The Space:
Step out onto the waterfront and feel the warm Florida breeze carrying the scent of saltwater from the Indian River Lagoon. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment sits at the meeting point of two worlds - the calm, glassy waters of the lagoon stretching behind you, and the Atlantic Ocean's white-sand beaches just a short walk ahead. Whether you're here for rocket launches, surf culture, or simply to slow down and watch the sun melt into the river each evening, this Cocoa Beach retreat puts it all within easy reach.
The space
The living area is built for comfort and ease, with a sectional sofa, flat-screen TV, and high-speed WiFi ready whenever you want to unwind. A dedicated workspace means you can stay connected if needed, and the ceiling fan keeps the Florida air moving through the room. Step outside to your private patio or backyard space - the Indian River Lagoon views are yours to enjoy any time of day, and sunsets here are something to plan your evening around.
Sleeping arrangements
The primary bedroom features a king bed dressed in cozy linens, while the guest room offers a queen bed with the same care and comfort. Both rooms are set up to sleep well, with extra pillows and blankets, hangers, and clothing storage available throughout. The apartment sleeps up to 4 guests comfortably.
Kitchen & dining
The fully equipped kitchen is stocked for everything from a quick morning coffee to a full sit-down meal. Granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances set the scene, and you'll find a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, toaster, baking sheet, wine glasses, and a complete set of dishes and cookware. Cooking basics - oil, salt, pepper, pots and pans - are all included. Pull up a chair at the dining table and enjoy your meal with lagoon views nearby.
Bathroom
The bathroom is well-stocked with shampoo, body soap, cleaning products, and a hair dryer, so you can pack light and settle in quickly.
Waterfront perks
Step outside to your private dock and take in the Indian River Lagoon in complete calm. Beach essentials - towels, umbrella, beach blanket, and snorkeling gear - are provided, making it easy to head to the Atlantic whenever the waves call. The BBQ grill is ready for an evening cookout, and free parking on premises means arriving and getting settled is straightforward from the moment you pull in.

Very good

The property was in good condition. Unit was mostly clean. Plenty of dishes and cooking utensils, Rey few spoons. Over all I would rent this unit again.
