Beautiful, spacious and comfortable getaway. Just blocks from the beach and the charming and lively downtown Cocoa Beach action. There’s plenty to do in the area, from watching rocket launches to kayaking to seeing dolphins and manatees!

Beautiful, clean and welcoming home! Very walkable to shops, restaurants and beach. Home is on a canal very quiet and serene. Kitchen well equipped and bedrooms comfortable. Hosts were very friendly and replied quickly. Highly recommend this home.
Everything was easy from start to finish. Very clean, I will tell you that you might think there’s an owl in the kitchen, but it’s just the refrigerator. Lol! Owners are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Beautiful home and perfect for a couple quiet beach days during the Holidays. Gorgeous Christmas in the main living room was a perfect touch for our family Christmas vacation. Hosts were more than patient with unexpected changes in plans for us. Very grateful for their kindness. We loved our stay here. Highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to be at Cocoa Beach. Thank you Janine and Ann
We had an absolutely wonderful time. It is a great location that is very close to different restaurants. Had a very relaxing time on the porch and enjoyed the special touches by the host! Felt very welcomed!
We were so happy with our stay, the home is clean and updated and decorated so wonderfully. Excellent location, and we loved the extras such as the beach chairs and bikes. We would definitely stay here again!
Very well appointed, super clean- had everything we needed. Home was beautiful- we enjoyed the artwork and plants. Location was wonderful.
Owners easy to reach and accommodating.
Thank you so much!
Would definitely recommend! We stayed at The Sea Gypsy for almost a week and had an absolutely amazing time. It was like home away from home. It was above and beyond our expectations. Our girls got to see a dolphin, right in the back yard, on the very first day which was a huge plus. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. Neighbors were very friendly. Janine was extremely helpful and informative. She answered many questions I had prior to our trip and then she even kept in touch while we were there to update us on launches to watch, times to watch, and where to look. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay!
Last minute booking for us landed us a great two week stay just a couple blocks to downtown Cocoa Beach. House had everything we needed for our family and we had a great time. Just moved right in. Plenty of comfortable spaces to hang out and remote work in between beach activities. Really nice backyard with grass to play and chairs to relax on the canal view. The owners are friendly and helpful. Loved the creative touches throughout the home. Will definitely look this one up next time we’re planning to be in town.
The house is exactly as pictured. Wonderfully clean, I did not need to use my house slippers at all. Average pots and pans for a rental but coffee machine and an electric tea kettle was such a nice touch. Rest of kitchen fitted out well and with thought. Communication with owners is great. Not having to run out and buy toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher tabs and other necessities was a huge bonus. Plenty of nice towels for showering and beach.The pluses:Location is exceptional. Just far enough away to not get the full noise but close (and safe) enough to easily walk to all the restaurants and bars. Any launches are easily seen in the backyard looking northeast or down the road at the beach. The room with the desk was perfect for setting up office. Being able to close the sliders for work calls meant others were able to continue to enjoy watching TV. The drawbacks: Outside chairs may be difficult for older people to get in and out of and only one side table for snacks. There is no outside table to sit at or dine. The lack of a full size gas grill was also disappointing but neither were listed on the description so that's on us. Still, have to deduct a star for those.Things to keep in mind: Beds in the two other rooms, as listed, are doubles and not queens like the master suite room. So they may be more suited to children or very small adults if sharing. They may also be somewhat soft to those who really need a firm mattress.
I had to find a last minute place for a work trip, and decided to make a long weekend out of it and this was a good pick for not having many options left. It could use a little clean up and a few more household items to make the house a little more comfortable... I would suggest a TV in the master bedroom with a king size bed and put the Queen in another room. Get sturdier chairs for the outside patio and a table and fire pit. Install an outdoor shower area when coming back from the beach since there is no rinse off areas at the public beach entries. Repair the icemaker on the refrigerator or have a countertop ice maker for guests to use, there is no ice other than ice cube trays. Clean out the garage so it's a little more usable and visually clean. The house listed there was a buggy/cart for traveling to the beach but there isn't, so make a note of that. Put some sort of speaker system in the house for music or a speaker outside or just something to bluetooth music. Add lighting in the back yard or tiki torches and citronella candles for bug repelling and sight at nighttime. Replace the shower heads and keep the hard water build up cleaned off all fixtures. Have a handyman come out and put the front and back door on properly because they open outside instead of inside, have the backyard checked for an irrigation leak or canal wall leak because the yard is super smushy, & finally get the residual smoke smell out of the house from years of someone smoking inside the home.
