We very much enjoyed the stay, great spot on the water. They supplied everything you might need for going to the beach. The fridge had drinks in it along with every kind of condiment. Very beachy decor, large and roomy apartment, bathroom was great as well. We met the owners, had a nice chat with them.

The space felt warm and welcoming, making it easy to relax and feel at home. Everything we needed was provided, and the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable. We would recommend this place and would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay so much. It was a perfect location for cocoa beach and port Canaveral. The fishing at the property is a must, we caught 5 fish. We also were able to see the alligators and manatees!

Great location.

We loved our stay here. We saw turtles and alligators in the water every day and even saw manatee a few times. There's lots of wildlife in the neighborhood and tons of birds. The hosts supply lots of items to use if going to the beach including chairs and an umbrella. We will for sure stay there again if we are in the area. Very handy to Orlando airport. Good communication from the hosts.

We really enjoyed our stay here. They had a variety of things available to use, beach gear, fishing gear, and bicycles. They have a cute little kitchen nook that has a full fridge, dishes, double sink, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and toaster oven. The unit is a double garage made into a cute little unique studio style apartment. Side notes: It rained quite a bit during our stay and it can make the plumbing work slowly. Just something to be mindful of. Also, the upper deck does not have a cover so the Florida sun in the Summer can be brutal, we just ran out and got a cheap outdoor umbrella and strapped it to the railing; worked perfectly! We ran to the store and got some easy microwaveable steamer type foods and managed just fine. There is a grill on the patio but we did not use it. We did spend most of our time out on the deck fishing and enjoying the view. The bait shop at Lake Pointsett Lodge & Marina is no longer open and the little bar there is very smokey. We got some worms from Walmart and the little Brim fish by the dock loved ‘em. Caught quite a few. Our stay was during a 3-day Labor Day weekend. We will stay here again! Hope this review is helpful for the next visitor! The owners are very quick to respond but are also on site as they live in the main house with their cute little friendly dog, Walter.

Visit in December

Hosts -- Lisa and John -- are super helpful and sweet. Place is laid out with a separate deck for your own use if you wish to overlook the lake and go croc/manatee spotting. 10+ minutes to downtown Cocoa.

Great little place!

Great little place to stay, owners very hospitable and accommodating. Left us towels, beach chairs, drink cups, etc to use. Shower stocked with all amenities which is great when traveling by plane. Was nervous about staying in a “converted garage” but the place was cozy. Close to all the places we needed it to be. Would highly recommend!

A enjoyable stay

We enjoyed our time there. The outside space really shows its age and is not quite what the pictures portray. The inside space is nicely decorated. You know you are in a garage. All the essentials are provided and it was comfortable.

On our way to the port

Perfect overnight spot to relax and enjoy the water/ sunset/ sunrise. We enjoyed this spot one night before our cruise and it was a great location! Just watch for the lizards if you are not from Florida! Midwesterner here that had to get used to them! The neighborhood is very quiet and hardly saw anyone around honestly.
