Exclusive and quiet (unless a rocket launches), upstairs apartment in downtown Titusville. The building is on the Indian River right across from the Kennedy Space Center's launch pads and two blocks from Titusville's common area with restaurants, shops and clubs. A large window in the living room will allow you to look down Indian River Avenue to Astronaut Memorial Park and Sandpoint Park. It’s a people (or dog) watchers paradise. Your flat is just South of Scobie Park and there are several more parks North toward the city marina. Although not directly on the river it is just down the stairs and around the corner to view launch pads and scheduled rocket launches from the Space Center.

Excellent: Very comfortable, very clean. Well-stocked kitchen and bath. Lots of natural light. Rooms bigger than photos make them appear. Capt Mitch very nice, pleasant to work with. Extremely responsive to questions and needs. Absolutely would stay here again, no hesitations recommending to others.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Fly Fish Flat. The location was perfect, right in downtown Titusville, where we could easily walk around and even catch a few rocket launches just by stepping outside. During our trip, we visited Playalinda Beach, which was absolutely gorgeous and peaceful, and we also did a nearby bioluminescent kayak tour that was such a unique experience.There’s so much nature to explore in the area, though I’d recommend bringing bug spray if you’re planning to spend time near the lagoon. The flat itself was clean, comfortable, and in close proximity to so many adventures. Overall, it made for a wonderful stay, and we’d be happy to come back!
This was one of our most favorite rental stays ever! The nautical decor added to the waterfront location with amazing sunrise views -- including the VAB and rocket launch pads in the distance across the river. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The host was very responsive and pleasant to interact with. I was ready to move in - lol! -- and we'll definitely be back!
One of the best stays we’ve had. The Fly Fishing Flat felt as comfortable as our own home, it was super cozy with really great decor. My wife and I both agree, we could see ourselves settling down in a place just like this. We were 12 minutes from Kennedy Space Center and walking distance to great restaurants and the quaint Main Street. You can watch the rockets launch from right outside your unit - it’s directly across the river. The Sunrise is worth waking up for!Communication with Captain Mitch was spot on, he was very responsive.
Capt. Mitch’s Fly Fish Flat is definitely a 10/10 accommodation. The unit is conveniently located, nicely decorated and very clean. We enjoyed watching the rocket launch from the driveway and visiting some of the local restaurants within walking distance.
The Fly Fish Flat was excellent. The flat was clean and comfortable. Living area was large enough for ease of lounging and visiting. Bedrooms were outstanding with soft mattresses and very clean linens. Bathroom was well equipped with towels. Water pressure was great. Our family enjoyed the location. We walked to restaurants and other businesses. The area was also great for an evening stroll. We were able to get everywhere with ease from this location. Captain Mitch was a delight to work with and easily accessible. We would absolutely stay again and recommend Fly Fish Flat to others.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Fly Fish Flat. We stayed three days. It was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. If you want to see a shuttle launch, there isn’t a better location! We will definitely stay there again!
Great location with quick easy access to Merritt Island bird watching and Canaveral Lakeshore. View of the Space Center and launch area was exceptional. Sunrise views of the water and the birds were great.Historic downtown Titusville was a few steps away with nice casual local dining options. The apartment was roomy, inviting, clean and comfortable. Well stocked with towels. Kennedy Space Center was also just a short ride away. The host Captain Mitch was helpful and pleasant.

Clean, safe, outstandingly decorated, Easy drive to Florida fun in all directions. Cap canaveral launches right accross the river, I sat with a beer right in the parking lot and laundry right in unit to top all the other positives.
Capt Mitch and crew have an outstanding property and communication.
You stay here you will be writing a great review as well. ⚓️ 🌞 🚀 🎣 🏁
My wife and I had great stay at Capt. Mitch's lovely flat. Very well appointed, spacious, very clean, great kitchen, comfortable furniture and king bed.Location could not be better in historic Titusville and walking distance to several good restaurants. Capt Mitch very responsive to all questions. Will definitely be back.
What an amazing place. It was spotless and I am very picky. It's much bigger than what the pictures show. It definitely has a nostalgic feeling with all the wood accents and I absolutely loved the smell! I'm a weird smell person and this was perfect. Great communication and Captain Mitch is very easy to work with. Thank you again!
We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations. The apartment was large, comfortable, and charmingly decorated in seashore style. We loved the beautiful sunrises and wildlife viewing at the Halifax River. The Kennedy Space Center gantries and VAB were clearly visible from this location.
Great location:
— for food (lots of great restaurants within a few blocks: BurgerRobs, Cafè Paradiso Bistro (New Orleans style), and multiple specialty bakeries…)
—for comfort (the apartment was very comfortable with an especially nice kitchen …
— thanks to our host’s alert, we were able to see a space launch from the parking lot at 1:30 am! Great view!
It’s easy to sing praises for The Fly Fish Flat and Capt. Mitch. Everything was perfect for our family as we set out to explore the Space Coast and the Kennedy Space Center. Conveniently located and beautifully furnished, this is a hideaway in Titusville you won’t want to miss.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The flat was as promised and nicely accommodated us two adults and large dog. Being right on the Indian river, you can walk out the front door and watch dolphins, various shore birds and pelicans. Walking distance to park, downtown & restaurants. Short drive to Kennedy Space Center & Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge and Cape Canaveral beaches.
Extra bonus was seeing a SpaceX rocket launch.
As we pulled up the building I thought it looked like a commercial building ( it was prior) so was unsure what to expect. However, the space was inviting, and decorated beautifully. We had one issue - the washer leaked water everywhere including spilling down into the lower apartment. The owner came as soon as he could and neighbors helped us clean up. Would recommend!
So, I am really hesitate to share this hidden little gem in Titusville, but alas, Capt. Mitch was far too gracious of a host to not let even know! Anyway, we made it down here to finally see a launchand explore the Space Coast and this was just the perfect home base. We would have liked to have enjoyed the place more as it was perfectly set up for a gateway on the inside. There is plenty to explore within walking distance as well as driving distance. We capped it all of by finally getting to see a launch on the last day of our trip. Do yourself a favor, if you want the perfect home away from home, than look no further, but most importantly when you come down...explore! and and and
