I’d like to start this review by urging you to disregard the poor review on this listing- it’s completely unfounded. We just wrapped up a very enjoyable 6 night stay. We could not have asked for a more convenient location. It is a little bit off of the main roads to be quiet, but also only a short distant from many attractions and activities. This is a great place to stay if you have a well behaved dog. There is a small yard and patio away from all the cars and many quiet neighborhoods to stroll down and explore.
I also commend the owner on the cleanliness of this property. It was virtually spotless. And we also appreciated that everything worked! All the lights, windows, appliances, etc... when you stay at lots of inexpensive places, you get used to some things not being operational, but this place does not have that problem.
While the beach is not far away, this is not a beachfront place. The nearest is a 15 minute walk, but there is not much parking. There are a few others close by. Overall, the quiet but central location made up for the short distance to the beach. The owner also has a couple bicycles that she will loan you if you ask her.
Speaking of the owner, she was not physically but reachable, making her the perfect person to rent from. She provided us with all the info about the rental ahead of time and was easy to contact when we had a question about something. The place was very thoughtfully stocked with some essentials- lots of towels, cleaning supplies and a few toiletries. The washing machine in the unit is a huge bonus! There is a dishwasher but we just hand-washed and used the dish drying rack that is also provided. The area is also teeming with peacocks, which adds some interest if you don’t mind the calls in the morning.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this property If you’d like to be centrally located in Cocoa Beach/Canaveral, but not be in a big city setting. A reasonable owner is also a huge bonus. We were grateful to find a great place to stay during our visit and we will definitely be staying again if we wind up in this part of the world again.
