We had a great stay. The house was old but nice, we especially enjoyed the outdoor terrace. The location was great.
The pool could have been cleaner, it was fairly green. It was not a 5 min walk to the beach, more like 12-14 min and having to cross a busy street.

We had a great vacation, and I want to thank Adam for his help while we were there.
The location is great. You can walk to the beach, and access to the canal and Banana River is right out the back door! Everything you need is just minutes away, and the house is in a quiet neighborhood.
The house had everything we needed, and was plenty big enough for 6 people to share for the week. The pool was great, and we enjoyed the screened in porch area.
If you stay here, you need to take a paddle down the canal and check out the mangroves in the Banana River. The place is amazing! We saw dolphins, manatees, rays, and many different types of birds. The access to the Banana River is a super great perk, and you should not miss it if you're staying here.
We had an issue with the door lock one night, and I called Adam for help. I hated to bother him, but he was great. Very friendly, and he had his neighbor come and help us out. (His neighbor was great as well!)
My whole family agreed that this was the best VRBO we've stayed at in Florida, and we plan to come back.

Clean home with private pool, pier and yard. My 3 year old absolutely loved the pool and the teenagers loved fishing from the pier. Close to restaurants, fun activities, and the ocean. Watched rocket launches from backyard. Can't wait to return!!

Watching the dawn and sunset with the lovely canal in the foreground was a great way to begin and end the day. We frequently enjoyed the large screened back porch to have meals and play cards.
The furniture was quite dated and did cause some problems for folks with sore backs, particularly when watching tv.
The beach is really not an easy walk considering the four lane busy road to cross. Cocoa Beach does a great service by providing ample parking in the parks nearby. Thus, a very short drive gets you to the beach with all your gear.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely VRBO.

We love this location on the canal and close to public beaches. Our grandson loves to fish off of the dock and the pool is very nice. The house is just as described and clean. The host was very responsive when we needed him to resolve a problem.

We had a wonderful time. Adam was wonderful to work with and answered all my questions. The house was perfect for us. I know others complained about the temp only going down to 73. But there was no need to complain. The house stayed very cool for all of us and we only had it down to 74.
The bathrooms are a little dated but since we don't spend most of time in there we didn't care.
We got to see dolphins one day. And our new friend Sam (the heron) came to help my husband fish several different times.
The pool was a little dirty even after Adam called to have them stop in a few times for us that week. Which we were very thankful for.
Overall I say this is a perfect house for anyone wanting to spend time at home or going to the beach (which parking was right down the road).

Incredible Home
I was hoping to wait until the sting of having to leave wore off but it's going to take more time for that. Let me start by saying that Adam was very great to work with. When I had a question he was very quick to respond and was always polite, professional and courteous. Now the home, well the pictures don't really do it justice. It's very good sized but I will say there were only 3 of us which we generally only have 4 at the most. It's very clean and easy to get acclimated to. There's not an over abundance of complex tech or complicated appliances. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and although it's located directly off the A1A, traffic noise is minimal. It's also not far from Lori Wilson Park which is a very nice park and it has free parking with access to the beach.
Truly you are mostly centrally located to most anything you want to do for those of you who plan a lot of activities. If you don't do that sort of thing it's perfect for just enjoying your time and chillin' by the pooland or sitting on the dock watching the Banana River. Out of many of the places I have stayed over the years this home is my favorite. I'm only disappointed because it was time for my vacation to end.
Thank you, Adam for sharing your amazing home with my family and I.

The property is in an excellent location and is quiet.There is a good sized pool and good outlook onto canal with plenty of wildlife. We saw two dolphins which was a bonus.
Our only criticism is the bathrooms which are very dated particularly the ensuite to the master bedroom.The shower has little water pressure. The shower outlet is very low even with a cheap flexible attachment that has been installed. A complete new shower unit with rain head shower head and a separate shower head on a flexible hose which is the norm for other villas we have stayed at at this rental cost.This would give a very positive 5 stars but as it is hence the 4 star rating.

We enjoyed our stay in Cocoa Beach during the kids Spring Recess. The property checks all the boxes: clean and spacious with plenty of amenities - proximity to beach, pool, dock fishing. Plethora of dining options all within a short drive. Seeing a commercial rocket launch from the front lawn was exciting for all of us. Already trying to figure out when we can return.

The property itself is great. Very roomy and a great location. Close to the beach with that beautiful canal in the backyard to wake up every morning to. There are a couple of minor maintenance issues in the main bathroom but nothing to sweat about. Adam, the owner, was very easy to work with. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat (at the right price).

Nice roomy house..that could use some updates, like ceiling fans. Pool, canal & Florida room were awesome. More kid friendly dishes & cups (plastic) would've been nice. Getting to the beach in that traffic was a nightmare. Overall a good vacation

Perfect vacation home
We loved staying here, had everything we needed and we loved the pool and the dock fishing. My grandson lives to fish and he just caught so many and fell in love with howard the Blue heron that hangs around, occasionally throwing him a small fish for his dinner. We saw several dol;phins during the week also. We enjoyed the beach each day for a couple of hours either at the Lori Wilson Park entrance or drove down to the Allan Shephard park also, both are good with restrooms and showers. We definitly would stay here again

My husband and 2 kids under 12 really enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described. The house is bigger than it appears. We saw Dolphins several times, they swam right up to the dock. We caught several different kinds of fish. We are used to keeping our house at 69*, with them keeping it at 73* it’s actually cooler then we expected. No complaints.

We really enjoyed our stay at the house although it poured almost every afternoon/night. House is in a great location on intercoastal. It was clean but bathrooms are a bit dated and so are the TV's in bedrooms. We were bummed that the kayaks & bikes we're locked but in their defense it didn't state they were availability in listing. Saw 2 alligators in canal and various types and birds. Fun for all!

Overall we had a good time at 148 Jamaica. Everything was clean and tidy. We had plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and laundry supplies. The pool was nice although still a little chilly and we also enjoyed fishing off the dock. Only complaint is that the AC is set to not go below 76. We keep our home much cooler so when very warm outside, the house was warm as well and made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.

This house was perfect for our family. Adam was responsive and his "things to know" document was great to have at hand during our stay. It is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood as Adam states in the rental agreement and that was perfect for us as there was plenty of noise at all of our destinations during our trip. The pool was really an asset for our boys who would use it daily! Especially after coming back from Disney World where it was very hot all day.
The house also has a very nice stove for cooking, a large refrigerator, a nice living space and a screened in area overlooking the canal.

The location of this property was perfect for us: beautiful view of the intercoastal waterway, the pool was so much fun for our four young kids, we are less than two minutes’ drive from the beach, and the sand toys were a real help! For any grocery shopping, we were less than a mile from Publix, and could even walk there. Great restaurants and shopping right off the A1A. We loved the house and look forward to returning soon.
