cocoa village

When you go to Home Depot and get a dumb look, --go see Travis. My neighbor told me about this place. I went in and said that I was a "Travis Hardware virgin", which got a big laugh, but like they do for everyone, they assigned a personal hardware assistant to ME, and he led me around the store, even tho I only came to see if my neighbor was truthful. (He was,and far more). If you want a pet cock bleeder for a 1928 steam jenny, he'll take you to the very shelf and box, blow off the dust and say "what's next?" Even the Internet has nothin' on these guys, and they do it all with great style and a smile. And the place is HUGE! 3 or 4 buildings connected by gangplanks and tunnels, with miles of tiny metal boxes on big tall shelves. The last hardware store i saw that earned the title "HARDware", went out of business ten years ago. Travis most likely bought out the lot of stuff and shipped it to Cocoa. It gives me a nice warm feeling to know that my hometown hardware store that went belly up back home in Wisconsin has followed me down to sunny Florida.

This historic area of Coca Beach is a must see. So many quaint little shops and dining to meet any taste. This area is family friendly. If you have little girls, a must see shop is the dollhouse miniature store. There are so many dollhouses on display in this shop, all crafted by the owner. His attention to detail is amazing. There are kits for sale for you to build your own dollhouse just like the ones on display. He also offers a wide range of furnishings. Check it out...your little girls will fall in love with this shop.

Cocoa Village has always been quite a cool little town, with a mix of catering to the locals and catering to the cruise ship crowd.Gladly there has been an upswing in local activities and more and more businesses both opening and developing the village.Whoever is running the events here, perhaps the mayor, is doing a sterling job.

We go here often as there is always a awry of thinks to do and still growing. From the dozens of shops to the dozens of restaurants/ lounges, as well as the wonderful parks and docks in a remarkable setting, we all love it here. Farmers Market on Wednesday, special events often on weekends, and the atmosphere of it all is breath taking. Love it all here, and hard to see why anyone wouldn't . . . . . .

Its got some small shops and a theater. The park is the best feature. The shops are a little pricey but have some unique things. Its nice for just walking around and looking. The park ahs a lot of things for the kids including swings, slides, monkeys bars.

some nice boutiques, an interesting antiques store, some good eateries, a picturesque riverfront park thats walk friendly with places to sit, a british pub with pool & darts,& a beautiful historic playhouse. most of their plays are very good. call ahead to get tkts. a safe pleasant place to walk around & spend some time & money..

Easy to walk around and I love it that they are not chain stores and restaurants! It is scenic and a fun place to explore!

Had A great time. Had a wonderful lunch. Lots of little stores with unique options. Found some great jewlery and good prices. My friend found a fun shawl I had never seen before. Shop here and you are not likely to see you outfit on every corner.

Nice antique shops to look around, many cute boutiques, lots of fun coastal souvenirs. We got coffee at a nice place, grabbed a snack at a little bakery. The weather was great and it was fun to look around. We also stopped at a 60s retro shop that was very cool! Pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Cocoa Village features lots of restaurants, bars, and unique shops. They have a historic playhouse, gazebo area, huge park with a river view. The area hosts many events including outdoor concerts, local craft fairs, food truck wars, seasonal fireworks etc. A nice place to stroll around, shop, and dine. Restaurants range from pubs to fine dining. Parking is the only issue during big events & paying attention to one way streets.

Relax, stroll, sip, and nosh. So much to do and see, charming small businesses with great owners. So many dining and drinking choices, and a fantastic regional theatre.

This is a quaint little village. Made up of a vast variety of shops, restaurants, and things to do. We can spend all day just walking the streets of Cocoa Village. It is so quiet, and there is so much to look at. It is on the Indian River, so there is also a beautiful view from the harbor.

Ladies, you'll love it. This is shopping that leans very heavily on female shoppers of all ages and tastes. The shoppes concentrate on "local" antiquery and craftpersons. Please try the fair trade shop. Interesting pieces from far away villages.Guys, you'll want to find a nice place to watch a game or take a nap in the Florida shade because it's all "isn't that precious" or "that's so sweet." Well, it's a pleasant way to spend some time with your wife here in Paradise. Just set your sights on survival!

Brought our niece(10) and nephew (11) here. Flew kites in the park, played tag and let them run through the water fountain with other children. Had Ryan's Pizza for dinner and plan on coming back to the Village Playhouse for a matinee with them soon. (The Village Playhouse is amazing! I used to travel to NYC often so I would take in shows all the time. This little playhouse all comprised of volunteers....competes every step of the way with the Broadway shows I've seen. It blows everyone away who visits this theater because of the level of commitment, professionalism and incredible talent is not what you expect of a little town theater group. What a gem and a treasure for Central Florida Residents :)

Simply adorable village! My favorites are: Mangos, Rare Essentials, Ryan's pizzeria, from Olives & Grapes, Ossario's, and my kids love the playground. Date night at Sublime. We are from New York and visit every year.
