Come relax at the beach. This is a real "get away from it" all destination.
Cape Canaveral is like a little bit of old Florida. It is mostly residential and has a neighborhood feel to it. There are older homes and newer Condo's. The lifestyle is very relaxed and casual. For those of you who prefer not to deal with elevators, parking passes, and "Condo Rules", this is the ideal place for you. Right outside your front door are chairs and a table for your morning coffee. Read the paper and enjoy the people going by - walking, jogging, or riding bicycles. Go ahead and join them - there are 2 bikes for your use too. The City has just put in a bicycle path which runs right in front of our place.
This spacious 2 bedroom apartment is located on the first floor of a lovingly renovated older home. It is ideal for anyone that has problems with stairs, and has a front and back entrance so unpacking the car and taking in groceries is easy. The living room is an open floor plan to the kitchen and dining area which seats 6 comfortably. Ceramic tile throughout with the exception of carpet in the bedrooms.
It also has the added bonus of a Den with sliding glass doors which open to a small and private patio. The Den is furnished with a desk for your computer hookup, a bookcase with games and books, a stereo for your enjoyment and a reading chair. Check out "Hanna's Corner" with games and toys for young children. If you would prefer something smaller in size, please ask me about my 1 bedroom unit.
Around the side of the house is an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand after you return from the beach. You'll also find the BBQ grill with charcoal and lighter fluid right outside your back door.
There are beach chairs, boogie boards, a cooler and an umbrella which you are free to take down to the beach, and probably a fishing rod or two. Pack a picnic lunch and make a day of it. If you're lucky you might just see a rocket launch !!

Map & Owner's Profile
Sunny and 80 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose Cape Canaveral
We found ourselves spending more and more weekends at the beach and finally decided to invest in something more than a Hotel Room!!! Because we are not "Condo" people, we chose this 4 Unit apartment building. We decided to keep one Unit for our "get-a-away" and rent out the other three. So far, we've weathered Hurricanes, the stock market and the economy. (There was a reason the Government chose Cape Canaveral for it's Space Center!!!) Cape Canaveral offered a laid back lifestyle, a quiet beach, and friendly neighbors. It truly is a wonderful lifestyle.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
The world's largest swimming pool is just across the street!!! Within minutes are good restaurants and shopping. The best part to us is just relaxing with friends, surf fishing and sunbathing, and knowing the "Condo Police" will not be yelling at us!
Our guests enjoy a Welcome Basket when they arrive, usually filled with coffee, breakfast treats, candy and snacks. Those of you who stay a week or longer will probably get to sample my famous Orange Cake (or Margarita or Strawberry Daiquiri Cake)
You can enjoy yourself in a more relaxed environment with less rules and regulations. No stairs to climb and parking is right outside your front door.
Many Restaurants including Grill's Fishlips, and Milliken's. Charter Fishing Boats, Seafood Markets, Gambling Ships, Public Marinas and Parks. A great place to see Manatees and Dolphins.
Publix Grocery Store, Diva Nail Salon Chinese Take-Out, Pizza & Subs, and many more.
Owner's Map of Cape Canaveral
My husband and I are "semi-natives" who live and work in Orlando. We both moved down to Florida from up north over 30 years ago. Having a second home so close makes weekends at the beach a reality for us.

Our new Favorite Place on the beach!

The condo was warm and welcoming! We found everything we needed to feel at home during our month long stay in Cape Canaveral. Scott and Kathy were ultra-sweet and gracious. Scott even offered to take my son fishing! Cape Canaveral is a lovely place to vacation, filled with kind people and endless possibilities for family fun. My son and I enjoyed crab hunting on the beach after sunset, seeing all of the marine life at jetty Park, and the dinosaur store and museum in Cocoa Beach. Not to mention Universal Studios and the Walt Disney World Water Parks.
Owner response:This is a great place for families and very kid-friendly. We have various DVD's, toys, games and books for the rainy days: and beach toys for the sunny days.

This wonderful property was very clean, well maintained, and extremely comfortable. The location is less than two minutes away from the beach and the property has beach chairs, umbrellas, and all the essential beach items. Kathy was very thoughtful and all the little things that one might forget while traveling are already provided in the house. A delectable Pina Colada cake was awaiting us when we reached the property along with a few other welcome snacks. Overall, we had a an amazing experience and we would certainly stay here again!
Owner response:Atlanta is so close that a beach weekend is possible. We hope to see them again soon !!!

Recently stayed in this lovely apartment and want to give it two thumbs up! Close to the beach, nicely laid out and had everything that our family of five needed for a long weekend at the beach! Owners very friendly and gave us great advice about good local restaurants and markets, etc. House stocked with all the little things like soap, paper products, spices, etc. that are hard to bring when you come by plane. I'd highly recommend this property to others.
Owner response:I do try to think ahead about the "forgotten" items and other things that will make my guests stay more relaxing. Go ahead.......forget your toothbrush........they'll be one there for you if that happens!

