What Is the Space Coast?
We figure it makes sense to start out by defining the two coasts, and the Space Coast, located on the eastern side of our state, is one characterized by its contribution to the space race that took place here decades ago. We have the Patrick Space Force Base, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and a variety of small towns that were built to house the families of all those who contributed to rockets and space stations and everything related to the stars. Today, there are still plenty of workers contributing to even more exciting space adventures, but white sand beaches, warm temperatures year round, and the opportunity to actually see rocket launches, sometimes from the balconies of our Happy Palm Stays Space Coast sanctuaries, attracts travelers from all over the world. And we are happy to provide the restful retreats that will help those travelers recharge their batteries in between rocket launches and beach days.
The Towns of the Space Coast
Far too many vacation rental companies choose one town to do their business in, focusing on only what is within city limits of that one town, but because we are everywhere, we believe we are a much more well-rounded vacation rental company. We may not be in every town on the Space Coast, but we are in most, giving our guests the chance to sleep near the places they explored in the daylight hours. Below, we have listed the towns we offer vacation homes in and have provided a brief description of what you may expect when you choose one of those retreats.
Cocoa Beach
With the exception of Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach may be the most well-known of Space Coast towns and our Florida retreats located within its city limits are sure to please. Spacious, bright, and ever so welcoming, guests will feel at home within their first steps inside. These are family homes, located in family neighborhoods, and what’s not to love about that? Our properties in Cocoa Beach may be waterfront ones, offering boat docks and large backyards, many featuring crystal-clear pools and outdoor grilling areas, ensuring that a family barbecue may be one of your favorite activities.
Cape Canaveral
Cape Canaveral is the hub of the Space Coast, being the spot where many of our nation’s most well known space programs have taken place and the homes we offer here will make you believe in love at first sight. These thoroughly modern escapes are chock full of luxury amenities and inside you may find steam showers and deep slipper tubs in the bathrooms, premium king size beds topped with the softest of linens in the bedrooms, and all the wonderful extras that we consider standard.
Merritt Island
To be perfectly honest, Merritt Island is pretty much landlocked, with half of its acreage being taken up by the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and the other half harboring the Merritt Island National Refuge. But, because we do what we do, we have managed to establish at least a few rentals on the island, homes that are spacious, bright, and welcoming. Feel at home as you relax on large patios overlooking the canal, sun yourself while lounging on loungers that surround the community pools, and relax. Florida is for forgetting that real life and real life troubles exist!
Indian Harbour Beach
Our properties in Indian Harbour Beach will more than likely be a part of a bigger resort community and although they may not offer private pools in the backyards, they will have access to community ones. They may also feature putting greens, firepits, and outdoor kitchens, encouraging guests to stay in, grill their catch of the day, and dine at patio tables while the sun sets, turning the sky into a fiery and colorful extravaganza!
Melbourne Beach
Melbourne Beach is another charming community on the Space Coast and our homes we offer here reflect the vibe of the town. Located in tree lined communities and filled with comfort and a welcoming vibe, kitchens may have center islands, fully equipped laundry rooms will enable guests to pack light and leave heavy (all of the souvenirs you purchase will definitely weigh down your luggage!) and because many are close to the Indian River, they may even provide a couple of colorful kayaks for guest to utilize during their stay.
What Is the Treasure Coast?
If you continue on down the East Coast, once you exit the Space Coast you will bump right into the Treasure Coast, so named for all the shipwrecks that occurred in the treacherous waters that border the coast, shipwrecks that involved Spanish treasure ships and took place many centuries ago. The waters are much safer today due to modern technology and lighthouses, and treasure hunters like to visit to search for sunken goodies, and many travelers choose Happy Palms Stays for their comfortable adventures on the Treasure Coast.
Sebastian
The homes we offer in Sebastian, Florida are more traditional than others with many offering screened in lanais that help keep pools clean and “yards” critter free. The vibe in these properties is vintage Florida and we’re not talking about the amenities or furnishings, those are all 100% modern and updated. Palm trees may sway in the breeze, gardens may be filled with birds of paradise and other colorful and fragrant flowers, and supersized televisions may entice guests to spend a rainy night at home watching movies, in much the same ways they would at home.
Fort Pierce
The origins of Fort Pierce date back to the Seminole Wars and its history is another quality that draws people to vacation there, especially when they learn that, yes, Happy Palm Stays does offer properties here as well. Surprisingly modern for a town as old as this one, guests may find private pools, locations that are just minutes away from the beach, and a tranquil serenity that reminds them of all the reasons they chose our properties for their Florida sanctuary.
