This is our 3rd time staying here. My grandson loves to fish here in the canal each time we stay. We catch many different kinds of fish and have had several large ones get away. The pool is refreshing, the house is always clean with everything we need. The neighborhood is quite and we saw 2 rocket launches this time. Close to the beach, we prefer the short drive to the beach on the street just past Ron Jons or to the beaches across from patrick airforce base. Adam the host is always polite and helpful if needed. We will stay again

My husband and I stayed here with our four children. The house is roomy and has plenty of space for 6 people. We spent time on the canal in kayaks and spotted otters, dolphins and a manatee!! The pool was great as well, especially on the afternoons it was too windy to be at the beach. The location is perfect if you want to be close to the beach without staying right on it. It’s literally a 2 minute drive to Lori Wilson park where there is public beach access, showers, bathrooms, etc. I highly recommend this property if you love going to the beach but also like quiet time away from it. The location of this home also puts you within a 5 minute drive of great restaurants and shops. We were also able to see a rocket launch from the yard. Cannot say enough great things about this property!

Nice home in perfect location. Close to NASA and right next to the beach. Fishing in the backyard was awesome. Catfish loved chicken livers. I wish that pool was heated. Strongly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful vacation at this house! Close to the beach, easy walk/roll on pavement or sidewalk. Plenty of beach toys, large sand mat, and great wagon to take to the beach. The backyard with pool and canal was great. The pool water was clear when we arrived, unfortunately a storm undid that with lots of leaves and debris so we weren’t able to use that to full potential, pool service is once per week. The large screened terrace made every evening comfortable and relaxing overlooking the water, and we saw dolphins one evening! The furniture and beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host was quick to respond and provided lists of information like wildlife you might see, closest grocery, fun things to do, instructions for this and that, very helpful!

We traveled with 4 adults and two kids (10 and 6 years old). The pool was a lifesaver - the kids enjohed it so much. We fished in the canal and the walk to the beach is SO EASY. It only takes about 10 minutes - and that is walking with two kids. And the screened in porch is absolutely wonderful at night - no bugs - and we still enjoyed being outdoors!
People say that the house is old. Yeah - kind of. It's decorated in homey, a bit older kind of decorations BUT everything is quality and in great condition. It is such a comfortable feeling house. We all felt like we could live there it was that comfortable. We absolutely loved it.
It is very close to restaurants, bars, and activities. Some you can walk or bike to.
I would not at all hesitate to stay here again!

We had a great stay. The house was old but nice, we especially enjoyed the outdoor terrace. The location was great.
The pool could have been cleaner, it was fairly green. It was not a 5 min walk to the beach, more like 12-14 min and having to cross a busy street.

We had a great vacation, and I want to thank Adam for his help while we were there.
The location is great. You can walk to the beach, and access to the canal and Banana River is right out the back door! Everything you need is just minutes away, and the house is in a quiet neighborhood.
The house had everything we needed, and was plenty big enough for 6 people to share for the week. The pool was great, and we enjoyed the screened in porch area.
If you stay here, you need to take a paddle down the canal and check out the mangroves in the Banana River. The place is amazing! We saw dolphins, manatees, rays, and many different types of birds. The access to the Banana River is a super great perk, and you should not miss it if you're staying here.
We had an issue with the door lock one night, and I called Adam for help. I hated to bother him, but he was great. Very friendly, and he had his neighbor come and help us out. (His neighbor was great as well!)
My whole family agreed that this was the best VRBO we've stayed at in Florida, and we plan to come back.

Clean home with private pool, pier and yard. My 3 year old absolutely loved the pool and the teenagers loved fishing from the pier. Close to restaurants, fun activities, and the ocean. Watched rocket launches from backyard. Can't wait to return!!

Watching the dawn and sunset with the lovely canal in the foreground was a great way to begin and end the day. We frequently enjoyed the large screened back porch to have meals and play cards.
The furniture was quite dated and did cause some problems for folks with sore backs, particularly when watching tv.
The beach is really not an easy walk considering the four lane busy road to cross. Cocoa Beach does a great service by providing ample parking in the parks nearby. Thus, a very short drive gets you to the beach with all your gear.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely VRBO.

