Our first thought was - this is tiny. To be fair- the description clearly stated it was small. So many positives though- plenty of room for two people who always... read more pack way too much. Drawers under the bed, spacious closet, drawers in the bathroom, all updated, extremely clean, beautiful towels and linens on the bed, walking distance to the beach and drive up, unload, seamless keyless entry. No long walk to schlepp all your stuff up stairs or in elevators. We parked in front of our door and then parked the car a few yards away. Great location! I’d definitely stay here again.
Multiple rooms so it’d be perfect for a family reunion- everyone has their own space and a nice grill area to gather by and cook. Highly recommend.
Jennifer
We really enjoyed our stay! We loved how close it was to the beach and the amount of options for restaurants and things to do. The condo was clean... read more and updated. Just the right amount of space for 2 of us!

Amazing stay. Clean room and bathroom. The beach accessories are very useful and it’s right next to the beach.
Aditya
The place is brand new and everything was exactly as described! Great location, perfect check in / out process.
Pavel
Lovely room on a private and classy property just steps away from the beach. Wonderful for a weekend beach getaway. Skip the cruise hotel and stay here instead!
Zach
My husband and I booked this Airbnb last minute for our babymoon to the Space Coast, and it was perfect! The title says it all: coastal efficiency at its finest.... read more The space had everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. Plus, the check-in and check-out process was seamless. A great spot for enjoying rocket launches and close to the beautiful beach!
Sin Ying
Quite close to a beach entrance boardwalk - one that didn't have public parking, so it wasn't crowded at all. Very well kept, modern, and easy to find and park.... read more Would recommend.

Great location, very clean! Although in the pictures it looks small it’s actually very spacious and exactly what we needed!
Lillian
This spot is just perfect! Truly! Easy walk to the beach, laundry machines, quiet and peaceful, loved the inside and it’s just such a sweet little place for a needed... read more getaway. Great price too! Lots of things to do and all within walking distance if you don’t feeling like driving, which we didn’t. You’d be making a great choice booking here! Thanks you guys, great job! We will definitely be coming back very soon! And we’ve already told everybody we know about you!

Even if the space is small, it had everything we needed that it felt right. The space was utilized well and the amenities reflected the thought in the design of... read more the space. We were very comfortable during our stay. Would stay here again when we go back to Cocoa Beach.
Ana
The 1 room rental was fabulous! Everything you need in a small space! Very short walk to the beach, area restaurants, and a fun neighborhood bar! The property manager was... read more great! And showed us a few of the bigger units, and they were beautiful! We Will be back soon!!
Keith
This was our second stay, and we'll be back! This peaceful spot is so close to the beach, and we love all of the beach supplies available for use: chairs,... read more umbrellas, etc. Our accommodations were clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortable, and the kitchen is so handy for meals.
Meredith
Perfect spot near Port Canaveral! One minute walk to the beach, quick Uber ride to the port. Adorable micro-boutique AirBnb. Small space, but it had plenty of space for storage... read more (full closet and drawers under the bed) with wonderful interior design. Looks exactly like the pictures. My only critique was that the pillows fell flat as you slept, not great for neck support and I didn't sleep well. I communicated that detail with the host, all is well! I highly recommend.
Danielle
A slice of heaven! Loved every minute of the stay! Wish it could have been longer. It was clean and the amenities included were great for going to the beach.... read more Grilled a magnificent meal with some neighbors and had a blast one night. The bed was so comfy!
Sarah
we had a great 2 night stay in a lovely boutique apartment at a lovely location in Cocoa Beach. The unit was part of a small selective villa complex... read more with parking and laundry and beach accessories all available. The beach is beautiful and so close! There's also some nice restaurants within short walking distance.
We had a hire car pick up that was 10 minutes walk away to get too. But the best thing is the access to Kennedy Space Centre and other attractions in Florida.
The apartment is in a quiet, safe area and has everything you need if you are spending most of your time out at the beach or visiting attractions. Lina, our host, was lovely and responsive. They have bigger units for longer stays too - so worth looking into even with kids - next door had a family staying.
Highly recommend on that basis.
Thanks

The 5 star reviews are legit and I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting the ability to have a short walk to the beach or bars/restaurants! The best part... read more is that all beach needs are include with your stay and easily accessible. Our host was very informative and quick at responding with any question. The pictures are exactly what your place looks like and there are no surprises. I will definitely be back and book again!

Isaiha
Perfect place for a couple to stay! Loved how close it was to the beach! It was cute and clean inside!
Alexis
My stay was great. It was nice and quiet. The beach is within walking distance as well as a winery. I do question the $55 cleaning cost when the expectation... read more is for guests to take out the trash prior to leaving, to leave the towels in the shower, and to wash any dishes. This won’t deter me from staying again. It’s just that the cleaning costs and the service fee are nearly the price of a one night stay. When a party of one is staying the price of cleaning seems a little steep. Again, this won’t deter me from staying again. Overall, I enjoyed my time. One thing I would add is to provide instructions on how to close the blinds on the door as it took me a while to figure out.
