A Dolphin Den Delight!
My fiance (new since this trip!) and I stayed at the Dolphin Den for 3 nights, a small studio like apartment that was the perfect slow burn into our main vacation, a cruise! The Dolphin Den was exactly what we needed, a friendly and caring host, coffee, laundry, mini fridge, everything for a beach day, biking or kayaking on the canal! We walked to part of downtown cocoa and the beach on multiple occasions with the beach being 5-10 depending on traffic and restaurants, shops and ice cream 15-20. We really loved the Roku feature, we were able to enter our departure date, sign into whatever streaming service and it signed us out at our departure date! We happen to be cat people and found a very sweet neighborhood cat to spoil, a plus for us. If you are not a cat person no worries, the cat(s) lean more on the skiddish side so unless you lure them in they do not bother you. My fiance kept saying "I could totally live here!" the entire 3 day stay haha. We found the bedding to be very comfortable and relaxing. We would most definitely stay again!

So much to do!!!
Across the street from a school feels very safe. Walking distance to place you can kayak with dolphins! Crazy. Also manitees. Couldn't believe it. Walking distance or bike to beach. Not crowded. Perfect for us looking for adventure. Host is amazing. Can't wait to come back.

One block to the river to kayak among dolphins and manatees - three block to the ocean for sand, sun, and surf. Nice private cottage tucked away on a side street - Jacki was an excellent host, so helpful, and had all the little extras that make for a great stay.

We loved our stay at the Dolphin Den! It was very close to walk to the beach and into town and had everything we needed. Jacki was super helpful and guided us on how to experience all the fantastic things to see and do in town during our stay. Highly recommend and will def stay again on a future trip to Cocoa Beach!

Great, simple place that would have been ideal for my stay if weather preceding Hurricane Milton hadnt precluded some kayaking/walking trails. Hostess was very helpful as I dealt with change in plans in response to weather warnings.

I had some complications with the booking process due to a mistake on my end, spelled my email wrong, and the property owner as well as the booking agent were very helpful helping me iron out the situation. The unit was cozy and had everything I needed for a last minute stay at the beach. I will definitely be back!

Great weekend stay
The host, Janel, was great. So kind and informative. She told us about a rocket launch going on that we would have missed, and replied almost instantly any time I had a question. It was a short walk to the beach, and they provided very nice quality boogie boards which we used every single day. I have seriously no complaints with this place!

Dolphin Den
There was very little or no communication with our host, I had to call Vrbo to get the address. It was hard to gain entrance to our place. A learning process...The bed was horrible! The mattress needed to thrown out!. My wife forgot her med in the refridge and the host brought them to the cruise port after we were already on the ship, We were so relieved and appreciated the drop! Thanks so MUCH! Beside the bed and the coffee machine not working it was just OK!
