About this property
"Charming 1BR w/ Pool – Beachside Bliss for Two!"
Welcome to your sunny second-floor beach cottage in beautiful Cape Canaveral! This cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath retreat is tucked into a quiet, three-unit property just over a block from the beach—an ideal spot for couples, solo travelers, or small families seeking a relaxed coastal getaway. Guests enjoy access to a private pool reserved only for the cottages and house on the property, plus a grill area, recreation space, and a shared laundry room stocked with supplies.
Inside, you'll find a bright and beachy space designed for comfort and ease. The bedroom features a queen-size memory foam bed, a protective topper, and soft, cotton-spun linens. The living room includes a futon for extra sleeping space, and extra bedding is provided. The bathroom is newly updated with a stand-up shower, a charming seashell pedestal sink, and custom shelving. We provide plenty of towels for both beach days and bath time.
The large kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials—including a drip coffee maker and cooking tools—so you can easily enjoy meals at home. We also supply linens, cleaning products, and starter paper goods. To help you settle in, we provide hospitality-sized soaps and basic items to get you started. Additional supplies can be found in the complimentary guest storage area if needed during your stay.
Your stay also includes one reserved parking space, DirecTV, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Head downstairs to enjoy the peaceful outdoor amenities, including the private pool, grills (gas and charcoal), and a guest-only laundry room with two brand-new washers and dryers (2023), along with laundry supplies provided for your convenience. It’s like staying at a bed and breakfast—only you make breakfast your way!
We’re a family-friendly property and happy to help you travel light. Need baby gear or beach toys? These local services deliver straight to your door:
Baby/Child Equipment: babyaway.com Beach Equipment & Surf Lessons: a1abeachrentals.com Mention you're staying with Great Getaway Rentals and enjoy 10% off your order! This cottage is located in a peaceful beachside neighborhood, and the beach is just a short walk away. If you prefer to drive, there’s free parking at the public beach access at the end of the street. You’re within minutes of the Cocoa Beach Pier, Port Canaveral, and Kennedy Space Center. Head south to explore the Brevard Zoo or enjoy cultural spots in the Melbourne area. There's plenty to do—whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation.
While there’s quite a bit to see within walking distance, we recommend a car to make the most of your trip. If you’re not driving, local cabs, Uber, and the Space Coast Area Transit bus (just a few blocks away on A1A) are great alternatives.
We love dogs and welcome up to two well-behaved pups under 60 lbs each (give or take a few pounds!). A pet fee applies to help us maintain a clean space. Dogs must be house-trained, fully vaccinated, treated for fleas/ticks, and well-behaved. Please keep pups off furniture and out of the pool, rinse sandy paws before entering, and leash them in common areas. Local ordinances prohibit dogs on the beach during lifeguard hours unless they are service animals, but early morning and evening strolls are a favorite with locals.
Guests are asked to place all trash in the bins on the south side of the building. Trash pickup is on Tuesdays and Fridays early in the morning—helping get bins to the curb keeps everything safe and tidy. Please notify us if anything breaks or needs attention before you leave so we can address it without issue. Only flush the provided (Charmin) toilet paper—no wipes (even if labeled flushable), grease, hair, or anything else. Guests are responsible for any plumbing repairs due to improper flushing.
The grill should be cleaned after use, including emptying and replacing the grease tray with a new one from the storage area so the next guest can enjoy it too.
Pool and common area guidelines are in place to keep things fun, safe, and family-friendly:
Pool hours are sunrise to sunset only No loud or explicit music No rowdy behavior or late-night swimming No parties or excessive guest gatherings No grilling inside the pool area No running or jumping into the pool These rules may sound funny—but they’re based on real situations that we’d all prefer to avoid! We truly want every guest to have a fantastic, comfortable stay.
As local owner-managers, we’re nearby and just a call or message away if you need anything during your trip. We’re happy to help with restaurant tips, beach ideas, or anything else that helps you enjoy your time on the Space Coast.
We look forward to welcoming you to your home away from home!

