My family of five truly enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. Check in was smooth and Chad was quick and easy to communicate with. The location of the house is something that cannot be beat. We were able to walk to the beach within just a couple of minutes and even see a rocket launch at midnight. Our family will always treasure the memories we have made during our stay. Thank you for everything!

We had a pleasant experience at this property. Its proximity to the beach was delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our walks downtown to explore the coffee shops and restaurants. The only minor inconvenience we encountered was the inability to secure our luggage prior to check-in.

We had a wonderful stay! The property was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our trip. The location was perfect and made it easy to enjoy everything the area had to offer.We did experience a small issue with the AC and the door, but Chad was incredibly responsive and helpful. He replied almost immediately and worked quickly to resolve everything, which was very impressive and greatly appreciated.Overall, this was a fantastic stay. The home was exactly what we were looking for, and Chad was an outstanding host. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

We had 5 guests. It was clean and functional. 3 full bedrooms and 2 full baths were perfect for our group. Within a couple miles of shopping & beaches. The geckos were complimentary house guests too. Furniture needs updating. Hard for old folks to get off the couch. Fully functioning house.

About the host

Hosted by Chad Morin

Host profile image
I'm Chad, owner of the house that I still use to vacation and relax in. I grew up in this house and we are now 3 generations of Cocoa Beach natives, and invite you to enjoy beautiful Cocoa Beach in my home as my guest!

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Station 450! My Grandmother was part of the Space Program working at Partick Space Force Base (then called the Eastern Guided Missile Test Range) in the Tech-Lab helping develop the ICBM's and Manned Space Rockets sharing offices with all the top scientists. My Grandfather worked for Pan-American who had all the contracts developing the missiles for the US Air Force, the house has been host to several Astronauts, parties and dinners all related to the Space Race. My mother and aunt grew up in this house, I grew up in the house and now my daughters and grandchildren will be able to visit the house and keep it in the family.

I have renovated the house to give it the feel of a mix of a Tropical Resort with clean lines and simplicity, while still feeling comfortable and holding on to the rich family and local history.
