Totally renovated. River nearby (5 minute walk). 5BR 3BA. 2500sf zen-like luxury home with outdoor hot tub, fire pit, and game room. Sink into the vibes of this luxury home! Bedrooms themed on the Zen Elements of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire. Himalayan salt lamps create a healing atmosphere in the home. Unbeatable central location. Kennedy Space Center 15min. Bioluminescence tours close. Orlando Airport 35min. Beaches 15min. Cruise Port 10min. Viera USSSA Sports Complex 20min.
Definitely a stand out and NOT your typical vacation rental. Zen House Cocoa was carefully curated to create a restorative and nurturing sanctuary for your large group/family. Think amazing location meets swanky meets comfy meets tech meets fun. Zen isn't just serious; Zen can be fun. Zen is a vibe and we have it going on here at Zen House Cocoa.
Bedrooms are super comfy with pillowtop lux mattresses. We have 4 kings, 1 queen, and 2 twins. Sleeps 12 legitimately (no bunk beds or sleeper sofas). We are not at summer camp. 3 full baths, one of which is HUGE and ALL of which are totally renovated.
After a long day of exploring the space coast, settle in for a nice dinner with plenty of seating for 12. The large cooking/eating area is spacious yet designed for conversation. Wall tapestry sets the tone along with under-cabinet the smart light strips that can change color on your command.
Pop over to the living room space which also seats every one and catch your favorite movie on the big screen equipped with soundbar and subwoofer to feel the music or movie. Stream whatever you want with our speedy internet with Eero Extender.
Perhaps a stroll down to the river, or a bike ride. The river access is about a 5-10 minute walk. (please note: the pier is damaged from our last hurricane, but you can still enjoy the water front park.
The Zen continues outside. Step out onto the brand new paver patio and sit under the stars while taking in a Florida evening. For more relaxation, step into the hot tub with LED lights, take a seat by the fire on the coquina beach, or retreat to the “Turtle Shack” for a game of foosball, air hockey, or watch a movie on the big screen.
All of this zen is packed into a sweet space in an unbeatable location with direct access (no lights) to Rte 528 for heading to the beach (12-15 mins), airport (35 mins), cruise port (10 mins), and space center (20 mins). Or take a quick drive or bike ride down through Indian River Rd to the jewel of the Space Coast, Cocoa Village (5 mins drive, one light, 10 minute bike ride).
Publix and Walmart are both within 5 minutes for shopping and restaurants galore.
Stop looking and consider booking. We would be humbled and honored to host you!
