Cape Crossing Resort
We loved staying at the Airbnb. Clean, cozy and everything we needed to feel at home. You can walk to a restaurant, pool and gym. It was very close to the Kennedy Space Center. We had a great stay! Thank you!

3 mi to Beach! Lr, ktch, bd, bth. Water veiws!
Our stay at Alexandra's was truly exceptional and completely exceeded all my expectations. The listing promised a peaceful, relaxing, and restful experience, and it delivered on every single count. Everything was meticulously maintained and exactly as depicted in the photos and description. If you're looking for a place to disconnect and find tranquility, look no further, truly. I highly recommend this wonderful spot and will book again in the future!

TRUE on the beach vacation 2 bdrm 3 beds 1 bath
Family vacation after driving 8 hours. We were allowed to check in early, which was amazing since we had an 8 month old with us. We could see the beach from the house. Would definitely stay again

Sail Away at Tuscany Sun - Oceanfront Studio Suite
A great location, peaceful, quiet and the view of the beach is to die for. The host Lindsey was a great host. I would stay here again. Thank you Lindsey.

Satellite Beach 50 Steps to Ocean from Backdoor
What a great place! Totally recommend, especially if you have beach plans.

River Views 1bd/1ba FULL APT Kayaks Walk to EGAD q
Unparalleled location!

Ocean View Retreat
This place has it all: location, privacy and cost. Sherman and Marlena are the sweetest hosts you can ever imagine and masters of hospitality. Truly it was all the little touches that made this trip worth it: well stocked kitchen with SHARP knives (that’s pretty rare when you stay in a lot of airbnbs), the binder with all the restaurants they recommended, and all the beach gear you’d need. What really makes this place stand out is the landscaping and the deck. The large deck, multiple chairs, umbrellas, and wash stations are fantastic. You don’t even have to leave the deck to enjoy the peace and beauty of the ocean. We have never travelled to a place with an environment that made relaxation so simple. Thank you for wonderful anniversary trip.

Beachfront Condo 30 seconds walk to sand with Pool
I had a wonderful experience in Scott’s rental. It was the perfect place to unwind in a home away from home. The beach also was not over crowded. He always responded quickly. He left all we needed including beach chairs, toys, umbrellas. As well as home necessities.
Waterfront house rentals

Happiness Cove - Waterfront House
Happiness Cove is aptly named! It was a fantastic retreat for our family with plenty to do in the house. The amenities in house house, the views, and the ‘little things’ set this property apart from every AirBnb we’ve rented in the past. Will stay again…frankly didn’t want to leave! Great hosts - thank you!

LoOK FOR $50 dAY Waterfront/Hot Tub USSSA CocoaBc
This was a magical place! We loved kayaking in the kayaks provided, off of our very own dock. We loved watching dolphins swim in the canal next to the house. Kathy is a great host! She was so responsive and accommodating! We want to return again!

Coral Beach House*POOL🏊♀️*KAYAK🛶*Walk to 🏖
This place is amazing! We had the best time on our family spring break! Morning coffees on the deck while watching dolphins, manatee, sting ray and ducks were a family favorite. We kayaked almost everyday and were treated to dolphin sightings and the most picture perfect sunsets. We were lucky enough to see FOUR space launches! You are a quick walk to the beach and many restaurants and shops. Thank you, Heather, for a fantastic experience and the perfect family getaway!

Seasons in the Sun | Cocoa Beach, Florida
Everything was prefect for a place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Great location close to everything quick Walk to the beach.. Beautifully decorated and spacious. Comfy Beds and perfect for a family or a group of friends. Pool, Hot tub, & Game-room were amazing!! Zenna was wonderful to accommodate us from check in to check out! Definitely coming back ..Totally recommend..

Newly renovated waterfront house
I am very familiar with the area around Charles’s place as we usually stay with an elderly aunt one block over. I’ve always wondered what the canals were like and I’m so glad we stayed at Charles’s place to enjoy the wildlife and scenery — alligator, manatees galore, huge crane, etc. The house was newly updated and immaculate. Wish we could have stayed longer but we will be back next year. I don’t usually have a preference to stay in a place more than once but this home was just perfect.

Private Retreat heated pool spa steps from beach
This home is a dream. The proximity to the beach is superb, but once you step into the backyard and your private oasis, you'll be tempted to stay there. The house is beautifully decorated with every detail you can imagine. The beds were comfortable, with plenty of pillows provided. The kitchen is spacious and the layout of the house with two living rooms allows your party to do their own thing when they want to. The backyard was the highlight for us. The landscaping provides pure seclusion. During the day we relaxed in the pool loungers and every evening we would relax in the spa and then dry off under the patio lights by the table fire pit. We did not need to bring over half of what we did because so many amenities and beach items are provided. I can't think of one negative thing to say except we didn't stay long enough!