We love this location on the canal and close to public beaches. Our grandson loves to fish off of the dock and the pool is very nice. The house is just as described and clean. The host was very responsive when we needed him to resolve a problem.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful time. Adam was wonderful to work with and answered all my questions. The house was perfect for us. I know others complained about the temp only going down to 73. But there was no need to complain. The house stayed very cool for all of us and we only had it down to 74.
The bathrooms are a little dated but since we don't spend most of time in there we didn't care.
We got to see dolphins one day. And our new friend Sam (the heron) came to help my husband fish several different times.
The pool was a little dirty even after Adam called to have them stop in a few times for us that week. Which we were very thankful for.
Overall I say this is a perfect house for anyone wanting to spend time at home or going to the beach (which parking was right down the road).

Incredible Home
I was hoping to wait until the sting of having to leave wore off but it's going to take more time for that. Let me start by saying that Adam was very great to work with. When I had a question he was very quick to respond and was always polite, professional and courteous. Now the home, well the pictures don't really do it justice. It's very good sized but I will say there were only 3 of us which we generally only have 4 at the most. It's very clean and easy to get acclimated to. There's not an over abundance of complex tech or complicated appliances. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and although it's located directly off the A1A, traffic noise is minimal. It's also not far from Lori Wilson Park which is a very nice park and it has free parking with access to the beach.
Truly you are mostly centrally located to most anything you want to do for those of you who plan a lot of activities. If you don't do that sort of thing it's perfect for just enjoying your time and chillin' by the pooland or sitting on the dock watching the Banana River. Out of many of the places I have stayed over the years this home is my favorite. I'm only disappointed because it was time for my vacation to end.
Thank you, Adam for sharing your amazing home with my family and I.

So much to do!
We had an amazing stay at this property. The house was clean the dock was perfect for our fishing needs. We came right outside the screened in porch to swim or fish!! The house was very spacious! We would definitely go back.

Excellent location
The property is in an excellent location and is quiet.There is a good sized pool and good outlook onto canal with plenty of wildlife. We saw two dolphins which was a bonus.
Our only criticism is the bathrooms which are very dated particularly the ensuite to the master bedroom.The shower has little water pressure. The shower outlet is very low even with a cheap flexible attachment that has been installed. A complete new shower unit with rain head shower head and a separate shower head on a flexible hose which is the norm for other villas we have stayed at at this rental cost.This would give a very positive 5 stars but as it is hence the 4 star rating.

Springtime on Jamaica
We enjoyed our stay in Cocoa Beach during the kids Spring Recess. The property checks all the boxes: clean and spacious with plenty of amenities - proximity to beach, pool, dock fishing. Plethora of dining options all within a short drive. Seeing a commercial rocket launch from the front lawn was exciting for all of us. Already trying to figure out when we can return.

Absolutely wonderful!
The property itself is great. Very roomy and a great location. Close to the beach with that beautiful canal in the backyard to wake up every morning to. There are a couple of minor maintenance issues in the main bathroom but nothing to sweat about. Adam, the owner, was very easy to work with. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat (at the right price).

148 Jamaica Drive, Cocoa Beach, Florida
We had a wonderful time at this rental property. We loved being on the canal and also using the pool. We went to Disney World for a couple of days, and the drive to the Disney properties was simple. Everything is very conveniently close, so getting around was easy.

Perfect vacation home
We loved staying here, had everything we needed and we loved the pool and the dock fishing. My grandson lives to fish and he just caught so many and fell in love with howard the Blue heron that hangs around, occasionally throwing him a small fish for his dinner. We saw several dol;phins during the week also. We enjoyed the beach each day for a couple of hours either at the Lori Wilson Park entrance or drove down to the Allan Shephard park also, both are good with restrooms and showers. We definitly would stay here again

Nice house
Nice roomy house..that could use some updates, like ceiling fans. Pool, canal & Florida room were awesome. More kid friendly dishes & cups (plastic) would've been nice. Getting to the beach in that traffic was a nightmare. Overall a good vacation

Myself and my teenage kids had a wonderful visit. Loved the pool and fishing off the dock. Beach a 3 min drive or 10 minute walk (max). Very nice trip and the owner was very easy to contact.

