- Short drive to Cocoa Beach & Kennedy Space Center
The Space:
Step into a laid-back Florida retreat on Merritt Island - a peaceful base from which you can explore everything the Space Coast has to offer. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, giving you the calm of a local getaway while keeping beaches, dining, and iconic attractions within easy reach. Whether you're chasing waves at Cocoa Beach, catching a launch from Kennedy Space Center, or simply unwinding after a full day out, this home gives you the room and comfort to do it well.
Living space
The main living area is open and relaxed, with a TV and ceiling fan to keep things comfortable during downtime. A dedicated workspace is available if you need to get something done between adventures, and the single-level layout means easy movement throughout the home for everyone in your group.
Sleeping arrangements
Three bedrooms, each with a queen bed, sleep up to six guests comfortably. The setup works well for families, friend groups, or a mix of couples traveling together. Extra pillows, blankets, bed linens, and hangers are provided, along with clothing storage in each room so you can actually unpack and settle in.
Kitchen & dining
The full kitchen is well-equipped for home-cooked meals and morning routines. You'll find a refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee maker ready to go - along with cooking basics, dishes and silverware, wine glasses, a toaster, blender, and baking sheet. A dining table gives the group a proper place to sit down and eat together.
Bathrooms
Two bathrooms mean no one's waiting around in the morning. Both are stocked with the essentials - hot water, shampoo, body soap, hair dryer, and cleaning products - so you can travel lighter and still have what you need.
Outdoor & practical
Step outside to a backyard with open green space, ideal for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. A BBQ grill is available for cookouts. The large driveway fits up to four vehicles, which makes logistics simple when the whole group drives in together. A washer and dryer are on-site, and the home has a private entrance with self check-in via smart lock - so arrival is smooth no matter when you land.
Location
