We love coming out to Coquina just to get away from it all, the rooms are large and they have every thing you need, the beach view is awesome and the staff is friendly and helpful, we have been past guests for the last 10 years !

Once again leaving after a weekend of fun and relaxation was so bittersweet. Our room was clean and cheerful and beautifully laid out. Having stayed at Coquina many, many times over the last few decades I can truthfully and honestly say I would hesitate to ever stay anywhere but here. There are never any unwelcome surprises. I feel so at... More

Staff was outstanding & you can't beat the location or the price. We couldn't of had a better time! Coquina On The Beach is tucked away from busy areas but still very close to many areas offering shopping, dining, nightlife, etc.. You will also find several amenities that are not available at other places. Those ranged from hammocks on the... More

If you are looking for an upscale high rise, this is not for you. BUT if you want a clean place to bring your fur-kids for a nice beach front get-away, this place is for you. Nuttin' fancy, but that's how I like my beach get-a ways! My husband and our 2 large breed dogs have stayed 2x, And we... More

This condo is right on the beach with excellent views of sunsets. Unit was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Pool was small but clean and nicely heated. You can wallk down the beach and be at local restaurants and bars. They are a perfect distance away-not too close not too far. The free trolley will get you there... More

My family has been going to the couquina on the beach growing up so it is a tradition! It's a little run down but in excellent condition due to the salty air being so hard on it and how long it has put up. I love the employees were treated like a family and they are very friendly :) It... More

Our recent stay at the Coquina was great. We stayed there last year and will return next year. We love seeing the new improvements every year. It was clean, roomy and the price was amazing for that area. The location can't be beat - right on the beach. However, you have to understand that it is an older property and... More

If you want a hotel right on the beach, yet away from the ticky-tack of Siesta, this is the place. Staff is very accomodating, maid service excellent. Beautiful pool surrounded by palm trees. Most units nicely renovated and very tastefully decorated. Nice hut on the beach, with plenty of chairs. Cooking facilities with nice table in room. Stoves are old,... More

We've stayed at the Coquina before, numerous times in fact. We stayed there from 22nd Dec until 2nd January to cover the Christmas period. I can recommend the Coquina enough. We stayed in a one bedroom unit over looking the pool and out onto the beach - perfect is an understatement. The staff are extremely accommodating, helpful and super friendly.... More
