This isn’t my first rental on VRBO. So, I feel that I’ve seen some good and some...not so good. I came with my husband and 3 children.
On arrival, the place was clean. The kitchen is pretty stocked with what you need if you will be cooking. There are two beach chairs, an umbrella (we brought our own beach tent), some sand toys and boogie boards which we added to. The waves were fun!
There are two updated bathrooms with showers and the pressure is pretty good. Towels are ok...and there are a lot of them. Lots of beach towels too. The beds….well, it’s not the Westin. Even my sons (18 and 14) complained of their beds being uncomfortable, and the beds are SMALL. The picture looks like two full beds (the ad might even say that) but they are single beds. The sofa bed, if you intend to use it, is awful. AWFUL. I relied on this for another bed and that was a mistake. The master bedroom has a King bed with very outdated bedding. Lots of drawer space and a big closet in master. Balcony, of course with glass windows and chairs/tables was by far the best feature. I lived out there...until (see below)
There is a washer and dryer in the unit which was GREAT. Beach was never that crowded. Cocoa Beach Pier is about a mile or so walk and that is crowded. Long walk for my young one.
Here’s the thing about the condo though….and the unit. It does have a wonderful view but you are RIGHT above the grassy land that people use to grill and hang out as well as right above the pool. It is loud...very loud... and the pool is open until 10. So, that kind of ruins your peaceful sits out on the balcony looking at the beautiful ocean in the evening. If you want peace with your spouse or significant other...NOT the place to stay. It’s not luxury or romantic. Again, not the owners fault but something the renter should know. Luck of the draw who stays at the same time as you. We weren't lucky.
About an hour drive to Orlando if you want to go to other parks. Shopping is 5 minutes away. Lots of restaurant choices. If you don’t have a car, that could be a problem. Won't be returning.
