Area Information
Cape Canaveral is a great little town. Our Cozy Condo is located across from a public park and just down the street from the public library.
It is walking distance to some fun family owned restaurants and minutes by car to the nearest grocery store and souvenir shopping.
You can even bring a bicycle for getting around town or riding on the beach.
Attractions Within Walking Distance
Cape Canaveral Beach -- Direct access down the street or if you prefer a public park with showers, we are located between Jetty Park and Cherry Down Park.
Favorite Places To Eat
Roberto's Little Havana - Cuban food - make sure you get the black beans and yellow rice as the side dishes. One of our favorite dishes is the pan fried Snapper (just be ready to pick out the bones as it comes with head on) -- a bit of a drive - in South Cocoa Beach, but worth the drive.
Pacific Rim - great for Sushi - also has Thai food - In Merritt Island - on Courtenay Parkway. Dine in or carry out.

Nice neighborhood for walking or biking. The pool area is surrounded by a tall wall, so there is lots of privacy that is not as common on other rental units in the area.

About the owner: We, Tinho and Susie - moved to the Spacecoast in 1984 and have always lived on Merritt Island. We moved from Northern Viriginia to follow our dream of owning a Watersports business and traveled all along the East Coast looking for the perfect destination.
We own Calema Windsurfing & Watersports - located inside Kelly Park - in Merritt Island and offer Instruction, Rentals and a Pro-shop for Windsurfing, Sailing, Kayaking and Stand-up Paddling.
Come and enjoy the beauty of our area from the water!
Why this property? We purchased this condo in 2002 and fell in love with many of its features. The pool area is nice and private, surrounded by a privacy wall.
The 2nd story corner location gives more privacy as the windows are on the outside wall, so you can enjoy lots of light without anyone seeing in or walking by. Being located in a residential area, there are more houses, which adds to its charm.
21 years later and we still love our 'Cozy Condo in Cape Canaveral'.

Brenda M.Perfect studio apartment, minutes away from the beach, pickleball courts and cyling
We found this studio apartment met all our needs and was very affordable. The beach is down the street as are the pickleball courts. Bring your bikes and cycle every day or enjoy great daily walks. Susie and her husband are friendly and available if you have any needs. We highly recommend this rental!

Owner response
Thank you for the review, Brenda. I really enjoyed getting to know you and your sister during your stay. Would love to have you come back and have 'Cozy Casa' as your winter retreat anytime. Wishing you the best, Susie
Ron R.Quiet Retreat
If your looking for a quiet retreat away from the crowds and traffic of Cocoa Beach yet still being within easy driving distance this is your place. The apartment is large, comfortable and quiet. The screened in porch catches the afternoon sun and is a great place to read and have an afternoon cocktail. The apartment was well appointed with enough of everything to be comfortable. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and my wife loved the bathtub. It's about a 15 minute drive to the beaches and a 10 minute drive to the nearest Publix. The drive to and from the apartment was always entertaining because of the variety of birds and animals we saw (otters, alligators and wild pigs). Susie and her husband are great. They were helpful and informative as well as being delightful to talk with. For example, our TV stopped working shortly after we got there and Susie had a new one for us the next day. We enjoyed our 3 months and we would return.
