About this property

This Suite Old House: 1938 Charm Steps from the Water

Step back in time without giving up a single modern comfort at This Suite Old House, a lovingly preserved 1938 home in Cocoa, just two lots from the water. Original vintage details give the house a character you won't find in newer rentals, while thoughtful updates make every stay easy and relaxing. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, it comfortably sleeps up to eight, making it a wonderful fit for families, couples, and small groups.



Inside, warm and inviting living spaces set the tone for slow mornings and cozy evenings. The well-equipped kitchen is ready for shared meals, and a dedicated workspace means you can catch up on email or map out tomorrow's adventures in comfort. At the end of the day, each bedroom offers a peaceful place to unwind.



Outside, gather at the shared pavilion, where a fireplace invites evening conversations, stories, and quiet moments under the open sky. And with the water just a short stroll away, sunset walks are an easy part of every day.



When you're ready to explore, beaches, local restaurants, and Space Coast attractions are all within easy reach, so you get a peaceful setting with everything you need close by. Whether you come to relax, work, or explore, This Suite Old House is a timeless home base for your Florida getaway.



How far is the beach?

The closest ocean beaches are in Cocoa Beach, about 10 miles (15–20 minutes) away at Alan Shepard Park and Sidney Fischer Park. The Indian River is about a block from the house, and it's a great spot for sunsets and dolphin sightings.



Can we walk to Cocoa Village?

Yes, it's about a 10-minute walk to the Village's restaurants, shops, pubs and the riverfront park. It's also walkable to the Space Coast Marathon start and finish.



How many showers are there?

There is one full shower, on the first floor. The upstairs bathroom has a claw-foot soaking tub without a shower. The bedrooms are upstairs, so larger groups should plan shower times.



Is there a bedroom on the main floor?

Bedrooms are upstairs, so if someone in your group can't do stairs.



Is anyone else on the property?

Yes. There's a separate rental unit on the same property with its own entrance.



Is it noisy at night?

The neighborhood is quiet, but a train line runs nearby and trains can pass at night. If you're a light sleeper, we recommend earplugs.



What is there to do outdoors?

The sideyard pavilion has an outdoor fireplace, a pizza oven and a grill, plus a front porch.



Is it kid-friendly?

Yes. There's a kids' room with a kids table, dress-up clothes, toys, books and games.

We chose this house when planning a trip for a family Memorial Service and were not sure if other out of town family would need a place to stay. As it turned out only the two of us stayed. And it was perfect for a quiet respite after several family gatherings. Host promptly responsive, house was clean, kitchen well stocked - pick up a bag of ice, no ice maker and no ice cube trays. Left a message that disposal in sink not working. Laundry area was very helpful.Only suggestions are inform that driveway does not have a turn space and recommend to be sure to back out carefully and ask for check out instructions to come with check in instructions. With family activities and a very early flight home, I didn't check email until I arrived home. Thankfully nothing major was missed.I brought several business cards to share with friends who may be visiting Florida in the future.Thanks Kelsy and Briana

Very homey & welcoming house within walking distance of Cocoa Village. Kelsy was a gracious & consistent communicator. Lovely space outside to enjoy the evening breeze off the river or a morning cup of coffee. Quiet neighborhood with interesting houses & gardens.. While many short term rentals feel sparse & souless this Indian River Getaway felt like a welcoming home. Happy to stay again & recommend to visiting friends.

About the host

Hosted by Kelsy McKim

Host profile image
Hi there! I'm a stay-at-home mom of three wonderful girls. We moved from Montana to Florida in 2015, and while it was a bit of a culture shock, we sure don't miss scraping windshields! We fell in love with our 1938 home, complete with an apartment above the old garage. Inspired by a friend's vacation rental back in Montana, my husband suggested we try hosting. I was hesitant at first, but I quickly fell in love with welcoming guests and making them feel at home. We can't wait to host you, so come settle right in!

Why they chose this property

Step inside and feel the home's unique character, from the original 1938 Merritt Island Pine floors to the thoughtfully appointed rooms. The main living area invites you to unwind on one of two comfortable sofas. For those mixing work with pleasure, a dedicated workspace is available for your convenience. Prepare delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen, which features granite countertops and a classic farmhouse sink. The home comfortably sleeps guests across three bedrooms: Bedroom 1: Queen Bed and a queen futon Bedroom 2: Queen Bed Bedroom 3: Two Twin Beds Family-Friendly Amenities: Pack ’n play/travel crib Children’s books and toys One of the home's best features is the expansive, covered outdoor pavilion. Here you can grill your favorite meals, dine al fresco, or gather around the warmth of the outdoor fireplace on a cool evening. Please note this is a shared space.

What makes this property unique

To ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay, please note a few important details about our historic home: Bathroom Layout: The home has two full bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom features a charming vintage clawfoot tub (no shower), while the full walk-in shower is located in the downstairs bathroom off the laundry room. Shared Pavilion: The wonderful outdoor pavilion, including the grill and fireplace, is a shared space with guests staying in a separate, detached apartment on the property.
