Some vacation rental companies are quite content to pick a town and stay, offering a limited selection of properties in an even more limited geographic area, but those companies are not Happy Palm Stays. Our love for the Space Coast and our desire to provide lodging for visitors who are about to fall in love as well makes us eager to branch out, to set up shop in all the areas that make this part of Florida special, ensuring that whatever our guests want to see during their travels, they can choose to stay nearby. This guide to where you can stay with Happy Palm Stays will also give you a little more information about the towns and villages that play a huge part in making your Space Coast vacation one that will never be forgotten.
Satellite Beach
Named for its proximity to Cape Canaveral, Satellite Beach is a barrier island which started out, like most of the towns in the area, as a community for the employees of the aerospace workers at Cape Canaveral and Patrick Air Force Base, soon to be renamed to Patrick Space Force Base. Today, travelers flock to its pristine beaches, explore the artifacts at the Wizard of Oz Museum, and of course, plan trips to the nearby Kennedy Space Center to spend a day with your head in the stars.
Indian Harbour Beach
Indian Harbour Beach is a town of parks so beautiful you will want to visit them all and because it is also home to Casanova Beach Park a dog friendly beach where your fur children can frolic in the waves, you may want to consider renting one of our pet friendly Indian Harbour Beach rentals and bringing your entire family along for the ride. The motto of this wonderful town is “The Greatest Little City in Florida!” and of course, when you choose to stay with Happy Palm Stays, you will be staying in “The Greatest Vacation Rentals in Florida!” so it is definitely a match made in heaven.
Cocoa Beach
Home to the world famous Ron Jon’s Surf Shop and the world famous surfer Kelly Slater, Cocoa Beach is the perfect spot to learn a new skill, with one of its nicknames being “The Surfing Capital of the East Coast.” Guests may want to spend some time at Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier, shopping, dining, and fishing off the pier. As a matter of fact, you may find you could enjoy your entire vacation without leaving the pier, but don’t do that. There’s so much more to see and our Cocoa Beach condos for rent are waiting to welcome you home.
Cape Canaveral
Blending the old, with Ponce De Leon giving Cape Canaveral its name (Cabo de Canaveral, meaning Cape of Weeds, and the new, our town is perhaps best known for being the premiere rocket launch spot in the world, your adventures in Cape C are sure to be memorable ones! Our Cape Canaveral vacation rentals are beautiful condos, many offering stunning water views and all providing comforts that will make you feel right at home.
Melbourne Beach
The beach town vibe makes every visitor yearn to make Melbourne Beach their new backyard, and whether you are spending your days at the beach, the art galleries, or learning about sea turtles at the Sea Turtle Preservation Society, you too will understand the feelings of all who visited before you! Happy Palm Stays features both condos and stand alone Melbourne Beach vacation rentals in this part of the Space Coast and most will be of the waterfront variety.
Merritt Island
Merritt Island is a study in contrast with the Kennedy Space Center gracefully sharing its acreage with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, ensuring that your vacation experience will be one that appeals to both sides of your brain. Guests staying in our Merritt Island vacation rentals are sure to have a ringside seat for any launches that take place during their stay.
Vero Beach
Offering beaches that are pristine and surprisingly uncrowded, Vero Beach is a lovely town famous for golf, water sports, and its welcoming vibe, something that is reflected in our Happy Palm Stays Vero Beach escapes.
Sebastian Beach
Florida is known as much for its beautiful beaches as it is for the shipwrecks that litter the ground under the Atlantic, making it a favorite place for treasure hunters. The Mel Fisher Treasure Museum in Sebastian Beach comes from one of the states best treasure hunters and offers a peek into the world of treasure hunting.
Fort Pierce
Our final town, Fort Pierce, is located on the Treasure Coast side of Florida, not the Space Coast, but we think you will still love it just as much. Offering a long history that ensures that many of its older buildings are haunted, guests love the small-town vibe and its will to survive, having suffered damage in two separate hurricanes in 2004 and 2005.
