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!

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!!

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!!

I really enjoyed my stay at the beach house! The house is super cozy, and has all the amenities. It is also steps away from the beach. There is plenty of parking and all communication with the host was helpful and fast. I even got to see a spacex rocket launch from the beach. If you want to see Kennedy Space Center, have quick access to beautiful beach and lots of dining options this is the place for you.
