Stay was great

The house is adorable! It was immaculate and comfortable. The location is good, there's a Wal Mart and restaurants in the area. The neighborhood was very quiet.

July bioluminescence trip

Very conveniently located to Cocoa Beach and the places we did bioluminescence kayaking. Three couples stayed in the place very comfortably. Had a little trouble with some housekeeping stuff when we first checked in but the property manager came over immediately and took care of it.
