About this property

Diplomat Resort | Private Beach, Heated Pool & Heart of Cocoa Beach

Transform your dream beach vacation into reality at our 5-star condo in Cocoa Beach`s iconic Diplomat Beach Resort. Soak up the sun on our private beach, cool off in the heated pool, or play pickleball, tennis & shuffleboard on-site. Walk to restaurants, shops & Publix. Just 30 min to Kennedy Space Center (watch rockets launch from the beach!) and an hour to Disney & Universal. Beach chairs, towels, games & a full kitchen - everything you need for the perfect Florida escape.

YOUR BEACH & RESORT PLAYGROUND
The Diplomat is a Cocoa Beach institution with a rich history and genuinely resort-like amenities. Cool off in the meticulously maintained heated pool, challenge your crew to pickleball or tennis, settle a score on the bocce ball or shuffleboard courts, then stroll down the private boardwalk to the beach and rinse off at the outdoor shower. Everything you need for the perfect beach day is right outside your door.

A LOCATION THAT HAS IT ALL
You`re in the heart of Cocoa Beach - walk to Publix, mini golf, restaurants, bars, and the beach without ever starting the car. A quick 5-minute drive puts you at Cocoa Beach Pier and Ron Jon`s Surf Shop. Just 30 minutes to Kennedy Space Center (and yes, you can watch rocket launches right from the beach!). When you`re ready for a theme park day, Disney and Universal are about an hour away, making this the ideal home base for the ultimate Florida getaway.

YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Tucked into a quiet second-story corner, this beautifully renovated condo is soundproofed with insulated storm windows, so your space stays peaceful whether you`re winding down after a long beach day or settling in for an extended stay. The living room is built for downtime: sink into the oversized couch and fire up the 65 inch TV with cable and Roku for movie nights after long beach days. The master bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, a 50 inch TV, a full bedroom set and easy chair - your retreat at the end of the day. The second bedroom has a full-size bed, perfect for kids or a travel companion.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED - NOTHING YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT
Skip the overpriced boardwalk breakfast and make pancakes in your pajamas in the fully equipped kitchen with pots, pans, blender, dishwasher, ice maker, and all the basics. Morning coffee is handled with the Keurig - take it out to the balcony and watch the sunrise launches. We`ve packed in all the beach essentials too: chairs, towels, a cooler bag, kids games, beach toys, and books. There`s even a washer and dryer in the unit so you can pack half the suitcase you normally would. Just show up and enjoy - we`ve thought of everything so you can focus on what matters.

HERE ON ASSIGNMENT?
The Space Coast draws professionals year-round - contractors and engineers at Kennedy Space Center, SpaceX, NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Patrick Space Force Base regularly call Cocoa Beach home for weeks at a time. This condo works just as well for an extended work stay as it does for a vacation. Fully stocked kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, 500 Mbps WiFi, a full bedroom set with easy chair, and everything you need to live comfortably - not just crash. If you`re on assignment on the Space Coast, you`ve found the right place.

I’m not a fan of the next air conditioner system that turn off on its own. And I like hot water to bath in. The place is very cute and clean and convenient . The owner addressed problems quickly. And was very kind and helpful.

Business trip accommodation

Scott’s condo was perfect for my stay. Our company was involved in a project at the Kennedy Space Center and needed many days to be on the project. This condo had every amenity needed for a comfortable stay, a fully stocked kitchen with appliances, a fully stocked linen closet, beach chairs and towels, and a full sized washer and dryer in the unit. Essentially right on the beach a mere 75 steps away.

Slice of Heaven

Our stay at Scott’s place was nothing short of amazing. He communicated so well and you could tell he genuinely wanted us to enjoy our time. We didn’t have much time to explore outside of the busy baseball schedule, but Scott had so many recommendations and even called to let us know of the unexpected launches happening during our stay! We had everything we needed to stay comfortably. A washing machine was a must with the frequent uniform washing, so that was a really nice plus!! We left a little piece of us there and can’t wait to come back!!

Cami, It was so wonderful having you stay with us as well! I love that I had a future hall of fame player stay with me. I can say, "hey I knew him way back when". :) It was a pleasure having you and your family, I hope to see you again soon!

Softball Tournament with beach time

We were in town for our daughter's softball World Series at the Space Coast Complex. We wanted to find a place on the beach that had a pool for the down time between the long days at the field. Scott's place was perfect for the 4 of us! We had chairs, toys, and the beach umbrella for the beach days! There are board games and books to enjoy while relaxing on the beach. The drive was only 30-35 mins to the complex so it was perfect! Very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable! We got to watch satellites launch and find lots of sand dollars, crabs, and beautiful shells. Scott was extremely helpful and even provided complimentary early check in which was amazing to go ahead and get an extra day at the beach. We will be staying here the next time we come to Cocoa!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Sklar

Host profile image

We are Northerners who moved to Florida during the pandemic. We thought we would ride out "the storm" and move back north once the world figured itself out. Once we got here, we realized we found paradise and would never leave! We want to share our little slice of paradise with others, which is why we are offering our apartment to you. We have another home about 20 minutes away where we stay full time and can assist with any needs while you stay.

Why they chose this property

I mean, why not this property? It's quite, clean, nice and on the beach. There is shopping bars, activities, sports, Cocoa pier, Mini golf, oh and rocket launches all within 5 minutes of the front door!
