Drift House: 4Bed/3Bath Heated Pool - East of A1A!
Wonderful place to stay. We hoped to see the rocket launch but it didn't happen. We were a group of 7, grandparents, parents, and grandchildren. We only stayed one night but the screen room and pool was the family gathering area and enjoyed by all.

Luxury Beach & Pool House Oasis
This villa was a perfect girls trip location! The smallest of details in this home made it so cute! The villas were clean and spacious and the backyard was so relaxing and fun! I will definitely be back to this location.

Brand new property. Direct Riverfront with Pool!
This place was marvelous. What an amazing view! We saw dolphins and other ocean wildlife daily - just magnificent. The pool was great and we enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. The home was clean and had everything we needed. Bathroom was large and very comfortable. The area was quiet and great for riding bikes or a nice jog. It was a great stay. Would love to come back. Really made for an incredible vacation. Thank you!

2nd floor beach condo
Our stay at Cocoa Beach Villas was absolutely wonderful! The beachfront location is unbeatable—just a few steps away from the ocean. The condo unit was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed: a kitchen stocked with essentials, a cozy living room, clean linens, and a balcony that became our favorite spot. Watching the sunrise with coffee from the balcony was a highlight of our trip. The villa was spacious and comfortably accommodated our family of five. If you're looking for a relaxing, no-fuss beach vacation, Cocoa Beach Villas is the perfect destination. We'll definitely be back for another stay! Highly recommend.

Vac Home Access to Beach & River!
Location was fantastic. Dolphins hang out at end of inlet. Went kayaking twice a day...saw manatees, all kinds of birds, dolphins. Bed was super comfortable. Shower was great. For what you pay for a hotel, this is tons more value for your money. It feels like actual living in cocoa beach, not just a tourist. Beach is super simple, short walk away. John provided tons of beach gear. He was super kind and helpful. One of the best Airbnb host/location I have experienced. Definitely will stay here again.

Aqua Azzurra. Pool Heater. 7 min to the beach
Ekaterina's home was very clean and new. The outdoor space is very private, relaxing and the pool was nice and warm. A pool service cleans it twice a week. The kitchen has everything you need and the garage has beach chairs, coolers, beach toys etc. She provides pool towels as well. There is a hose on the outside of the house by the garage to wash off the sand. The master has an en suite bathroom and the other 3 rooms share a bathroom. She provides a nice washer/dryer. It's a nice quiet neighborhood. The only surprise was a there was a burned house 2 doors down. It didn't affect us we were just surprised to see it.

Seaside Villa beach front, with pvt pool, hot tub
We had a wonderful family stay at Tim’s place- it was the perfect getaway. The home has all the amenities needed, the views are breathtaking, it’s very spacious and the pool was a plus when kids wanted a break from the ocean. It is far enough away from everything that it’s peaceful and relaxing but close enough for grocery trips and restaurants. Best part was the stars at night and catching a rocket launch. Truly felt like we were staying with family, warm and inviting. Would definitely return!

Cocoa Beach Vacay
My family had such a wonderful stay at Leigh Ann's. The place was exactly as described, clean, welcoming and very comfortable. The neighborhood was quite and peaceful. Walkable distance to the beach which was so incredible. We would absolutely book here again!

The house of billiards.
Everything was fresh and clean. Looks as though the home was recently built. Very roomy and comfortable.

Midtown Oasis - Pool, Brand New!
The host was very helpful and responsive. The house is very modern and clean! Beds were ok. Pillows in the master bedroom are hard. I wish I had brought my own. Having beach towels and chairs available was very helpful. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Melbourne Beach is only 10 minutes away and a beautiful beach. And I highly recommend eating at Taco Dive! If ever in the area again we will definitely look to book here!

paradise vacation luxury home
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2+ month stay at Wayne's rental. He greeted us in person when we arrived and was most eager to ensure that our stay was enjoyable and that we had everything that we needed. He communicated with us throughout our stay and was friendly and very easy to get along with. We felt safe and very much at home during our stay. The beds were very comfortable, as were the couches. We enjoyed our time in the private fenced in backyard, under the umbrella. The yard is very well maintained and we were fortunate to meet the gracious man who kept it looking so inviting. There were many restaurants to choose from in the immediate and surrounding area. The beach is a great destination for swimming, picnicing and relaxing. A number of eateries are within close range as well. The annual Strawberry Festival and Seafood Festival are popular events to take in. We highly recommend staying at Wayne's rental if you are considering a trip to Florida! He is an exceptional host!

3/2 Huge House: 15 min beach, 50 min Space Center
This was our 2nd time staying at Erin's place. It was like coming home, it allowed us to move right in and be very comfortable with the house and neighborhood.

New home close to everything!
Natalie and Joe were great hosts, easy to communicate with and very accessible. The subdivision where the house is located was very nice, clean and quiet. The house was roomy and had everything we needed. The location was great for our needs as it was just 5 minutes from family we were visiting and a short drive to stores, restaurants and Cocoa Beach.

Modern Dream Home with Pool - Near Cocoa Village
The house was really nice and well stocked. We enjoyed the proximity to the Indian River where we walked each morning. Anee was very responsive to our questions. Our family had a great time!

The Beachhouse
John’s place was absolutely beautiful! He was super helpful and friendly. Most things were in walking distance, which was super convenient. Would definitely recommend!!

We came to town for a baseball tournament at the space coast complex. 2 families and more than enough room! The house was perfect! The location was perfect as well!! Very happy with everything!! Would definitely stay again if we came back!

5 Bedroom Secluded Beachfront place Melbourne FL
This airbnb was wonderful, it was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the private walkway to the ocean, it was like your own little oasis. We enjoyed the ocean and all it had to offer! Our family enjoyed making memories together at this location that will last a life time.

Cocoa, Beach house
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful space with us during our stay in Florida! The home was absolutely lovely—beautifully decorated, clean, and it smelled amazing (I even had to take a picture of whatever scent you used so I can get some for my own place!). The “In Case You Forgot” box was such a thoughtful touch and actually came in handy, which we really appreciated. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, stylish, and welcoming place to stay!

Private House with Pool just 2 Minutes From Beach
This house was in a perfect location. It’s close to the beach and restaurants. There are plenty of beach chairs for guests to take to the beach. The house has everything available that you could need. It has lots of room inside and out for 6 adults. If you book this house you won’t be disappointed!

Space Coast Hideaway 3/2 Affordable Home
The stay was fine. House was fine. Met up with Randy because of some problem with the house keeper that somehow was living in the most tiny wooden shed in the backyard? Anyway, Randy pointed out a few things he’s fixing in the house. The biggest thing was how Randy speaks to you in person and over text but it’s not worth getting into an argument for. He couldn’t give a direct answer on what times he would or wouldn’t be on site doing yard work or repairs. It eventually turned to he didn’t show up at all which was preferred but was not communicated at all. I asked all communication to be re-communicated over the Airbnb chat so we both had record and he refused. Anyways house is fine for the price.

Beach house paradise. Downtown Cocoa Beach
Excellent value for money. Even better than the pictures. My wife and I stayed there with three kids to watch the SpaceX launch. Beach was within waking distance with plenty of restaurants in close proximity. Would love to return there in the future.
