About the host
Hosted by Justin Heidebrink
I love to hike, read, and spend time with friends and family. I love being a host because I get to give future guests a wonderful home to make memories in with their own friends and/or family. Enjoying new places and experiences are what makes life worth living!
Why they chose this property
I love that the beach is across the street from the home. Only about 100 steps! I also love how close it is to downtown Cocoa Beach and the environment there. Also, no matter where you may be, you can almost always get a good view of a NASA or SpaceX rocket launch!
What makes this property unique
This property has been in our family since 1947 and we went through a complete remodel that took over 3 years to complete. Everything is brand new! We renovated the pool and built the entire summer kitchen that includes the second full bathroom. There are countless things that are custom made including the welcome bench, the mirror borders, the kitchen/dining table, all of the shiplap, etc. We also wanted to include a speaker system that guests can connect to that makes our home a paradise to relax in.
