About this villa rental
Have you ever wanted to travel to a place where Rockets soar and dreams are born! It is here!!! This bungalow has all the attributes! Beautiful and Private. You will feel as if, you have stepped back in time. My husband and I have traveled alot and incorporated the Best in our bungalows. "The Hemingway" offers a glimpse into the old days. It is eclectic with an old world feel. Ernest Hemingway was a genius. I have visited his home in Key West many times and brought back fresh ideas for our Villa. It is very secluded here. We are surrounded by, palm trees, poinciania trees, citrus trees and lush foliage. Most of which was taken from cuttings or grown from seeds which we brought back from the Florida Keys. We have a hammock area in the back yard along with a beautiful fountain. More pics are available upon request. It took many years to create this little paradise and I feel so blessed to be able to share it. There is a King size Mahogany Pineapple bed in the Master suite with a sealy Posturepedic pillowtop mattress. This will give you many nights of beautiful dreams. Along with our luxurious 600 thread count sheets and goose down pillows! In the living area there is a Flexsteel golden vevet sofa along with gorgeous lighting. Ambience is so important in setting the mood for a perfect vacation! The dining area has a Mahogany buffet and round dining table to match. It is exquisite. I only wanted the very Best for our guests! We specialize in customer service! Our home is located on the same property as the Villa. No question is too small. We want you to have an incredible vacation while you are here with us! Everyone needs some down time. Luxury is our specialty!

We have had many returning families and friends vacationing together choose to lease both bungalows. Please send me an e-mail or call.

The downstairs bungalow is named ' Hollywood East ' this bungalow is 2 bedrooms and is art deco ispired by old Florida and Hollywood during the Rat Pack era. Our property is located between 15thst.

Enjoyed location, convenient to beach, restaurants and Kennedy Space Center.
Met Paul at exact check-in time and he reviewed all items in and around rental. They provided beach chair, umbrella and beach towels. Cooler also, if you needed them.
Booklet in home provided suggested restaurants with notes on each. We went to three recommended restaurants and the were great. Great seafood.
Really liked Taco City, especially on taco Tuesday. Great prices and $2 tap beer. Be prepared for line, but well worth the wait.
Thanks Paul, hope to visit again.

Lovely apartment, very comfortable.Decor amazing,a real Hemingway vibe. The bed is not only beautiful but so comfortable. The hosts who live next door are friendly but not intrusive. A short walk to the beach. Close to Kennedy Space Centre. Titusville just a 45 minute drive away and a nice town. Check out the small American Space Museum in Titusville, had an hour and half guided tour, so many unique space related artifacts and the volunteers are very knowledgeable and passionate. Melbourne historic district is worth a visit We had a really enjoyable stay. Thank Paul and Elle.

Lovely stay
Great vibe at this place. Close to the beach, and it’s a nice, quiet part of the beach. The owner lives adjacent to the house, so if you plan to disrespect the place and make noise this rental is NOT for you. We hope to return soon.

Awesome Couple
I wanted to extend this review to Paul and Elle. They were the most nicest couple I’ve met in a long time . Paul made sure we had everything we needed and he answered all of my messages and phone calls which I can appreciate. Mrs Elle is a sweetheart . We really enjoyed ourselves and will return when we visit again

quirky little apartment close to the beach
We enjoyed our stay. Apartment was quirky, clean and well stocked, close to the beach, nice little neighborhood area. Easy drive to a lot of fun things, or just relaxing on the back patio.

A mixed experience: so so
The location is close to the beach but between 2 very noisy streets, so that interferes with enjoyment of the large deck. The kitchen is tiny but with a large fridge, so cooking is okay. The decor has charm but is very very busy, so it wears thin after a few days. The bed is great, the bedroom quiet. We liked the property owner a lot, so wish our review could be more positive.

Perfect For Us
From the moment we arrived, we knew that we had arrived in a fantastic spot to escape. The place was very clean and tastefully decorated. You could tell that it was important to our hosts that our stay was going to be perfect. From the first day to the last we had no complaints what-so-ever; clean, everything worked, the bed was so comfortable, walking distance to the beach, numerous places to eat (from bar-food to perfection dining), not inundated with tourist traps, reminiscent of laid back life when we lived in Ft. Lauderdale in the 70's. Will we return? Without a doubt!!

3 minute walk to beach
The apartment was clean, eclectic and comfortable. Loved the deck and 3 minute walk to the beach. I had ease of use of equipment for the beach. Only downsides were the WiFi signal was weak and the beach umbrellas need replacing. Other than that was a peaceful stay. I’d recommend to anyone else as Paul was super easy to work with!

Fantastic stay highly recommend
This is a quaint area of Cocoa Beach. Unit is small but feels bigger. It is a perfect size to stay at a beautiful location. Very cozy, cold A/C. The bed was comfortable. Space would be adequate for two adults to have enough space. I really enjoyed the deck area with so many stars at night. One block away with a quick car drive because I packel too much was a perfect stop to enjoy the beach. The owner was more than nice and very easy to communicate with. Extra special is a surprise bottle of champagne. Thank you for allowing me to stay at your beautiful residence.

The stay at this property delivered exactly what it suggests it will. The place was clean and the location was great. My only suggestion would be to modernize the check in process. Because there is no lockbox to retrieve the key I felt terrible having to bother Paul late night with my arrival. My plans were thrown off and I arrived 4 hours later than anticipated, and having to keep reaching out because I was running behind added to my already frustrating start to the trip.However Paul was extremely nice and everything outside of that was great!

Cozy Getaway
We had so much fun staying at Paul and Elle’s place! They paid so much attention to detail. No stone is left unturned in Cara Mia’s Blue Rose. We adored the Hemingway. It was just the right size for two of us to make meals and take beach breaks, and is such a charming and low key environment. The walk to the beach is so easy, and the beach itself is so pretty. The entire area is quiet, and there is so much polish greenery around that it feels like a secluded paradise. Paul and Elle left so many recommendations on places to eat and things to do, and everything was as great as they promised. We absolutely loved it, and definitely plan to stay there again!

Location, location, location!
Great experience, Paul & Elle have put together a unique rental getaway that will bring us back for sure. The rental is literally a 2 minute walk (if not 90 seconds) and is situated just far enough from the craziness of the heart of Cocoa Beach but close enough for easy ride into downtown and surrounding restaurants. They also had great recommendations for where to eat. We had the upper unit with the private deck that we ended up on every night for a final drink and stare at the stars. The loungers were comfortable and we couldn't have asked for a better place to turn off the chaos of everyday life and relax. Thank you Paul & Elle, we look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Cocoa Beach Vacation 2019
My stay at Cara Mia was very nice Property owners were very nice. Owners live on site and wee available to answer questions. This reminds me of the Florida I knew years ago. I really loved the decor, Ernest Hemingway-Key West theme was perfect for me. Vintage Condo was on second floor. Ocean was within walking distance. One parking space in front. No actual view of the Ocean but attached wood deck was great perfect for morning tea. I enjoyed my stay.

Lived up to description
I enjoyed my stay at Cara Mia's Blue Rose. I liked the privacy, the spacious outside deck and the unique style of the place we stayed in. I was looking for relaxation, and that is what I found there. No problem walking over to the beach, which was un-crowded and beautiful at this location. Really enjoyed my time there.
