Attended a wedding at near by Mia Bella Gardens. This was a perfect place for the weekend. Close by, clean, and comfy beds. Nice yard for our dog too.

Oasis during launch support

This is a lovely and quiet place to unwind after busy days and nights of work. Listening to birds from the back patio or watching launches from bed are extra perks. Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area from which to choose.
A short drive for a beautiful sunrise launch
A very warm welcome home after some night shift work

Beautiful dog-friendly property

If you are thinking about booking this property, do it! The property was beautiful and quiet. My husband and I stayed with our two small dogs. It was a very comfortable house for all of us. It was close enough for everything we wanted to do, but it was nice to be away from the very busy tourist areas.

A “Peace” of Paradise

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this cottage. It was the perfect landing spot as we explored New, Smyrna Beach and Blue Spring State Park. From campfires to rocket ships, it was an experience we will never forget!

Yay Lindsay! We are over the moon ; ) to know that you had such a great time. And thank you for inquiring about the distance to Blue Spring...we didn't know about it and are planning to head there soon because of your mention. You are welcome anytime.

Hidden Gem!

Wonderful, quaint and quiet! Our family stayed over Thanksgiving and had such a good time! There are great local businesses to explore; from food to a flea market, from Edgewater to Titusville. And don't forget the Refuge. Our host was awesome, the house was clean and comfortable and we are coming back!!

Peaceful Getaway

So quiet and such an interesting historical home. The decor was cool and we loved how quirky the property was. My husband really appreciated how he couldn't hear any traffic. And he has traffic radar. We loved that we could have our dog there, and he had a great time exploring the large yard. We had a lovely stay, thank you!

The things you love about the place, we love too 😊 The quirky vibe is pretty different from many other places and the little things are what we treasure most….happy you enjoyed. Hopefully you got to see the launch from the yard. No matter what time of day, it’s always a treat. Come back anytime!

A Soft Place to Land

We had a sudden death in our family and needed a place to stay while we took care of final arrangements. We were so fortunate to find this property at the last minute that accommodated our family. Tracy was so gracious and kind, greeting us upon arrival. The home is secluded, beautiful, quiet, and very comfortable. It was the perfect place to hang out and decompress at the end of each day. We will forever be grateful to have found this little gem. We will definitely stay here again during happier times. It's the perfect place for whatever brings you to Florida.

Quiet and Convenient

This quaint cottage is in a great location and very quiet neighborhood, perfectly situated for our photography/nature excursions to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Orlando Wetlands. We also paid our respects at the nearby Cape Canaveral National Cemetery. The bed was super comfy, the large walk-in shower a plus for a bad hip, we spent a couple of warm afternoons on the back patio, and it was nice to have the washer/dryer. Some of the basics (pots, oven ware) in the kitchen were a bit worn. We would stay here again and recommend to friends visiting the area.

All of the reasons you listed are exactly what makes the place special & we love when guests take advantage of the beautiful surroundings. The wildlife refuge really is a star attraction! We have since replaced the cookware : ) You were super guests…welcome anytime! -Tracy

Easy breezy! If you’re looking for a quiet place to get away, this fun, rustic and unique home provides a relaxing and charming atmosphere. Did I mention it is quiet? The host is easy to communicate with and Tracy wants to make sure everything goes right during your stay. Our dogs enjoyed supervised roaming and sniffing. We enjoyed parks with our pups that were 15 minutes away and went to Kennedy Space Center. We cooked each night at the house and found we had all the cookware and utensils we needed. The house was clean with plenty of towels and you could do laundry if you needed to. It was a perfect get away from our home on the west coast of Florida. We will definitely return so we can enjoy the fire pit and the outdoor fountain.
Back view of the house.
This is in view from the back of the house. There are no birds on site but it used to be a sanctuary, which is cool!
