Cocoa Beach is a wonderful tourist town on the east of Florida. It’s the same beach town that was featured in the 1965’s iconic sitcom ‘I dream of Jeannie’; however, Cocoa Beach has way more value than some airtime in a television show. It’s surrounded by notable places, so let’s take a look. The Atlantic on the east and Merritt Island to its west are two great locations for water sports. But two greatest attractions for this region are NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Launch Site, both situated to its north. If you have a plan to visit this great town for either of those purposes, or you have your reason, we have curated a list for you. Read on to know where to stay in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

Take our suggestion if you cannot decide
A hotel stay is usually luxurious, but at the same time, the tariffs are higher. On the other hand, apartment stays are homelike, and hence cost-effective. If you’re stuck between the choices, take our advice. Aparthotel accommodation isn’t beneficial for overnight stay, and hotels won’t be economically feasible for longer stays either. So pick from the number of options above that helps you stay within your budget.
