A flash back to the Golden Age of Cocoa Beach

Owner was incredible nice and checked in with me upon arrival and departure. House was clean and well decorated with all the amenities you'd need. Very enjoyable stay and only minutes from the pier.

Fantastic

This was our second time staying at the Mulvaine Beach House and also our second time to Florida. We love the house and the Cocoa Beach area, Lynn keeps us updated on rocket launches and we were able to see two on our five night stay. Weather was perfect this year and we plan to come back next year again.

Great Week

This was the second time visiting Cocoa Beach (and this property), and we had a great time! The weather was a little cool and windy, but it was vacation so I cannot complain at all! The property owners are great! They communicate and are always available to answer questions. We would love to visit again!

Charming Cottage

The Mulvaine is a charming cottage located with the perfect private beach access. The cottage provides a sense of comfort and creates the feeling of a true beach vacation with its beautifully decorated interior. Our family had an amazing experience staying at the cottage. We enjoyed being in walking distance to the beach and other area sites including the pier. This cottage exceeded all expectations and left us wanting to return again. The owner has the utmost hospitality and was very helpful in providing information about the cottage as well as the Cocoa Beach area. We couldn’t be more thankful for the experience we had and the memories we made while staying at the Mulvaine.

Terrific Escape

This was our second stay at the Mulvaine Cottage. It does not disappoint!! The cottage provides a sense of comfort and coziness. Creates the feeling of a true beach vacation from its charming decor and amenities. The location of the property is perfect for walking activities. The home owners, Lynn and Dave are amazing!! They are very friendly and helpful!! Lynn contacted us several times during our stay to see how our stay was going and also to keep us informed of activities going on in the area. They want to ensure their guests are happy and enjoying themselves. We love this property. Very quiet and relaxing!! So hard to leave!!

Right on the beach and close to restaurants

We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. We stayed for 4 nights- family of four with 13 and 11 year old. We found we really didn’t even need a car once we arrived! Everything was fine exactly as advertised and we had everything we needed! Would stay again!

Beautiful hidden gem!

This cozy cottage is in a perfectly quiet area on the north end of Cocoa Beach and so close to everything! Walking out the back gate to the beach was so easy and such a treat to hear the waves from the backyard. The home was immaculately clean, had very comfortable furniture and beds, well stocked kitchen, streaming TVs, and a great shower. The host, Lynn, was quick to respond and gave tips on where to eat and when launches were happening from Kennedy Space Station....I got to see one the first night and it was very cool! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the Mulvaine Beach House!

Property was exactly as described. Right on the beach, great location, clean, all the amenities expected. Communication with the property was great. Watched a launch on the beach, perfect. I do have one complaint. I wish we could have stayed longer. We had such a great time we hated going home!

Perfect Beach Getaway!

A work conference brought us to Orlando in August and we decided to extend our stay but closer to the beach. We had an utterly fabulous time staying at the Mulvaine beach cottage! The cottage exceeded our expectations for proximity to the beach - it really IS a short walk over the dunes to the large flat, easily walkable beach. The water was GREAT! We did an easy 3+ miles each morning after enjoying our morning coffee on the patio under the retractable umbrella. The shade the umbrella offered allowed us to stay outside longer. The home is sweetly decorated, has a charming warm and cozy feel. Plenty of space to sit and read, listen to music or nap. Nap were important for us since a beach day can be a good workout! We appreciated the spacious rooms, kitchen had many utensils and adorable homemade coffee cups with Mulvaine Cottage on them. So Cute! The cottage is PERFECTLY situated closely to beach bike rentals, RonJon’s surf shop, Publix for groceries and much more. It is carefully tucked away on a side street that was quiet but SO close to anything you might need. Papa Vito’s was a great take out pizza place. Lynn & Dave tipped us off that a rocket was scheduled to launch and it did. We were lucky enough to see it! It was hard to leave Mulvaine and we would absolutely stay here again. I’ve already shared this great VRBO with two of my coworkers. Thank you Lynn & Dave!!
