“Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 10, 2012

Best little place in Cocoa / Melbourne area. Pet friendly, clean, charming & family owned. Very laid back and easy-going atmosphere provides a breath of fresh air in a world that goes too fast. This was our second stay here this summer for an impromptu weekend and we weren't disappointed. Close enough to go out to restaurants but capability to stay and enjoy the deck and grill out oceanfront. Love it, and can't wait to return.

Room Tip: If oceanfront is available, go for it.

“An oasis of calm and a glimpse of times gone by.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 15, 2012

Stopped off here some 10 years ago due to a bad storm and completely fell for the place. Since then my partner and I have come here every year, sometimes twice, and really enjoy the unpretentious, simple and straightforward style of the rooms, decks and beach. There are great waves and boogie boarding is just one of the of fun things to do. Gregg, the owner is extremely helpful and welcoming.

Surf studios is now just part of what we do. It is a an oasis of calm and a wonderful little glimpse of times gone by. We think it is great.

“Quiet, quaint, relaxing...perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 4, 2012

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights (wed-fri) before a cruise out of Port Canaveral. What a great hidden gem. The only place in Cocoa Beach with a perfect rating on TA...and they deserve it!

Quiet, family & pet friendly. A bit dated, but adds to the charm. Not a 5 star popular hotel with full amenities, but thats not what we wanted. Has the essential amenities and is walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Short drive to the crowded cocoa beach area and port canaveral.

Walks along the beach at any point in the day and you'll see maybe 20 people within a mile or so either way. (maybe weekends and mid summer are more crowded but doubt it).

Has the "old" florida charm which is lovely :-)

Cant wait to tell friends and family about this hidden treasure and will be back again!

“Old school motel on the beach.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2012

This place is a lovely old homey family-run motel in the traditional Florida style. We (my husband, 10 year old boy and myself) all loved it. We used it as our base for going up to Kennedy Space Center and checking out Cocoa Beach. We had the rooms closest to the office and away from the beach, but it was great and a really good price and value.

Nothing 5 star-but great digs for laid-back folks.

Room Tip: Units closer to the beach probably cost more; choose based on whether you're more interested in...

“Best place to relax in Cocoa Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2012

This is the only place I would consider staying when in Cocoa Beach. Woderful and quiet atmosphere with a great staff and beach. If you are looking to get away from the crowds while in central Florida this is the place to go. Beautiful pool and wooden sun deck overlook the beach with hammocks in between the palm trees. Doesn't get any better than that.

Room Tip: Families might consider the effiency suites closest to the beach with bedroom and full kitchen.
