Nothing more than you need and Nothing less ??? Beach island resort is a tiny compound of three buildings with a private beach behind its heated pool and little slice of quiet space coast nestled center of Cocoa Beach away from strip but a ten minute trolley ride, private parking, hot tub with jets and BEACH. It’s a no frills type vacation. First thing you’ll walk through a quaint welcoming area with a sharing library, info on nearby attractions which there’s plenty including zip lining, a zoo, dolphin tours, oodles of gentlemen clubs, fishing, surfing, and nightlife. Then ahhh resort life. Friendly people with small chairs outside their rooms enjoying cold drinks and relaxing. A short walk to the beach, the most beautiful beach you can imagine. Most rooms have a little yard space some with outdoor grills. Kitchen is adequate, plenty of utensils and pots/pans. Towel service weekly. This is a 1960s former-astronaut apartment complex where you can view space coast launches from the backyard and turn off the busy-ness of life. Pros: privacy, scenery, great a/c, Florida vintage vibes, on site management very responsive- location location location Cons: rooms don’t have major updates, furniture is suitable, windows do not open/are sealed, but seriously… the cons are minimal compared to the vibes!! This place is a GEM I highly recommend booking!! We made so many great memories there and the people were so pleasant. It’s a wonderful place to stay ????

I have been going here for 30 years. Love the location, clean rooms, and wonderful staff. All ground level makes it so easy to go in and out!!!! Nicely decorated!!

This was the worst time share exchange place we have stayed at. We were disappointed that this was even an option through RCI. The property manager was great with communication and the place is on the beach. The kitchenette was adequate.

My brother and I found Beach Island Resort online and boy did we luck out. We’re used to big overpriced hotel chains with no character. We never thought we'd find a real motel on the beach with a pool, (and a hot tub) that’s only a 30 second walk to the beach. I’m told the motel has a history as well.. Astronauts from the "space race" days had frequently stayed there. Our hosts, (Tara, Fred) were genuinely helpful and personable. We booked one night arriving around 5pm, got settled and I took a dip in the pool for a while. It was unseasonably hot and humid for mid oct. The next morning, I knew there was going to be a rocket launch nearby at Kennedy space center so I grabbed my towel and headed to the beach to watch. What a treat that was! Sonic booms and everything.. just made the whole experience that much better! I went back to the pool for a quick morning swim. So enjoyable and memorable! Good people, great accommodations and price was very reasonable. I hope your stay is as good as ours was..Can’t recommend highly enough.

Beach Island Resort is a diamond in the rough!! We just spent a week there. It is under new management and it’s fantastic. Staff is very friendly and courteous. The pool & hot tub were amazing. You can see and hear the ocean from pretty much any room at the resort. We will definitely be back
