Nice place
Good stay, can’t beat it for beach access. It’s small so don’t be surprised by that. We had issues with the AC and internet, but the owners were on site and everything was fixed in a couple days.

Arrived to learn someone else was already in our rental!! There was no place for us to stay.
We booked the property two and a half weeks before our Memorial Day weekend trip. At that time, there weren’t many places left to book , but still a few. This was the best one we could find from what we could tell. So, we booked it quickly. Two and a half weeks later, after driving four hours to this rental in Cocoa Beach - receiving confirmation emails and even check-in instructions. We typed in the code to enter our rental, opened the door, and found someone else’s belongings in the living areas - a backpack and a laptop. We decided we’d better call the owner to see what was going on. It was well after our check-in time, but there was clearly someone else in our rental. So, we called. No answer. Then texted. The owner responded and said he was busy on a conference call. Then he texted us and said that someone else had booked the property and somehow VRBO allowed us to book it as well. We asked him to call so we could sort this out. He continued texting us. Never picked up the phone to call us. He did manage to refund us our money 100% which took 24 hours to arrive. We ended up finding a hotel to stay in. It could’ve been worse, but then again, it could have been much better. I don’t understand how we could have double-booked a property and not find out until arriving at the property. I also don’t understand how an owner/manager of a vacation rental business could not have the customer service skills to pick up the phone and call us and talk to us about our options. We were literally 4 hours away from home with a car full of luggage and beach items and nowhere to go. We did the work and found a new place, a hotel room, by ourselves. It was an extremely awkward and unfortunate situation.

Great little getaway!
My sister and I stayed here for 2 nights. The bed felt like more of a double than a queen and the couch/futon wasn't very comfortable. Other than those 2 things, it was great. It was clean and perfect location to the beach.(we walked a short block) The owners had beach chairs and boogie boards we could use as well. We didnt cook and drove everywhere else we went.

Perfect location!
This cottage was SO close to the beach!!! We didn’t have to worry about parking and it’s not too far from all we wanted to do. The hosts replied fast and were kind. The only thing that held me back a little bit was the comforter had a weird smell/was probably due for a good wash :) I typically bring my own blankets so I should’ve been prepared. Other wise everything was PERFECT!! The way you enter is private and away from noise. Very easy check in and check out.

Perfect Location! Super cute, very comfortable and quiet. Only issue was a MAN had MY door code, the MAN entered door code and walked into my unit. Apparently he ALSO had the exact same reservation??? I called number for property manager, left inquiry message and NEVER got a call back? A little unsettling in terms of safety. The MAN also had a number to call and left a message. I guess it got resolved, however, it would have been nice to talk with a human being to rectify the situation and to have verification that I was staying in a safe and secure unit.

Great location, a 3 minute walk to beach, convenience store and the bus line. Safe neighborhood. Was fun meeting other in the complex, we had BBQ one night. Few suggestions the small couch should have some sort of topper you can put on it to sleep as it was not comfortable at all due the bump when opened up. We cooked most of meals and could have used a skillet/fry pan for like bacon. We talked with one of the gals cleaning and she gave us extra towels, for the beach as we were there over a week which was nice. Loved the hot tub and having access to beach chairs. We left our cooler there for other to use in the future. We will definitely stay in this complex again.
