We enjoyed our stay so much. It was a perfect location for cocoa beach and port Canaveral. The fishing at the property is a must, we caught 5 fish. We also were able to see the alligators and manatees!

A enjoyable stay

We enjoyed our time there. The outside space really shows its age and is not quite what the pictures portray. The inside space is nicely decorated. You know you are in a garage. All the essentials are provided and it was comfortable.

Great little place!

Great little place to stay, owners very hospitable and accommodating. Left us towels, beach chairs, drink cups, etc to use. Shower stocked with all amenities which is great when traveling by plane. Was nervous about staying in a “converted garage” but the place was cozy. Close to all the places we needed it to be. Would highly recommend!

Great location

What a great location being 30 minutes from Kennedy Space Centre and also Cocoa Beach. The hosts were easy to contact/talk with. The best part we loved was being able to sit every evening on either the upper deck or the lower deck right on the canal water. The location is a double attached garage which has been converted into a big nicely decorated room with a private entrance. This room also has a smaller room within it which is a super clean bathroom with a big shower. Really cool place to stay in a beautiful neighborhood as well.
