The house is adorable! It was immaculate and comfortable. The location is good, there's a Wal Mart and restaurants in the area. The neighborhood was very quiet.
The interior is very nice and freshly renovated. The house was comfortable and met our needs. It would be nice if there was a washer and dryer available (I missed noticing that one wasn’t included which is my fault). It would also be helpful to have some basic cleaning supplies available for keeping the house tidy during our stay.Overall, a nice place and convenient to the Cocoa Beach area.

Thank you for your kind review. We pride ourselves on creating a great experience for our renters. I always appreciate great feedback from our tenants and I will utilize your suggestions to improve our home even more! Although we want to take on every day tasks like cleaning for our guests, I have put together a charming little cleaning caddy together for the use of our conscientious guests in the future. It is guests like you who equip us to make Harbor House a perfect place to stay!
Very conveniently located to Cocoa Beach and the places we did bioluminescence kayaking. Three couples stayed in the place very comfortably. Had a little trouble with some housekeeping stuff when we first checked in but the property manager came over immediately and took care of it.
The place looked great, and was clean. Nice shower. We could have used a few more towels. Plenty of parking. It seemed to be close to the beach but we were too busy to check that out. I thought it was a 3 bedroom place, but it's only two.

Thank you for staying with us at Harbor House Jim. I’m a little perplexed about your comment that it is a 2 bedroom. It has 3 fully separate bedrooms and 2 queen sized beds and 1 king sized bed. Maybe you confused us with another listing??? Thank you for leaving the house clean and neat!
Growing up in the Cocoa Beach area, we love the beach vibes, the easy access to cruises, and most of all the thrill of watching an authentic rocket launch into space! Our passion is to share these wonderful experiences and memories with you!
Why they chose this property
This quaint and unique neighborhood is close to everything you need for a spectacular get-away: beaches, KSC Launches, 2 boatable rivers, kayaking to see real manatees and dolphins or watch the once-in-a-lifetime bioluminescence, the cruise port is a mere 5 minutes away, daytime family fun and nighttime entertainment is within 10 minutes, deep-sea fishing at it's finest, and the most delicious seafood you will ever find!
All this and every theme park in Florida is only 45 minutes away, as well as Orlando International Airport! And for our race fans, Daytona International Speedway is a quick 45 minutes away!
What makes this property unique
Nowhere else in the world can you stay at one residence and watch KSC Launches, Put your boat or kayak in two diverse river ecosystems, work on your tan at the beach, or catch your cruise ship to paradise!
