About half our guests have stayed with us before. It is virtually impossible that you will find beachfront with ocean view that sleeps four for a better price in Cocoa Beach that's anywhere close to this nice. The main picture in the listing is from the living room. That's an important statement. Many of the vacation rentals do not have a great view but you'd never know it looking at their first picture. When you are looking at places, look for the words beachfront and ocean view. Anything with the word "side" appended generally means you have to cross a highway. Here you can watch the waves crash into the beach from this second floor completely remodeled 2BR 1 BA 764 sf condo. 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. Would that a hurricane could knock this pillbox down we'd have to rebuild about 40' farther from the beach. 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. For the military folks, within 5 minutes is a main gate through which can be found a commissary, PX, Class 6, golf course, marina, etc. 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. Rocket launches, surfing, uncrowded beach, sea turtles, a place to stage for a cruise, beach to river (kayaking) distance, and/or surf fishing are reasons why this stretch of beach is often chosen over others. The unit itself is completely modernized. There's good channel selection for the two smart tech flat screen TV's. 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, granite and ever important for the beach, an icemaker in the freezer. Don't overlook the importance of a dishwasher. This place, like most all others has a washed dishes requirement upon checkout. We count a running dishwasher as you washed. The HVAC was new January 2022 and there is a 40 gallon hot water heater. 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 the three first come, first served spots 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.
