Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Parking was easy and secure. Room was cool. Many people staying, but friendly. Beach chairs and carts on the propery as well as beach towels. A bit of a walk to downtown. Easy close drive. I would definitely stay again.
We had some issues with the unit we used but voiced those to management and they were very responsive. Location was great

I had a great experience here!! Being an ex Cocoa Beach resident, it was in a great location!! Very walkable to everything, especially the beach!! If you don't want to walk, you can pick up the A1A trolley northbound by 6th street! It goes all the way through Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral and turns around in the Port!! I'll definitely keep this place in mind when I return to the area!!
The property was super cute and clean. It served its purpose. I would like to suggest that maybe an iron or steamer be included. Everything else was great.

Lovely chalet-style apartment. Clean and beautifully decorated, although could have done with some table lamps in living room and bedroom (main lights were a bit harsh when relaxing). Easy parking and good communication with check-in details. Quick and easy walk to the beautiful Cocoa Beach. Quiet, relaxing and felt really safe.

I absolutely adored this location, it was perfect for a solo couple day getaway. It was quiet, secluded and close to all the things I was looking to do. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Staff reached out preemptively and the place was very clean. Would recommend clearer instruction on where to put dirty linens and towels - and recommend changing the thermostat to something cooler - the air was a bit stale and humid when we walked in. Other than that, good stay.

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Unfortunately the listing was not showing correct information / or the host decided to assign another room to us. It was listed as a second room with queen bunk bed, which ended up being only a regular one. We were not able to comfortably house 5 people. I called and they told me there was a mattress in the closet which is not a decent replacement
This was one of the nicest units I have stayed in. Very peaceful. I found this unit very last minute but the manager was still very accommodating and got us in smoothly. The beach is across the road but worth every step.

Not safe. Door left ajar when we came back even though it was locked when we left. Not sure if someone has a secret key. There is no deadbolt to lock it from the inside, and only an electronic lock that could be glitchy and randomly open.
