Drift House: 4Bed/3Bath Heated Pool - East of A1A!
We had a nice stay at this property. We were two families with 5 children. There was plenty of room to play and the enclosed patio was nice. We had rainy weather so did not visit the nearby beach or use the pool. We had a couple of issues arise and the hosts were responsive, but because we only had a two night stay it really was not worth having them come clean or fix anything. The garage has a ping pong table that we did use and kept the kiddos busy while we got ready. The primary bathroom is large and accommodating. The kitchen was wonderful to sit around and have the kids eat or color etc. overall great. Would recommend.

Luxury Beach & Pool House Oasis
Robert and Krista's duplex was great for our family. We had plenty of space. The backyard was so relaxing. We enjoyed the pool, and both units had many games for family time. We could eat all together outside at the table and gather around the fire pit. It was a vacation before the vacation and we enjoyed every minute. Robert was the perfect host.

Villa On The Beach
Property was great location, clean and host was very very friendly. Price was little high but property was great.

Beachside Townhome on the barrier island
This is a nice place in Indian Harbor Beach, Florida. Very close to the beach and other places of interest. Very spacious, two floors with plenty of beds and places to sleep. Big dining area, kitchen, and living room.

Seaside Villa beach front, with pvt pool, hot tub
We had a wonderful family stay at Tim’s place- it was the perfect getaway. The home has all the amenities needed, the views are breathtaking, it’s very spacious and the pool was a plus when kids wanted a break from the ocean. It is far enough away from everything that it’s peaceful and relaxing but close enough for grocery trips and restaurants. Best part was the stars at night and catching a rocket launch. Truly felt like we were staying with family, warm and inviting. Would definitely return!

Beautiful 2 Bdrm Oceanview Condo In Cocoa Beach!
We enjoyed staying at Kay's condo. It was lovely, clean and well-stocked with all the necessary items for a short stay. I appreciated the spotless well-supplied kitchen, and the "beach closet" with beach chairs, boogie boards and even sunscreen. The unit was only steps away from the spectacular beach, and a short walk to the quirky "downtown" Cocoa Beach. Our only regret was not staying longer.

Cocoa Beach Vacay
This place was a dream. Super close to the beach, and a short walk to restaurants and cafes. The house itself is spacious and relaxing, and we loved hanging out in the screened porch.

Heated Pool Walk to Beach Kid/Pet Friendly Home
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

ocean paradise
David’s place is absolutely beautiful and just as described. Response time was great and I received clear instructions. Check in was easy. Everything was provided that we needed and everything was very clean. My husband and I stayed for 3 days and would have loved to stay longer. We had a very relaxing time. Sitting on the balcony and watching the waves was peaceful. David’s place is a very nice place to unwind. I stayed at David’s place last year and this year and I hope to return again.

Paradise Beach Retreat
Absolutely awesome place to stay!! Unfortunately, we had terrible weather while we were there but the beach was so close you are able to walk. Bob provided chairs, umbrella, etc. for the beach but again we didn't get to use them. This house is just as described and perfect for any length of stay. The beds were comfortable, towels provided, plenty of closet space with hangers and kitchen stocked with anything you might need to use. Plenty of room in bedrooms with dressers, etc if you need them. We had everything we needed and if we had needed anything Bob lives right next door and is available to ask. Bob greeted us upon our arrival and showed us how to enter the house which was nice. There are laundry facilities to use. We will definitely be back in the future as it was perfect for our family and felt like a home away from home!! Thanks Bob!

Family Beach retreat, heated pool/tub, Orlando Fun
Have been staying at this house for several years for an annual girls trip and it never disappoints. The host is very responsive and the house is thoughtfully appointed and well designed.

Cute cozy house with Private back yard
Jazmine’s place was very clean. Our kids enjoyed playing in the fun backyard. It was great to be able to do a load of laundry at the end of our trip. Jazmine was very accommodating with providing us with an early check in option when the weather wasn’t initially cooperating. Fortunately, the weather improved and we didn’t need to use the early check in, but it was great to have an option. Thank you, Jazmine.

Hidden Gem Near Beach and Village
Really enjoyed our stay. Loved the backyard and patio area with new comfortable chairs. Very comfortable bed. Got good nights sleep every night. Very well stocked, had everything we needed. Lee is very friendly and helpful.

Downtown Melbourne Bungalow
The place was wonderful and great location. Ashley was very nice and quick with responses!

Salty Serenity Duplex #B 500 ft. to Cocoa Beach
I booked this last minute quick getaway for my husband's birthday. great location bring so close to the beach. Biggest perk was getting to bring our fur babies with us and having a fenced in back yard for them. it was the perfect cozy spot. oh and that king mattress was phenomenal, so comfortable. my husband and I really like cocoa beach and I think for any multiple day trips this will be our place to stay again. Julia has so many local recommendations that were great too.

Hacienda 4bed/2bath (Heated) Pool Sleep 12 in Beds
We came in and stayed while playing in a USSSA youth baseball tournament at Space Coast Complex in Viera. The complex was super easy to get to from the house. The house was in a lovely quite neighborhood. KC checked in with us frequently and I felt completely comfortable at the home. Also, I felt confident if we needed anything KC would make sure we had whatever we may need. We were at the park all day each day and needed a quiet comfortable place to rest. This was the perfect place for that! We enjoyed our stay.

Your guide to Cocoa Beach
All About Cocoa Beach
Cocoa Beach is best known for three things: sun, spacecraft, and surfing. Located on Florida’s Space Coast, just south of Cape Canaveral, this quintessential beach town has front-row seats to Kennedy Space Center launches. Fans of astronautics come to tour the site, visit the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, and train in shuttle simulators.
Back in town, it’s all about fun in the sun on the clean, wide beaches — but watch out for nesting sea turtles between March and September. Book a surfing lesson or paddle out on your own — Cocoa Beach is widely considered one of the best surf spots in Florida. It’s home to the Florida Surf Museum and the world’s largest surf shop. For outdoor adventurers, there are also several parks in town with beach access, nature trails, and boardwalks. The River Lakes Conservation Area, Canaveral National Seashore, and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge are all less than an hour away.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cocoa Beach
With consistently warm and sunny days, beach weather here lasts all year. Summers are hot and humid — perfect for taking a dip in the ocean — and temperatures hover around 85 degrees Fahrenheit, sometimes climbing to 90. Like other subtropical destinations, Cocoa Beach has passing summer storms and the occasional hurricane from June through November, but the skies usually clear quickly after the rain. Floridians will tell you that winters here get chilly, but if you live in a colder climate, you might find that the 70-degree temperatures in December and January are downright balmy. Still, it can dip into the low 50s at night, so pack layers for evenings. Summer brings vacationing families, and the warm winters attract snowbirds, so visit in spring and fall if you prefer fewer crowds.
Top things to do in Cocoa Beach
Cocoa Beach Pier
No trip to Cocoa Beach is complete without a stroll along the Cocoa Beach Pier. Jutting 800 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, the pier is lined with restaurants and shops and often hosts live music. The beach here has volleyball courts, and it’s considered one of the best places in town to surf.
Thousand Islands Conservation Area
The sands and surf of Cocoa Beach often get all the attention, but the tranquil saltwater marshes and mangroves of the Thousand Islands Conservation Area are equally beautiful. Book a kayaking tour to experience them best.
Alan Shepard Park
Named after the famous astronaut, this five-acre oceanfront park is one of the best places in town to watch a space launch. But even if there’s nothing on the Kennedy Space Center’s calendar, Shepard Park is a great place to spend a beach day, with a playground, 10 picnic pavilions, additional covered picnic tables, and shower and restroom facilities.
