About this property

"Blast Off from the Beach: 2BR w/ Launch Views & Private Access!

Welcome to Canaveral Beachfront Villas—your peaceful escape on the Atlantic Ocean. Originally built in the 1950s by the Army Corps of Engineers, this newly remodeled two-story townhouse sits closer to the beach than neighboring homes, offering uninterrupted panoramic views of the ocean. With a private beach access just ten steps from your back door and views of the Kennedy Space Center’s launch pads from the upper deck, it’s a truly special place to stay.

This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhouse is perfect for families or friends looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway on Florida’s Space Coast. Decorated in cheerful seashell cottage décor, it features a glass-enclosed Florida Room, cozy common areas, and thoughtful amenities for comfort and convenience. The oceanfront master bedroom includes a king-size bed with a memory foam mattress, blackout shades, and a private deck with seating for four. The guest bedroom has a queen-size foam mattress bed, and all linens, towels and beach towels.

The full bathroom upstairs has a walk-in shower, and the first-floor half bath includes a washer and dryer for your use. We provide beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent (All Free & Clear), and dryer sheets. To start your stay, we also provide hospitality-sized soaps and basic essentials. Please feel free to bring or purchase your favorite full-size items during your stay.

The open kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and gathering, and the living area features a smart TV with cable and streaming access (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+), plus high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the home. Each bedroom also includes a wall-mounted flat-screen TV for quiet evenings.

Outdoor spaces include a private second-floor deck, a ground-level patio off the Florida Room, a front sitting area, and a shared outdoor shower to rinse off sandy feet. There’s a shared grill between the two townhouses and two dedicated parking spots for your unit.

We now offer a Tesla Wall Charger (installed October 2024), available for guest use only. Please share responsibly with the other townhouse guests on the property.

Canaveral Beachfront Villas is a rare gem: a 1.4-acre, oceanfront property with no public beach parking nearby, ensuring a peaceful and private experience. Whether you’re here for a beach vacation or to catch a rocket launch, this townhouse is a unique and unforgettable place to call home.

Looking for more space or traveling with a larger group? We have two townhouses available side by side! Renting both together is a great option for extended families or friends vacationing together. Please contact us for availability and details—we’d be happy to help you plan your perfect group getaway.

If you’re traveling with little ones or need beach equipment, we highly recommend these trusted local providers who deliver directly to the property:

Baby/Child Equipment: babysaway.com
Beach Gear & Surf Lessons: a1abeachrentals.com
Just mention you’re staying with Great Getaway Rentals for 10% off your entire order!

We are a dog-friendly property and welcome up to two well-behaved dogs under 60 lbs each (give or take a little). A pet fee applies to cover the extra cleaning required after each stay. Dogs must be house-trained, fully vaccinated, and treated for fleas/ticks. Please keep them off the beds and furniture, and always use a leash in outdoor areas. Sandy pups must be rinsed off at the outdoor wash area before entering the townhouse.

Please be aware that local regulations prohibit dogs on the beach during lifeguard hours unless they are service animals. Early mornings and evenings are a great time to walk your pup like a local!

Guests are responsible for bringing trash to the bins on the south side of the building throughout their stay. Trash is collected early Tuesday and Friday mornings—placing bins at the curb helps ensure timely pickup and a clean, pest-free environment.

To keep the plumbing in top shape, only flush provided Charmin toilet paper—nothing else, not even wipes labeled flushable. Guests are responsible for any clogs or damage caused by improper use. Yes, we’ve had to rescue plumbing from G.I. Joes, bows, hair ties, sand, and grease before—let’s not repeat history!

Please clean the grill after use, including the grease tray, and replace it with a new one from the storage area for the next guest’s enjoyment.

We’ve put these house rules in place to ensure that everyone has a fantastic vacation without surprises. Many of them come from real experiences and help us provide a stress-free stay for all our guests.

If you need anything during your stay, we’re just a call or message away and happy to help however we can. We want your time at Canaveral Beachfront Villas to be easy, relaxing, and memorable.

We can’t wait to welcome you to your beachfront retreat!

Amazing beach house getaway

This property had everything we needed and was exactly as expected! The house was clean, beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. Private access to the beach was extremely convenient. We were able to bring our doggies during our stay which made our getaway even better. We are already looking forward to our next stay! Thank you Erin and Bryan!

Wonderful Beachfront House

We really enjoyed our stay at the Flip Flop beach house! Everything was clean and appreciated how well stocked the whole house was; from the kitchen to plenty of towels and linens! The private beach access was so nice and convenient. We especially enjoyed the upper deck to watch the sunrise or settle in for the evening and just unwind. Thank you for allowing pets as our dog liked being outdoors with us and watching the birds fly over. We would definitely stay here again!

A really good time in a really nice place

We would have appreciated to have light outside when we arrived at 6pm. It was very dark and not easy to find without flashlight. That's it.. We really enjoy our stay. We hope we will be able to come Back. A big Thanks... Monique & Jean-Marie

Relaxing

Chose this place for relaxing right near the beach and ocean views, it did not disappoint!! The house was clean and well stocked with items. You can hear the neighbors in the other half of the duplex if they're noisy, but it was not a big issue for me. Would definitely come back again!

Restful and relaxing

We definitely enjoyed our stay and would come back again. The townhome was beachfront amongst many condo units, but it seems that we went at a good time because the beach was never crowded. The home was pretty well-stocked with disposable products like tp, paper towels, dish soap, laundry soap, and the like, as well as providing beach towels, bath towels and linens. The kitchen could use a few items like serving utensils and platters, and it seems that some of the silverware has run off, and maybe a big stock pot for shrimp boils and such, but basically everything else was there. The townhome is a duplex, so just beware that you can be heard through the walls. We were fortunate enough to have five days as the only occupants on the property! The description of the house stated that there were beach chairs, but I suspect that those got pretty beat up and were disposed of. So bring your own. Erin was a pleasure—I had the chance to briefly speak to her when she came by. She was making sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. I suspect that she is a very busy lady because it took a while for her to respond to my emails, but nothing was urgent and our trip was a good one. Once word of advice— you need to be mindful of your personal belongings outside which you might leave unattended. Remember it is a duplex so there will be other people sharing the outside space, or there might be a cleaning crew there cleaning the unoccupied unit. One awesome thing about the townhome is that you will have a fantastic view of the rocket launches from Cape Canaveral. We managed to see two of them in one day!

Great Family Vacation

My husband and I stayed here with our two kids (7 &10) and had a great time. Having private beach access was fantastic and the kids went out boogie boarding multiple times a day. The beach cart made it easy to get everything down the path to the beach and there was a whole tub of sand toys for the kids to play with. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful property in the perfect location

We really loved this property. The outdoor porch and upstairs deck were amazing and the beds were very comfortable. The house was very clean and very well furnished. The path to the beach is incredibly beautiful and of course the wave action at Cocoa is amazing if you surf! We hope to come back at some point as we felt that it was the most relaxing vacation that we have had in a while and worth every penny that we spent!