5 Minutes Walk to Indian River with Manatees
My fiancé and I stayed here for a week while in town tending to my father's affairs, and we would definitely stay here again. The place is very convenient and well kept. The Internet is fast, and it's more than sufficient for streaming, watching online content, or attending Zoom meetings if you need to get some work done while there. The house is well kept, and has a lovely outdoor area with a playground for your children, as well as a grill where you can do some outdoor cooking if you're so inclined. If you don't want to cook for yourself, the property is within walking distance (about 1/2 - 3/4 mile) to all of the restaurants in the Cocoa Village area. There is a variety of food choices available there for connoisseurs of food and fine wine. Lastly, if the beach is your thing, it is only a short drive to the sunny shores of Cocoa Beach. We would definitely stay here again.

3BD Waterfront Retreat. Space Casita!
Lovely Airbnb! And the absolutely best host! Daniel was very kind and accommodating, updating us with rocket launch info and recommendations for nearby restaurants. He even went above and beyond and took us for a ride on his boat! He was great with my kids and gave us an experience we will never forget. He’s a genuinely good person and will make sure you have everything you need for a great stay. The home was also very clean and had everything we needed for our stay including beach chairs, towels and even kayaks to use! We fell in love with Merritt Island and cannot wait to go back and stay at Daniel’s again. Do not hesitate to book!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Unobstructed ocean view/EZ to Pool & Beach #16
Would 100% stay here again. You can tell everything in the condo was thought out, and they have everything you would need plus more. Being that I had to fly in, there were definitely things I could not bring with me that I wish that I could have that were thankfully at the condo once I arrived, which took that stress off of me. The beach was easy to access and extremely quiet which we loved. 10/10

Beach Life at its best, 1 Block to Beach
Very convenient location. Everything you will ever need was furnished. Clean, comfortable and one block from the beach. I would stay at Linda’s condo again. Highly recommended.

Direct oceanfront + VIEWS in downtown Cocoa Beach!
This is our second year coming here and Ana and Paul somehow exceeded the amazing experience we had with them last year! They are the best hosts we have ever had. Ana feels like talking to a friend, not a host. They go above and beyond with communication and accommodating some requests we had. This place is like heaven. The most amazing sunrises and sunsets. The easy access to the beach. The fun area with something for everyone. We've decided this is our home away from home and plan on making many more years of memories here. Thank you Ana and Paul ❤️

Oceanfront 1 bedroom with parking on premises
Conveniently located near the beach and walking distance to a variety of food places. Beautiful view of the beach and clear view of the launch that occurred on our last day. She texted to give us a heads up of the launch so that was above and beyond. The unit was very clean, well stocked and organized. Great host and she provided immediate response to any questions we had. Thank you.

First floor beach condo
We arrived after a long day of travel, parked in the garage, unloaded and changed for the beach. Everything, I mean everything, was perfect. Our rooms were exactly what you want to walk into for a perfect beach vacation. Jeanne has stocked cupboards in the kitchen and bath, and closets full of beach equipment. The yard is beautiful and relaxing to lounge in also. The laundry is wonderful, stocked with supplies and free. The other guests were great too, very private and quiet units. We highly recommend Jeanne’s place!

Sea Breeze Retreat - Direct Ocean Front, Two Bedro
Very peaceful yet close to activities. The hosts have a good sense of all those little things that make a stay not only enjoyable (free fun beach seats and toys), but also comfortable (a slew of “Oh, crud, I forgot X” items like lint rollers, floss, etc.” Very thoughtful!

Serene Harbor View+ Pool in Heart of DT Melbourne
We had a horrific dog friendly experience stay several months ago elsewhere, so was a bit worried! But the reviews and pictures of Michelles place looked good, but hard to recover from a bad rental experience. I would have to say her rental was so exceptional that I feel good again about renting from her again or others that rent to people with dogs. Just because I have dog or dogs doesn't mean I live in filth, and I could tell Michelle gets that! Her place was plenty big for the two of us with our dog and centrally located. I appreciated that she seemed to think of everything someone would need. The bed was comfortable as my back can give me issues at times. All in all, I would highly recommend this home away from home!

Beachfront Newly remodelled Condo with pool.
Absolutely loved our stay! The place was beautifully remodeled and everything was squeaky clean — you can tell a lot of care went into preparing it. Fully furnished with everything we needed, it felt like a home away from home. What really stood out was the easygoing check-out process. Olga made it clear that she wanted us to enjoy our last hours without stressing about cleaning or following a long list of rules. That kind of hospitality makes all the difference. Highly recommend!
