Thoughts on Cocoa Beach for STR?

Question

Does anyone have experience with STR in Cocoa Beach? It seems like a safe bet to me considering that it is the closest beach to Orlando and the largest cruise port in Cape Canaveral along with world-class attractions but would love to hear other people's experience and/or knowledge, so we can make a more informed decision

Daytona Beach also has some great options from the Condotels.

If we're being picky, Cape Canaveral is the closest to Orlando. :-)

Based on the research I've done so far, Cocoa Beach is the preferable place for STR (note: they refer to anything 30 days or less as "vacation rentals") because they have very few restrictions. That said, you will want to purchase a SFH because most condos have their own restrictions. You'll frequently see a 30- or 90-day minimum for rentals. Obviously, SFHs don't have those restrictions.

Best to double check their requirements! I believe they are very strict with STRs and properties allowed are minimal.The city is very pro-hotel/resorts.

It's a great hotspot! A place that tourist will always go to year over year. It is great and we have shown several STR up there! It's great because as you mentioned it's the closest to Orlando and one of the best ports for sailing. There are great opportunities all up and down Brevard County! I am a broker in Brevard.
