Great time at Strong Haven

My family and I enjoyed staying at this beautiful old home with so much history and charm. We loved the porches and especially the dock in the evenings where we saw a dolphin, a manatee and stingrays.

Strong Haven

We loved it! Three generations and 10 people stayed here and enjoyed living in history! The house fit everybody comfortably and although over 100 years old has all the modern amenities. Vivian was a great host and always communicated promptly. The house has great views (don’t miss the sunrises) and a great location (walking distance to Cocoa). The kids all want to go back and so do we.

Beautiful older home

Beautiful view of the Indian River. The house is older but very inviting. The three bedrooms upstairs were very clean and lovely, with toys for the grandkids to play with in the bunkbed room. The bedroom downstairs was a bit challenging as the floor was very uneven. Had a quite a tilt to it. The dock across the street needs the steps repaired as a few were not secured very well. Need to update the picture of the dock as it showed a screened in port at the end of it which was no longer there. We basically needed a place to sleep and didn't spend a lot of time at the house. Overall it was a charming place to stay and served our purpose perfectly.

Great stay

We love old houses and Strong Haven is a nice place. Right on the Indian River it was a quiet, nice neighborhood. Just enough modern to be comfortable, and enough originality to be a fun stay. The front porch at sunrise is especially nice.

Beautiful property! Everything we could have wanted for a relaxing race weekend.

We were so pleased with our stay at Strong Haven. The house is beautiful and well kept with charming historic touches. Loved spending evenings on the porch overlooking the river. The dock was great and we were able to get some fantastic up close pictures of the dolphins playing in the water. Can't wait to stay again!

Ideal stay!

A wonderful house with character in a super location. 7 adults and 2 active 4-year olds enjoyed the house very much. Comfortable and the owner's attention to detail was most appreciated. Visited the beach, Kennedy Space Center (saw a launch!), the dinosaur store, and the nearby restaurants (walkable) in Cocoa. Super visit!

Sweet Spot at Strong Haven

Owner was wonderfully responsive. Location is perfect, right on the river and a 15 minute walk to Cocoa village. The sunrise from the property’s private pier/dock was beautiful. Excellent view of launches from Kennedy Space Center. The large front porch was beautiful and a great place to sit and relax.
