Perfect for that 3-month Internship - Nautical "Cottage" near the ocean
Thanks for taking the time to scroll all the way down the listings. This is one of the best kept secrets on the beach. We'd love to have you stay with us! This charming place has the feel of a 'Beach Cottage' even though it is not directly on the Beach. Vinyl wood floors withstand the ocean and sand, and the warm, nautical touches lets you know you're at the beach. Ocean sunrise colors of blues and gold and reds welcome you to a new day and the sound of the ocean will lull you to sleep at night.
This apartment is located on the first floor of a lovingly renovated older home in a quiet residential neighborhood. Beach access is right outside your front door - just cross the street and you'll see it! Have your morning coffee at the table and chairs on the terrace by your entrance. Read the paper and enjoy the people going by - walking, jogging, or riding bicycles. The City of Cape Canaveral has put in a bike path that runs right in front of our place and is shared by the pedestrian sidewalk. You will also see many people walking their dogs as the neighborhood is very pet friendly. Our guests tell us they love the cleanliness and privacy along with the quietness of the area. We also accmodate many "work" at home people and student interns for the many Space Agencies. Our WiFi is private and secure for that reason.

Was there during Milton. Moderate flooding on street in front of unit that dissapated that same day.No issues inside. Excellent location within short walk to beach. Place is as described . Excellent value and everything worked as it should. Would stay again
A very relaxing vacation. The location was close to everything. The beach was one block away. The apartment was cozy, clean and comfortable. It is in an active but quiet area. I plan to go back.

Awesome Little Getaway!!
Fantastic place! My daughter and I live in Orlando (since 1999) and we finally found that "Cute home away from home" place on the beach! It may of taken us awhile but it was worth the wait. Nice, clean, comfortable with lots of extras! You are close to everything. We are already trying to plan our next trip.

Our Stay!
My husband and I just had a visit to Cape Canaverial, Kathy and Scott may it so nice,I will come back. We rode our bikes everywhere so easily done, no bother with traffic,bike routes everywhere. Very short walk to beach, we had perfect weather. Kathy and Scott made our stay so homey. We didn`t need for anything..thanks and hope to see you again soon!!!!!
This was a very clean place and close to the beach which were my top priorities. The property itself is a little crowded with decor and extensive kitchenware which made it challenging at times to make the space your own with your own belongings food etc. Air-conditioning window unit was loud and slightly challenged by the Florida summer. The Owners were very kind when they greeted us and customized the coffee to your preferences. Overall a pretty good stay.

Great Villa Getaway! Close to the Beach!
This little villa was perfect for our little weekend getaway! It was close to everything we needed. It was so close to the beach that it was no problem loading up my chairs and beach bag and walk across the street to the beach access. So close I could run up to use the bathroom whenever I needed! Just minutes from the Port where we dined each night! Loved going to Jetty park to see the cruise ships set sail, it was just a few minutes away! The villa was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed as well as all the personal touches like shampoo, lotion, toothbrushes. Kathy the owner even left keylime bread out for us!!! Very nice jesture. I loved the bicycles and took a nice ride in the evenings. My little schnauzer loved the place and was comfortable too. We felt safe taking walks at night. We hope we get to go back to visit again! Perfect Location! Thanks Kathy!

