Nice quiet stay just far enough off the beaten path to be secluded but super close to everything you need to do. Janet was on top of any questions we had and super friendly. Would definitely stay there again in the future.

Fabulous stay at Penguins on the Beach! We visited from NC for five nights and loved every minute. The proximity to the ocean is fantastic—we even had a direct view of the Artemis II launch from the beach right across the street! A wonderful property in a prime location. We would definitely book another stay here.

Our pets were as welcomed as we were. Sat by pool one afternoon but didn’t get in even though it was spotless.The ad showed a fenced back yard with firepit and Adirondack chairs. We didn’t find it.Great quiet place. Would love to stay again.

I booked a vacation rental through Expedia/Vrbo. I arrived before check-in, inspected the property, and found it was materially different from the listing. I did not check in, did not stay at the property, canceled immediately, and the host has refused to refund me.

You can relax or surf along its wide sandy beaches, stroll or grab a drink on the iconic Cocoa Beach Pier, or enjoy beachfront parks like Lori Wilson Park.

The area also has fun stops like the Dinosaur Store, escape rooms, and aerial adventure parks for families. Just a short drive away, the Kennedy Space Center adds a unique Space Coast experience, and if you’re lucky, you might even see a rocket launch from the beach. The town rounds it out with casual seafood spots, bars with live music, and beautiful sunrise and sunset views over the ocean.