We (myself, husband and 7 year old daughter) just returned from a WONDERFUL Spring Break in this beach apartment. Kathy provides everything you could possibly want or need and if you've forgotten something, she's sure to have it. It's spacious, clean, has plenty of extras of everything (blankets/pillows) and there are ceiling fans in each room. My daughter loved the welcome basket and used the journel that Kathy left to record everything we did so she can share it with her classmates. We traveled from Virginia and since gas is a killer right now, we opted to eat in some to save money and Kathy has provided everything you could possibly need to cook. There's even a crock pot! The beach access is literaly across the street and we spent most of our time there since we had perfect weather, perfect water temps and NO crowds. Watching the cruise ships come and go was a neat experience. We did spend one entire day at Kennedy Space Center and I would definately recommend taking a day to go there. It was worth the money to go in my opinion. I bought my tickets online with a $5 discount per ticket and would recommend doing so if you can. It was a big time saver from having to stand in the ticket line once you arrive. All in all, we had a great time and we definately hope to come back and stay here in the future! Thanks for everything Kathy.
Owner response:Thanks Breea for your suggestion on KSC. Even with the Shuttle Launches coming to an end there is still a wonderful opportunity to visit The Kennedy Space Center and learn about our place in the History of Space.

We had stayed at a couple other areas over the years, but wanted something in Cape Canaveral. Since we had our "son" (dog Kirby), we needed to find something pet friendly. After searching, we decided to try The Beach House. Don't regret it one bit!!! We were there at Christmas and Kathy went to the extent of decorating and putting up a tree for us!! The house was beyond our expectations. Large, open, clean and made us (including Kirby) feel very much at home. We stayed for 3 weeks and loved it. It's quiet, one block from the beach and has everything that you'd want from a "home away from home". There's plenty of "stuff" to just stay in and cook, or if you want to go out, there's tons of resturants and pubs near-by. Didn't get a chance to try out the bikes or surf rods but there's always next time!!!!! Back in OH for one week and we're already planning our July and next December's trips so that we can reserve the house. A tremendous THANKS goes to Kathy and Scott for making the Beach House a very special place for all of us to share!!!!

What a great place to stay. Although we went down to Florida to see the final launch of the space shuttle discovery (which never took place!), we really enjoyed our stay. Jake, the dog, particularly liked the dog Spunky, next door! The apartment is spacious and really comfortable. Since I am in the middle of settling an estate, the wireless internet connection was a good thing to have and came in handy. After being 3 days in Charleston, it was a welcome site to have a full kitchen to prepare meals - which I love to do! Kathy left a wonderful "sand bucket" as a welcome present with snacks and her delicious key lime bread. Have to get the recipe! We definitely plan on going back!
Owner response:Space Shuttle Discovery still has to launch !!!!!!!! Perhaps we'll see them back sooner rather than later. So glad we had everything they needed for their stay. I do try to think ahead.....what would I want?

My girlfriend and I stayed with our dogs for 4 days in this lovely apartment at the end of August. It was spotlessly clean and had all the things anyone could need and more. Kathy made us feel so much at home and we enjoyed the loaf of home made Key Lime Bread and other goodies left for us. Th beach was a short block away and we watched the sun rise every morning. There was a nice park that we walked the dogs around near by. The unit is located in a quiet and peaceful area but the "action" is within a few minute drive if that is what you want. It is a nice location to visit the Kennedy Space Center, Meritt Island Animal refuge and the Canaveral Shores. We saw dolphins, manatees, a golden eagle (rare) and many types of shore/wet land birds while visiting these areas. Bring your binoculars! Thanks Kathy. We will be back....Jeanne and Laurie

Great fishing spot

Review Submitted: 08/30/10
This was a great place to stay since it was only a little over a mile to the inlet and just steps from the beach. This is a great fishing spot and fishing the Mac Attack was even better.Very comfortable place to stay and we even parked our boat on site. It was nice to bring our dog with us. This place is an awesome find and we plan to stay every chance we have to get back to Canaveral. There are many special touches to this place and makes it feel like home away from home. I highly recommend. Thanks so much!
Owner response:We all got real excited over the fact that they caught the largest Cobia in the Tournament !! Fishing is one of the great reasons to visit Cape Canaveral with Tournament season running from May through the summer. We're looking forward to seeing them again soon.

Everything is exactly as described! A comfortable, well furnished get-away! Just bring yourself, your clothes & personals, because everything else is there for you to use:) We noticed other families running to the beach shops and buying more towels, toys etc., you will not have to do this if you stay @ Kathy's! She treats you like a true guest in her home, we will be back! The Price Family fr St.Louis
Owner response:Thank you Jen !! We do like to provide that little extra which can take the pressure off vacationing families. Boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers and sand toys are there for your use. We're looking forward to welcoming the Price family back for a return get-a-way !

This beach house is just a wonderful place to get away or transition from one country to another. You have the beauty and relaxation of the beach...but the comforts of home. The owners are genuinely thoughtful! I would/will recommend the beach house to friends and family who come this way to stay. Close to the beach, very clean and well-maintained, wonderful amenities!
Owner response:Although we call our place The Beach House we are not located directly on the beach. It just feels like a "beach house" as Terri described. Her family was a joy to have for the 6 weeks they were here, and happily they have bought a house nearby so we'll be able to see them often. This is one of the best parts of renting our place on VRBO - we DO make many new friends !!
