Sunrise Walk From Cocoa Girl Cottage

A favorite time for all guests we have learned, is a morning walk along the Indian River before sunrise.  How can these this be?  You are on vacation--you don't want to get up earlier than sunrise!  The proof is in the pictures:

Oh, now we see...

Fellow sunrise watcher:
These amazing photos were taken only a short walk from Cocoa Girl Cottage along Indian River Drive. The bird was found near the dock at MacFarland Park, which is also within a short walk from Cocoa Girl Cottage.  Okay we get it now!  See you at sunrise!

Cocoa Village

A favorite spot to visit for all Cocoa Girl guests is Cocoa Village.  It is a quaint, small, river front shopping and restaurant area in downtown Cocoa with a wonderful park, boat ramp and boardwalk on the Indian River. www.visitcocoavillage.com.


There are beautiful streets to walk along, full of a variety of shops, bakeries, casual and fine dining, art studios, old Florida style homes a mansion or two and this adorable small chapel.  Isn't this a perfect spot for a wedding?

 Recently we stumbled upon an antique car show in the village.  There is always something going on here.  Let's check it out!
Cocoa Girl needs to find her Sugar Daddy cuz she just found the car she wants to park in her front yard!

Don't you agree?
Thanks for visiting.

Green Master Bathroom Reveal

My contractor said lets gut the bathroom and start over.  I groaned, no--I really want to save as much of the retro green bathroom as possible, because Cocoa Girl Cottage loves her retro look.  So, we compromised and settled on removing only the tiny green toilet and the old cabinetry.  Before:


 
 After:





We found the old dresser at Adjectives Market in Altamonte Springs, FL. www.adjmkt.com.  My husband was able to salvage the sink and drop it into the dresser.  We love it!  We retiled the floor with this awesome retro black and white tile found at Home Depot.  This is the same tile we used when saving our pink retro bathroom (earlier post).  Hope to see you soon at Cocoa Girl Cottage.

Take care,

Donna
