4 Bedroom House in Highland Park, Cocoa

Relax on the front porch swing while enjoying the view of the beautiful Indian River. Enjoy the river breeze while sipping your morning coffee & watching the sun rise over the river and birds catching their morning fish or sip a glass of wine on the veranda as the Riverboat Queen goes by in the evening. Fish from the river deck or watch missles go up from Cape Canaveral situated right across the river. Enjoy the short stroll or bike along the river road to historic Cocoa Village. In the village enjoy boutiques, restaurants, outdoor jazz, and special events. Only 8 miles or about 15 minutes from world famous Cocoa Beach, Canaveral Pier & Ron Jon Surf shop. 45 minutes along the Beach Line HWY 528 to Orlando tourist attractions yet away from the crowds and traffic. Spend a day farther north in historic St Augustine or Daytona Beach. This historic Craftsman style home has all the southern charm of days gone by yet all the conveniences you will need to have a wonderful vacation. If you are looking for somewhere to make memories with your family and feel the blessings of a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere yet minutes away from sunshine activites, then Strong Haven is for you. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, front veranda and screened porch, deck over the river, fully equipped kitchen, large dining room as well as breakfast room gives everyone room to enjoy their vacation.

Summary: This 100-year-old home sits just 50 feet from the Indian River, with a large front porch that’s perfect for mornings and evenings by the water. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the home feels both historic and comfortable, with modern updates like excellent air conditioning.The amenities feel thoughtfully collected over time, giving the home a warm, eclectic feel. We even found pieces that reminded us of family heirlooms.The dock is accessible but weathered, so it’s best to look it over before use, especially with kids. Accessibility was also better than expected for a home this age — the back door has a gentle slope and only a couple of steps, which made it easier for our walker-using traveler.The host was responsive and clearly cares about the home. Overall, it’s a comfortable and welcoming place to enjoy the river and the charm of a century-old house.
