The house was great with an outstanding kitchen and dining area. We enjoyed using the outdoor space and pool very much. It had a great location near the beach, where we were able to catch a morning launch on our last morning. Our only regret was the trip was too short. We'd definitely stay here again!

Perfect Beach Getaway!

The house was amazing. Very clean and welcoming. The host was very responsive and considerate. The river view brought dolphins by every morning and the water glows at night. Everything you need is within walking distance. My 3 teens said it was the best house we’ve ever rented. 10/10!!!

Great proximity to beach

This property is a close, easy walk to the beach. Host has many little touches which makes the property very homey. There were floaties, sand toys, beach chairs, etc in the shed. This was awesome! We had plenty of space in the home as well. It was much appreciated that soaps and such were provided. Thank you for adding all of those little touches! We enjoyed our stay very much.

We LOVED staying here! This was an amazing home and perfect location! We loved Cocoa Beach! It was not super touristy and crowded! The house was a great experience in itself! Just from our dock, we saw manatee under our dock, a dolphin swim right under us, and to top it off bioluminescent water at night! There are paddle boards that we used to explore the river and the bioluminescence made it even better at night!! The house was clean and very comfortable. Stephanie was an amazing communicator and provided anything we needed for the trip! The pool was a bonus and the shed had everything we needed for the beach: wagon, tent, toys, chairs, etc…Don’t hesitate! Book it!!!

Wonderful home, great location

Beautiful home in a beautiful location. The house was comfortable and very clean, and the pool was perfect for cooling off and enjoying the views. Paddle boards were a huge hit and led to a dolphin sighting. Very close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Stephanie was an awesome host with excellent communication--she was so helpful. The area is lovely--quiet and felt very safe. We hated to leave and would love to go back!

Fantastic Property

Absolutely loved our stay here.After a busy week exploring the Disney parks, we headed to Boaters Dream for a few days relaxation. From the start Stephanie was very helpful and prompt in replying to any questions we had.The property was clean and everything in good working order. As others have said, the photo's do not do it justice. There were plenty of "toys" for us to use such as paddleboards, plenty of pool toys, fishing rods, bikes etc. The heated pool was lovely and we spent a lot of time in it.Good location too - we could walk into Cocoa Beach for dinner and it was only a 35 min drive to Kennedy Space Centre.Even saw some dolphins swimming along from the deck.I would love to stay here again if in the area, and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Great view of the river, close to beach and town

Comfortable stay near downtown shops, restaurants and the beach. Beds are comfortable and home is bright. Kitchen has all the basics and several extras. Open floor plan gives the house a roomy feel. Covered outdoor area for dining, relaxing and watching the sun set over the river. Pool felt chilly and did not seem heated to me. I used the bike to commute around town. Beach chairs and towels provided. Great spot to watch rockets launch right from the back yard. Host was responsive.

Amazing house in the perfect location

This home is just as it appears - open, clean, and well stocked. The pool and dock are wonderful - we had dolphin swim right by the dock while we were there. It’s less than a half mile walk straight down to the beach and you pass the downtown area on your way. There is a country club and outdoor lap pool a mile and half down the road in the opposite direction. Very convenient, quiet neighborhood and the hosts were great to work with. We would absolutely stay here again.
