June 2024 - Family of six from Colorado. Thank you for welcoming us like family and opening up this lovely home. Nice and quiet, a lovely short walk to the beach. It was good to have a relatively "down" weekend before our cruise and Disney Vacation. Next time, maybe we will book for after Disney to wind down and relax before heading back to the real world. Getting to see the night SPACEX Falcon 9 launch from the beach was a highlight for us!.
May 2024 - Family of three from Illinois. We loved our stay and the local area. Your home was welcoming and cozy. The patio was perfect for early morning coffee. We also enjoyed access to beach gear. It was great not having to pack every little thing. The short walk to the beach was fantastic! We also booked and loved doing a kayak tour with A Day Away kayaking. Pier 62 was our go-to for food and cocktails. We are already discussing booking a return visit next year.
January/February 2024 - Family of four from Tennessee. We are grateful for the week we were blessed to come and stay here. The home is lovely. Very well stocked, clean, nice rugs on the tile floor. Kitchen and coffee maker are excellent. Bedrooms and mattresses are so comfy. Oh, now onto the yard....it is like a private tropical garden. We were out there almost everyday. So much peace and beauty. We grilled twice which was so nice. We saw two SPACECX launches. Magnificent! The beach is SO CLOSE! We enjoyed the beach several days.. Sun and sand were warm. We felt safe here and that is a super plus for us! We enjoyed the use of the washer and dryer. Neighbors are quiet, air is clean. We hope to come again next year!! Such a special home grown place!
January 2024 - Family of five from Tampa, Florida. Thankyou so much for letting us stay in your home. It was very comfortable and it was in an amazing location to visit the beach, Kennedy Space Center, and the Brevard County Zoo. Thankyou for informing us about the Falcon 9 rocket launch. Without that information, we would not have been able to see the launch.
November 2023 - Family of five from Seattle, Washington. Your house was just what we needed. It felt cozy and welcoming during our visit, which was filled with lovely memories. We went to the beach and our kids will never forget it! They had so much fun! We loved that everyone got their own rooms (especially the twin beds for our twin six year olds) and everything we needed was already in the house! We spent an entire day at the Kennedy Space Center and our kids had an absolute blast. Highly recommend! Thank you for being wonderful hosts and sharing your home with us, and making our stay unforgettable.

Family memories were made and for that we thank you.
June 2023 - Family of four from Pittsburgh, PA. Thankyou for the wonderful stay. Really felt like home. We enjoyed watching the SPACEX Launch. Pizza was great. Walk to the beach is perfect!

Location, hospitality, comfort
Dan and Lila were wonderful hosts. They have a beautiful home in the perfect location. The beach is in walking distance and the home has so many beach materials that we packed in the wagon and enjoyed using especially the beach toys for our children. There are family fun parks (Golf and Gator, Ziplining) within walking distance as well. Forgot something? If it is not already stocked at the home, shopping centers are less than a mile away. You can’t go wrong with this vacation home. We felt very welcomed by Mr. Dan and Mrs. Lila. We will definitely be coming back for another stay.

Great vacation rental!
It was our second stay at this vacation rental and again we enjoyed every minute. The house is very clean and beautifully decorated and there is everything you need for a vacation close to the beach. The kitchen is very well stocked with every appliance you can think of. Having the beach cart, chairs, bodyboards and other beach equipment available made the trips to the beach very comfortable and enjoyable. The owners met us personally on our arrival and showed us the house and explained everything which was very helpful. We highly recommend this vacation rental and would love to stay there again on our next trip to the Space Coast!

Home Away from Home
Our family was welcomed by Dan and Lila as if we were their family. Everything in the house was thoroughly explained during our personal tour. We were given plenty of tips about the area, including updates on a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch, which was a highlight for some of us. The beach is a short walk and tons of beach equipment was available to use. A great place to stay.

I would definitely recommend this home to anyone. The hosts met us at the property for a quick tour and keys. The home was well stocked and had just about everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. The beach is a short walk away. There are also several restaurants and stores in walking distance. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. Our family will keep this home in mind for future vacations.

Home away from home
We vacationed with four adults and two children. Even though the house is a modest size, there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to relax. The highlight was the quantity and variety of beach items. Chairs, wagon, toys, towels, coolers…anything you might need to enjoy time at the beach…which we did daily. Truly a vacation with all the comforts of home!

Nice home away from home
This house was a comfortable base from which to explore KSC, Brevard Zoo, and Merritt National Wildlife Refuge. We did not plan around a launch, and there were none scheduled before our trip, but Lila notified us of one that was added that we were able to watch from the beach. The beach near the property is a pretty good spot for a night launch because you can see the rocket fire and the reentry burn/touchdown of the stage 1 for the falcon 9 rockets. The launch was a highlight of our stay for my kiddos and spouse, who had never seen a launch before, and it was thanks to Lila and Dan that we knew about it. The house had all we needed to cook all our meals, and there is a Publix nearby for groceries. Lila and Dan had great communication with us before and during the stay as well.

Great location
This rental was great! It had everything we needed and more! The owners required an in person greeting which initially made us feel a bit pressured to get to the property quickly with no stops or detours, but the greeting was short, informative, and overall helpful. There was a very well stocked kitchen, the bathroom had everything we needed, and the living spaces were all that we could have asked for. The house was stocked as if you lived there full time, minus food (although there was a great selection of random spices and other cooking necessities.) this was a great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again!

Great house at a great location
It was a great help that Dan and Lila met us at the house and showed us how everything works and where to find stuff (especially since a US household is structured a bit different than in Germany). We felt very welcome and are thankful for that. The house had absolutely everything we needed, both in terms of general layout, as well as equipment stock, especially in the kitchen. The location speaks for itself: Having the beach in walking distance is priceles. We were very glad that the house had a stock of beach equipment that we could take there.

Comfortable, convenient and only a couple blocks to beach and restaurants!! This cozy home has a fully equipped kitchen, with great dining inside and out, on the sunny patio. We had all the beach equipment you could need! This year we found great new eateries in "Crackers island, Fish Lips and Sunset Grille"! Watched 2 Space X launches, one from the beach and one from the jetty nearby! And Lighthouse Mini golf continued the fun times we enjoyed all week. What else can we say... your hospitality brought it all together for another great stay at Cocoa Beach. Thanks!

LILA AND DAN HAVE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING!
Lila and Dan have thought of everything needed for a perfect stay at their home, at the beach, and at Cocoa Beach. The house was spotless, and great thought went into the details ensuring that all of the basics (and then some!) were in place for the stay. A beach cart, beach towels, coolers, beach toys and more were all available for use. The quiet neighborhood and proximity to the beach were a bonus. The outdoor space was very tropical and private and included table, umbrella, comfortable chairs and even a charcoal grill which we put to great use. The owners gave a personal tutorial upon arrival and were helpful on many levels. A highlight was the family walking to the beach on two separate occasions to watch SpaceX rocket launches at night. In summary, great owners and a great house.

This was our second stay at Dan and Lila's property and once again, we had a wonderful time. The house is super clean, and packed with everything we needed and more. They have a ton of beach toys, an umbrella and a large wagon to help get it all to the beach and back. Only a three block walk to the beach, which is also clean and in between two life guarded areas, which are easily walkable. We'll definitely be back!
