About this property

Historic Strong Haven a Southern Gem on Indian River -

Relax on the front porch swing while enjoying the view of the beautiful Indian River. Enjoy the river breeze while sipping your morning coffee & watching the sun rise over the river and birds catching their morning fish or sip a glass of wine on the veranda as the Riverboat Queen goes by in the evening. Fish from the river deck or watch missles go up from Cape Canaveral situated right across the river. Enjoy the short stroll or bike along the river road to historic Cocoa Village. In the village enjoy boutiques, restaurants, outdoor jazz, and special events. Only 8 miles or about 15 minutes from world famous Cocoa Beach, Canaveral Pier & Ron Jon Surf shop. 45 minutes along the Beach Line HWY 528 to Orlando tourist attractions yet away from the crowds and traffic. Spend a day farther north in historic St Augustine or Daytona Beach. This historic Craftsman style home has all the southern charm of days gone by yet all the conveniences you will need to have a wonderful vacation. If you are looking for somewhere to make memories with your family and feel the blessings of a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere yet minutes away from sunshine activites, then Strong Haven is for you. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, front veranda and screened porch, deck over the river, fully equipped kitchen, large dining room as well as breakfast room gives everyone room to enjoy their vacation. Watch dolphins or manatees swim the river or listen to the cries of the osprey as they catch fish and eat in the tall pine tree right in front on the river. This is Florida at its natural best.

Historic House
This historic house is charming and cozy, it felt like staying in a New England home combine with the southern vibe of the tropics! The property is located in an attractive and quiet neighborhood, still close to the action of the Cocoa Village community. The balcony was the perfect setting for our family and friends gathering for drinks, appetizers, and conversations along with memories revivals; all this while enjoying the relaxing views of nature and the river. The house was clean, beds were comfortable with soft sheets. Each floor had an ac/heater unit and it worked perfectly to keep the right temperature. Kitchen well equipped with all kind of utensils, pots, pans, 2 coffee makers, toaster etc. I would book this property again.
