About this property

Hidden gem just a drive from the beach and village

Keep it sweet and simple at this peaceful and centrally-located home. This fully remodeled home is built on a low-traffic street with a large backyard and is only minutes away from the local attractions. Only a 2-minute drive from Historic Cocoa Village and a 15-minute drive from the beautiful Cocoa Beach. Enjoy ice cream anytime at the Dairy Queen just down the street. Pets are allowed but a pet fee is required. If you have a pet you must message me the number of pets, breed, and size before booking. :)
