A Photo Cruise along South Cocoa Beach

I took a cruise down the Banana River shoreline of south Cocoa Beach yesterday and took photos of all the riverfront condos so that you readers can better visualize the buildings that I mention so often in this blog. Starting at the extreme southern end next to Patrick Air Force Base we have the brand new, super-luxury Villa Verde. Several units available from about $1,000,000.


________________________________

Heading north the next building is the new Orlando Beach building, 4 units available from $499,000.


________________________________

Past a few classic old Florida homes on the river like these two with great back yards.


________________________________

Then we get to River Bend.


________________________________

For perspective, just past River Bend, you can see Crescent Beach Club (on left) and the Constellation which are both directly on the ocean. The upper floors here have not only an ocean view but a western view across the wide part of the Banana River all the way to south Merritt Island. This is the most narrow point of the barrier island with just a sliver of land separating the ocean and the river. Two very nice units in Constellation went under contract last week at bargain prices.


________________________________

Next we get to River Villa (on right) and Dockside, both with boat slips for all units. You can see Casa Playa on the ocean between these two buildings. There is a penthouse for sale at Casa Playa which could have the best views and layout of any unit in Cocoa Beach.


________________________________

Continuing north past the old Dolphin Inn we get to River Place. That is Waters Edge on the ocean looming in the background. No boat slips here.


________________________________

Immediately next door is Water's Edge West which shares a river dock with Water's Edge on the ocean. You can catch a glimpse of the massive new, three-story duplex behind the building.


________________________________

Heading north we see The Carlyle (on left) and Riomar on the ocean. There have been two sales this year in the Carlyle for at least $1 million each. In the Riomar, each unit is an entire floor so you have windows on all four sides. There is a 3rd floor unit available for $899,000.


________________________________

Next on the river we come to Crescent Palms (on the right) and Garden by the Sea, soon to be completed. 2650 sq.ft., 3/3 units available in Garden from $655,000. Pretty much the entire Crescent Palms building is available, one 2293 sq.ft., 3/3 unit for $455,000, $244,000 less than the owner paid 2 years ago.

Last condo on the river in south Cocoa Beach before the split in A1A is Magnolia Bay. No fire sales available yet.

From this point north there are only single family homes on the river until River Lakes and Harbor Isles which are about 1/2 mile away. Hope you enjoyed the tour. It was pleasant from the boat.
