Kennedy Space Center & KSC Visitor Complex
45 minutes north of the house. Beyond work, guests routinely take day trips to KSC for the launches, the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, and behind-the-scenes bus tours of the Vehicle Assembly Building.
Extended-Stay Rentals in the Space Coast
Florida's Space Coast — Brevard County — is the industrial and cultural corridor stretching from Titusville and Kennedy Space Center in the north down through Cocoa, Melbourne, and Palm Bay. It's home to over 60,000 aerospace and defense jobs (Kennedy Space Center, SpaceX, Blue Origin, L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, Collins Aerospace) and one of the fastest-growing healthcare systems in the state. If you're headed here for a 3-to-9-month contract, project rotation, or relocation, our furnished four-bedroom beach house is a purpose-built Space Coast basecamp.
The house sits in Indialantic, on the barrier island roughly at the geographic center of the Space Coast — putting KSC and Cape Canaveral 40 minutes north, Palm Bay 20 minutes south, and downtown Melbourne 10 minutes west. Most Space Coast rental listings on Airbnb are inland condos or small apartments; ours is a genuine beach house with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private hot tub, spa bathrooms, a game room, a fenced pet-friendly yard, and a full driveway. Rates are $4,250/month for 3–6 month stays and $4,500 for 3-month bookings, all-inclusive.
For aerospace contractors on rotation, defense engineers on temporary assignments, travel nurses at Health First hospitals, and remote workers escaping colder climates, the Space Coast is one of the most livable extended-stay destinations in Florida — warm winters, real beaches, launch culture, and an actual working economy that keeps things interesting well beyond the tourist zones.
Why the Space Coast
Everything You Need Within Minutes
Central to every major employer
L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, Collins Aerospace, Health First, KSC, and Patrick SFB all within a 15–45 minute drive.
Real barrier-island living
Not an inland condo — actual beach access, ocean sound from the patio, and 3-minute walk to the Atlantic.
Launch viewing from the front yard
The coast bends just right — SpaceX, ULA and NASA launches are frequently visible directly from the property.
Melbourne International Airport 20 min
Non-stop flights to major hubs; convenient for weekend commutes home during long assignments.
Health First / Holmes Regional 10 min
For traveling nurses on 13-week Space Coast contracts, this is one of the fastest hospital commutes on the island.
Direct owner booking
No Airbnb service fees, no property manager delays — same-day answers for extension requests.

What to Know Before You Stay
Cocoa Beach & Port Canaveral
30–40 minutes north via A1A. Home of Ron Jon Surf Shop, cruise-ship departures from Port Canaveral, and some of the best pier fishing on the East Coast.
Melbourne & Palm Bay Aerospace Corridor
10–20 minutes west and southwest. L3Harris Technologies is Brevard County's largest employer; Northrop Grumman and Collins Aerospace round out the trio. Melbourne's downtown along New Haven Avenue is the after-work destination.
Sebastian Inlet & the South Beaches
35 minutes south. One of Florida's best surf breaks and least crowded beach parks — a favorite escape for extended-stay guests looking to leave the aerospace crowd behind for a Saturday.
Common Questions About the Space Coast Rentals
Where on the Space Coast is the property?
In Indialantic, on the barrier island at the geographic center of the Space Coast — roughly halfway between KSC to the north and Sebastian Inlet to the south.
Is it usable as corporate housing for aerospace contractors?
Yes. We routinely host contractor teams and defense engineers on 3-to-9-month rotations. Direct invoicing is available for corporate accounts.
Can I watch launches from the property?
Frequently, yes. The coast bends just right — many SpaceX, ULA and NASA launches are visible from the front yard or from the beach a block away.
Is this a better fit than a Cocoa Beach rental?
For most extended stays, yes. Cocoa Beach is more commercial and further from healthcare and downtown Melbourne. Indialantic gives you the same barrier-island feel with faster access to essentials.
The Space Coast rewards people who stay a while — the launches, the year-round warm water, the working aerospace economy, and the barrier-island lifestyle all reveal themselves over months, not weekends. If you're headed here for a project, contract, or relocation, we'll make sure your basecamp is as comfortable as the assignment demands.
