This place is wonderful. Close proximity to everything and some with in walking distance did not drive over 3 miles for anything. The townhome is just as described and very spacious. Camilla was always there to answer any questions. Also the added benifit of the pool was great we did some grilling while everyone took a swim. Also all the beach accessories were nice and only one block from the beach. Highly recommend and will rent again.

Perfect Home for us

Guest: Kathy (San Diego, Ca)
Date of Stay: 06/29/11 Review Submitted: 07/15/11

We rented this home for 6 days and it was perfect. There was 5 adults and 3 children in our group. The children's ages are 4,5, and 6. We had a great time. There was lots of toys for the children for the beach and for the pool. In fact the children spent most of the time in the pool and not the beach. The beach however is only a few minutes walk from the house. Infact everything was very convenient. The grocery store is only a block away and the Pier was a short stroll along the beach. We had no problems at all with the home, location, the wonderful owners and the beautiful area of Cocoa Beach. By the way the home was super clean.

What a wonderful place to stay! Three generations plus family and friends from Texas, Maine, NH, Alabama, Florida and some I'm sure I missed, gathered here for my niece's wedding. There was enough room for six bridesmaid dresses, the bride's gown and all the additional clothes and shoes. Beds for all and still room to walk around. All enjoyed the pool and beach. The hairdresser and makeup specialist used the very large living room/kitchen area for wedding day prepartions. All Had A Wonderful Time and Wished we could do it again next year. Thank you Camilla for making you home so pleasant and inviting.

Family Reunion

Guest: Julie (Santa Fe, Nm)
Date of Stay: 05/23/11 Review Submitted: 06/26/11

We had three generations living in this wonderful house for a week and there is tons of space with the 3 bedrooms and the loft. We even put the smallest one to sleep on a blow-up mattress in the walk-in closet in the master bedroom. There was so much room. The pool was great for the kids, and we liked the security alarm that went off if a little one open the door to the pool without an adult being there. Good feature. It's also a very short walk to a clean and non-crowded beach. This is the perfect place for a family vacation..We made some great memories - sitting around the pool, grilling fresh caught cobia, shopping in Cocoa village, listenung to live music on the pier, spending a day in Disney World and driving along the coast. The 30 somethings even went jet-skiing. I highly recommend this vacation rental.

Fun in the Sun

Guest: Linda (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
Date of Stay: 03/26/11 Review Submitted: 04/18/11

Eight of us travelled from Toronto, Ontario for a weeks holiday. Two children, 9 and 10 - the rest adults. The house described and pictured is exactly what we got. We were thrilled as we have never rented a house before - we've always stayed in hotels. We loved the quick walk to the beach, all the chairs and sand toys and spent the afternoons in the pool. There was lots to do and not enough time to do it all. We had a few internet issues but Camilla had them fixed in no time. We hope to be back in a couple of years and would love to stay again. I will have to make sure I get the master suite again because I loved the deck. Thank you for the amazing memories.

Wonderful Family Vacation Property

Guest: Boonk (Sheboygan, WI USA)
Date of Stay: 03/12/11 Review Submitted: 03/24/11

We stayed here the second week of March 2011 and found the property to be everything advertised and then some. Our group included nine people from 3 generations and our small dog. There was room for everyone. What stands out to me is the high level of cleanliness and all the accomodation extras. Not only did the condo have a well equipment kitchen and well stocked bathroom the garage was loaded with almost everything a family on a beach vacation might need. There were beach chairs, beach umbrella, tons of beach toys, body boards, several coolers, and a cart to move it all one block to the beautiful beach. Our grandchildren loved the pool and it became the afternoon/evening gathering spot for the family. We have special thanks to the Camilla for stopping by one day to take our dog out for a walk and for helping to arraign flowers to be in the condo on our arrival. These extra steps were highly appreciated. The condo owners also quickly replaced a troublesome TV remote within a day of our request. All in all a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. If we return to the area we will certainly try to stay again.

