We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pool and hot tub were a hit. We saw multiple manatees, dolphins and other aquatic life right from the back yard. It an easy half mile walk to restaurants and bars.

Thank you Matthew, that sounds like the perfect Cocoa Beach vacation, we are so glad you had a nice time!
This house was great. Owners were immediately responsive when we had questions. Very clean with a lot of beach and canal “toys”. We saw a dolphin, several manatees, a sea turtle and a sea horse in the canal. Hot tub and pool were amazing. Property is so close to everything. We would stay here again for sure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The backyard with the pool and river was amazing. My daughter and one of her friends were able to video a manatee while out on the kayak. We will definitely return if we are back in the area.
Everything was amazing. Pool and hottub were clean and the kids loved them. Kayaks were also amazing. Great fishing! Dolphins and manatees came right up to the backyard!

What a great Florida trip! Thank you for staying at our home, we're so glad you had a nice time!
Stayed 1 week for spring break at the canal house. It was incredible! We fished, went kayaking, and took the bicycles out for ice cream at the Fat Donkey. Home was with walking distance to the beach. Beautiful area. The pool and hot tub was very enjoyable. From the backyard we swung in the swings while watching dolphins and manatees swim by. We cannot wait to come back and visit again!
Everything you need for an enjoyable relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend.We encountered a couple of issues during our stay but these were dealt with quickly and professionally.
We loved our stay! Went kayaking everyday and saw dolphins right behind the house multiple times! Communication with Zareh and Amanda was great, 10/10 :-) The pool was great too!
We enjoyed our stay here so much! The house was as described. Great communication and location with nice amenities. My husband was even able to kayak beside a dolphin in the inlet behind the house!
We had a great stay. Villa is in a good and quiet location, - was very clean, has a great pool and huge hot tub. Very peaceful and relaxing by the pool watching all the wildlife. Saw manatees in canal right outside villa. Loads of beach stuff, kayaks and fishing poles provided. Communication with Zareh was great.

Wow, thank you! We're so glad you had a peaceful and fun stay—Zareh will love hearing that too. Come back anytime! 🌴
The view and the area could not be any better.The home was very clean and more home essentials were provided than we expectes which is always a plus.Our only negative is the broken couches in the livingroom.... held together by screws and very uncomfortable. The outdoor couches were also weather damaged.We would definitely book again if a few changes were made for addes safety/ comfort.

This property was everything we wanted and more! It was very clean, and had plenty of extras that we used like bikes, kayaks, fishing poles, beach chairs and boogie boards. My husband and I walked on the beach each morning and kayaked to find dolphins and manatees each evening. Beautiful home in a beautiful location. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Wow—this made us smile big! 😄 So thrilled you made the most of everything, from beach walks to dolphin kayaking adventures! Thanks for the kind words—we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🌴
This home was as close to perfect as it gets for us-clean, close to walking trail and downtown beach area. Use of the kayaks and bikes was a big plus. The hot tub worked great as well. On top of all of that, the neighbors were so nice and helpful-one of them even gave us a boat ride through the mangroves! The host was very responsive when needed! We hope to return next year!
Nice property with the essentials. The pool was wonderful and where we spent most of our time. It was close to the beach and a lot of great restaurants. You could fish right from the backyard although we caught nothing. There was a bit of an ant issue in the kitchen and guest bath but there was spray.
What a gem! Quiet neighborhood with minutes to beach, shopping and restaurants. Newly remodeled and fashionable. Hot tub and pool are amazing and steps away from bay inlet. We rocked in hanging chairs at the bay’s water edge. Watched sunset from the pool and star-gazed in hot tub! Hard to leave the house and go to the beach! So peaceful and lovely.

Another great stay in cocoa beach
The home we stayed in for our family thanksgiving gathering was awesome. Located on one of Cocoa Beach's canals with a back yard that felt secluded but only a five minute walk to all the action of downtown Cocoa Beach. We watched manatees and dolphins frolic in the canal, used the house's kayaks to explore and enjoyed the hot tub. It was a little chilly for the pool but definitely would get lots of use in warmer weather. The house itself had everything we needed and plenty of space for our group of six. And, as always the folks at Stay in Cocoa beach were attentive and helpful.
