Discovery Beach Resort sits right on the sand at 300 Barlow Avenue, an all-condominium property where every one, two, and three-bedroom suite opens onto a private balcony hanging over the Atlantic. These are homes, not hotel rooms: full kitchens, separate living and dining space, and an in-unit washer/dryer let couples and families settle in for a week. Down on the paver deck, a heated oceanfront pool sits beside a circular hot tub and a thatched tiki hut, with a sauna, fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, and an arcade stocked with pinball, air hockey, and billiards a short walk away.

The resort anchors the walkable heart of Cocoa Beach, so the town’s restaurants, bars, and boutiques along A1A are minutes from your door. Stroll up the sand to the 800-foot Cocoa Beach Pier for waterfront dining and surf history, or drive fifteen minutes to Ron Jon Surf Shop, the 24-hour flagship at SR-520. Port Canaveral and its cruise terminals sit ten minutes north, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is roughly twenty minutes away for rocket tours and Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Orlando’s theme parks are an hour inland.
