Vacation rentals in Merritt Island

Great location in the heart of Melbourne and easily walkable to downtown! Perfect for Space Coast tours. Second time stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at this Airbnb in Cocoa Beach! The location was perfect—just a short walk to great bars and restaurants. The place had everything we needed, and the washer and dryer were a huge bonus. We really appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella, which made our beach days super convenient without having to buy our own. They even included a pizza gift certificate, which we didn’t get a chance to use, but it was such a thoughtful touch. We’d definitely stay here again!

Wow! Did not expect to be so blown away by our stay at John's place. The photos do not do John's amazing lil' strip of Banana River paradise justice. This spot is a REAL Florida getaway, hold all of the neon kitsch and nonsense: the apartment is pristine yet homey, decorated with shells found on the beach, hand-carved wooden turtles, and John's space race adventures. The rooms have nice quality linens and comfy beds, with ample light and good a/c. You can launch kayaks from the backyard, dolphin and manatee watch from the deck, walk 5 min to a quiet beach, and eat at good quality small businesses within a short drive. John has everything: kayaks, life jackets, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, showers and hoses to rinse off post-beach. We were only sad not to get to stay the whole week. Compared to other rentals in the area, this spot is a steal for four people. You won't regret booking – and we'll be back.

Everything was great. She is very responsive to any question. Thanks. Would stay again for sure.

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

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!

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!

We had a great stay. We had a question about the pool and Andrew checked in and then stopped in to make sure we had what we needed.

I brought my German family to America/Florida for the first time, and this house exceeded our expectations. They loved the house, pool, walking distance to the beach, and the amazing sea life that swam through the canal (dolphin, turtle, and family of manatees). We had a wonderful visit to Cocoa and this house made them feel at home in our wonderful state. Highly recommend for small family looking for a beach getaway.

The home was beautiful and located in a very nice and peaceful neighborhood. We had complete privacy with no problems or interruptions. My family had a wonderful stay and the home provided everything that we needed. The heated pool was an absolute must and 100% met all of our needs! We will be staying again on our next trip!

Great views from the balcony of the ocean. Very Clean and comfortable place to stay. Would stay here again.

Drake was a great host.!! He was helpful & friendly. He is quick to answer any questions you may have. The house is situated in a nice quiet easy to find neighborhood and is very relaxing. The pool is clear and refreshing. Pool also stays very clean thanks to the surrounding protective screens. This also makes the pool a bug free zone.!! Thank you Drake.!!

Lots of amenities and very spacious for our large group. We enjoyed having room for everyone.

Great place! Will for sure look for this place when visiting in the future! Clean and comfortable! So much to keep the kids entertained!

Such a tranquil and lovely stay. Very family friendly. Quiet at nights. My toddler loved the front yard. Has all amenities in kitchen and for beach trips. Easy drive to the beach, Kennedy Space Center, supermarkets, and restaurants. Host is very hospitable. Hope to return again.

Our two families had an incredible stay!!! We have already talked about coming back. Being right on the beach is absolutely amazing. We had each breakfast and dinner on the deck overlooking the ocean. The beach was incredibly private. We appreciated the couple beach chairs and tents and boogie boards. Have a heated pool and hot tub was also a massive bonus! We cooked almost every meal and the hosts had all of the pots/pans/dishes that we needed. We also really appreciated all of the bath and beach/pool towels. Overall, absolutely great rental and perfect for 2 families!
