⠀
Living space
The bright, open living area is set up for easy relaxation, anchored by updated furniture and a large smart TV. When you need to spread out, the bonus office doubles as extra sleeping space - fitted with a queen sleeper sofa and a dedicated workspace, so remote work or an overflow guest is never a problem.

⠀
Kitchen & dining
The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook from scratch or throw together a quick meal - refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster, and full cooking basics. Dining inside is easy with the dedicated dining table, and outside, a BBQ grill and outdoor dining set let you take full advantage of the fenced backyard.
⠀
Backyard & pool
The private pool and fully fenced, tropically landscaped yard are the heart of this home. Swim laps, fire up the grill, or settle into the outdoor furniture as the afternoon stretches on. Beach essentials - including towels, an umbrella, a beach blanket, and snorkeling gear - are provided so your days at Cocoa Beach start without a trip to the store. Bikes are also available for exploring the neighborhood.
⠀
Bathrooms
Two full bathrooms, one of which is a private ensuite off the primary bedroom. Both are stocked with shampoo, body soap, hair dryer, and cleaning products.
