Perfect stay in Cape Canaveral

We were completely satisfied with the spacious and very well-equipped apartment and can highly recommend it. We miss watching animals on the jetty in the Banana River

Great Hospitality with Minimal Outside Activities

Lots of welcome gifts. Well stocked kitchen and refrigerator. Outside was a disappointment. Campers nearby had sewer smell. Outside deck included garbage cans view. A little dated in the bath and furniture. We did enjoy one night on the pier for the sunset. Nothing for young kids to do. Beach was not convenient and no pool. We even left a day early to go to the Courtyard for pool and beach. I would not stay again.

Amazing stay!

This townhouse was a perfect fit for our family. Loved the location. Spent alot of time on the pier. It was very clean and we appreciated the basket of snacks and all of the little extras that were there…laundry detergent, soaps, LOTS of towels. Went across the street to the beach to see a rocket launch! Will stay here again if we come back to the area.

Peaceful waterfront getaway

The property and its location have exceeded our expectations. The townhouse felt like home, very clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is so well equipped, we were able to make our favorite meals as if we were at our house. Both bedrooms have a lovely view of Banana River and the king-sized beds are very comfortable. We loved the deck with gas grill which we used every night. I really enjoyed the dock and would take my cup of coffee in the morning to watch manatees swimming around. It was very serene. The location is also within walking distance from the beach and neighborhood is quiet and very friendly. Kathe, the host, is very easy to reach and responds immediately in case of need. We were very happy with this rental and felt like we got really lucky to find it.

Won’t be disappointed

Family trip to the beach and NASA visit. Everyone loved the view on the back porch and the beach was very close. Will be back! The kitchen was great as I cook a lot on vacation. Too expensive to eat out these days.

Nice location in River

Very nice cul de sac location on the Banana River in the middle of Cape Canaveral. Beach is not close per se but you are right on the river; so great! Views at sunset are magnificent. Lots of wildlife - fish jumping, ducks, wood storks, pelicans and lots of manatees.

Better than advertised!!!!!

Went to this great accommodation with a golf group. The unit had everything as advertised, and more! We could think of nothing we needed that wasn't there. The location was great and very quiet for being just off A1A. Two good golf courses with 11 miles and plenty of good eating places. Great shoreline relaxation spot with fantastic Banana River views . Fantastic.

A perfect getaway

Kathe's place had the most beautiful view! I stayed in the downstairs bedroom off of the deck. I’m not even sure if it was the master, since there was an equally spacious and beautiful room with a king bed with a balcony and adjoining bathroom upstairs. We arrived after dark and my teen boys (15 & 17) headed straight for the upstairs room and loft, which had the perfect amount of space and privacy for them. The downstairs closet was full of everything you’d need for a day at the beach and more. The private dock on the Banana River right behind Kathe’s place was the best part. She had fishing poles and a small tackle box that we were able to use. My younger son was out there for hours each day! The view from the pier (and my bedroom) were stunning. We saw dolphins once as well as a few manatee that visited throughout the day, just next to the pier. There were all kinds of birds on the shore and in the palm trees. She even had a really nice pair of binoculars for the guests to use. There were cold bottles of water in the fridge, coffee (Keurig) and creamer, and even one or two frozen meals in the freezer (which my boys scarfed down when we got there). Kathe was very responsive to messages through VRBO and said to help ourselves to anything in the kitchen and that my son could use the fishing gear. She even had a book with info on the area and a few menus. All of her neighbors were very nice. I hope we’ll be back next year! Thank you Kathe for the perfect stay!

Great place and location!

We had a fantastic stay at Kathe’s townhouse right on the river. It was a great location on the water and the dock made it so convenient for my husband to fish both mornings and evenings. The condo has everything you can need and is comfortable and clean. We have stayed at several VRBO’s and this one definitely had more amenities than most. The owners have thought of everything you might need for a week stay from beach chairs, umbrellas to toiletries. We are coming back in the fall and will definitely stay here again!

Amazing getaway!

This property was everything that our family of three needed! It’s pretty spacious, definitely would be comfy for a group of 6. Home was clean, attractive and had comfortable beds. The beach gear is awesome. The deck and dock were just awesome. And we were close to so many great things! Sunsets during our stay were gorgeous. We enjoyed a kayak tour with Cocoa Kayaks. We saw manatees and turtles and tons of dolphins. We very much hope to return!

The property is situated in a very quiet area and has a lovely view over the Banana River. The property was homely and is very well equipped. Kath was very quick to respond to all our queries and was a great host. Nothing was too much trouble. Wish we could have stayed longer here, and would certainly recommend.

Great stay!!

This property is exactly why I rent homes during vacation - it was home away from home. The house has everything we needed, kids loved the toy closet and the beach wagon was so convenient. The beach is only 10-15min walk or quick drive. We spent one day on the beach, the other watching the launch - what an experience! The views from the back are breathtaking. I wished we stayed longer!

The place was exactly what we needed. The whole family really enjoyed it. Loved being able to fish off the dock, and being so close to so much to do. The price was right and the owner was very nice.

About the host

Hosted by Kathe

I live in OC California where I practice nursing in the school system. I have two grown children and a lot of pets, lol. MY BF and I met in San Diego during our college years and we re - connected in central Florida. He lives with me in So - Cal now but we both still love the warm tropical nights and ocean of Florida.

Why they chose this property

My brother Charlie and I purchased this town home as a family vacation home. We have family on both the west and east coast that love to migrate to Florida at various times of the year and this seemed to be the perfect fit all the way around.
Charlie is the "go to" guy for any maintenance or technical issues. He's pretty busy with his beautiful wife and son but always makes time to help our guests from afar if need be.

What makes this property unique

The neighborhood, the amazing sunsets, the dock where you can watch a rocket launch in the sky and the manatees playing in the water, all contribute to the thrill of visiting this gorgeous property as often as we can.
