We like the Residence Inn, they offer good rates look thru thrip advisor.
I think I paid less than $200 for a 2 bedroom night before our cruise this Sept.
The rooms are clean and comfy, also have a free breakfast buffet in the morning.
We are going to check out Fish Lips the night before the cruise for dinner, its right on the water. We would like to get there before 5 if we can to watch The Dream sail out of port.

I second the Marriott Residence Inn. Love that hotel. We have also stayed more recently at the Homewood Suites by Hilton (last August) and that is also very nice.

The Radisson is also nice.....older but cool pool area.

We did not like Country inn and Suites but many do.

Then you have all the hotels down near the beach. The above ones are closer to the port and not on the beach.

Restaurants we like are Grill's, Fishlips, Rusty's (all right on the canal)
Zacharay's is a nice family place

I'm speaking only from my own experience, but we stayed at the DoubleTree in Cocoa Beach was a good choice for us. (We had points that made this an inexpensive option.) The hotel is a bit dated, but clean and had a nice pool area and access to the beach. They had a shuttle to the Port which was on time and easy to use.

We took a walk to Ron Jon while we were there and grabbed a quick bite at the Shark Pit Bar & Grill which is in the Four Point Sheraton. Typical bar food but they made a heck of a burger.

Thanks Everyone! Please keep the ideas coming. I'm way behind on my planning and need to get in gear!!!!

We've stayed at the Country Inn and Suites (okay, but too far from anything if you don't have a car ) but are staying for the second time at Comfort Inn and Suites bc we need a bigger space with the five of us, and it's in walking distance to the beach, Ron Jon, and our favorite Italian restaurant there, which is Brano's.

My faves are 4 Points Sheraton and Rusty's restaurant.

Residence Inn- clean, quiet, free breakfast-kitchen/grills! You can cook dinner there! Juice 'N Java-downtown Cocoa beach for coffee, smoothies, sandwiches-great local flair! All require a rental car to get around.

Up-vote for Fishlips. I LOVED!!!! their Lobster Bisque and DH and DS loved their clam chowder.

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

There's 2 other restaurants that are supposed to be good. I think their names are Gills and Fishballs. Plenty of good places to eat in Cocoa Beach!

I should add that Rusty's, Grills and Fishballs are all located near the port and offer good views of the ships. However, there are several other restaurants away from the port including some right on the beach. You won't go hungry in Cocoa Beach!

I'm sure that DS's jaw will drop at the size of the ships! So much fun!

We love eating at Rusty's and we've been to Grills once, and it's good too. Many like Fishballs, but that name is disgusting, I won't eat there. LOL!

We like La Quinta Oceanfront. Right on the beach, next to the pier. Has a nice pool and free breakfast. The rooms are fairly newly renovated. Ocean front or ocean view
rooms.
We
Also like Grills or Fishlips.

 

[adg06]

We haven't stayed there yet, but have also booked the La Quinta Oceanfront. The location sold me... direct oceanfront rooms with balconies, and right next to the pier, walking distance to restaurants, etc. Two things I always love are an ocean sunrise on a balcony with coffee, and walking along the beach to go to dinner, sandals in hand, LOL.
