Great location and quiet

The location was perfect, right across the street from the water and close to major roads. Very quiet and not a lot of cross traffic. The rental was very clean with all necessities available for your stay and the owner was available if you needed anything. We will make sure to request again when we visit our friends in Rockledge.

Amszing...

The place was great as others have described, great communication from hosts, and view of the bay. Best part was that i got to see a rocket launch and check it off my bucket list.

The most obvious was being able to watch rocket launches. The river view was very nice. You're pretty much in the center of things to do. The house is very cute and is equipped very well. The hosts are very nice (for the five minutes we got to visit).

Wonderful Views and Easy Access

We were only staying in the area a couple of days and had some day trips. The place was cozy and comfortable (really liked the layout). Jennifer was really good to offer assistance if we needed it, but everything worked out well. I would have liked to see a launch (we could see Kennedy Space Center from the house), but the launch scheduled was postponed. We would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to visit Orlando or KSC (or just head to the beach!).
Beautiful morning!

Great place to stay

We loved our stay here. The listing is exactly as described, it’s very clean and has everything you need. Location was great, right on the water. We were even able to watch two rocket launches from the dock. You can tell the hosts have put a lot of thought into their guest house and it shows. We would definitely stay here again.
