I had a couple days to relax and found South Beach Inn (Cocoa Beach) on the BringFido app. This is a place for those who enjoy peace and quiet. The rooms have fully equipped kitchens and all I had to do was make a quick trip to the grocery store. There was no need to eat out during my two night stay. My dog Fergus enjoyed some home cooking as well. It's a bit dated, but has the perfect beach shanty vibe. I loved the staff and the grounds are very well-maintained. The icing on the cake, was that up to two pets are allowed. read more

South Beach Inn - My dog Fergus ready for his walk on the beach. - Hotels Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Perfect old Florida oceanfront motel. Local owners who grew up in town have updated this cozy older motel with plenty of modern touches. Affordable. Very clean. Uber comfortable bed. Great shower with excellent water pressure. A cool kitchenette is included along with a table + chairs and a nice sofa. This quiet location is very convenient - it's only 5 minutes to Minuteman Cswy. We'll be back. read more

We had a wonderful time! If you're looking for frills this is not the place for you. But it was clean. You have a stove, fridge, microwave. Walk out your door onto the beach. This is old Florida style at its finest! I felt like Justin and I were old friends! It was just what my husband and I needed. We'll be back! read more

Very cool, colorful motel right on the beach. Super nice courtyard area with seating, hammocks, grills with utensils, and horseshoes. Beach access just steps away. We stayed in a 1 bed room and it was clean, smelled nice, had working ceiling fan and AC. The room is very well maintained with a small kitchen including fridge, stove, sink, and coffee pot. Utensils, etc all included in room. We stayed one night so we didn't use them but they appeared to be in working condition. Our room was big enough for 2 people. The manager was extremely nice and professional. If you're looking for an affordable motel stay on the beach in this area this is a great option. It is a dated, affordable motel. Don't expect a night at the Hyatt. read more

I live on the west coast of Florida and needed something to do. My friend and I talked about going to Cocoa Beach and looking for a camp ground because I don't trust anyone to watch my dog I take him with me. We came across this hotel I was so excited to see they take dogs. The hotel is vary cute and clean. It reminds me of the older hotels from my youth. I will definitely be coming here a lot. On the Gulf Coast their is nowhere you can take your dog. Except to really crappie spots like the inter waterways. It really sucks. I will become a regular of this hotel. read more

This place is a dump ! The ocean is fine but the rooms are dank , moldy , dirty and crumbling walls . The clerk lied to me and offered a discount - then over charged my card - I'm out $170. And didn't even sleep there - there is no balcony only the front door - be careful very careful - this is not a good place at all - don't let the beach pictures fool you ! They lied repeatedly about the place - false advertising ! Even lied they they are there in the evening - they are not ! Look elsewhere ! I see others were unhappy as well ! read more

This is the most beautiful hotel in all of Cocoa Beach! Pet friendly, lovely rooms, the staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help! I can hear the ocean from inside my room at night...so soothing! A piece of heaven with really great people who run it! Adirondack chairs to great the sun as it comes out for the day, a grill to use. It's been such a lovely experience! Thank you Southbeach Inn! read more

South Beach Inn - Greeting the day at SouthBeach Inn Cocoa Beach,Florida! - Hotels Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Absolutely loved this place. Small hotel right on the beach. We had a two bedroom suite with a small kitchen and living room area. Cookout shelter and tiki hut on the grounds. Wonderful atmosphere. read more

In many ways South Beach Inn was just what we were looking for. We wanted somewhere cheap, that was on the beach, near my cousin, and would let our over 25 lbs doggy stay with us without having to give up an arm and a leg. Yes, South Beach Inn isn't a five star anything, but it got the job done. The refrigerator is in the "living room" The kitchen is about 3 by 5 feet. The beds aren't like sleeping on a cloud. The decor is boring and nothing special. When you sit down on the bed the lights turn out but when you stand up they come on again. If you lean against the wall while sitting on your bed it will role out from underneath you...and the list goes on and on. The outside area is defiantly the best part. You have a great deck to look out over the ocean, their are pretty palm trees, and fresh cut grass. You can lay in a hammock or sit under the gazebo. The beach breeze hits you as you walk out of your room, and if you want a cheap place to be on a beach with your pooch, this is it. The biggest problem we had with South Beach Inn was the parking. One night when we were there all the rooms were filled and so were the parking spots. Yep there was no where for us to park. One of our party parked in the handicap parking while we illegally parked next to a dumpster. All of the side streets for the next 3 miles are tow away zones, so you might want to ask how filled up the place is when you book. read more

