Beachside Townhome on the barrier island
Lydia's place was literally a two minute walk from the wedding venue we came to attend. There was a lovely park right on the beach also just a two minute walk away. The neighborhood was quiet, and very near everything you'd need. It's a group of condos next to a commercial area, so there is no view from the condo. HOWEVER, the backyard is absolutely adorable. It's a pleasure to sit out there and relax. It's landscaped like a little oasis. The kitchen had what we needed and the appliances worked great. There was also a washer/dryer, plenty of towels, beach toys and chairs. The bathrooms were perfect, and it was amazing to have a separate bathroom for each of the three bedrooms. The bed was comfy. We had a few questions and Lydia got back to us quickly.

ocean paradise
Beautiful location on a very nice beach right next to the condo. Quiet, peaceful and very relaxing. Will definitely recommend and will use it again if we are lucky enough to be back in the area.

Waterfront Stateroom
The host communicated well and very timely! The place was beautiful and the location was great. I was surprised at how much you could see in the canal! The whole experience was excellent and I will definitely be back!

Paradise Beach Retreat
Bob's place is the perfect place to stay! The backyard is the perfect tropical, lush oasis to sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee. The home has everything you need and the fact that it's dog friendly is even better! My pups and I felt right at home! Friendly host and a welcoming retreat.😊

Hidden Gem Near Beach and Village
Great place and amazing host . More than what we expected and so happy to have booked a stay here . Highly recommend, super friendly and respectful

Salty Serenity Duplex #B 500 ft. to Cocoa Beach
Great old little beach house. Had everything we needed. Spent most of our time at the beach or the space center and it was nice to come back and be able to close the blackout curtains after being in the sun all day. The outdoor fenced area is great also!

Sunny escape~HOT TUB~USSSA~beach~family friendly
Great communication and perfect for what we needed for the little ones, 2 and 4. Even though it’s on a main road we didn’t feel it was overly noisy in the home. Would stay again!

Large 3/3 house across the street from the beach!
My family and friends had a beautiful time in cocoa beach. Renata was very responsive and gave us the precise location, instructions to get into the home and what to watch for. Renata also gave ideas of local residents and things to do with family and friends. We had 5 adults and 2 kids and had plenty of room!

Modern Dream Home with Pool - Near Cocoa Village
We booked this place for a place to stay before our cruise and it was perfect! The house is spotlessly clean and uncluttered, open and very nicely styled. My kids and I were able to chill-out! We loved the pool and great yard. The house is close to the village and filled with restaurants and shops. And we were 15 minutes from Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral. I wish we had a few days booked after our cruise to come back. I would recommend the house for families or no-kid adventures, great fit either way. I should note that Anee was very responsive and helpful in all communications.

Cozy Tropical Oasis
We enjoyed our stay! It was clean, comfortable and cozy. We spent a lot of time in the backyard, so it was perfect and fenced in for little ones. It included everything we needed from the kitchen to the bathrooms and beach accessories. Great host and responsive. Check-in and check-out were a smooth process, and expectations were clear and easily accessible. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home!

Vac Home Access to Beach & River!
Wow! Did not expect to be so blown away by our stay at John's place. The photos do not do John's amazing lil' strip of Banana River paradise justice. This spot is a REAL Florida getaway, hold all of the neon kitsch and nonsense: the apartment is pristine yet homey, decorated with shells found on the beach, hand-carved wooden turtles, and John's space race adventures. The rooms have nice quality linens and comfy beds, with ample light and good a/c. You can launch kayaks from the backyard, dolphin and manatee watch from the deck, walk 5 min to a quiet beach, and eat at good quality small businesses within a short drive. John has everything: kayaks, life jackets, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, showers and hoses to rinse off post-beach. We were only sad not to get to stay the whole week. Compared to other rentals in the area, this spot is a steal for four people. You won't regret booking – and we'll be back.

Close to the Beach 3 BR 2 BA Relaxing Townhome
Fantastic location across from the ocean. Close proximity to restaurants and park!

