Ocean View and Beach View

About half our guests have stayed with us before. Some people are looking just for the beach and those are most of the ones who repeat, but I will discuss proximity to three places because they are often topics, Kennedy Space Center, the ballfields, and Patrick SFB. Before I get to the three, sea turtles are tripping hazards from May to November while taking moonlit strolls on the beach, and more frequent from June(mama turtles) to August (baby turtles). On to Kennedy. Rockets are better than 70 a year where a look at the schedule of when, you will largely see TBD if the current looking more than 30 days out. If you are in the condo and jump to the conclusion there is an earthquake, it is not. It is a rocket launch. Don't dawdle. They hit the speed of sound in about 16 seconds. The Ballfields (USSSA) are in Viera, It's 24 minutes and about 4 miles. For Patrick SFB the main gate is about 3 minutes. Technically, the commissary is the closest grocery store, but you can go either north or south on A1A and your first regular grocery will each be Publix.

The main picture in the listing is from the living room. Many of the vacation rentals do not have a great view but you'd never know it looking at their first picture. Our place is oceanfront, oceanview looking south down the beach. Hard to quantify but obvious on site is this filled concrete block, no telling how much rebar, reinforced building has stood where others failed. Therefore, as you look up and down the beach you will realize the building sits forward of anything else which greatly facilitates the view. Would that a hurricane could knock this pillbox down we'd have to rebuild about 40' farther from the ocean. There is a 10% discount for bookings 7 or more nights and 15% off for a month or more. The wifi works well. Floridians would describe the setting as Old Florida. It's in a small, low rise complex called La Vista Del Mar with a loyal following in an area of Cocoa Beach referred to alternatively as Crescent Beach and South Cocoa Beach. Locals view it as a quiet, uncrowded area. 2.8 miles north is the beginning of the shopping and entertainment district. There is a heated pool for common use, The unit itself is completely modernized. There's good channel selection for the two TVs but most stream these days. There is a queen in the master and twins in the other bedroom. Also in the other bedroom is a lockable cabinet if you need it. There is a dressing area and makeup table. The kitchen has full size appliances including a dishwasher, and ever important for the beach, an icemaker in the freezer. The unit comes with an assigned garage, though a pickup, van or SUV may have to brave the elements. While all 16 units have designated spots designed in 1966, before SUV's and 4 door pickups became ubiquitous so the unguaranteed Plan B is the three first come, first served spots that can be an exercise in competition, especially in the busy mid January to mid April time period. The building does not have an elevator, but there are other units listed in the building if ground floor is a need. If you do not see others on your search platform, it means at least one of your dates is taken.
