Historic Strong Haven a Southern Gem on Indian River -

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. Watch dolphins or manatees swim the river or listen to the cries of the osprey as they catch fish and eat in the tall pine tree right in front on the river. This is Florida at its natural best.

Wonderful House, great stay
The house was great. It was clean and well appointed. Comfortable places to sit, with plenty of seating, indoors and out. Perfect for people that needed a little space to spread out. It was close to a lot. Publix near by (by car). Spent time in Coco Beach Village. We even got to watch a SpaceX launch from the front yard. Next time we are going to use the BBQ. Thank you Vivian for a great stay. Just stay off the pier. Hurricanes really took a toll on it.

Historic House
This historic house is charming and cozy, it felt like staying in a New England home combine with the southern vibe of the tropics! The property is located in an attractive and quiet neighborhood, still close to the action of the Cocoa Village community. The balcony was the perfect setting for our family and friends gathering for drinks, appetizers, and conversations along with memories revivals; all this while enjoying the relaxing views of nature and the river. The house was clean, beds were comfortable with soft sheets. Each floor had an ac/heater unit and it worked perfectly to keep the right temperature. Kitchen well equipped with all kind of utensils, pots, pans, 2 coffee makers, toaster etc. I would book this property again.

NE family vacation
There was a mixup and the house wasn’t cleaned when we got there. However Vivian was apologetic, made it right, and the cleaning crew came as soon as it was convenient for us. The house was comfortable and nicely decorated. Our family absolutely loved learning the history about this house from books and information in the binder. We had a great time fishing on the dock and our boys caught lots of anole lizards, small crabs, fish, and even a horseshoe crab!

Strong Haven...Wow!
Our multi-generational family came for a family reunion in Cocoa. Homey and nostalgic, curious and fascinating, comfy and convenient, even toys for the little one, Strong Haven held appeal for all of us. From fishing early in the morning to sitting on the hugh porch late into the evening enjoying the river view after a trip to the beach or our reunion activities, we loved it! Strong Haven could be a destination itself, not just a place to stay and we would love to come back. Thanks, Vivien! S. Green Denver,CO

Creepy.
This is one of the creepiest places I have ever seen. My companion and I decided it was gonna be a hard pass after initial inspection. It looks like a horror movie set and the pictures online do not represent this at all. I felt as though we were being watched from the moment we pulled into the place. No window treatments, odd lighting choices, mirrors on mirrors an odd slanted room. I felt like there were cameras or something watching. I mean I was expecting an old place. I have stayed and lived in many old homes many over 100 years old but I have never had the feeling this place exuded. Needless to say we stayed elsewhere. Caveat Emptor. That being said, to each their own. You might love it.

This property is just what you see in the listing. It was like walking into a warm hug. The porch was all you could want, screened in at one end for those buggy nights. It’s on a quiet street, close to everything. We walked into the cutest chilliest town. 15 minutes from the beach and great food. Perfect for a large family with everything you could possibly need. If life takes me back to Cocoa I’ll do my best to to get this awesome hime again. Did I mention that it was AWESOME!
