Everything was wonderful and just as listed. Oceanfront and corner of the building gave us lots of windows and light. It was very well furnished, kitchen well equipped, and it was supplied with soaps, paper products, etc. Communication was clear and timely and lots of instructions were provided. The heated pool was quite welcome, as the ocean was still rather cool. The balcony was lovely and beach access was great.

Spring Break 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo! Jennifer was available if needed and the condo was over accommodating with all of the kitchen essentials plus more if you wanted to air fry food or use a crockpot. The condo was beautiful, very clean, well laid out for a larger group if needed and had a gorgeous view! We even saw a Space X shuttle take off! The walk to the beach was minimal. I would highly recommend staying here (and I’m a hard person to please with higher expectations!). When we come back to Cocoa Beach we will be booking this condo again!