Do not stay at this hotel. The customer service is the worst I have experienced in all of my years of traveling. I didn't complain when I walked in and saw a big hole missing from the wall. I could even live with the mildew in the bathtub and the missing shelves and rust in the refrigerator. I was disappointed to find that the burners didn't fit correctly on the stove so all of the pans and food slid sideways if you tried to cook on them and annoyed with the knob that fell off of the oven and by the phone that rang randomly for no reason and had to be unplugged, yet through all that I didn't complain. However, after progressively waking up each morning with more and more bug bites covering my body I finally had to speak up. I let the clerk know and he told me they would have an inspector come out and check the room for bed bugs. I let him know that I could not stay in that room another night and I needed to speak to a manager. The manager was not on the property so I had to wait for her to call me. After waiting all day I finally called back to the front desk. At that time I was told the inspector could not come out until the next day and I would only be given a refund if bed buys were found. At 12 the next day I finally got a call back letting me know that no bed bugs could be found. I asked if the room had been checked for fleas, and it had not been nor was I given any satisfactory explanation for why my body was covered with bug bites. Again, I explained that I had not been offered another room and I could not be expected to sleep in a room where I had woken up with over 20 bug bites and would like a refund for the 1 night I didn't stay in the room. I was then told that only a manager could offer a refund. Since I had requested a manager call me the previous day, I was very surprised to find out that I was STILL not talking to a manager and I requested to be called that day. That was 5 days ago and I am still waiting to get a hold of a manager. The ONLY good thing about this place is its location to the beach. Save your money. Do not stay here! read more

South Beach Inn - Uneven burners made cooking very difficult. - Hotels Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

I Definitely enjoyed my stay, it's a new Home away from home, it's also walking distance to the Beach I loved the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, especially meeting Tracy she made it a point to make us feel like home everytime we encountered each other, she's awesome and we will definitely be coming back I would love to recommend to everyone! read more

If you're looking for sophisticated this is not your place. This is more of a beach apartment in a hidden beach sort of place. The staff was absolutely amazing! I've had good hotel staffs but they were on point! On a spring break weekend full of young people someone was drunk and made a mess... we went back into the apartment and came out in matter of minutes, someone had came, cleaned it up (literally washed) and it was as if nothing had happened! The rooms weren't fancy, but it was a cute little beach apartment and it was super clean!!! It had everything needed to cook... it felt like a home. The facility itself was very warming! The hammocks, beachfront... I mean... seriously. Very very cute. Beds weren't very comfortable but given the fact I rated them 10 in everything else, the bed were a minor issue. WiFi was normal Location was very good! It's maybe 5 minutes drive from the big things and you could walk for about 20 minutes as well... but it's what we were looking for... a quiet beach place that we could still have fun downtown. Not cheap but it's definitely a good value for the money. I'll de back. read more

South Beach Inn Located at Cocoa Beach Florida. The worst experience we've had. South Beach Inn completely changed the price for a 2-night stay. No weekend involved! Charged us twice.. We had stayed there 2 weeks before and the price was half of what we paid for 2 nights. I would not recommend this place read more

The place itself is very nice, cozy, clean. Kind of like stepping back in time. The grounds are nicely kept and beautiful. That being said, there is no staff present at night or early morning. I missed my flight home because I left my ID in the room and couldn't get back inside. When I turned the car around and returned at 9am (there are two signs with posted hours, one says they open at 9am, the other 9:30am), no one arrived until 10 am. I waited around for an hour to get back into my room. There is no number to call, except for the main office line, and no one is there. Had someone arrived to work by 9:30am, as posted, I would've made my flight. Instead, I'm stuck at the airport trying to figure out how to get home. Even the cleaning staff arrived before the front desk employee, and even she couldn't get inside on time. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

