Waterfront retreat near beach w/ private pool

Summary:

Welcome to your Cocoa Beach getaway - just 1 block from the surf, with everything you need after a day at the beach.



- Sleeps 4 | 1 bedroom | 2 beds | 1 bath

- 1 min walk to the beach

- Covered patio w/ outdoor furniture & BBQ grill

- Beach essentials (towels, umbrella, snorkeling gear)

- Free parking on premises & free street parking

- Self check-in w/ keypad - no coordinating arrival times



The Space:

Step outside and you're already one block from the Atlantic - flip-flops on, sand calling, salt air drifting in. This one-bedroom Cocoa Beach apartment keeps things simple: a short walk to the water, a comfortable place to land in between, and easy access to the rest of the beach town around you.

Living space

Inside, the mood is playful and beach-bright. A mural inspired by the classic surf film "The Endless Summer" sets the tone in the living area, paired with colorful art and vintage fabric patterns throughout. Settle into the sofa - which unfolds into a bed for additional guests - and turn on the TV, with A/C and heating keeping things comfortable no matter the weather outside. A dedicated workspace is tucked into the apartment if you need to check in on work before heading back out to the beach.



Sleeping arrangements

The bedroom holds a queen-size bed, while the living room sofa unfolds to sleep extra guests, for a total of 4. Bed linens, towels, and extra pillows and blankets are provided, along with hangers and storage space for your clothing.



Kitchen & dining

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, with a stove, an electric range, an oven, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Cooking basics, dishes, and silverware are on hand, along with a coffee maker, coffee, and a toaster for easy mornings. A bistro table for two gives you a spot to plan the day over breakfast.



Bathroom

The full bathroom includes a bathtub, hot water, a hair dryer, and cleaning products, shampoo, and body soap to keep you stocked throughout your stay.



Outdoor & extras

Outside, a covered patio is tucked into tropical landscaping, furnished for relaxing or eating al fresco, with a backyard and a BBQ grill nearby. Beach essentials - towels, an umbrella, a beach blanket, and snorkeling gear - are provided, so you can head straight for the water. Free parking is available on the premises, with free street parking nearby, and self check-in with a keypad means no coordinating arrival times.



Location

You're one minute from the beach on foot, with restaurants, the Pier, and Ron Jon's all within easy walking distance. Disney and Universal Studios are about an hour's drive away if you want a day inland. A laundromat is also nearby for longer stays. This apartment and complex have been owned and run by the same Cocoa Beach family for three generations - longtime locals sharing their favorite stretch of Florida coastline with every guest who stays.



Guest Access:

We provide keyless entry with digital door locks.



The Neighborhood:

Merritt Island is located on Florida's largest island, which serves as the home of NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Meet an astronaut, enjoy the automated thrills of the Shuttle Launch Experience and explore other interactive displays.



Wildlife lovers and birdwatchers: be sure to check out nearby Banana River, a 31-mile lagoon with salt marshes, oyster beds and mangrove swamps that are home to dolphins, manatees, blue herons and more.



Getting Around:

Plenty of space for on site parking. Very close to SR528 and SR520 intersections that will each get you anywhere you want to be quickly. (Orlando is less than 40 min away)

Great stay

Great Stay! Great sun in the pool and screened area. Enjoyed fishing off the dock and fenced yard for our dog. House was clean and had good layout for our group of friends. We got lucky and we were able to see a rocket launch from the deck. Lots to do in the area. Close to everything. Would stay at this location again!

Mango Season!

Six adults: our daughter, her fiancé, her soon to be in laws, my husband and myself all had plenty of room and enjoyed the pool and the fishing dock! We took short trips to hunt and pick mango, kayak the bioluminescence and visit the Mecum car auction in Orlando. The house was a perfect base and place to relax!

Great Home

The home was very nice. Completely remodeled. Great view of the water on the canal. Wished the pool had an option to heat. Beautiful pool. The house was clean. The neighborhood was upscale and we felt very safe walking around the neighborhood. Any questions we had were answered promptly. Would definitely stay again.

Water front Florida stay

The house is a corner style house and from the outside it doesn't look like the pictures will match the inside photos. The interior of the house was warm and receiving and my family enjoyed all of it. The pool and the water way were nice to look at all day as my Family swim in the pool. The game room was nice and there was plenty of space for the different age group s.