Built Family Memories

Stayed the week of Thanksgiving. We were going on a Disney Cruise. Extended family joined us there. The house comfortably accommodated ten of us. The location was wonderful. Easy walking distance to the ocean. Actually it was close to everything, restaurants, stores, church, everything. It was only four miles from the port for the cruise. Very private. Had it's own pool, which the grandchildren loved! Kitchen was beautiful. We had a great time.

We chose this location and Cocoa beach by pure chance and it was perfect for our family of 5. Camilla was wonderful and the property and amenities were even better than described. The short walk to the beach was the highlight of the trip and we spent countless hours on the beach and in the pool. Everyone had an awesome time We will be back!!

Lots of space, close to everything

Guest: beach (Kansas)
Date of Stay: 10/03/10 Review Submitted: 10/13/10

The house was great. New, very spacious, clean and well maintained. The pool is nice, but is small and the sun doesn't shine much back there due to the location of the house so the water was chilly when we were there in October. There were a ton of beach toys for the kids, and chairs for the adults which was great. There are also a lot of beach towels. The location is perfect because it's so close to the pier and beach and you can walk to places. There is also a grocery store and liquor store within a block or so. Disney World is an easy hour or so drive from the condo.The only negative comment about my families experience was when we checked out we were docked a cleaning fee for the sand in the home, even though we did try and remove as much as we could. We had kids and it's the beach so sand was bound be left. So, if you do stay here you will need to clean the house quite a bit so you don't lose any of your deposit. The owners were very helpful in answering questions and were friendly.

There was plenty of room for all of us (11) for the 2 weeks. We had family fly in from the UK who were so amazed with everything about the house. Van took the time to tell us all the great places to eat for families. We loved the pool. Beach and pier were just a short walk away. Everything you could need was within walking distance. You couldn't ask for more!! We will be coming back.

Beautiful House

This was a wonderful experience. The property is even better than the photos depict. Everything was very clean and well stocked; especially the HUGE kitchen. The balcony on the master suite was very large and we enjoyed sitting out there after a long day at the beach. It was an easy walk to the beach and there were even sand toys available for the children. There were plenty of linens available. We had 11 people and there was room to spare. LOVED it, and can't wait to do it again!

It's hard to put into words how perfect this house was for us! We have 7 children, age 1-9, and had my mother and cousin with us. Everyone had a bed to sleep in and was completely comfortable! The kids LOVED the pool! It was awesome! The beach is just down the street, we walked there multiple times, every evening at the very least! They have SOOOO many pool/beach toys in the garage, you definitely don't need to take any! The kitchen was FULLY stocked with any kinds of pots and pans you could ever need! The house was spotlessly clean and very neat and beautifully decorated! I could just go on and on. There was not a single negative thing, we were not disappointed about anything! Thanks so much Camilla & Van for such a great place for this big family to stay!

We loved our visit to Cocoa Beach, staying in this townhome. It is spacious, nice, and immaculately clean. There were 4 adults, 3 children and we still had room to spare. The pool was very nice. Just a short walk to the beach was a great feature also.

WE found this property to be exactly what we needed for a restful and realxing vacation for us(grand parents) and our son and family. The property is in a fantastic location being 1 block from the beach and only a short distance from stores for shopping, restaurants, the port, minature golf, and fishing. The best part is that it has it's own pool. The whole property was spotlessly clean. Great pool and beach toys to make our little ones totally content and happy. We thank Camilla for her fantastic hospitality.

We have just returned from a great family vacation in Cocoa Beach. We rented this house for 16 days in Oct 2009. The house suited all of our needs, loved the pool Family came from CA, OR, VA and St Barts. We took a cruise and rented the house on either end of the cruise which worked out wonderfully. Also only 42 miles from Orlando airport. We can recommend the following sight seeing things: Capt Terry Lamielle at easy days fishing,A-Awesome Air Boat Rides, Kennedy Space Ctr, Fish Lips restaurant, Grills Restaurant, boogie boarding at the end of the street, watching the cruise ships come and go at the beach. Hope you enjoy your vacation as much as we did.