There was a minor issue but life happens. It's a cute little room with amazing staff. Very quiet and respectful. I will be coming back in the future. read more

Great little place. Basically had it all to ourselves which was a little suprising with the great rate we found and being directly on the beach. good supply of beach items free to use. Staff was incredible. Cannot say enough about them. Super clean and close to everything downtown without being directly in traffic. We will make this a regular escape every year. read more

My boyfriends birthday was over the weekend and he wanted to stay in a old Florida style motel on the beach. The grounds were well maintained and steps away from the beach. They have a grill and covered area with tables and chairs. Hammocks too! They even have. Two chairs for you to enjoy you morning coffee outside listening to the waves roll in. They have a closet with all the beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boats, etc for you to use. No need to lug it all with you. The one bedrooms are very spacious. I would recommend it over the two bedroom if you are sharing with another couple. Not fancy but it definitely meets all your needs for a great getaway. The staff and manager couldn't be more accommodating! Looking forward toour next visit in the near future. read more

I love coming here! The staff is beyond accommodating and friendly. This is a place you come to with people who LOVE the beach. No high maintenance people. You just cannot beat the close proximity to the beach. It's pet friendly and everyone is SO nice. Highly recommend for beach bums and surfers! Will only stay here when I am in cocoa beach. read more

We made reservations a few weeks out and gave the deposit online. We received and email confirmation which stated that a full refund is available if canceled prior to 48 hours. When we called 3 days prior to cancel the reception desk person stated that the cancellation needed to be 72 hours prior to check-in. We asked for the manager, but many excuses were given why the manager/owner (Chelsea) was not available. First she was with the cable guy, then she had to take her sick child to the hospital, and I'm sure now it'll be something to do with the hurricane. This is a shady business as they waited till after the 48 hours to cancel our reservation, even though we told them multiple times via phone, email and FB messenger to cancel. We called multiple times only to be told that the document emailed was old and their website had the new cancellation policy. That policy is buried in their site and even the desk person (Daniel) agreed that it is the customer's fault misinformation was sent. The manager never called back to discuss the situation and one hour and 2 mins after the 48 hour cut off South Beach Inn cancelled our reservation. We tried to support local business but this place seems to be on the shady side. read more

If you are looking for a pet friendly old florida style beach motel, this is it! Right on the beach with cute landscaping, a hammock,horseshoes and firepit. However, if you are sensative to cigerettes, this is definitely not the place for you . It's all about Smokation smokation smokation. read more

I dont know why people rate this place so good? We had no phone service the whole time and that was the same for almost all guest. We stayed 4 nights and I had to go outside to use my phone even then sometimes no service. Place smelled of weed the whole time rooms were clean but if you wanted room service you had to ask for cleaning supplies to do it yourself. Don't get me wrong nice view nice location but that's it. Rooms were old outdated and not welcoming. Lots of people living there maid service was making out with her boyfriend the whole time outlets put on the wrong way loud guest who the owner told to chill but they didn't care it's far from everything I had a 10 min drive just to get coffee. Oh and one more thing the hard bed and no TV in the room yoh have to watch TV out in the room with the cracked futon there was a useless divider between bed and living room . Would I stay there again ? ....not for that price this is a warning to others we were so unhappy we left before morning check out the night before. Not happy! read more

