Beach Escape: Pool, Tennis & Private Beach Access
Transform your dream beach vacation into reality at our renovated condo in Cocoa Beach`s iconic Diplomat Beach Resort. Soak up the sun on our private beach, cool off in the heated pool, or play pickleball, tennis & shuffleboard on-site. Walk to restaurants, shops & Publix. Just 30 min to Kennedy Space Center (watch rockets launch from the beach!) and an hour to Disney & Universal. Beach chairs, towels, games & a full kitchen — everything your family needs for the perfect summer escape.
YOUR BEACH & RESORT PLAYGROUND The Diplomat is a Cocoa Beach institution with a rich history and genuinely resort-like amenities. Cool off in the meticulously maintained heated pool, challenge the family to pickleball or tennis, settle a score on the bocce ball or shuffleboard courts — then stroll down the private boardwalk to the beach and rinse off at the outdoor shower. Everything you need for the perfect beach day is right outside your door.
A LOCATION THAT HAS IT ALL You`re in the heart of Cocoa Beach — walk to Publix, mini golf, restaurants, bars, and the beach without ever starting the car. A quick 5-minute drive puts you at Cocoa Beach Pier and Ron Jon`s Surf Shop. Just 30 minutes to Kennedy Space Center (and yes, you can watch rocket launches right from the beach!). When the family is ready for a theme park day, Disney and Universal are about an hour away — making this the ideal home base for the ultimate Florida summer trip.
YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME Tucked into a quiet second-story corner, this beautifully renovated condo is soundproofed with insulated storm windows — so your space stays peaceful even when the kids are ready to bounce off the walls. The living room is built for family downtime: sink into the oversized couch and fire up the 65` TV with cable and Roku for movie nights after long beach days. The master bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, a 50` TV, a full bedroom set and easy chair — your retreat when the little ones finally crash. The second bedroom has a full-size bed, perfect for kids or a travel companion.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED — NOTHING YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT Skip the overpriced boardwalk breakfast — make pancakes in your pajamas in the fully equipped kitchen with pots, pans, blender, dishwasher, ice maker, and all the basics. Morning coffee is handled with the Keurig — take it out to the balcony and watch the sunrise launches. We`ve packed in all the beach essentials too: chairs, towels, a cooler bag, kids games, beach toys, and books. There`s even a washer and dryer in the unit so you can pack half the suitcase you normally would. Just show up and enjoy — we`ve thought of everything so you don`t have to think — you`re on vacation!
FULL ACCESS & EASY ARRIVAL You`ll have full access to everything — the condo, all resort amenities, and the grounds. That means the heated pool, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce ball, shuffleboard, and the private beach entrance with boardwalk and rinse shower are all yours for the duration of your stay. Free parking is available on-site, and check-in is a breeze with our self-service keypad — no awkward key exchanges or waiting around. Just arrive, punch in your code, and start your vacation.
YOUR VIRTUAL CONCIERGE We`re local owners who love this area and we`re here to make your trip incredible. Think of us as your virtual concierge — text us anytime and we`ll point you to the best family-friendly restaurants, help you time a rocket launch from the beach, find surf lessons for the kids, book a bioluminescence kayak tour, or plan your day at Kennedy Space Center or the Orlando parks. We respond within minutes and we genuinely care about making sure your family has the best vacation possible. Don`t just take our word for it — check our reviews.
EXPLORE THE SPACE COAST You`re in the heart of Cocoa Beach on Florida`s Space Coast — one of the most unique beach towns in the country. This isn`t just a pretty beach (though it`s definitely that). This is a place where you can watch a SpaceX rocket light up the sky, kayak through bioluminescent waters that glow beneath your paddle, and spot sea turtles nesting on the shore — all in the same week. For families, the options are endless. Book a surf lesson for the kids — this is the Surfing Capital of the East Coast. Take a dolphin and manatee tour on the Banana River. Explore the Dinosaur Store & Museum, Brevard Zoo, or Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventures. Catch a show at the Cocoa Village Playhouse or spend a rainy afternoon at the Exploration Tower in Port Canaveral. Kennedy Space Center is just 30 minutes north — an absolute must for families. Tour the launch pads, meet an astronaut, see the Space Shuttle Atlantis up close, and experience the Shuttle Launch simulator. And with SpaceX and NASA launching rockets almost weekly from Cape Canaveral, there`s a real chance you`ll see one from the beach during your stay. When you`re ready for a theme park day, Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld are all about an hour`s drive. This is the closest beach to Walt Disney World — so you can do both without choosing. Summer is peak season here for a reason. The water is warm, the bioluminescence peaks in July and August, sea turtles are nesting, and the town comes alive with surf competitions, air shows, and Friday night festivals. There`s truly no better place for a family summer vacation in Florida.
GETTING AROUND Free parking on-site. The condo is centrally located in Cocoa Beach and incredibly walkable — Publix, restaurants, mini golf, and bars are all a short stroll away. The beach and pool are less than 100 feet from your door. Most days you won`t even need your car. When you do, Cocoa Beach Pier and Ron Jon`s are a 5-minute drive, Kennedy Space Center is 30 minutes, and Disney and Universal are about an hour.