Excellent property
My husband and 2 kids under 12 really enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described. The house is bigger than it appears. We saw Dolphins several times, they swam right up to the dock. We caught several different kinds of fish. We are used to keeping our house at 69*, with them keeping it at 73* it’s actually cooler then we expected. No complaints.

Perfect location.
We really enjoyed our stay at the house although it poured almost every afternoon/night. House is in a great location on intercoastal. It was clean but bathrooms are a bit dated and so are the TV's in bedrooms. We were bummed that the kayaks & bikes we're locked but in their defense it didn't state they were availability in listing. Saw 2 alligators in canal and various types and birds. Fun for all!

Wonderful Place for a Florida Vacation
This house was perfect for our family. Adam was responsive and his "things to know" document was great to have at hand during our stay. It is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood as Adam states in the rental agreement and that was perfect for us as there was plenty of noise at all of our destinations during our trip. The pool was really an asset for our boys who would use it daily! Especially after coming back from Disney World where it was very hot all day.
The house also has a very nice stove for cooking, a large refrigerator, a nice living space and a screened in area overlooking the canal.

Overall good stay but can’t set the AC below 76*
Overall we had a good time at 148 Jamaica. Everything was clean and tidy. We had plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and laundry supplies. The pool was nice although still a little chilly and we also enjoyed fishing off the dock. Only complaint is that the AC is set to not go below 76. We keep our home much cooler so when very warm outside, the house was warm as well and made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.

Perfect location for spring break getaway!
The location of this property was perfect for us: beautiful view of the intercoastal waterway, the pool was so much fun for our four young kids, we are less than two minutes’ drive from the beach, and the sand toys were a real help! For any grocery shopping, we were less than a mile from Publix, and could even walk there. Great restaurants and shopping right off the A1A. We loved the house and look forward to returning soon.

Nice Spacious Home, Very quiet neighborhood
We loved the house, Some fixtures a bit out dated but it was clean and very spacious. Pool was great and the fishing in the canal was fantastic for the kids. Lots of different types of fish to be caught. I bought some small hooks and some frozen shrimp and we were pulling them on the dock faster than I could get the hooks baited.
The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Couple houses being remodeled but most of the homes around were very nice.
The canal is not stagnant like other houses with canals we have stayed in. The water flows in or out consistently. It is nice and wide and the neighbors across the canal were quiet and friendly. We caught at least 30 fish of 10 or so different species in our 3 nights we chose to sit out on the dock and fish.
Beaches nearby were nice and not overcrowded. We ended driving about 10 minutes south to Patrick AFB to get even farther away from people due to COVID 19 and so we could watch the planes come in to land at the base.
Cons: AC can not be below 76 which sounds hotter than we like to keep our home but honestly was not as bad as I thought. They do supply fans which helps. and 76 in this house is not as hot as 76 in our home but we definitely would have liked it to be a little cooler after a hot day at the beach.
There was a car and tons of personal items that fill up the garage so don't plan on using that for anything other than laundry.
The BBQ grill was disgusting and needs to be replaced. I only cooked hot dogs one night on it and refused to use it anymore. Not a huge problem for us.
We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay
This is our second trip to Cocoa Beach. This house was fantastic. We LOVED having the pool. The location on the canal was tranquil and the beach is extremely close. We drove because of the 3 kids, our boogie boards, and all of the other gear, but could have walked to Lori Wilson beach.

A snowbirds paradise!
We had a great stay at this property!
The house is clean, comfortable and well maintained. The Florida room is an awesome extension of the house!
We enjoyed the Cocoa Beach area. The beach is a short walk from the house and the very helpful ladies at the Chamber of Commerce directed us to other interests in the area . Grocery stores and pharmacies are also very near. We enjoyed watching the dolphins in the camel and also saw a manatee. Unfortunately about 10 days into our stay the Covid 19 pandemic closed down the tourist industry in our area. The lovely yard and awesome pool saved our vacation! We were able to relax in the pool, enjoy the gorgeous FL weather and grill everyday. Not a bad way to self quarantine !
We were not familiar with the thermostat so we were not able to use the air conditioning. We did mention this to the home owner after we left. He had it checked out and said it was set on heat mode.
We highly recommend this property and would rent it again.
