We have been staying at a motel about a mile away for the last 8 years. Nice location on the beach,but it was a single room, and on the dark side. Nice for maybe two to three nights. The price had gone up due to ownership change, so we decided to try something different, since we wanted to stay for 6 nights. We were very pleased with our choice of Cocoa Sands. So much so, that we are planning to return next year for possibly 2 weeks. We had a very pleasent stay, nice accomodations, easy access to the beach, friendly neighbors. Just a really nice stay.
