Rhonda, was always available for any questions or help we needed. Property is perfect location to get to a more secluded beach. Just cross A1A, walk down a dead-end street to the bridge that leads you onto beach. Like a one to two minutes walk, if that depending how quickly you can cross A1A and how your pace is walking. Super convenient! The elevator in the house was so helpful for our 93 year old mother, especially because she stayed on the first floor and the kitchen, living room, dining area, and small balcony where she loved to hang out were all on the third floor.The pool and deck were another great feature, I enjoyed quiet times out there.Grocery stores are fairly close. I was even able to find and shop at a Super Walmart within pretty close range considering how far south on the island the house is located. It’s really a great location to be away from hustle and bustle of Cocoa Beach main attractions while being close enough to get to rather quickly.I would recommend this property to my family and friends!

Awesome Family Vacation

We had a great trip to Cocoa Beach and enjoyed this beautiful house. The kids loved all of the beach equipment and made good use of it with a great beach just steps away. They also really enjoyed the pool. The house was well equipped with all of the extras that made it feel like a home away from home!
