This was my first vacation rental. I was nervous about the experience. However, the host was kind and gracious. He helped me understand the process and was quick to answer my questions along the way.
The home was private, in a quiet neighborhood, and had a nice fenced-in yard complete with toys for our children. There was plenty of parking for our 11-person family. The property was very clean. It felt just like home! I was able to cook inside, grill outside, and even wash our clothing as the week progressed. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of closet space. The host thought of everything: There were extra blankets, towels, and sunscreen, too. I especially appreciated that there was an oscillating fan in the king-sized room. (Some of us can't sleep without one!)
We selected this location given its proximity to Kennedy Space Center, where my husband's lab at NASA would be launching a satellite. This property is close to both the NASA Causeway Bridge and the KSC entrance off A1A. My husband was able to get on base quickly each time he was needed.
Additionally, we enjoyed the proximity to many beaches. The property is just a block away from the Indian River, which has established parkland in close range. However, our favorite spot was at Peacock Beach on the Atlantic, which was just a short drive away. The Cocoa Beach Pier and other beaches along A1A were also nearby.
If returning to Cocoa, I would book this property again. Thank you for a great stay!
