Pelican Point: Cozy home one block from the beach.
Great walkable location! We loved having the two stories with the bedrooms upstairs and living room/kitchen downstairs. It was helpful staying with the kids and having our own spaces. Michael is very responsive in answering all our needs and even went above and beyond and got a French press for coffee. The only complaint I would have is there was some noise from the neighbors a TV going on most of the time (all night long for a week) but it eventually sounded like white noise. The neighbor on the other side was partying late into the night but nothing that would stop us from staying here again as it only happened on the last night we were there. Our favorite part was the garage full of beach toys! The kids and I walked to the beach each day and use the boogie boards and the beach pails to build sand castles It was really great!

The Surfin Shark - Dog Friendly Beach Resort
This is the second year my family and I have stayed at the Shark Shack and it was just as lovely as the first time. Donnetta is very friendly, accommodating and willing to do what she can to make our stay enjoyable. This place is truly a hidden gem and we look forward to booing again for next year!

Gorgeous -Coco Beach House W/Private Heated Pool
3/10/2025 Review of the Yellow Beach House, Cape Canaveral. The Yellow Beach House was a great stay with a very good quiet location and nice amenaties. A ten minute walk and you were on the spacious beautiful Atlantic Ocean beach. The pool area is outstanding with plenty of lounges, a large tiki hut and additional seating and fire table. The house has plenty of linens and cookware to prepare any meal. Sondra, our host was very responsive to any questions or issues. I would highly recommend this house. Roy L.

Paradise Beach House -1 min walk to Ocean!
Tim's place was perfect for us! It was right across from the beach and 1 block away from our favorite Thai restaurant and surf shop (MTB). We also discovered Mel's tiki cafe - a very yummy breakfast spot. An added bonus was the hot tub. All in all it was a great stay!

ocean paradise
Beautiful location on a very nice beach right next to the condo. Quiet, peaceful and very relaxing. Will definitely recommend and will use it again if we are lucky enough to be back in the area.

Beachfront House with Beautiful Ocean Views
This is our second time staying here and we loved it both times. It’s extremely comfortable, with many modern amenities, very clean and a great location on a quiet beach. We hope to return again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PRIVATE BEACH HOUSE - STEPS TO THE BEACH
Adam’s place was amazing, just as described. The short walk to the beach was perfect! He was very attentive, communication was easy and responses very quick. The entire place was wonderful! Our overall favorite part was by far the outside shower! The enclosed private back yard was amazing! We 100% recommend staying at one of Adams Airbnb’s.

Beach Bound! #419
Our stay was great! Location was 3-5min walk to the beach. Had an issue with propane empty and jon took care of the issue so fast! Highly recommend this place

The Sandpiper
Cute and cozy condo in a convenient area! Just steps to the beach and pool! Reasonably priced. Responsive hosts. Wish it had a tub and a free in-unit laundry as we had a two year old with us, but it was still a very nice stay!

3 Bedroom Home Steps to the Beach w/ PRIVATE Pool
We had a wonderful stay--you can't beat the location of this house! Having the beach so close was amazing, and we loved the rooftop deck with partial ocean view and the beautiful pool area in the backyard. We also liked how walkable the neighborhood is, with nice wide sidewalks that make it easy to share with all the folks out enjoying the sunshine. It was the perfect relaxing beach vacation!

Melbourne Oasis: Beach access, pool & rooftop deck
The is easily the most beautiful rental home my family has stayed in — gorgeous finishings and super comfortable furniture and beds. The views were unbelievable and close to groceries, shopping and restaurants. Hosts were very quick to respond to my questions pre and post check in.

Casa Flamingo, heated pool steps to Beach and Pier
This is our second year visiting! Fantastic location. Very close to Orlando and very short walk to the beach and pier. The pool is great and garage stocked with toys and beach gear. A little disappointed that the hot tub was broken, but the host promptly gave a credit for the inconvenience. Some appliances a little old and dishwasher not great, but overall it’s a really nice place to stay for families! Host very responsive to any questions or issues.

Your Beachfront Oasis Awaits!
The perfect location, steps away from the pier, right where we wanted to be.

