Modern Dream Home with Pool - Near Cocoa Village
We booked this place for a place to stay before our cruise and it was perfect! The house is spotlessly clean and uncluttered, open and very nicely styled. My kids and I were able to chill-out! We loved the pool and great yard. The house is close to the village and filled with restaurants and shops. And we were 15 minutes from Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral. I wish we had a few days booked after our cruise to come back. I would recommend the house for families or no-kid adventures, great fit either way. I should note that Anee was very responsive and helpful in all communications.

Pool Oasis home with Extra large fenced in yard.
Lisa’s home was a great home away from home. My wife and I spent hours outside by the pool and watching the Television out there. Very quiet neighborhood. Watched a few rocket launches from the pool area. Whenever I had questions Lisa always responded quickly, sometimes she contacted us to make sure everything was going well. Definitely recommend to anyone who would like to be in this area as much as we do. Thank you Lisa and Mike for sharing your home with us.

Spacious House retreat w Heated Pool- R&R Palm Bay
Perfect place for families! Outdoor area was perfect for our kids! Will definitely book again!

Beautiful 3/2 Home Heated Pool, Wifi, Golf Cart.
High recommended! The place was beautiful and felt like home. Always a text away if needed any help. Talking with the neighbors was great and so caring. Great neighborhood for family’s with children. Thank you for a wonderful service provided to my family.

Coquina -pool -tropical landscaping-heated spa .
Fantastic! My husband and I needed a few weeks of R&R and that's just what we got at Mike's & Jeff's place. The home is very clean, nicely decorated, and in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots & pans and dishes. The pool was perfect, we sat outside most every day reading and soaking up the sun. If I have my way, we'll be back next year, but longer.

Modern and Updated Home with Pool & Hot Tub
This was our second stay here and we enjoyed our time just as much as last time. Nice and private. Spacious open places. Host was easy to work with.

Island State Of Mind! Heated Pool on Water!
This place fit our needs and our hosts were very responsive. We enjoyed the heated pool and the shade provided. I would recommend this place to others.

Island Paradise~Heated Pool~HotTub~Beach~SpaceCamp
The house was very clean and super organized when we arrived. The attention to detail was fantastic. Many items were supplied above the norm, ie, all paper products, shampoo/conditioner, coffee/filters, snacks and much more. There were a lot of toy and game options for everyone. The pool and hot tub area was great for relaxing and provided hours of entertainment for the kiddos. The area has many good dining options, car or similar required. All in all, we had a great time and look forward to coming back hopefully soon.

NEW -Peaceful Palm Bay Getaway hot tub, pool table
So glad we stayed at Ali’s place. It’s close to grocery stores, retail stores, and places to eat. Neighbors are nice and the neighborhood feels safe and welcoming. The house was just as good as the pictures show it to be. My family was there for my son’s baseball tournament, they had a net, tee in the garage. The best part was the welcome basket with a wiffle bat and ball, sun flower seeds, and liquid IV. Very thoughtful!

1 Block to Beach - Private Yard - Late Checkout
The family needed a place to enjoy the beach with our new grandson. We had a great time and the place was great and cozy. It was well decorated. Just want to note that there is no central AC but each bedroom does have its own AC. The host had clear instructions and good communication. We definitely enjoyed our stay and we recommend it.

Newly Renovated 2/1 Duplex Two Blocks From Beach!
Our family had a wonderful week staying here! The home was clean and free of clutter. It was easy to settle in like home! Loved that there were supplies for the beach and even a wagon to carry everything! Perfect proximity from the main street downtown Cocoa Beach. Short drive to the Space Center (which is a must!!!). Couldn't ask for anything better. We will be back!

screened in pool, bbq, fire pit & big backyard
Happy with our stay. Didn't use most of the amenities as we were not here for vacation, but there looked to be plenty. House was clean and open, accommodating all of us comfortably. Close to lots of things and yet quiet and private. Easy to find and check in. Several family members said they'd be happy to come back. I very much appreciate Andrew's willingness to help us with an unanticipated situation (on our part). Recommend this home and host.

Coral Beach House*POOL🏊♀️*KAYAK🛶*Walk to 🏖
The place has more than enough room for a big family. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood is quiet. The house is located within walking distance to town, where there’s shopping, restaurants, bars and the beach. It’s not too congested in the small town, which we loved not dealing with big crowds.

Exclusive Tropical Paradise | Cocoa Beach, Florida
Such a beautiful home. The perfect size for our young family of 5. The backyard and amenities were amazing. Very private. Felt like our own little paradise. The beds were comfy. Town was about a 25 minute walk/5 minute drive, which was a perfect distance to not hear city sounds. The beach entrances are right across the street and there is a beach cart, umbrella, sand toys, etc at the house to use. We would love to come back!

White Paddle North
Definitely a perfect little home for a vacation spot! The home was very clean and cozy. I loved how it was the perfect walking distance to the beach and to other restaurants. Would definitely come back!

"Beachside NAPS" Diplomat 5
Really enjoyed our stay while finding housing in the area. Beach access was easily accessible. Our daughter loved the pool! Plus, lots of great restaurants nearby. Additionally, during our stay we endured an unexpected hurricane/tornado, the host was extremely responsive and made sure we were ok before and after the storms. Highly recommend!

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.

Private Cozy Pool Home
My Wife and I stayed 3 nights from March 17th through 20th. The house was very nice, clean and well stocked. Our only suggestion would be that a grill be added for cooking outside. There is seemingly never ending space in this home, it was really way to big for the two of us but would be fantastic for a family vacation! It has two separate living areas with large TVs, perfect for the kids and adults. The pool was very nice also, although we did not make use of it. The home has a concrete pad poured next to it for storage of a boat or RV, this is great for fishermen visiting Headwaters Lake as I did. The drive to the ramp was about 30 minutes and was a very easy route. We will rent again if we return to this area.

Vac Home Access to Beach & River!
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.

Vacation house with pool
Absolutely loved this house! I took my family on vacation to Melbourne for the 1st time and this house was a perfect fit for us! I had my husband, 2 teen girls and one of their friends, plus our 2 dogs and we had plenty of space! The house is located in a great place, close to everything! There's plenty of restaurants close by and there are beautiful beaches within 20-30 minutes. The pool was awesome, my kids loved being able to swim whenever they wanted to. It was still a little to chilly to get to really enjoy it, so we definitely have to cone back when it gets warmer! I would definitely bring my family back and stay here again! I wish we could've stayed longer, since we were only able to stay 4 nights. So next time we're staying the whole week. I definitely recommend this house to others! We had an amazing time!

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

Paradise Beach Retreat
Bob's place is the perfect place to stay! The backyard is the perfect tropical, lush oasis to sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee. The home has everything you need and the fact that it's dog friendly is even better! My pups and I felt right at home! Friendly host and a welcoming retreat.😊

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!

Close to Beach & Port Canaveral | Heated Pool
We had a wonderful Spring Break at Cape Canaveral!! We invited friends to stay with us - a total of 3 families - 6 adults and 6 kids - and there was plenty of room! The kids loved the pool and we walked to the beach everyday! It was nice to have separate living areas, so everyone could have their own space. There is so much to do in the area! We went to the Ron Jon Surf Shop, the girls got pedicures and walked on the boardwalk, the guys went shark fishing, and we enjoyed a large family dinner at the port! Highly recommended for large groups as the house felt like home for the 4 days we were there! Thanks for giving us and the kids an amazing getaway!!
