About this property

*5min to KSC*10min to Cruise Ships*15min to Cocoa Beach*

For those who are contemplating the rv/travel trailer/camper/“tiny house” living lifestyle...
For those who want a UNIQUE overnight stay instead of a BORING HOTEL ROOM...
For those who need a quick/inexpensive place to sleep before their cruise...
For those visiting Florida and passing through...

THIS "VACATION IN AN RV" experience is JUST FOR YOU!!!

There is a master bedroom (with queen bed), a bunkhouse with 3 smaller/kid sized beds, and a futon/couch in there as well. There is also a couch in the living room area that converts into a bed. The dinette also converts into extra sleeping space.
The bathroom contains a compost toilet which is easy to use. Instructions are located on the bathroom sink.
The camper is located on the driveway of a residential lot. The neighborhood is quiet. It is located just 5min. away from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center so when there’s a rocket launch, you can watch it directly from outside. (Sometimes you can even feel the rumble). This is a shared space. The front yard is available for kids to play. The backyard is currently under construction so will be off-limits for the time being.

Another plus is that the location is prime if your visiting Florida. We are just 45min from Orlando, but you’ll be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We are also just 15min from the famous Cocoa Beach and 10min from Cape Canaveral where the cruise ships leave.

1 night stay

It was nice for the couple of hours of sleep needed before the cruise. I am glad my kids brought blankets because there were none on the bunk beds. But honestly we were there for 7 hours it did what we needed.

My wife and I unfortunately had to cancel the day of our stay due to an illness. We contacted the host and she was very kind! She understood and wished us well. Although we didn’t get to stay, we would recommend solely based off our interaction with the host. We hope to stay here in the near future!

So close to KSC / Good place for kids

I highly recommend this cabin to anyone! It’s just minutes away from Kennedy Space Center, and we had the amazing experience of watching a rocket launch right from outside the cabin.The bunk beds are best suited for kids or shorter adults, and the couch in the living room can also be turned into an extra bed for shorter adults. The owner is super nice and very responsive via text. Since they live in Titusville, they’re close by in case anything comes up during the day.As with any cabin stay, the toilet setup takes a little getting used to, but you’ll adjust after a couple of days. There’s also a treehouse and a swing out front, which is perfect if you’re traveling with kids. The area is very quiet at night—ideal for relaxing.It’s definitely a fun and unique place to stay!

Great stay and host was wonderful.

I must say this was an amazing place to stay. It was very clean and the host was amazing at responding to messages quickly. It was very convenient for us to get to the port. This is only my second VRBO but i must say it was the best for cleanliness and location for the port. We will definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends going on cruises.

Perfect first stay in an RV

We have always wanted to try staying in an RV and this was a perfect way to do it. Easy check in, super clean, very comfortable, excellent launching pad for visit to the Kennedy space center ;). Spent two nights here and loved it. Host is first rate.

Compost potty should be disclosed in listing

This is a small camper. The host was pleasant to work with and it’s close to Kennedy Space Center. It would have been sufficient enough had the host properly disclosed the compost potty. That means that there is no plumbing and there are instructions on the levers your need to pull to go number 1 or 2. We weren’t told of this until we were about to check in when the host was like “if that makes you uncomfortable, I suggest going when you are out and about.” It also makes the place stink. Other than that, it would have been good.

Clean and Quaint

Camper was in great clean shape and nice! Only downside is there is no plumbing hookup for the camper toilet, so it is just a composting toilet. That is our only dislike!

It was super close to Kennedy Space Center and spacious enough for our family of 5. Bathroom was tight for my over 6 ft husband but it was expected being its was a camper. Our children really enjoyed it a lot they had been wanting to try a camper for the longest time.

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Sosa

Host profile image
We are homeschooling family of 9! Yes, we have 7 kids. 🤪 Once upon a time we ALL lived in this travel trailer. We were fixing up the house on the property and it took longer than expected. The kids LOVED it. Parents couldn’t wait to move out! Too small!

Now, we are happy to provide this space for guests visiting this beautiful state of Florida!

Why they chose this property

Location! Close to KSC and to the Port.

What makes this property unique

We DIY basically everything from the ground up. We had fun doing it too! Learned a lot and made a ton of mistakes along the way. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!