On 1st sight the property looks as pictured in the photos except about 20 years older in person. The 1st thing when you notice opening the door to your room is the sickening smell of obscene amounts of pine Sol. I tried to get past that as maybe that means it's clean which that's the one thing I appreciate about the property was that it was clean. That's the only thing that was a positive. So as we walked around to look at our accommodations we went into the bedroom my husband is 6 foot 5 he would have been hanging off of this bed but we sat down on it to give it a try and it was nothing but Springs and about 2" thick. Were trying to decide if there's any possible way to live with this for even one night much less two. We also realize about the bedroom there's no television and there's a tiny divider between the bedroom and a futon where the television is. We turn the corner to try and see if we can sit on this futon with company coming to visit us and it's impossible if you sit down in this hard futon someone will have to help you get out of it because it's shaped like a V. The TV is off to the side so as you sit in your V Shaped hard futon you have to watch the TV sideways which I'm guessing would turn into a perminent neck cramp. We walk into the kitchen and look at the 19 seventies refrigerator and open it up there's no ice maker . I would also like to mention there's nowhere on this property to get any ice. We needed to wash clothes so I went outside to find the washer. Apparently we found out there people that actually live there on the property and they're hanging out on the balcony smoking and drinking beer and we have to crawl across them every time we come up with a suitcase or go down with laundry or even walk down the balcony. So I find the washer it's out in a breezeway covered in rust. It looked like something you might have to stir with a stick like in a 3rd world country. I did have to wash clothes so I paid $2 to wash and $2 to dry and whatever they had running that dryer shrunk all my clothes up to the size of a Barbie all our clothes were torched. Proceed with caution. At this point we consulted the other couple we were with and decided we couldn't live with it. We went to talk to the staff that was so incredibly nice when we booked the room and suddenly attitudes changed. I have 10 years experience working for Hilton Hotels so I'm a reasonable and understanding person I understand how this business works. I explained to a couple of different people in a very calm manner that I felt they deserved to have our money for the 1st night because they'd been holding this room and it was not what we were expecting , poor accommodations , no amenities, poor access to the beach ( A century you had to Wade through mud hole in a tiny Cut through some grass) no where to rent a chair , no pool no way to get a drink in a bar everything about it was sub par. But they held the room for us and it is only fair that we pay our 1st night whether we stayed or not. And I would like to mention that it was so horrible we were willing to pay for that night and we ended up booking another room At the Best Western. That's how bad it was, it was worth wasting our hard earn money to go and buy an additional hotel room for the night. All that being said they became argumentative and said that it was against their policy to give our money back for the 2nd night. We ask them to print that policy off for us and they were unable to do so. So I was being as nice as possible I told them we were already leaving we didn't mind being charged for that night but we would really appreciate it if they would take the 2nd night off as I know they could resell that room the beach was pretty much sold out. They agreed to do whatever they could after they talked to the person in charge and give us a call back. We never heard back and we were charged for both nights as well as the other couple that we are with. If I could Rate this place on a scale of 1 to 10 it will be a negative 50. Don't waste your time or money if you enjoy being comfortable on vacation or even having an ice cube for your drink. I don't know who they paid to write all these positive reviews unless they sit around creating accounts under their own names and doing it themselves don't fall for it this place its HORRIBLE!!!! read more

We have stayed at South Beach Inn a few times now. If you are looking for room service or any other 5 star ammenities, please don't stay here. If you are looking for that real Florida feeling, good people, beautiful view of the beach, doggie friendly place... this is it!!! I love coming here, relaxing, and eating great food in near by resturants. South Beach Inn... Don't change a thing... PS: my dogs love it here too! read more

This was our third stay and it feels like home. We were glad to see it survived the wrath of hurricane Irma! As with our previous stays, this was a pleasant one. From the staff, to the amenities, to the great location, we can't say enough great things about South Beach Inn. The rooms are cozy with a relaxing beach vibe. They include towels, soap, and hair products, of course, but you'll also find kitchen essentials such as silverware, plates, and glassware. There are even propane grills that guests can use next to a fun-colored gazebo. If you're looking for a relaxing, cozy place on the beach, you'll find it here at South Beach Inn. read more

We stayed for 2 nights. Landscaping and location get 5 stars, accommodations get 2 stars. Though our unit was very clean, it was in disrepair. Miss matched chairs at the table, dingy cheap furnishings, my allergies flared up immediately. The shower had such low water pressure, it took forever to get the sand off my body and the shampoo out of my hair. There is no pool. If you need a clean, affordable, basic place to stay with pets, it's perfect for that. The innkeepers were incredibly friendly and helpful. read more

