This is an amazing relaxing Island home has been that the house has been completely renovated, plenty of space, speaking of space there is a very great possibility of seeing a launch from Kennedy Space Center which is also located on Merritt Island. See dolphins and manatee in the canal behind the house at times. 8 min. to the Beach, 10 min. to Port Canaveral for a day cruise, fishing or an extended cruise. If you are from Portugal or Spain you can even take a transatlantic cruise right into Cape Canaveral 10 min from my home. It is 45 Min. to Orlando to visit with Micky and Minnie Mouse, at Disney World, Universal or the, aqua parks. Swimming in the back yard your choice pool or canal.

We were very appreciative of Patricia opening her home for us. We spent quite a bit of time out back with fishing poles. The back deck has a nice breeze and good shade, especially as the day is winding down. We enjoyed being outside while visiting. All of our kids said they slept well, and the beds were very comfortable. Communication was good with Pat, overall and she was very kind :)
We’ve done many exchanges in Florida but the one we did with Pat was by far the best of them all.
Her home is so cozy, relaxing and you immediately feel welcomed and at home. It’s beautifully laid out and the deck overlooking the canal is just beyond amazing.
Pat is a lovely person and she has been really nice to communicate with.
We would definitely exchange with Pat again!

Chelce and her family were good people to have in my home, they communicated with me before and during their stay. The left my home clean and tidy so I would recommend them to anyone as their guests.
Julie and Joseph were my very first swaps. The exchange was done with the globe and I am so happy they enjoyed my home. They were very easy to deal with and communicated well with me since I was already overseas. I would have them again as many times as they wanted to stay and very much feel that others should want them to. My house will be offered to others because mainly of the ease of the transaction with this couple and strongly suggest that you open your homes to them also.

This is not the back of a hotel this is my backyard where you can sit and have a margarita while listening to music in the pool.
Since NASA is located on Merritt Island you will probably see, feel and experience a launch, we now have 5 space agencies that launch from here! Yes you feel it the house vibrates since it's so close.
You will feel pampered in this extra large Master Suite. This king size bed will give you the best sleep ever! It is the most comfortable bed on the market, but be careful I can control it from my phone!! No kidding, Firmer or softer.
Awake to the view of the water every morning or slip out and take a swim before retiring for the evening.
Why be looking at tile walls when you can watch the water, and birds while you shower
A Super comfortable bed in EVERY bedroom, You will not sleep this well at home! This is a queen bed with a attached full bathroom that adjoins to the gest living room/extra bed room.
Now it's a 2nd living room with attached full bathroom, but look at the next picture.......
ABBRA CADABRA!! Now it another bedroom with attached full bathroom!
The only thing that has not been completed on this beautiful home is the landscaping, working on the ideas though.
