Always a pleasure to stay on such a beautiful property. We walk in the neighborhood (upscale and luxurious). We feel safe and the views are spectacular. The host responds quickly and takes care of any request we have.

Great property perfect for a couples getaway. Kitchen well stocked and bathroom. Very clean and comfortable bedroom. Owners were very accommodating. Location was great on the river, fishing option from their dock. Close to Cocoa Village and the Port Canaveral, good restaurants. Two launches during our stay.

Jennifer & Michael were most gracious hosts, there when I needed them and gave me space when I didn't, the property is lovely and the bed amazing, I've never slept so well, brill location for watching rocket launches, I saw 2 night launches and went down to playalinda beach for an amazing day launch. So pleased with my stay, if I ever come back I will come here, I cannot recommend it enough.

Great place to stay

We loved our stay here. The listing is exactly as described, it’s very clean and has everything you need. Location was great, right on the water. We were even able to watch two rocket launches from the dock. You can tell the hosts have put a lot of thought into their guest house and it shows. We would definitely stay here again.

We spent a wonderful February at the Historic Indian River Guest House, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect for us — close to family and right near my husband’s childhood stomping grounds, which made the stay even more special. Jennifer and Michael were exceptional hosts. They were always available to answer questions and offered great recommendations for local sights and restaurants. We especially appreciated the well-appointed kitchen, where we prepared many of our meals, and the dock, which provided an amazing spot to watch rocket launches. We also loved being able to explore the charming area around the guest house on foot. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Cocoa and would gladly stay at Jennifer and Michael’s guest house again.

Great location and quiet

The location was perfect, right across the street from the water and close to major roads. Very quiet and not a lot of cross traffic. The rental was very clean with all necessities available for your stay and the owner was available if you needed anything. We will make sure to request again when we visit our friends in Rockledge.

The place was great as others have described, great communication from hosts, and view of the bay. Best part was that i got to see a rocket launch and check it off my bucket list.

The most obvious was being able to watch rocket launches. The river view was very nice. You're pretty much in the center of things to do. The house is very cute and is equipped very well. The hosts are very nice (for the five minutes we got to visit).

Beautiful location and very clean

Wonderful stay at this beautiful beach cottage. It is just as described and pictured. Very clean and stocked with essentials for your stay. The only minor complaint I have would be the nest thermostat kept defaulting to 76 degrees, which was a bit warm for sleeping. The host was very kind and responsive to any questions or needs we had. A beautiful home in a safe neighborhood, with views that are dreamy. Would definitely stay again!

Oh goodness! I wish you had asked about extra towels etc as they were stored in the dresser drawer. Sorry to hear you had a less than stellar stay at our waterfront guest house.
