Top Rocket Garden Hotel Reviews

At the Center of it All!

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay, and it was so convenient to everything in town."

Courtyard by Marriott Titusville Kennedy Space Center

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the large, festive pool, which is stocked with towels and staff on site. And we loved the rooftop bar."

Cape Crossing Resort & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"great place! stay here over a regular hotel for sure!"

NASA Space X Indian River Wildlife.

10/10 Excellent

"This was an excellent property. Comparable price to hotels in the area but a much quieter and private experience. Easy access to the nearby park to watch a launch and an inviting pool to relax in. Interior was clean and well appointed and a kitchen with all of the useful essentials. Great food options all within a minute or so drive and a few minutes drive into downtown Titusville where more options await. This would be a great spot for a family that want to do the space center or any number of wildlife refuge exploring opportunities. Solid 5 stars from me!"

Riverfront directly across from Cape Canaveral Launch Site

10/10 Excellent

"The layout of the house is a bit eclectic but worked great with what we needed Great views And nice to have a Publix just minutes away"

Chase Hammock Lake House

8/10 Good

"Overall the property was great, and a wonderful fit for our needs. The description could use a little more details. But it was clean, a good value and the location was great! We had to at Kennedy Space Center by 5am and the house was 10 minutes away!!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"My family all loved the place."

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!"

Private Backyard Oasis: Cocoa Family Home!

10/10 Excellent

"The house was nice, clean, well stocked with essentials (spices, pots/pans, dishes, etc.). The pool was smaller than we expected (the pictures make it look bigger), but was fine & clean. There are cameras around the pool equipment, which is understandable, but we found the cameras on the pool deck itself to be a little unsettling."
