8494 Ridgewood Ave

Canaveral Sands is a low-rise, oceanfront condominium complex built in 1984 and organized around five stories of residential units. The property is primarily composed of two-bedroom, two-bath layouts with a mix of ground-floor and upper-level homes; many units feature open plans, split-bedroom arrangements, wet bars, breakfast counters, and in-unit laundry. Exterior character reflects classic Florida beach construction with balconies or screened patios, impact-rated windows or hurricane shutters, and outdoor showers; several residences have private one-car detached garages. Common facilities emphasize coastal recreation: a heated community pool, clubhouse with a recreation room and sauna, private beach access via short pathways, landscaped grounds and easy proximity to public parkland. Building access is served by elevators and secure entries; the HOA covers basic cable, pest control, and some utilities. Pet policies and detailed parking rules vary by unit but the complex allows flexible short-term leasing (one-month minimum in many cases), which supports vacation and income-use models. The location places residents within minutes of Port Canaveral, local dining and shopping, Cherie Down Park, and beaches, with Patrick AFB, Kennedy Space Center and central Orlando reachable for day trips.
