Best beach house!

We had the most amazing time staying here in cocoa beach. We stayed 4 nights and wished we could’ve stayed longer. The location is great, the beach is across the street and the fat snook next door is a must. Jen was very helpful and easy to get in touch with. We loved the putting green, corn hole and the indoor games room! We will definitely be back, thank you so much!

Great House! Great Location

My wife and I took our 2 teenage sons to Cocoa Beach for Spring break. The house was in a great location, close enough to all the attractions and fun of Cocoa Beach but just far enough away to be off the beaten path, house has everything you could need for a quality vacation, weather on the beach, Kayaking the river or just hanging out and having fun with the family! Highly recommend this location for you next Florida east coast trip!

Excellent Beach House

The hosts have thought of every detail. We had a wonderful time. Only concerns-We were unable to use the lagoon due to difficulties with access and there was no crosswalk from house to beach access so required extra caution to cross several lanes of traffic. Great value. Great location. Highly recommend for groups/families

Property that has it all!

Great location! Well equipped kitchen, great game room, spacious back porch, and private back yard. Quiet street, on one side walk to the river for sunsets or walk across the street for the sunrise on the beach. All comfortable beds with plenty of space. Kayaks, chairs, fishing poles/gear, boogie boards, etc. to keep busy. One of the best, well thought out vrbo’s for playing outside or inside on a rainy day!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Marks

Host profile image
Hi! We're a Florida-based family who absolutely loves hosting guests in beautiful Cocoa Beach. What started as one special home — Sunny Lane Beach House — quickly grew into a true passion for helping families and friends make lasting memories by the sea. We recently added our second property, Coral Palm Beach House, and we hope you love it just as much as we do!

We’re a family of five: one of our kids is a Marine Corps officer and pilot-in-training, another is a Gator at the University of Florida, and our youngest is in middle school. I’m a Florida native who’s called Orlando home since the '80s. While we love to travel and explore this incredible country, Florida — and Cocoa Beach in particular — will always have our hearts.

We can’t wait to share this slice of sunshine with you. Let us know how we can help make your stay unforgettable!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Very few properties are within walking distance of both the ocean and the river. This house is just steps from both, on the thinnest strip of land at the southernmost point of Cocoa Beach. Also, it's close to everything but on a quiet part of the beach, perfect for relaxing. The neighborhood is very quiet and small. We love that our guests can fish, kayak and go to the beach without having to get into the car.

What makes this property unique

Very short walk to both beach and river. Two King beds. Private putting green. Screened-in patio.
