walk over to beach and watch a rocket launch! The owners were easy to communicate with and handled everything perfectly. Great stay!
House was just what we needed to have four generations together to celebrate. Easy access to beach, stores and restaurants. Lots to do at house, pool and bikes were a big hit. Large kitchen so we could cook and still be together. Would definitely recommend.
This home was everything we could’ve asked for. We were in town to enjoy the nice weather and it was comfortable enough for us to hang around the house enjoying the pool, kayaks and closeness to the beach.
This house was a great place to host a family get together. It was great to have 6 bedrooms. We enjoyed a local Arts and Crafts Fair and even got to see a rocket launch!
We had 6 guys stay in this prefect house for us. Six nice bedrooms and three bathrooms. The kitchen, living room and outdoor areas worked out pefectly for our gathering.
It was such a fun house with heated , pool water across the street to canoe and kayak with furnished equipment, games and activities at the house that we never left that day. Beach access within a mile to Wilson park Plenty of room to prepare meals or just visit and relax around the house.

Great Large Family Gathering Spot, Beautiful New Kitchen, Spacious, Great Location and Well Maintained
Our family of 12 had an amazing stay at the "Surf Shack". 6 large bedrooms and plenty of room for our family! The BRAND NEW kitchen is absolutely beautiful, the house is very well stocked and location is perfect to the beach. Teresa was a great host and very accommodating. This is a perfect spot for families looking to spend time time together in a beautiful, spacious vacation home. 5 Stars, would highly recommend! We will be back!
Very clean and well maintained home. For our family perfectly. Pool is nice and so are the kayaks. Got to watch 2 rocket launches from the backyard as well. Minutes from the beach and lots of food. Would highly recommend this property.

Teresa is an excellent host! The house has been recently updated and is completely stocked with everything a family might need during a stay. The pool is a great hangout after a day at the beach and it’s easy to drop the kayaks in the river to go search for dolphins. Plenty of space. Our family recommends!!!
The Surf Shack was comfortable and charming. Our two families had everything we needed to enjoy our time. The location was a quick drive to all the best spots in Cocoa Beach. We were able to easily see two rocket launches (one from the driveway and one from the Cocoa Beach pier), enjoy ice cream at the Fat Donkey and drinks at Coconuts. We also ventured into Orlando for trips to Disney World and Universal with no issues, and the location is about half an hour from Kennedy Space Center which was absolutely amazing. Our group also did a night kayaking trip to see the bioluminescence which I highly recommend.The house has enough bikes for a large group, a great outdoor area and pool, and comfortable beds. The only downside to our entire trip was dealing with the Florida mosquitoes. Bring lots of bug spray!

About the host
Hosted by Teresa Johns
My husband and I live on the river and enjoy boating and spending time with our family. We moved to Florida 12 years ago and love it here and love to share it with others. We enjoy traveling and as a host I strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests. That's why I'm committed to personally managing every aspect of being a host and doing what I can to enhance our guests' experience.
Why they chose this property
The Cocoa Beach Surf Shack is over 2,500 sq ft with an open floor plan. There's room for everyone to enjoy their own space and great family gathering areas. The huge porch is set up for outdoor entertainment, lounging, and dining next to the pool. The location is excellent! Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood where you get a live like a local experience. You can walk or bike to the beach and to the historic downtown Cocoa Beach area.
What makes this property unique
The Surf Shack is in a great location in the historic Cocoa Beach downtown area where you can walk to the river, beach, ocean, restaurants, bars, and shops. The house is right by (only 2 houses away) a an access to launch kayaks for the Banana River. Our guests have often seen dolphin and manatees swimming by when they take the kayaks out on the river. We are at the north end of the Thousand Island area which is a refuge for these amazing marine mammals.
