Homey and nostalgic, curious and fascinating, comfy and convenient, even toys for the little one, Strong Haven held appeal for all of us. From fishing early in the morning to sitting on the hugh porch late into the evening enjoying the river view after a trip to the beach or our reunion activities, we loved it! Strong Haven could be a destination itself, not just a place to stay and we would love to come back. Thanks, Vivien! S. Green Denver,CO ##### sharon g.

Apr 15, 2017 #### Great place for a group Strong Haven is a beautiful historic home. It's great for a group. We had 3 family's and had more then enough space. Comfortable beds and plenty of space to dine. Our favorite was the porch. A perfect place to start the day with a cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful view of the river also a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine. We had 1 teenager in our group who loved fishing off the dock. Perfect location to all the attractions. Short, easy ride to the beach. Our stay was comfortable and relaxing.

Oct 11, 2016 #### Strong Haven Sparkles If you are wanting to experience historic Florida in Cocoa you, family, and friends will love Strong Haven. We leave today and I am writing this on the wonderful front porch watching a beautiful sunrise over the Indian River. We were visiting for a family party in Historic Cocoa Village which is located less than 1/2mile south. We were busy and our only regret is that we did not have more time to enjoy Strong Haven. The home is spacious and clean; with unique furnishings and fixtures, along with modern conveniences that made our stay comfortable. ##### Renee R. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie G., Where do you live? Sep 15, 2018 #### You can't go wrong with this place! My family and I are from Pennsylvania and we stayed at Strong Haven while in town for a funeral service. The views of the river were wonderful and being able to spend so much time on the large front porch was great! There are lots of comfortable chairs. The home is big and has lots of seating inside as well. We have experienced times in the past when a rental home would advertise that it could accommodate 12 persons and then only have seating for half that. That is not the case with Strong Haven. Everyone agreed that the beds were comfortable and that the three FULL bathrooms was awesome and we loved that the home has central air. You really can't go wrong with this rental home. If the occasion arises, we'll rent it again! ##### Julie G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Suzanne N. Jan 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Christmas Vacation Overall, we had a nice stay at StrongHaven. This was our 1st stay in a historic home - it was an interesting adventure for us! The showers were small, but that is normal for a historic home - just took some getting used to for us. We enjoyed being able to go down by the river to watch for dolphins - we had one morning where we saw multiple dolphins swimming by and playing - including a mom and baby. That was the best highlight of our trip - so cool to see dolphins in the wild :) It will be beautiful to just hang out on the pier, when the storm damage is fully repaired - crossing our fingers for you that everything goes smoothly with that.We loved the vibe of the front porch and the front porch swing.We did have an issue our first night, but Vivian was very responsive and worked quickly to take care of it. We greatly appreciated it.It was wonderful to take a quick walk downtown and visit the coffee shops. We enjoyed grabbing a coffee and a sweet treat. Had a great time visiting some of the local stores as well.We weWe were able to see the surfing Santas in Cocoa Beach on Christmas Eve Day - lots of people, but it was fun :)The home was well stocked with supplies in the kitchen. Plently of towels, etc for the bathrooms.We didn't have much luck finding beaches with lots of shells, but we did enjoy just hanging out and getting some sun. They were all easy to get to.We had a nice family Christmas vacation.It was nice awayhaoutsunshineiFlChristmas. ##### Suzanne N. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber D.

My son loved that we were just across the road from the river, and he spent quite a bit of his free time fishing. My daughter loved that she was able to have her own bedroom space and bathroom (huge plus for a preteen girl!). We loved the location as we were just a short walk or drive from anywhere se needed to go. Vivian was available for anything we needed for the duration of our stay. Highly recommend! ##### Amber D.

The three bedrooms upstairs were very clean and lovely, with toys for the grandkids to play with in the bunkbed room. The bedroom downstairs was a bit challenging as the floor was very uneven. Had a quite a tilt to it. The dock across the street needs the steps repaired as a few were not secured very well. Need to update the picture of the dock as it showed a screened in port at the end of it which was no longer there. We basically needed a place to sleep and didn't spend a lot of time at the house. Overall it was a charming place to stay and served our purpose perfectly. ##### Gerald L. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor W.
