If you're the type of vacationer who wants to try something new, do yourself a favor and book a stay at Beach Place Guesthouses! The small property is such a breath of fresh air compared to traditional hotels. The rooms are cozy, yet comfortable with a full kitchen and living space - great for a few days away with your partner, bestie, or even a small group of friends. The guesthouses give the feel of a 1990s beach house (which I happen to be very nostalgic for), so if you're looking for something super modern, this isn't the place for you.
When we arrived about 2.5 hours before check-in, MaryLynn happily greeted us and was able to get us in a room within minutes. What was especially nice, though, was the fact that she gave us a short tour of the property to point out the cool art pieces and let us know what we had access to during our stay. She clearly loves her job and making guests feel at home. You don't get that kind of service at a big name hotel.
The property itself is located right on the beach and offers a variety of different room options, including several oceanfront rooms. As a guest, you have access to a beautiful patio area with lounge chairs, hammocks, grills, and a fire pit with all the fixin's you need; there are beautiful lights hung up on the patio that provide a romantic feel in the evenings. You are also steps away from a private beach entrance and have access to beach accessories (chairs, boogie boards, etc.). The beach itself is gorgeous and QUIET - something you don't always get in a touristy area. It was a fantastic place to relax! The property as a whole was quiet and felt very safe. It's a great place to watch launches from the Kennedy Space Center (2 happened during our visit). While about 2 miles away from the "downtown" area of Cocoa Beach, it was not a hassle at all to make the short drive to restaurants, bars, and other attractions.
