Our Story
In the early 1950s, the beachside property located on A1A south of Cocoa Beach, Florida was constructed and began operating as “The Tides.” When aerospace activities began at Cape Canaveral, there was no other rental housing available between Patrick Air Force Base and the Cape. Dr. Si Ramo (Ramo Wooldridge Corporation, later TRW) purchased The Tides as housing for the company’s scientists and future astronauts who were the pioneers in the early days of the U.S. space program.
The Tides was later used as apartments/motel until 1981, when the owners of The Tides formed Beach Island Resort, a vacation week timeshare organization, and managed both the motel and resort operations until 1990 when the corporation filed for bankruptcy.
The timeshare owners acquired Beach Island Resort and formed the Beach Island Resort Lessees Association, Inc. that continues to own and operate Beach Island Resort as an Timeshare hotel licensed in Brevard County and the City of Cocoa Beach.
Individuals can buy one week units lease and become voting members of the Association, or guests can rent one or two bedroom efficiency suites for the night, week or month.
Beach Island Resort has gone through some changes over the 70 plus years, but we continue to provide friendly historic Florida charm to owners and guests from the U.S. and around the world.
Come join us as a guest or as an owner; you will be welcomed like you are family.