3 Bedroom Pool Home close to it all!
Tracy is a stellar host who takes seriously keeping her home beautiful clean and hospitable. She was always quick to respond to any questions or needs we had. She made sure we understood how to work the pool and where things were. Master bedroom was very comfortable and there were many areas in the home to relax. The lanai and pool area were great. The pool exceptionally clean and great for enjoying daily. We would rent again Tracy and thank you for everything!! We hope you to see you again in the future. Blessings, Paul and Nancy

Newly Renovated 2/1 Duplex Two Blocks From Beach!
Our family had a wonderful week staying here! The home was clean and free of clutter. It was easy to settle in like home! Loved that there were supplies for the beach and even a wagon to carry everything! Perfect proximity from the main street downtown Cocoa Beach. Short drive to the Space Center (which is a must!!!). Couldn't ask for anything better. We will be back!

Coral Beach House*POOL🏊♀️*KAYAK🛶*Walk to 🏖
The place has more than enough room for a big family. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood is quiet. The house is located within walking distance to town, where there’s shopping, restaurants, bars and the beach. It’s not too congested in the small town, which we loved not dealing with big crowds.

3br/2ba Home.. Minutes from Beach
Lovely home and spotless. Quiet neighborhood and fenced yard for our pups. Host very welcoming. Highly recommend this property.

Walk to Beach Kid/Pet Friendly Home Heated Pool
Our stay was fantastic! Everything was just as described and pictured. The pool area was great, very spacious for a large family. The house was very well stocked with any type of supplies you could possibly need from a beach wagon and chairs to garlic salt lol! If you think you forgot it, Tara probably has it there for you to borrow or use. We will definitely be returning to Tara’s properties in the future. I 100% recommend booking with Tara! Oh and the beach is dog friendly and has FREE parking. It’s within walking distance of the home as well. GREAT PLACE

Little Piece of Heaven, pool/spa, steps to beach!
Beautiful home, great host. Great family friendly area! Grandchildren really enjoyed your pool. Thanks for everything !

Pelican Point: Cozy home one block from the beach.
Great walkable location! We loved having the two stories with the bedrooms upstairs and living room/kitchen downstairs. It was helpful staying with the kids and having our own spaces. Michael is very responsive in answering all our needs and even went above and beyond and got a French press for coffee. The only complaint I would have is there was some noise from the neighbors a TV going on most of the time (all night long for a week) but it eventually sounded like white noise. The neighbor on the other side was partying late into the night but nothing that would stop us from staying here again as it only happened on the last night we were there. Our favorite part was the garage full of beach toys! The kids and I walked to the beach each day and use the boogie boards and the beach pails to build sand castles It was really great!

1 Block From Beach-Corn Hole- late checkout incl.
Great location a walk to the beach

Family Beach retreat, heated pool/tub, Orlando Fun
Great house, really good location with lots to do nearby. House has a great layout, worked really well for 9 adults staying together. Pool and Hot Tub were amazing, everyone loved it. BBQ was used for some great meals. House had everything we needed, we lots of space for all.

Spacious & Cozy
We had an enjoyable 5-week stay at Amber's place, working remotely. The house is comfortable and met our needs nicely, with two desks in different rooms, and a strong wifi signal. The kitchen opening-up to the living room provided a spacious feel, and the living room furniture was comfortable. We ate most of our meals in the "library" off of the kitchen, and the bookshelves were well stocked with a variety of books, board games, and puzzles. The screened room in the back was spacious and provided easy access to the fenced-in backyard. The neighborhood is quiet, the houses are well-kept, and we especially enjoyed walking to the nature preserve less than a mile away. The local beaches are clean and quiet, and less than a 20-minute drive from the house. It was a plus having access to the 2-car garage, and the cherry tomato plants in the back yard kept us supplied with delicious tomatoes! Amber was a great host, and went out of her way to accommodate an unexpected change in plans.

Cocoa Beach Zen
My friends and I had a wonderful girls getaway! It was quiet at the house with a beautiful backyard oasis to relax in! We also were able to walk to the beach and many other places around us. Close enough to everything Disney, but far enough to enjoy peace and quiet when needed! Michelle thought of everything when it comes to beach fun! I think had bikes, a wagon, cooler, chairs, and towels!

Palmdale Paradise
We had a great time. Lytia was very responsive and quickly responded when we needed something. The back deck was my family's favorite spot to hang out. The neighbors are super friendly. They waved and talked to us like we've been there for years. We plan to return years to come.
