Contemporary, Beautiful Cottage in the Heart of Downtown, One Block to the Beach

Enjoy a fabulous downtown location on cottage row with this exquisite 4 bedroom, 2 bath cottage within walking distance to all the great restaurants, live music and entertainment, shopping ~ and of course the beach which is only a block away.

The cottage comes with a large deck for outdoor dining or just relaxing while enjoying an ocean breeze. The fourth bedroom is in an attached studio with a kitchenette and its own living area, making it the perfect spot for extended families, friends traveling together, or that little extra privacy while on vacation with your teenage children. It’s also the perfect spot for couples to enjoy an elegant and relaxed vacation.

You'll have everything you need at the Blue Wave Beach Cottage, including a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living area with a fireplace, four televisions with cable, wifi, linens, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella, boogie boards, two outdoor showers, and more. There's a desk for work or homework in the main cottage, and the studio can be used as a quite work space away from the bustle of vacationing family. The cottage comes with a large private parking area big enough for four cars, an RV or boat.

The location provides quick and easy access to Port Canaveral, historic downtown Cocoa Village, Kennedy Space Center, the USSSA Space Coast Complex, and theme parks in the Orlando area. And, of course, beautiful Cocoa Beach is only a block away!

The Space Coast has been named one of the top 25 international destinations to travel to in 2025 by Conde Nast Traveler! Whether you're looking to unwind, explore the local sights, or create lasting memories with loved ones, this Cocoa Beach cottage has everything you need for an unforgettable vacation. Book your stay today and get ready to experience the best of coastal living!

Wonderful!
The location of this property is excellent - close to the beach and many restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. The layout of the property was perfect for visiting family with the attached studio. Nancy was very helpful and ensured we had everything that we needed for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful cottage and location!
The cottage was great for a family of five adults and two toddlers. The back deck was a perfect play area for the little ones. Nancy went above and beyond to make sure everything was available (crib, high chair) upon arrival. The house was clean and stocked with everything needed. The location was great - close walking distance to beach and great restaurants. Even got to see a couple of rockets from the deck. Thank you Nancy!!

Perfect spot for winter get a way
2 couples shared this property for 4 weeks in n feb/march. Cannot say enough positive things about this experience. Nancy, the property manager went above our expectations in ensuring our stay was the best it could be. Always answering questions of suggestions for biking trails, restaurants, local events happening etc. property was perfect for us, allowing privacy if desired and a huge deck which were on for most of our meals as well as a great place for reading. We highly recommend this property.

Amazing week at the Blue Wave Cottage
Great house for my husband and I , our two daughters and son in laws, grandbaby and my dad! Plenty of space and host has thought of everything! Awesome deck to hang out and a super short walk to the beach and several restaurants and coffee shops are also within an easy walk. Host has plenty of extra towels, beach umbrellas, a great setup with a kitchen and kitchenette- the studio was great for grandbaby and parents While there we were able to see a launch from the deck and a boat parade out the front door ! Host kept us very informed of all events going on! Would definitely go back!!

Flight cancelled - Nancy awesome
We could only rate two of the categories due to flight cancellations. Communication with property manager and overall rating. Nancy went above and beyond to work with us if we were able to travel from Indiana. Can't say enough about the hospitality experience we received via text and phone. Hopefully we can plan a trip during the year! Thanks again Nancy!

Spectacular Beach Cottage
My family stayed at this cottage in early August 2023. Nancy was a fantastic host and not only would we recommend this cottage, but if we ever come back to Cocoa Beach we will stay here again. Nancy was very communicative throughout the process. A week before our trip she reached out to me and gave me directions about check in and how to get to the cottage. The house is a cute 1930s era beach bungalow and it was spotless on arrival. Nancy provided some snacks, coffee, and wine which was perfect after our long trip. It is located a block off the beach and within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Next door there is a breakfast restaurant that came highly recommended by a friend (we highly recommend it!). The kitchen had everything that we needed for nights we decided to cook in. On those nights, we would cook dinner and eat outside on the back porch. Even though it was August, the heat was bearable in the evening because of the breeze you get off of the ocean, and there were no bugs that bothered us. After dinner we would walk to Oasis for shaved ice or the Fat Donkey for ice cream. We also ate out several nights (always walked). There were 2 rocket launches during our stay which you can see from a short walk to the beach. We also took surfing lessons from Ron Jon Surf School (15 min drive), and obviously, went to the beach most days. I would highly recommend this cottage to Cocoa Beach vacationers. It exceeded our expectations for a family of 5.

Amazing location, host and experience! Stay HERE!
Not enough room to share what an amazingly perfect property the Blue Wave Cottage is. The host, Nancy was in constant contact (even right before the hurricane!!), was a delight to work with, very generous and so personable. The cottage is exactly as advertised, spotlessly clean and well stocked, located in a perfect location to beach and town. When we return to Cocoa Beach, this is our go-to! Highly recommend!!

Great place to stay before our cruise
We loved our stay at Nancy’s house before our cruise out of Port Canaveral! The house was clean and well stocked. Nancy has special little extras that made the stay even better. From the snacks and wine to coffee filters and toilet paper when we checked in. The house is also in a great location, easy walk to the beach and close to many great restaurants. Nancy was also very responsive when I had a question and she made sure we knew she was available for any questions or suggestions. If we are ever in Cocoa Beach again we will make sure to stay at this house!!!

We stayed at this property with family. Nancy made check in easy & answered all questions we had.
Nancy was awesome. She had a bottle of wine and snacks waiting for us when we arrived at 8pm. The house was stocked with all necessities we needed while away from home. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Walking distance to the beautiful ocean. Within a mile or so you have gas, grocery, resturants of all kinds. Our son got married at the Hilton which was like 2 miles away. We would definitely stay at this property again. Thanks for everything Nancy.

Awesome Amenities and Location
Nancy was fantastic and thought of everything. Our flight got in late, she had left the exterior lights on and their was coffee ready for the morning so we didn't have to run to the grocery store. The location is easily accessible to local restaurants and shops and just a short walk to the beach. I would stay again and definitely would recommend her to family and friends!

Wonderful family vacation
This cottage was in a great location, very clean with everything you need if flying in, and the host was more than kind and helpful. Our son, his wife, and baby were able to use the studio which was perfect. They had some privacy but were with us in the same house. The beach is a short, easy walk, restaurants and things to do are plentiful, and the large deck made even more space. We had a great time in the Blue Wave Beach Cottage.

Great as always!
This was our 2nd time staying at Nancy's property, this time with the entire family. We all love the house and location and you couldn't ask for a better host than Nancy! The first time we stayed my daughter forgot and left a hoody and Nancy mailed it back to us (along with several other goodies). The restaurant next door (20 steps away) is wonderful but beware the portions are huge! Nielson surf shop is a few doors down and Noah is a great instructor who we have also used twice. The beach is a short 5 minute walk away and this trip we were lucky enough to see a Space-X sunset launch from the beach. I can't say enough good things about this property and owner, by far the best VRBO experience I have ever had all over the country!
