Fun in the sun

We had a wonderful time at the Dolphin Den. Jacki was wonderful and helpful with directions to the river and beach. We enjoyed kayaking and seeing dolphins and manatee. The bikes were wonderful as we were able to ride to the coffee shop, and to the river in the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Across the street from a school feels very safe. Walking distance to place you can kayak with dolphins! Crazy. Also manitees. Couldn't believe it. Walking distance or bike to beach. Not crowded. Perfect for us looking for adventure. Host is amazing. Can't wait to come back.

Great weekend stay

The host, Janel, was great. So kind and informative. She told us about a rocket launch going on that we would have missed, and replied almost instantly any time I had a question. It was a short walk to the beach, and they provided very nice quality boogie boards which we used every single day. I have seriously no complaints with this place!

A Dolphin Den Delight!

My fiance (new since this trip!) and I stayed at the Dolphin Den for 3 nights, a small studio like apartment that was the perfect slow burn into our main vacation, a cruise! The Dolphin Den was exactly what we needed, a friendly and caring host, coffee, laundry, mini fridge, everything for a beach day, biking or kayaking on the canal! We walked to part of downtown cocoa and the beach on multiple occasions with the beach being 5-10 depending on traffic and restaurants, shops and ice cream 15-20. We really loved the Roku feature, we were able to enter our departure date, sign into whatever streaming service and it signed us out at our departure date! We happen to be cat people and found a very sweet neighborhood cat to spoil, a plus for us. If you are not a cat person no worries, the cat(s) lean more on the skiddish side so unless you lure them in they do not bother you. My fiance kept saying "I could totally live here!" the entire 3 day stay haha. We found the bedding to be very comfortable and relaxing. We would most definitely stay again!
