Communication with the owners (Megan) was very open and prompt from the minute I booked their property. The location was so convenient with an easy walk to the beach. Everything we needed for the beach was also provided. We were with our son’s family and the grandkids loved all of the toys provide on the screened in porch and in the back yard. The kitchen was also well stocked with all the dishes you could possibly need and the complimentary snacks were such a thoughtful gesture. We spent a day at Kennedy space center and left on a cruise from port Canaveral after our cruise. Both were so convenient!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Lunar Bungalow. We had to shift our dates due to Hurricane Milton and the McCreas were so accommodating. They stayed in communication in the days leading up to our trip and quickly responded to all questions. The house is adorable and perfect for families with small children. We appreciated having everything right there and loved the special touches all over the house. I hope to return to this house again for a future trip!

If you want to enjoy a few days at the beach with everything equipped, this is the place! The house is impressively well-equipped, with everything you need to go to the beach every day without any issues. The quality of the cleaning is perfect, and they take care of every detail. The host is very attentive, always ready to help and provide the best service. I will definitely return!

The property was up to date, clean and spacious with great outdoor spaces also. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We did not spot any insects either. Plus the hosts were exceptional. They worked hard to anticipate our needs and were ready to help during the stay. They tried hard to make the stay memorable.

house inside very clean, beds are good, kitchen has everything one needs. seating area outside is good, barbecue available, although little “used”, not a big deal for us. Backyard really needs some love. Location is great, quick and easy access to everything and everywhere

We had a wonderful time staying at this beach house. Megan was so helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her house was also the cleanest vacation rental we've ever stayed in, it was spotless when we arrived. The location was great, we have 3 small children and the walk to the beach was a very short walk. I can say with confidence that this was the best vacation rental we've ever stayed at, and we will definitely return.

We were very pleased. It has everything you need for the beach. The home was very comfortable with lots of extras that were conveinant. The yard games were great for the family. The screened in patio was very nice at night. The kitchen was very updated and clean with all the extras of a home.

We loved the very detailed communication of our host. The home was prepared for the whole wonderful experience of any family. The attention to detail of the entire setup so that we can relax, find what we need to go to the beach from reusable water bottles, beach blankets, equipment, outside shower and outside spout to get rid of sand before coming in. The kitchen was fully equipped for any coffee or tea setup, to cooking and having nearby grocery and the beach. Comfortable beds, plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy getting together and have our space to be by ourselves. The furniture was lovely and just comfortable inside and out in the patio. We even got to see the rocket launch!

This house is well stocked and clean and comfortable. The pictures are precisely what is offered. Cheerful and clean and very well stocked. The owners have an excellent on line Information packet for check in and stay. The house is about 2 blocks from the ocean. It is very convenient access to everything Cocoa Beach has to offer. The owners are very accessible for questions and if any issues arise.

From the moment we saw the property and reached out to Megan, things just fell into place. The pictures did not do the property justice, this bungalow was breathtaking!!! From the decor to the amenities everything was perfect! My kids absolutely loved how close it was to the beach. We did a local boat tour which we found on Groupon and did things like visit local restaurants and played putt putt at Gators N Golf. We loved how everything was super close. Megan was always very quick and efficient with communication and though we didn’t need anything on our trip, we knew she’d reach back out to us in a timely manner. We will definitely be returning and renting from Megan again in the future!!!

My son, my dog and I stayed at the Lunar Beach Bungalow for a little over a week. My husband and other son joined us for the weekend. We had the most incredible and relaxing trip. All of the extras that this home offers are incredible and were truly appreciated. They thought of everything to make the trip stress-free. We spent quite a bit of time at the house because I had to work, but I was able to work outside in the screened-in patio, enjoying the fresh air and soaking up the warmth. The area was so much fun to explore at night and on the weekend. The beach was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for walking the dog. We drove over to the dog beach several times and fully enjoyed that as well. I already can’t wait to get back there for my next trip!!!

Our family enjoyed 3 short nights at Lunar Beach Bungalow after a trip to Universal Studios earlier in the week. Lunar Beach Bungalow was perfect for our short stay. A quick, easy walk to the beach. All beach gear needed is provided. All amenities are top notch from the welcome gift, small snacks, starter coffee and tea. Super comfortable beds and bedding. I loved the beach towels provided. I even checked the name of the beach towels so I could order some for our pool at home. We had one small issue with the kitchen facet that corrected immediately by the hosts. Host has amazing communication and tips for the vacation while we were there. Our family would definitely stay with Southbound Stays again in the future. I'm seeing a girls trip to one of their Nashville properties in my future!

We have now stayed at several of the Southbound Stays locations and every trip just gets better and better. The Cocoa Beach location truly has anything u could possibly need on top of being the cutest, cleanest house in Cocoa Beach!! Bringing kids? They have so many nice toys, beach toys, games outside...all the things! Going to the beach? They have u covered!! The neighborhood is super cute and very nice, zero loud neighbors, everyone is very friendly. We felt very safe!! And it is sooo close to the best beach, restaurants, shopping, grocery stores etc. We truly have never stayed anywhere where we felt so taken care of and appreciate every detail they put into their homes. The communication is great!! We NEVER have a complaint, they are truly just the best and we will continue to always rent through them

I was so thrilled to have found this location because it was wildly close to the co-op market, and within waking distance to the Publix grocery store, too! We were there for 3 weeks for my husband's work, and only had one car rented, which he needed to drive to and from where he was working during the day, so I needed to be able to get other places, and this house was perfectly located for that. 😁 There were also so many excellent and thoughtful amenities for use, too, like all manner of beach equipment, incredibly well-stocked cooking implements, and all the comforts of home. 😊 We were traveling with our dog, as well, and they even had "dog guest" amenities, like biscuits and extra poo bags, and even a handful of extra dog tags with the house's address that we could put on his collar, just in case! It was so thoughtful! The hosts were incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating, too. I was just so impressed with everything! 10/10, would absolutely stay again. 👌👍⭐🥰

10/10

South Bound Stays are incredible hosts. Lunar Beach Bungalow is fully equipped with everything you need and even things you didn’t know you needed on your vacation. This is easily one of the best rentals I have stayed in. PROs: Screened in porch, Beach Gear, tons of games (indoor and outdoor), comfy beds, smart tv’s, wonderful smelling toiletries. There are no CONS to list for this property. THe host has put much thought into creating a wonderful space to get away. My favorite spot in the house was the screened in porch, my family and I spent a good part of our stay here eating, playing games, and enjoying the afternoon storms. The house is beautifully decorated, very welcoming and cozy. This will definitely be my first choice for weekend getaways to Cocoa Beach. Megan is an excellent communicator and even offered us the extra day before and after our booked trip since there was availability. I’m so glad that we got the extra time to relax and enjoy this home.