Tastefully decorated, clean 1bed maybe 2 blocks from the beach. Host was very communicative and great to work with. Nice pool and pool area included. Washer, dryer and grill. The unit was second floor which I was not aware when booking, or I would not have managed the stairs. Rough neighbors with sort of a run-down apartment - police were there often but I felt safe! There was a mattress by the entryway which felt tacky to me. Shower curtain kept falling down but we rigged it back up.
VRBO gem, pool with toddler area was a game changer.
Absolutely thrilled with our stay! Walk to the beach was less than five minutes. Watched a few rocket launches from the beach and even from the balcony.
Hosts were incredibly responsive/efficient and we all felt at home immediately upon entering the upstairs unit. Unit: well furnished/great beach decor, comfortable bed and pull out couch. Kitchen had all we needed utensil/cookware etc. Blender made great smoothies for the kiddos and good size fridge /freezer.
Pool was nice and cool the way we like it, pool vacuum did its job and the shallow end was a game changer for us and our 3.5 and 6 year old. Parents could float while kids enjoyed playing in the toddler area. Secure fences for peace of mind and easy access to washer / dryer / supplies.
Erin was friendly, had great suggestions and Winston (adorably polite pup) was a hit with all of us.
The question we had after our stay wasn’t, would we come back? It was when are we coming back and which unit should we choose next time?!!? Def will book again and debated switching to the option with more bedrooms only so we had a second bedrooms. As mentioned b4, pullout couch super comfy and worked so no complaints. Unit was spacious and we absolutely loved our stay. Thanks guys!!!

Very good but basic accommodations. Stayed three weeks enjoyed Cocoa Beach and all it offers.
Everything you need to enjoy the beach in a cozy cottage.
Just moved to Florida and stayed here for a month. It is a nice place, my wife and I enjoyed it very much. We brought our dog and she had a great time as well.

Perfect for my family!
It was exactly what our family needed. Close to the beach, clean, and comfortable! The pool was really nice. The owners were great, even letting us in early when we got to town way, way ahead of our expected arrival time.

Thank you for having us at your cozy cottage. We throughly enjoyed our stay. Everything you need is right there even down to the laundry detergent and dryer sheets 💚 Very well kept place and the bed is really comfortable too. We would definitely come back to this place.
This was a wonderful 2 weeks with our dog. There were 2 other units in this complex and both of them had dogs as well. The dogs got to play while we got to relax before returning to the cold.
Location was great.

Perfect for business and pleasure
Stayed at the cottages on a business trip and loved it. The place has high speed internet and you don't have to share the signal with a hotel full of people. I can even get on the wi-fi sitting by the pool! Parking is right outside the door, the place is quiet. Last time I stay at a hotel in Cape Canaveral!
The home is very nice and management is very responsive. There was air conditioning issues, moldy smell in house and pool was dirty.

Comfortable unit
Overall this is a very nice condo. Just right for two people. The hot water heater could not handle anymore. I would suggest adding a ceiling fan in the bedroom and new window treatments as the wooden blinds are dated and difficult to use. We spent about seven weeks here and do expect to stay with Brian and Erin again in the future. We already have our eye on the first floor unit in 2021.
This property has a TV but doesn’t come with TV service. You can log into YOUR AT&T account, if you have one. We bought an inexpensive Roku at the store and problem solved. Would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Cute cottage with plenty of room for our family!
We loved the location and the lovely pool of this cute cottage! Our family of 4 found it a nice place to stay while visiting NASA and of course the beach. It was unusually cold during our stay so the pool and the ocean was too cold to really enjoy without a skin suit, which my son wore to surf. But we still enjoyed ourselves emensley! Although it’s a 1 bedroom, there was an air bed (twin) in the closet and we brought one with us, so we just moved the table and set up the air beds in that spot. Of course there is a full size futon, but we wanted to be able to use it as a couch while watching tv even while the boys were in bed. Anyway, everything was there that we needed and the place is so lovely! I hope to return again sometime soon!!!
Very pleasant stay. Having a full kitchen was very important as we took all meals there, which really helps keep costs down. The onsite laundry room is always a must for us, as it allows us to underpack for trips. The weather was not the greatest so the pool was a bit too cold to enjoy, but that is not under anyone's control, and it is nice to have the option. The walk to the beach was reasonable and two streets over is a town park on the beach with bathroom facilities, so you do not have to run all the back to the unit, if you are at the beach. There were fishing poles available and we did enjoy that. There were a few minor quirks, but that just reminded me of home. The little deck was really nice to relax on also. We really enjoyed our time there. If I had to list any flaws it would be nice if the showerhead had a water saver option, as 4min 48sec was a bit short for me. That being said it was overall a very nice experience.
