Summary: My whole family enjoyed this property! My son loved that we were just across the road from the river, and he spent quite a bit of his free time fishing. My daughter loved that she was able to have her own bedroom space and bathroom (huge plus for a preteen girl!). We loved the location as we were just a short walk or drive from anywhere se needed to go. Vivian was available for anything we needed for the duration of our stay. Highly recommend!

Summary: The house was perfect! The rooms were large yet cozy. The beds were comfy too. The only complaint I have is the pots and pans were not the greatest so we ate out more.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: Overall, we had a nice stay at StrongHaven. This was our 1st stay in a historic home - it was an interesting adventure for us! The showers were small, but that is normal for a historic home - just took some getting used to for us. We enjoyed being able to go down by the river to watch for dolphins - we had one morning where we saw multiple dolphins swimming by and playing - including a mom and baby. That was the best highlight of our trip - so cool to see dolphins in the wild :) It will be beautiful to just hang out on the pier, when the storm damage is fully repaired - crossing our fingers for you that everything goes smoothly with that.We loved the vibe of the front porch and the front porch swing.We did have an issue our first night, but Vivian was very responsive and worked quickly to take care of it. We greatly appreciated it.It was wonderful to take a quick walk downtown and visit the coffee shops. We enjoyed grabbing a coffee and a sweet treat. Had a great time visiting some of the local stores as well.We weWe were able to see the surfing Santas in Cocoa Beach on Christmas Eve Day - lots of people, but it was fun :)The home was well stocked with supplies in the kitchen. Plently of towels, etc for the bathrooms.We didn't have much luck finding beaches with lots of shells, but we did enjoy just hanging out and getting some sun. They were all easy to get to.We had a nice family Christmas vacation.It was nice awayhaoutsunshineiFlChristmas.

Summary: We loved the house. It’s very old but with modern bathrooms and kitchen appliances. Obviously somebody lived here recently. All the drawers are full and the laundry room etc has stuff in every space It’s really not a problem at all However there is no internet and my husband had a meeting so we had to go to Starbucks. Vivian really need to sort thst out. We didn’t use any of the rvs but did need WiFi On the whole a lovely stay with lovely views