Beach Haven
Beach Haven was a perfect house for our family getaway. Beds are very comfortable. We traveled with 2 adults and 4 teenagers and had plenty of room. Pool and spa were very clean and so nice after a beach day. Craig was very responsive and nice to work with. Highly recommend this one and would be happy to return some time.

Bahama Breeze-Waterfront Heated Pool and Spa
Really great place. The family had lots of fun with the pool and fishing off the dock. Very close to the beach (walkable) and nice kids park. Very good food options nearby, and lots to do in the area (Brevard Zoo, charters for fishing and dolphin spotting, beach ofc). Would definitely stay again if I came down.

Melbee's TideHouse - Direct Ocean - Jetstream Pool
We had an amazing and relaxing stay! The house, the pool, and the beachfront location was absolutely incredible! We spent so much time on the private beach and in the pool. Lindsey was an excellent host and made sure to answer every question immediately. The house had everything we needed and the local town had everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation!!
Private beachfront home rentals

BRAND NEW Private BEACH HOME !
We loved the house except the waterpressure was very slow in the sinks and shower and there is no bathtub for bathing young children. The house is beautiful with nice accessories. Suggest, need to add more updated beach chairs and more porch furniture.

Hello Sunshine! Just STEPS to the beach
We loved the house! It was clean, comfortable and it had everything that we needed. Melissa was very responsive, kind and accommodating. The house is close to the beach and it is in a quiet neighborhood. We felt as comfortable as we do at home. We enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch looking out into the beautiful back yard. We also enjoyed seeing the peacocks in the neighborhood. It was a very short drive to get to stores and restaurants. We highly recommended this host and this beautiful home. If we ever come back to this area we will be sure to rent this home again.

Direct Oceanfront Home- Cocoa Beach, Fl
What a beautiful home right on the uncrowded beach! We loved being within walking distance of restaurants in Cocoa Beach. The owners are thoughtful hosts who gave us lots of recommendations on places to eat and things to do in the area. But honestly, no one wanted to leave the house! Highly highly recommend this home for a family retreat.

Shore Break
Awesome place!! Exactly as pictured and it was spotless. We love to travel and we’ve had our share of horror stories so we were so excited to find a place on the beach that was as clean as it was beautifully decorated. It’s an old 50’s style updated apartment. It’s centrally located in Old Melbourne and the beaches here are beautiful. Kurt was awesome to work with and responded immediately to any questions we had. We’d def stay here again! :)

"Ocean Dreams"
Excellent choice for vacation. House was easy to find and as pictured in listing, except for the newly updated beds in the bedrooms which were very comfortable and the new patio furniture. The place is fully furnished and we appreciated the half bath on the main level. There was ample necessities provided and all cleaning supplies. Pictures do not do the path to the beach justice, it is honestly a short walk from the deck steps. Perfect vacation location and Amy was very easy to work with.

Beachfront Bliss
This was our third year spent at Seamark Condos and second at Kelly’s condo and we have already booked our return trip for next year. This place is our own private Alice of paradise. The condo is not fancy but has everything we need and it always clean. It is perfect for our family of three. The condo walking out to the beach is perfect. The beach is clean, has great shells to find, and is awesome to catch a rocket launch from. The condo was sufficiently stocked with everything we needed. Across the street is Surfin Turtle Ice Cream and down the block is the Salty Bagel - both of which we walked to and enjoyed every day. Kelly is always so responsive and kind. She periodically checks in to make sure everything is going well. We absolutely love staying here.

Ocean Front Oasis - quiet and relaxing beach
We had a great stay at this Airbnb. It was easy to get in and out and it was very spacious. Loved being right at the beach and enjoyed every minute of it.

Beautiful direct OCEAN-FRONT townhome
We had a wonderful stay at Angela’s place! Communication was quick and easy. The home was clean and matched the description perfectly. We especially loved the direct beach access and the unique layout of the house, which offers several cozy spots to relax. The kitchen is well equipped and great for cooking. Grocery stores and local restaurants are close by. Angela provides lots of helpful guest information about nearby restaurants and activities. A special highlight: we visited Cape Canaveral several times (about an hour away) and even saw three rocket launches—some directly from the house! The tasteful decor and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!
