Top Rocket Garden Hotel Reviews

Cape Crossing Resort & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"It was beautiful"

Riverfront directly across from Cape Canaveral Launch Site

10/10 Excellent

"A nice spacious home with an incredible dock. We enjoyed the dock every night of the stay and saw stingrays, puffer fish, manatee, dolphins, a shark and many birds. It was very nice waking up with the sunrise on the water."

NASA Space X Indian River Wildlife.

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for a Space Camp family!We looked all over Titusville and Cape Canaveral to find a quiet place that would be convenient for taking our child to Space Camp at Kennedy Space Center every day, where we'd have a good view if a launch occurred, and a view of the water. And boy did we find all three, with a nice little fishing pier to boot!"NASA Space X Indian River Wildlife" is a wonderful place for a short term stay. A lovely view of the Indian River, a nice swimming pool, and overall lovely accommodations. It's about 15 minutes to KSC and has a perfect, unobstructed view of launches. We were able to enjoy an early morning SpaceX launch from the comfort of the place's deck (our first... so cool!). We also enjoyed Cape Canaveral's beach one day, only about 30 minutes drive from the apartment. Also, we were out fishing on the pier early each morning and caught catfish and a hermit crab (don't ask). There is a little family of dolphins that hangs around the pier, too. Not to mention the bioluminescence at night. The only thing we missed was having a washer and dryer, but for a short stay that wasn't a problem. Also, if stairs are difficult for you, be aware that there are two flights of stairs to reach the apartment.Those are very minor considerations, though. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay, and we'd happily give it two enthusiastic thumbs up!"

Dolphins Vacation Rental

8/10 Good

"The studio suite condo room was nice and the bed comfy. The restaurant/ bar was terrific to walk to. The pool area was a bit tired, and much of the landscaping dead in July from the cold weather in Feb. The pool was a big part of why we were there, so I bring it up, as it seemed forgotten. The room entrance and patio doors were both frosted glass so both natural light in am, and building lights in pm blasted us. A room darkening curtain or shade would be helpful."

Florida Space Coast Waterfront Retreat - Family & Pet Friendly - Sleeps up to 15

10/10 Excellent

"Really wonderful property with gorgeous water views and a screened in pool deck to watch it all from - caught a fantastic view of the rocket launch the week we stayed there. Loved the convenient location, the floor plan and the elbow room! Hosts did a great job on communication - available for any questions and they had thoughtfully placed signs plus a welcome binder that told me everything I needed to know about the area and how to use everything in the house. The pups enjoyed their welcome gifts tremendously - and they give 2 paws up to the Sand Point Park and the Moonlight Drive In (ice cream!!!) just up the road! This property is on my favorites list for my next stay!"

Wren Isle: Real Florida Riverfront, Rocket Launches & Dolphins at the Dock

10/10 Excellent

"The house was spacious, beautiful and made for interesting conversations of the travels the owners had over the years with the unique decor. The house had everything we needed. Our host Larry was a delight We got to fish, saw dolphins, stingrays and a shark. Even a rocket launch. The 4th of July fireworks along the coast were amazing to view from the gazebo. Kennedy Space Center is minutes from the house and was very interesting."