Simply perfection
Kathy was a wonderful host! The property to start was in an excellent location with a very brief walk to the beach. The condo itself was inviting, very clean, fully furnished (decor and all) and felt like a “home away from home”! We were delighted to find a little care package of goodies awaiting us, a entire binder filled to the brim with things to do and pamphlets from local restaurants, and to top it all off she had all the toiletries one might need (or forget)! While she was out of the area for the duration of our stay, she made it a point to check up on things every now and then. We had 0 issues with our stay. Period. Kathy was very helpful, friendly and due to our strange schedules with a late flight in, willing to accommodate our check-in time with astounding flexibility.
Short story: I highly recommend this property and hostess! The location was perfect, house immaculate and that price is hard to beat!!! She’ll be receiving our business again :)
I had a wonderful month stay here! Kathy was very accommodating and helpful in communicating even before my arrival. The place had all of the items you may have forgotten and all kitchen appliances. It was steps away from the beach - the location could not be better! The neighborhood is great for walking or riding bikes. I cannot say enough on how helpful Kathy and Scott were! I hope to be back one day!!
There are not enough kind words that I can say about the owners. I have never had a better experience renting anywhere! They personally show you around, leave you welcome gifts, respond promptly to any questions you might have, offer all those little extras that are usually forgotten on a trip and are the sweetest, kindest and overall excellent hosts!!!
As for the house.....amazing little coastal getaway just steps from the beach in a quiet neighborhood but conveniently located close enough to so many shops and restaurants. The owners also provide beach accessories, toys, bikes and so much more! I promise, you will not regret staying here and want to come back time and time again!
Cozy, comfortable, adorable place to stay close to the ocean!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay so much. The property was clean, well maintained and had anything you could possible need for a beach vacation. Super location! The owners were so helpful and made a point to see that we had whatever was needed to enjoy our stay there. Thank you to them for making our time away so nice. We hope to be back soon!
All was good to go. Writing this for my daughter. She is ready to move here now. Enjoyed the rental and the area.

Charming and Lovely
This is such a charming and relaxing place. The owner goes out of her way to create a little oasis away from home. Kathy is very warm and gracious host. This place is a gem, just steps away from the beach.

Clean, comfortable, close to anything you need!
Beach cottage vibe. Clean and comfortable. Very close to restaurants, groceries, Kennedy Space Center. Only a 5 minute walk to the beach! Stocked with basic condiments, spices and snacks, and if you forgot anything there’s a good chance you’ll find any toiletries you need in the bathroom. Great communication from Kathy the owner. Pets are considered and we were able to bring our cat. We really enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend!

Perfect beachside rental!
My husband and I had a wonderful week here in April. Kathy was amazing to deal with and had great communication. The beach bungalow was adorably decorated and was so close to the beach! I loved that the place was fully stocked with toiletries and some food items. I would definitely recommend this place and stay here again! Thank you Kathy and Scott!!!

Cute, Easily-Accessible Beach House
Wonderful beach house for what I needed (long term rental). The apartment was filled with all sorts of creature comforts, and things a traveler might forget to pack. The cleanliness and details really made this place stand out. I had colleagues of mine staying at other places near by, and they weren't nearly as well-kept. Kathy was extremely responsive, and made sure that I had everything I needed. All of my family was jealous of how close I was to the beach (I could see it from the front door, and I didn't even have to squint!). I would definitely recommend to singles or couples traveling/need a beach getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy
My husband and I are 'semi-natives' to Florida having left the cold of New Hampshire and Western New York over 30 years ago. We'd love to know where you're from too. When you inquire, please tell us a little bit about yourselves and why you're interested in visiting us in Cape Canaveral.
Why they chose this property
We live and work in Orlando and found ourselves heading to the beach when ever we could. It just made more sense to buy this lovely old home then to pay for Hotel rooms. The place has 4 Units and we kept one for ourselves. The other 3 are vacation rentals so more people can enjoy what we do. We have installed hurricane proof windows and doors which keep the AC in and the noise out. The building is on a slight hill so we have not had any problems with the water rising to the building when it rains.
What makes this property unique
We love the charm of this older building surrounded by Palm trees on the corner of the beach access road. 300 steps and you're at the beach. It is a quiet neighborhood with a relaxing feeling. There are no Hotels or bars to attract a noisie crowd. The noises you will probably hear the most are the rocket launches which happen at least twice a week. You have a great view from the beach looking north to see them. We take care of the property ourselves so you will always know that from the friendly welcome to the personal touches that we are happy that you chose to stay here.
