About this property

Oceanfront home w/ backyard & pool

Summary:

Welcome to The Heartland - a vintage 1949 oceanfront cottage in Cocoa Beach, where private beach access, a sparkling pool & old-Florida charm come together for an unforgettable coastal escape.



- Sleeps 8 | 5 bedrooms | 6 beds | 3.5 baths

- Private oceanfront lot w/ 100ft of direct beach access

- Pool, raised deck, covered patio & fire pit

- Beach essentials included - towels, umbrella & snorkel gear

- 2 blocks to downtown dining, surf shops & tiki bars

- Watch rocket launches from the backyard



The Space:

The salt air hits you before you even open the door. Set on a private oceanfront lot with 100 feet of direct beach access, The Heartland is a vintage 1949 beach cottage that carries the soul of old Florida - sun-bleached wood, ceiling fans turning slow, and the Atlantic stretching out in front of you like it belongs to nobody else. This is the kind of place where vacation actually feels like vacation.



Living space

Inside, the home's mid-century bones are very much intact. Natural light floods the cozy living area, where soft seating invites you to sink in after a morning in the surf. The open layout keeps things relaxed and social, with plenty of room for the whole group to gather without anyone feeling crowded. A dedicated workspace is available if you need it, but the ocean views make a compelling case for logging off entirely.



Sleeping arrangements

Five bedrooms sleep up to 8 guests across 6 beds, each room carrying its own quiet warmth. Wake up to the sound of waves, and wind down each evening to the hum of ceiling fans and the gentle rhythm of the sea. Bed linens, extra pillows and blankets, and clothing storage are all provided.



Kitchen & dining

The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook at home - refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster, baking sheet, wine glasses, and a full set of dishes and silverware. Cooking basics like pots, pans, oil, salt and pepper are included. Pull up a chair at the dining table for a proper sit-down meal, or grab your coffee and take it straight to the patio.



Bathrooms

Three and a half bathrooms keep the morning routine moving for larger groups. Each is stocked with shampoo, body soap, and a hair dryer, with hot water and cleaning products on hand.



Outdoor space

The real draw is outside. A sparkling pool sits at the centre of the property, flanked by a shaded raised deck and a covered patio - ideal for January afternoons when Florida's winter sun still carries warmth without the summer intensity. String lights, outdoor furniture, and a fire pit round out the space. Beyond the deck, 100 feet of private oceanfront lot opens directly onto the beach. Beach towels, an umbrella, a beach blanket, and snorkeling gear are all provided.



Location

The Heartland sits two blocks from the heart of downtown Cocoa Beach - an easy walk to seafood restaurants, surf shops, tiki bars, local breweries, and eclectic cafés. The Cocoa Beach Pier is accessible by bike, and the Space Coast's famous rocket launches are visible right from the backyard. For families, couples, or a group of friends, this stretch of barrier island offers as much or as little as you want - from quiet beach mornings to full days of surfing, exploring, and dining out.



Essentials are fully covered: Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, washer and dryer, iron, hangers, a fire extinguisher, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and a first aid kit. Self check-in via smart lock. Long-term stays are welcome. Free parking on premises.



The Neighborhood:

Located in a prime spot on the barrier island, The Heartland puts you close to everything Cocoa Beach has to offer—yet gives you the space to truly unwind. With downtown Cocoa Beach just two blocks away, you’re a short walk from shops, dining, and entertainment. Enjoy the laid-back beach town vibe, and when you're ready to recharge, retreat to your peaceful, private cottage by the sea. Book your unforgettable stay today and experience true beachfront bliss.

Absolutely beautiful inside and out! The inside was clean, charming and so well stocked! This was an unexpected and unplanned trip to Florida for a family health emergency. We were thankful to be able to get in on a specific day and for the availability. Hospitality was exceptional. A wonderful place to act as home base and to allow rest and conversation. Will be watching for availability in the future, a perfect and beautiful home base!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is amazing and most of the stay was spent enjoying the outside amenities including the pool and wonderful covered porch with views of the ocean. House is a quirky 1950s cottage (ceiling height in lower level not meant for tall people) but was overall cozy. Any issues that cropped up were quickly responded to by the host which was much appreciated! It does have a small charcoal grill we referred to as the baby Weber, but we were still able to cook for 8 people on it! Bonus we were also able to watch the rocket launch right from the raised deck which was awesome!!

The host was very responsive the circuit breaker was flipped for the air conditioner and they walked us through how to reset it. There was no power in one bathroom they sent a maintenance man out promptly. The location was great, house was nice. There were no hot pads for using the oven. The pool is very nice, beach is beautiful. Plenty of room in the house

The outdoor space and the location were everything! We loved being able to walk right on the beach and into the downtown. The pool and deck were so awesome! The inside of the home is quite dated. There are no lamps in the bedrooms, which made reading in bed a challenge. The outlets in the master bath did not work either. Theceilings in the basement where most of the bedrooms are are quite low, which worked for us because that’s where we put the kids.

We had a nice stay! Old, sturdy home was solid during strong storms. We had no worries. Well equipped and comfortable. Love being on the ocean! Awesome beach. Note pool is not heated. We couldn’t even use it as it was so cold from days of rain although it was warming up when we left. Ceiling fans and a/c were great. Take note there are stairs to enter the home after a walk around to the front Oceanside of the house where the door is. No garage access.
