Cocoa Beach Vacation Rental house

We flew in from Connecticut, Chicago, Washington D.C. and Wilmington, Delaware and Tim drove in from nearby Jupiter, for our first "blended family Christmas". The house was perfect, plenty of room for 7 adults and one little person, beautifully decorated, with wonderful amenities and a view to "knock your socks off"! We could see the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center - how cool is that?

We were spoiled with a huge bowl of fresh oranges and tangerines from our hosts' own trees. The electric juicer was put into action every morning. Fresh-squeezed juice and capuccino - yes, there was a capuccino machine, too. What a way to start the day!

We cooked in a lot and the kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed - and lots of extras: a nice selection of coffees and teas, plenty of spices.

We put the crank-out awning to work in the afternoons and sat out on the deck in the shade. The very private patio, with lounges, was used at siesta time.

Our 2-year old became a real water bunny and all the beach toys and chairs, were wonderful and kept him happy and kept mom and dad from having to purchase things that would then be left behind.

Michael bought a fishing pole and fished with a 6 foot blue heron at his side - the pictures we took from the deck are incredible.

We did some touristy things - it is a wonderful area with so much to do. We enjoyed it all, but our favorite thing was just relaxing and enjoying ourselves.

We did take an evening stroll in Coco Beach Village, very charming, and enjoyed an incredible al fresco dinner at Cafe Margo - lovely seafood, a great selection of wines and the service was exemplary.

We had the best time. We didn't miss the cold and snow at all! And we hope to go back again. We definitely gave this home and the holiday a "thumbs up". Thank you, Monique, for sharing your wonderful home with us.
