July 2025 - Family of five from Nevada. Thankyou for providing us this gem! We loved the location. It reminded my wife of her grandmother's place in Lakeland, FL when she was a little girl I hope that we will have the opportunity to rent from you all again in the future. Many thanks! We had a blast!
June 2025 - Family of five from Tennessee. We had a wonderful time enjoying our visit to Cocoa Beach and your beautiful home. You have thought of everything our family might need and then some! We will certainly be back. Thanks so much!
June 2025 - Family of five from Iowa. Once again, thank you so much for allowing us to call your house our home for a few days. We could not be happier with our (2nd) stay. The beach, the pier, the waves, the restaurants, and the wildlife reminded us quickly of how much we missed Cocoa Beach and how difficult it is for us to leave. We hope to back for our third visit soon!
May 2025 - Family of four from Missouri; plus two from Nebraska. We can't say thankyou enough! We got to spend a lot of time on the beach and in the water. We also took a trip up to Daytona Beach just to say we made the right choice staying in Cocoa Beach. The highlights of the trip were seeing a SPACEX rocket launch at night and a night fishing trip during which both our children landed sharks! We greatly enjoyed the beautiful back patio, garden and grilling. We also made good use of the beach wagon and beach toys. Our 15 year old son and 18 year old daughter were like little kids again. We can't wait to come back!
April 2025 - Family of four from Rochester, New York. Our family of four had a wonderful time staying here! Our kids (ages 7 and 12) loved having access to so much beach gear, especially the wagon! We checked out the Cocoa Beach Pier, saw turtles at Manatee Sanctuary Park, went to the Kennedy Space Center, did a Dolphin Family Tour, and ate at some amazing restaurants! We appreciate not having to strip the beds or do extensive cleaning on our way out! We loved hanging out in the beautiful backyard and the kids loved chasing lizards!
April 2025 - Three couples from Kentucky. We have never stayed in a rental with more amenities than your home. You have thought of everything. The house is beautiful and well kept. We will definitely stay again! The little extra touches that you have are amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to see you next year!
March 2025 - Two retired couples plus one from New York. Thank you for sharing your rental home with us. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. We look forward to returning next February/March. The restaurants we liked were Rising Tide, Sage Bistro and the Cocoa Beach Ale House. They were all excellent places to eat. Thanks Again!
March 2025 - Family of four from Colorado. Our family of four had a wonderful visit to the Space Coast in your lovely beach cottage. We enjoyed beach time, a trip to St. Augustine, kayaking with manatees at Blue Springs State Park and toured the Kennedy Space Center. We had a wonderful time!

Feb/March 2025 - Family of five from Minnesota. Thank you for the wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed the beach and our day trips to Universal Studios. Thank you so much for the heads up about the rocket launch; it was really cool! Our stay here really felt like a home away from home.
January 2025 - Family of six from Michigan. What can we say!! We had all the family here in a cozy, comfortable environment. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We ate, drank, and slept in comfort.

July/August 2024 - Family of five from Alabama. This was our first time visiting Cocoa Beach and we are so glad we did. This is a beautiful place to visit. This is a beautiful home and thank you for letting us stay. Our favorite restaurant was Coconuts On The Beach and The Fat Donkey has amazing ice cream. We visited a lot of different beaches during our stay. Thank you for your amazing home. We did not have to want for anything. 100% better than a hotel!

June 2024 - Family of six from Colorado. Thank you for welcoming us like family and opening up this lovely home. Nice and quiet, a lovely short walk to the beach. It was good to have a relatively "down" weekend before our cruise and Disney Vacation. Next time, maybe we will book for after Disney to wind down and relax before heading back to the real world. Getting to see the night SPACEX Falcon 9 launch from the beach was a highlight for us!.
May 2024 - Family of three from Illinois. We loved our stay and the local area. Your home was welcoming and cozy. The patio was perfect for early morning coffee. We also enjoyed access to beach gear. It was great not having to pack every little thing. The short walk to the beach was fantastic! We also booked and loved doing a kayak tour with A Day Away kayaking. Pier 62 was our go-to for food and cocktails. We are already discussing booking a return visit next year.
January/February 2024 - Family of four from Tennessee. We are grateful for the week we were blessed to come and stay here. The home is lovely. Very well stocked, clean, nice rugs on the tile floor. Kitchen and coffee maker are excellent. Bedrooms and mattresses are so comfy. Oh, now onto the yard....it is like a private tropical garden. We were out there almost everyday. So much peace and beauty. We grilled twice which was so nice. We saw two SPACECX launches. Magnificent! The beach is SO CLOSE! We enjoyed the beach several days.. Sun and sand were warm. We felt safe here and that is a super plus for us! We enjoyed the use of the washer and dryer. Neighbors are quiet, air is clean. We hope to come again next year!! Such a special home grown place!
January 2024 - Family of five from Tampa, Florida. Thankyou so much for letting us stay in your home. It was very comfortable and it was in an amazing location to visit the beach, Kennedy Space Center, and the Brevard County Zoo. Thankyou for informing us about the Falcon 9 rocket launch. Without that information, we would not have been able to see the launch.
November 2023 - Family of five from Seattle, Washington. Your house was just what we needed!

What makes this property unique
This home is conveniently located with quick access to the beach, restaurants and other local amenities. It is a wonderful location for a family vacation or holiday. We LOVE the beach, the parks, the Banana river, cruising, and the Orlando theme parks! While just steps from the beach, the house is also easily reached from the Orlando/Orlando airport area. We love the fact that once you land in Orlando, you can be ON THE BEACH in about an hour! The home is perfect for families. We love watching cruise ships sail in and out of the port, lying in the sun, the national seashore, visiting the theme parks, coming home to our own meals, and watching the manatees and dolphins! Disney and Universal are only 60 minutes away on the 4-lane Beachline Expressway (Florida State Route 528). We are located on the closest beach to Orlando and our home is the perfect place to split a theme park/beach vacation! Many of our past guests have also chosen to just stay on the coast and take the short drive to Orlando, cruise on a casino ship, or try their luck on a chartered fishing vessel. Others like to extend their cruise vacation by staying with us before or after their sail.
