Great stopover for leaving on a cruise. Was very happy with stay . Need a coke machine and some air freshener.
2.0
Convenient, priced well, walk to the beach. Hotel seemed clean but had a musty smell. We didn’t use the air conditioner because there was mold on the coils. The floor seemed clean but walking around in the room barefoot made our feet filthy so we had to wash our feet before bed.

Good stay loved being on the beach.

This was our third trip to Anthony’s and we really enjoyed it. Treated ourselves to the two bedroom suite with Sea View and it was very nice. Very clean. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked. The bed and pillows were just okay. We love the location being a little way from town. It’s almost like having your own private beach.
They have gone to contactless check in, which is fine. The motion activated security light right out side the room was very bright and since it’s windy on the beach and they have a canvas type covering over the outdoor kitchen area they’re adding that light was like a flashing beacon all night long.and made it hard to enjoy the outside balcony. Overall it was good and we would stay there again.

Overall good stay, but I will say the fact that the place has no regular front desk service (they only do limited hours) and outside of that you’re basically on your own is not ideal. We could not get on the WiFi and while I called the next morning, I never heard back and when we got back in the evening it still wasn’t available.
The contactless checkin is fine but it would be nice to at least have the option of seeing someone at the front desk if needed at least during more regular hours (say 8am- midnight).
While the 2 bedroom suite has a kitchen I would not consider it fully stocked. It has the necessities but nothing more. Everything was clean and comfortable. Location was nice right by the beach

The little place was right on the beach and very clean for the age. Bathroom and flooring is upgraded. Great for price. No pool but they have outdoor showers to rinse/cool off.

Gone down hill since we were there a year ago. Only staff on property is housekeeping. If there was a problem (we did not) I don't know how it could be addressed.

The only good things about this place for us were that it was on the beach and the room was decent. The area itself was not great but that’s not the hotels fault. The people at the hotel were Loud! It felt almost unsafe. Also the locks on the doors suck! They also reached out to me 20 times before hand with unnecessary texts and emails. Wouldn’t really recommend.

Patrick Space Force Base helped by recommending this room and gave us a great discount. The handicap suite is lovely. The staff and everyone Is accommodating we would definitely stay here again. The owners are very knowledgeable of the area. Directly on the ocean. Great view. Soft sand and convenient to Patrick Space Force Base.

They had contactless check-in and allowed us to check in early because we arrived on an earlier flight. The staff we had encountered was very sweet!

Had a very pleasant and peaceful 2 night stay here. The beach isnt overpopulated in this area so you can really enjoy it.

Digital door didn’t open with the code. No onsite staff in front office. Contactless check in and out. Found housekeeping lady who retrieved the physical key from the secure lock so that we could get in the room.
Recently renovated walls, bathroom, shower stall, floor etc. very good for a motel. Fridge, microwave and small coffee maker.
My husband complained of the blinking temperature number of the A/C affecting his sleep. Wonder if that can be dimmed.
Walked to the beach in short distance and beach chairs provided. - a Plus.
Only stayed one night for the night bioluminescence kayaking - convenient location to Kiwanis Island park for short drive.

Outdoor showers, very convenient parking, sitting area outside, easy walk to beach and staff were very kind.

This was a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is laid back. It's nothing fancy but it's perfect if you just want to get away and enjoy the beauty of coco beach.

When we arrived at hotel there were no employees on premises. We had an issue with our door being unlocked when we arrived and were unable to lock it. It took us two ver a hour after driving 8 hours to even reach anyone in the phone about the issue. We ended up leaving and securing a different hotel that we felt was safe and didn’t have lock issues

We stayed for one night due to our cruise, it was on the beach so that was nice, I always inspect rooms and do a little cleaning myself, it was very clean and smelled nice. I noticed some stains on the sheets and I asked for them to be changed. They changed them a couple hours later. The check in was fine but our door lock didn’t work so we had to use a key. I would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Anthony’s on the beach! Our room was exactly what had been pictured and it was extremely clean and we really loved all of it! We also loved the upper deck so we could go up there in the evening and watch fireworks for the Fourth of July! Anthony’s is the best location to take you right onto the beach and it’s a very quiet area of the beach, which was nice, not to commercial or crazy which is really great! We will 100% go back there again next time we go to Cocoa Beach, we loved everything about Anthony’s!

great place to start before heading on our cruise!!

Cons: The air conditioner did not work—in FL, in June. There were two big cockroaches in the bathroom and the window locks and screen were broken on a first floor room. The housekeeper was able to provide a piece of particle board to prop the window closed. The room smelled of Lysol and damp/mustiness.
Pros: Compared to the pictures online, it looks like the whole place had a fresh coat of paint. The beach was literally right out the back door and had very few people. We enjoyed our time on the beach very much.

We needed a place to stay the night before our cruise, and after researching several places we decided on Anthony’s on the Beach and we were so glad we did! Perfect oceanfront stay! Clean, close to everything, and we loved having a kitchen for the night!

Such A nice place to stay. Staff was friendly very helpful and welcoming. The beach was right outside our door. Can’t wait to come back.

A motel that has been remodeled and has an outstanding location. A very good value w a friendly staff. The front desk is only staffed from 9-5, but they respond to after hour calls promptly. Room rate is very competitive