The condo was perfect and there was plenty of room for everyone. Having a pool in the back yard was awesome!! It was very clean, and there was everything you could ever want, from beach toys, to things in the kitchen. Thank you for every thing....

Camilla and Van, we can't say enough good things about our stay in Cocoa Beach at your fabulous place! We had family in from Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, and NC. Everyone was so impressed with the spaciousness of the place, in addition to the fact that everything we could possibly need was provided. Being so centrally located, we were able to walk to the pier, Ron Jon's, and CB Surf Co. Of course, everyone enjoyed the short walk to the beach. The pool was a favorite hangout when we weren't walking on the beach or visiting the Kennedy Space Center, Jungle Adventures, or playing golf at one of the nearby golf courses. We definitely want to make this an annual event, so you will be hearing from us! Thank you for making it so easy for us to have a family gathering in such a wonderful atmosphere.

Highly recommend this home. This was our first visit to Cocoa beach but certainly not our last. The house was amazing. It was clean, spacious and fully equipped. It had all the conveniences close by. The beach was at a short distance walk from the house and the pool was lots of fun. My kids loved it so much that they cried when we left. We can’t wait for our next vacation to return.

The house was perfect, yet again, for our group of 12! The kids and adults loved the pool, and all the accessories. The short walk to the beach and the endless supply of beach toys were grately appreciated. We will be in touch to book another year with you! Thank you, again, for having my son's birthday cake in the fridge for him...one less thing for me to worry about upon arrival!! Keep up the great work being an amazing hostess!! Casey from Kitchener

We had a WONDERFUL experience at your townhouse! Easy to find and a very quiet neighborhood. Great pool, parking, and space - both inside and out. Absolutley immaculate, and we found everything we needed (linens, beach chairs, towels...even a blender!)Our group had 6 adults and 3 teenage boys, and made daily drives to Cocoa Expo, where the rest of our older sons stayed to play baseball all week. We found the northerly route past the cruise ships to be very scenic and quick--light traffic! The 9 of us had plenty of space and walked to the Pier, Publix and donut shop nearly every day. If the High School team returns to Cocoa, we will book OUR stay with you again in a heartbeat.

AWESOME!! That about sums it up. Thank you Van and Camilla, your house is very inviting, perfectly furnished (right down to the beach toys and boogie boards). It is well kept, big and roomy the pool is great and everything is so close especially the beach. We drove down from Illinois to have our perfect wedding on the beach, but mother nature had other ideas, with the storm clouds and lightning for our background we got married on the beautiful large balcony of the master bedroom, not exactly as planned but very special just the same. This home and this trip will forever have a place in our hearts!

The location was great, steps to the beach (beach chairs, towels and toys provided) and minutes from shopping and the grocery store. The house was plenty big enough for our three families, which consisted of 12 people. The clean pool and pool toys were the biggest hit for both the kids and the adults.

What a WONDERFUL place to stay!! Our family just got back from our first visit to Cocoa Beach, and thanks to this rental home - it was PERFECT! I had never used VRBO before and was a little leary, but the moment we walked in to this home, we knew it was going to be a great vacation. The home and pool are immaculate and absolutely beautiful. The house is so roomy and is filled with so many extras including beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, and every pot/pan/dish needed to make any meal. It was just a short walk to the beach, where it, also, was beautiful. The location was perfect. Any kind of restaurant or grocery store we needed were all within 5 - 10 minute drive. Several things are even within walking distance - like the Cocoa Beach Pier which was a lot of fun. The owners were so wonderful with not only communication with the booking, but also with hints and area suggestions on restaurants and recreation. The only bad thing was . . . when we had to leave! We are already planning our return trip for next year! Only 11 1/2 more months to go!!
