Rocket & Nature Lovers! Vintage European Cottage in a lush Florida Setting

The best of ALL worlds...including outer space!
Vintage charm abounds in this roomy, 2-story mini-chateau. Set on 3 ac. of botanical, park-like grounds with a soothing tropical waterfall and a sky-high view of awesome rocket launches.

Updated but still definitely quirky (not a modern, granite countertop kitchen industrial-style loft) and really not a cookie-cutter cottage...it was the original house on the property before a NASA couple built the adjacent main house. An eclectic mix of boho + collected antiques gives all the warm fuzzies...and a vintage clawfoot tub keeps you soaking in them.

There are 2 bedrooms with beds in each + a full-sized mattress & air mattress that can be used for additional sleepers. There’s a bathroom on each level and washer & dryer upstairs.

It's a WOW! from the driveway and whether you're soaking in the sunshine streaming through the French doors that open to the Juliette balcony or chilling around a little fire in the fire pit, many memories will be yours for the collecting.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Indian River Preserve Golf Club. The cottage includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchen, washing machine, and 2 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Services include babysitting
  • Onsite recreation includes a playground
  • 5 minutes by car from Cape Canaveral National Cemetery and 7 minutes from Indian River Preserve Golf Club
As a guest of this cottage, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and local meal delivery service. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Scottsmoor cottage is smoke free.

Quiet and Convenient
This quaint cottage is in a great location and very quiet neighborhood, perfectly situated for our photography/nature excursions to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Orlando Wetlands. We also paid our respects at the nearby Cape Canaveral National Cemetery. The bed was super comfy, the large walk-in shower a plus for a bad hip, we spent a couple of warm afternoons on the back patio, and it was nice to have the washer/dryer. Some of the basics (pots, oven ware) in the kitchen were a bit worn. We would stay here again and recommend to friends visiting the area.

Hidden Gem!
Wonderful, quaint and quiet! Our family stayed over Thanksgiving and had such a good time! There are great local businesses to explore; from food to a flea market, from Edgewater to Titusville. And don't forget the Refuge. Our host was awesome, the house was clean and comfortable and we are coming back!!

A “Peace” of Paradise
We cannot say enough wonderful things about this cottage. It was the perfect landing spot as we explored New, Smyrna Beach and Blue Spring State Park. From campfires to rocket ships, it was an experience we will never forget!

Peaceful Getaway
So quiet and such an interesting historical home. The decor was cool and we loved how quirky the property was. My husband really appreciated how he couldn't hear any traffic. And he has traffic radar. We loved that we could have our dog there, and he had a great time exploring the large yard. We had a lovely stay, thank you!
