Launch view

What a cozy little houseboat! Walk to the restaurant and close to everything! Perfect spot to view a launch from Cape Canaveral! Worth every penny!

New Year’s Eve

The overall stay was good. The inside was small but very welcoming, the only issue I had was the toilet had no door to it. The deck was great to sit and watch the fireworks. The dolphins restaurant is probably only a block away walkable.

Nice stay on houseboat!

Super fun idea! Be aware of a few drawbacks. The toilet is near the entrance door with no door or partition. There is a public toilet nearby, but was locked. If we had access to that our stay would have been near perfect. I was aware of the toilet issue from another review, but didnt plan to have belly issues while there. There is noise from the freeway. Check in and out are tighter than typical. Price is right. Would be great for a launch id think!