Booked a one bedroom suite here for a group trip labor day weekend. In our group, we actually had 5 rooms between us, so I was able to view several of the rooms. They were clean and well equipped full kitchens with everything needed to cook and serve food. If you are looking for a 5 star amenity resort, this is not for you. If you are looking for a pet friendly, simple, clean, relaxed, right on the beach get away....then this is for you. We had fire pits at night, and a pavilion to gather for dinner at night. The inn keepers are friendly and accommodating, even brought a blow up pool for the toddler in our group with no problems using the resort hose to fill it. I see where others me too an issue with shower water pressure, none of us experienced such issue. The only reason I dont give 5 stars is because some of the rooms did have a strong cigarette smell, so if you are sensitive to this, beware. Otherwise, we all enjoyed our stay and being right on the beach with the ability to have our pets with us and the hospitality of the inn keepers. read more

LOVED it here! Already made plans to come back next year and stay again! It's a wonderful location and Sammy is amazing! He is very accommodating and friendly! The hotel is pet friendly and a short walk to the beach. Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked well with everything you will need and helped us save money by not eating out as often. They also have grills out back for all to use a great outside seating. If you're looking for a homey place to stay for a good value this is it! read more

Amazing! Sammy, the property manager is the best. I'm from Tampa, and it is more than worth the short trip across the coast to get this kind of fantastic hospitality. If you're a Hyatt/Hilton type of person, maybe it won't be your thing. But I absolutely loved the quiet, personal environment offered here. Not to mention each room is like a little apartment. I foresee many future vacations to the South Beach Inn! read more

This was the cutest inn I've ever been too. The service was phenomenal and did I mention you are RIGHT on the beach. Hotel has a closet of beach chairs/boogie boards to bring to the water. Super nice place. Will ALWAYS recommend. Pet friendly as well read more

The family-run South Beach Inn is located at the south end of Cocoa Beach where the surf break is big and an endless adventure of kayaking awaits. Each suite retains some of the sixties motel charm with fine terrazzo floors, floating partitions, kitchenettes and walk-in closets. If the rhythm of the surf doesn't draw you to the sun soaked patio nested in the sea oats and dunes, the colorful Adirondack chairs and green lawn offer a relaxing view of the beach from the courtyard garden. I should warn you that the hushed sounds of the manatee fountain can induce prolonged siesta while lounging in the shaded hammock beyond the BBQ pavilion. Of course the real focus of the SBI is the wide white beach miles away from the tourist strip and high-rises. Sitting around the beach fire watching the huge red moon rising over the rolling waves takes me back to when I grew up on Cocoa Beach during the NASA space race. Instead of an Apollo Saturn V roaring over the Atlantic towards the moon, I watched STS119 space shuttle Discovery turn the dusk to day on its way to the space station. Only a few blocks from the SBI is Ramp Road, the ideal launch for exploring the Thousand Islands. This labyrinth of mangrove and spoil islands kept my Gheenoe buddies and I busy for decades exploring the southern end the Banana River and I still don't know every canopied kayak trail. Many of the islands are big enough for camping and do not require a permit. read more

I had a great 3 night stay here. From check-in to check-out the staff was friendly and helpful. I forgot my hair dryer & a bracelet and they are mailing it to me in California. The location was walking distance to the wedding I attended which was perfect. They have a little patio with chairs on the beach to relax in, as well as an area for having a cook out. AC worked great & the shower had very good pressure. I would definitely stay here again. read more

I was not looking for a place to stay while in FL, I had my friends place to crash. Then I saw this sweet little mom and pop place right on the beach. First thing I noticed was my room had a great view from both sides of the room. It was a really nice room with all the comforts of home decorated with FL beach accents. All the reviews I read say if your looking for 5 star amenities this is not your place. Perhaps, but you can sure make it your own while there. It has everything you would need to set up camp for a while. The room was so clean it was impressive. The retro tiles in the bathroom have been carefully refurbished to their original glory shining with pride. The view of the sunrise in the morning was unbelievable. I can not say enough about how pleased I was to find this little piece of retro relaxation. Go, see, stay, relax You will not regret it. Next trip I bring the hubby, who is a bit of a 5 star hotel connoiseur. After seeing my pictures however, he is looking forward to the relaxing beach experience. I took some pictures of this little gem, but can't figure out how to post them. But I will as soon as I figure it out. read more
