Pre-cruise stay
Relaxing stay for three couples before taking a cruise. Enjoyed the spacious house and time spent outside watching the dolphins, manatees, pelicans, and all the wildlife. Wish the weather would have been warm enough to enjoy the pool.
We had a great time. The house is huge. We really enjoyed the wild life outside and seeing a couple rocket launches. Would absolutely stay again !

Birthday Celebration
My daughter and granddaughters flew in from VA to celebrate my 78th birthday. The beach house was PERFECT for all of us. The eclectic home provided us with everything we needed. It's only a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the grocery store. Every morning my daughter and I enjoyed a cup of coffee on the patio watching the sea birds, dolphins, and manatees. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday and plan to make this an annual event.

Thank you so much for the great review!!! We will be so happy to have you back!
The house was great. 6 of us stayed after a cruise. There is lots of space and the views are wonderful. We saw dolphins, manatees and many birds. There was a wagon with chairs and an umbrella and a cooler to take to the beach which we took advantage of. The location can’t be beat!
Extremely clean with all of the accommodations you need. Great location on the corner of the inland waterway and a quick walk to the beach and restaurants.

From the owner: "Thank you so much for the great review, and we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay!"
We loved the location of this house. It was a quick five minute walk to beach access on 2nd St., South. You are also very close to the downtown area. We loved being on the canal, although a dock with easier access to the water would be nice. The house has plenty of space with three large bedrooms each with their own bath and a fourth bedroom that we used as an office. The back sunroom/family room was a wonderful family gathering space. The kitchen had everything that we needed for making family meals. There were plenty of towels, both beach and bath, which was appreciated. Beautiful sunsets from the patio. We would definitely stay again.

This was such a great house to stay at in Cocoa Beach. You can walk to the beach just down the street, sit on the back porch and see the manatees in the morning and even take a short walk for the best tacos in town! Will definitely recommend you stay here!
We had a great time staying in this home, we were in the area for baseball so when we had down time it was fun to hang out and fish on the banana river and go
To the ocean, we saw an alligator, manatees, dolphins and lots of other fish in the waterway.

Spent long weekend before our cruise at this property. Loved location of house, very peaceful and beautiful to sit and watch the manatees, birds and dolphins. Property very clean, just dated in kitchen and bathrooms. Walking distance to beach and many restaurants.
We loved this home so much! It was very spacious and had a cool retro vibe. The views were awesome and we loved sitting outside fishing, reading or just watching the wildlife and sunsets. We saw manatees and dolphins and lots of birds. We found ourselves wanting to spend most of our time at the house We will definitely be back!

Birthday week on the river.
This is a very cool old Florida style house with great views. Sitting in the pool and watching the sun drop is very cool. There is plenty of room for a few couples or family. It's a short walk to the beach or for restaurants but it's far enough away to be nice and quiet. If you decide to stay read the book on day one. There are helpful tips from the hoste and other guests about the home.

Thank you so much for the terrific review and I am glad that you enjoyed the mid century vibe. Hope you will stay again😊
Location is great and home is nicely furnished. The waterway is lovely and sunsets are gorgeous.
The trip with our grandchildren to visit Kennedy Space Center was a hit! The house is near restaurants and lots of shops too… we enjoyed PaPa Vito’s and Jazzy’s Mainly Lobster and Seafood.

The house was exactly as described. There was plenty of room for 6 of us. We enjoyed the pool on a hot day and loved the river views everyday! We saw dolphins and manatees!
The house was spotless on arrival, had all the amenities needed in the kitchen. The pool was nice. We were able to see both dolphins and manatee in the waters next to the house which was a great added treat. Plenty of room and a great location. The beach is close enough to walk. We were also able to see a space launch while we were there. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place could use some updating for sure but it’s clean, comfortable and provides all you need. There were trash bags, dishwasher/laundry detergent, dryer sheets, toilet paper. Beautiful location on the Banana River! Like so many others, we saw dolphins, manatees and other wildlife right outside the kitchen door. Saw 2 rocket launches as well. We’ll be back!
