Cocoa Beach is a short stroll from this vacation home, and other popular attractions like Cocoa Beach Pier are within a mile (2 km). The vacation home includes a kitchen, a balcony, and a dining area.
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

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.

I stayed in this lovely and perfectly positioned house for nearly a week and it was glorious. All the mod cons and most of all, great views of the sea and the sunrise was spectacular from the top terrace (my favourite time of day). Your own walkway to the beach with rabbits dashing around in front of you it's a wonderful place to stay. Thank you Brian and Erin for being so helpful. I'll hope to stay again next time I'm there for a rocket launch from Kennedy

Great location right on the beach great views from the deck and was very clean. The price was a little high propably because it was spring break . It would have been perfect if it was just us but halfway through vacation the adjoining town house was rented and honestly we can hear everything from the other renters even there conversations were very clear . We then felt we had to be quiet because they would hear us which made it a little uncomfortable

Beautiful house and private beach
We loved our stay at Erin and Bryan’s beach house. The house was very clean and decorated super cute! The townhouse is private and the beach is not crowded! The yard and outdoor space was nice to spend time in the evenings. Including the upstairs deck off the master.The grill worked great as well as all the appliances inside. While we stayed we got to see two rockets launch which was an awesome experience! Each year my family meets in Florida and the host was gracious letting them come by off and on. We were able to allow our pups to walk on the beach with us in the mornings and evenings too! Book it, you will love it!

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.

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.

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!
