About this property

Historic Rocket Views! 2BR Beachfront w/ Private Sand Access"

Welcome to Canaveral Beachfront Villas – Your Front-Row Seat to the Ocean!
This beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhouse is one of just two located on a rare 1.4-acre, oceanfront property with private beach access. Originally built in the 1950s by the Army Corps of Engineers—before coastal construction restrictions—this home sits further seaward than neighboring homes, giving you unmatched panoramic ocean views and even a glimpse of the Kennedy Space Center’s launch pads from your private second-floor deck.

Step out the back door, and you’re only ten steps from the sand. There’s no public beach parking at the end of the street, making this the perfect peaceful retreat for families or friends wanting a truly relaxing beach escape.

Inside, the home is decorated in a cheerful seashell beach cottage style and features a bright, glass-enclosed Florida Room with ocean views. The upstairs master bedroom includes a king-size bed and a private deck with seating for four. The second bedroom offers a comfy queen bed. All beds are outfitted with pillowtop mattresses, quality linens, and fresh towels. A full bath upstairs and a half bath on the first floor (with a washer and dryer) make it easy to accommodate your group.

The kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals and includes everything you need down to the drip coffee maker. We provide beach towels, paper towels, toilet paper, All-brand non-scented laundry detergent, and dryer sheets to help make your stay easy. We also provide hospitality-sized soaps and basic starter essentials to get you settled in—you’re welcome to bring your own favorite full-size products for the rest of your stay.

The outdoor spaces are perfect for unwinding:

A private upstairs deck off the master bedroom
A ground-level patio off the Florida Room
A front patio sitting area
A shared grill and an outdoor shower to help keep the sand outside
We also added a Tesla Wall Charger in October 2024, available for guest use only (not for visiting friends/family). It’s currently shared between the two townhouses—please use it courteously.

Guests enjoy:

Two dedicated parking spaces
High-speed Wi-Fi
Cable TV in the living room and smart TVs in each bedroom (connect your Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ accounts)
Quiet surroundings with no through-traffic

Looking for more space or traveling with a larger group? We have two townhouses available side by side! Renting both together is a great option for extended families or friends vacationing together. Please contact us for availability and details—we’d be happy to help you plan your perfect group getaway.

Need beach or baby gear? We’ve partnered with trusted local vendors who deliver right to your door:

Dog-Friendly Policy:
We love dogs and welcome up to two well-behaved pups under 60 lbs (give or take a pound or two!). A pet fee applies, and dogs must be house-trained, vaccinated, and flea/tick treated. We ask that pets remain off the furniture and beds, be leashed outside, and be rinsed before entering the townhouse. Local laws prohibit dogs on the beach during lifeguard hours unless they are service animals. Early mornings and evenings are perfect for beach strolls with your pup, just like the locals.

Guest Responsibilities:

Trash must be taken to the bins on the south side of the building. Pickup is early Tuesday and Friday mornings. Please ensure the bins are out by the curb to help keep things clean and pest-free.
Notify us of any damage or malfunction before checkout to avoid charges or miscommunication.
Only flush the provided Charmin toilet paper. No wipes (even “flushable”), sand, hair, grease, toys, or anything else. Yes, we’ve had all of these—and we’d rather not again!
Clean the grill after each use, including the grease tray. A replacement is provided in the storage area.
No smoking or vaping is allowed inside or around the townhouse.

We know some of these rules may sound humorous, but they’re here because we’ve seen it all—and we want to ensure you and every guest who stays has a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable experience.

Interaction With Guests:
We’re just a message or call away! While we may not always be on-site, our local team is ready to assist quickly with anything you need during your stay.

We’re excited to welcome you to Canaveral Beachfront Villas, where the beach is your backyard and the rocket launches are part of the view. Let your toes hit the sand, and let your vacation begin!

A clean, comfortable, vintage gem

Stay here before there are no more beach houses left! We found the house very clean, very comfortable and as "beachy" beautiful as can be. There is construction that goes from 8-4 next door. This project will be ongoing for a long time. We spent our days out and about or down on the beach (lovely private beach entrance), so it did not ruin our stay. The upper decks and the outdoor areas are all shared with the other side of the duplex. We were lucky that no one was there after our first day. That being said, this is a true gem of a home. There is nothing like it that I'm aware of in the area. You can walk right out of the house on to the beach. The beds are comfortable with real cotton sheets, and nothing beats the morning views and the sound of the ocean. None of us wanted to leave. I would highly recommend this property, just be aware of the daytime construction and the openness between the two duplex units. Booking, check in and communication all fast, friendly, and easy.

Fantastisch Location

The House is directly at the Beach, a private beach access takes you within 30m to the beach. It is very beutifully decorated and has everything one might Need during a beach vacation.The Location is wonderful and also the neighborhood is quiet.The house is a duplex and the walls are thin, so more energetic neighbors can be heard.My family and I very much enjoyed being there and would certainly come back one time.

As Advertised

The listing properly reflects the inside of the house. Its location is excellent just as it claims. The appliances are all new and in excellent condition. The beds and linens were also quite good. It was very clean and well stocked. We found the sofa and sunroom furniture to be somewhat old and needy. Along with the upstairs patio furniture we expected better for a highly rated property. The location of the TV's in the bedroom left something to be desired. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful pace to stay!

What a wonderful place to stay! Our experience exceeded our expectations. The communication with Erin our host was above and beyond. She was available for our every need. You can see the ocean from the upper deck of the master and chill in front of the Florida room on the bottom level. This place has the ultimate vibe! We will never stay at any other spot near Cocoa Beach! Thank you so much!

Family beach vacation

My family and I had a wonderful vacation at this two story townhome. The location was tucked away from any major hotels/condos in the area. The beach was private and never once crowded. We also got to view several rockets launch from the beach and our upstairs balcony! The townhouse itself was very clean, “home-like”, and contained all necessities for cooking/laundry/cleaning. The beach is a short walk away from the downstairs French doors leading to an adorable bridge that takes you straight to the sand. All in all we would absolutely return to this beautiful beach front townhome again!

A wonderful get-away!

Lovely location. Your own personal walkway to the beach and wide, open ocean. The house was cute and could accommodate a family. It was great to have a kitchen to use, too. The main bedroom has a gorgeous ocean view deck. I loved my morning coffee there. (A large umbrella for the table would have made it perfect!) I struggled with back pain on the mattress a bit, but that could just be me. My favorite room was the sunroom. I did a lot of painting there!

Cute Cottage on the Beach!

The cottage is professionally decorated in a beachy vibe. We had my mom and sister over a couple of nights to celebrate my mom's 87th birthday. (Highly recommend the Marina Ristorante which was only a couple of blocks away - within walking distance. The cottage would be great if you have children as there is a yard and the beach is a couple steps away! We saw a couple of rocket launches off the top deck which added to our enjoyable stay.
