Peacock Harbor was a great home away from home. Located about 1/2 mile from Cape Canaveral Beach, this rental property offered just about everything we could hope for at a reasonable price given short location from the ocean and highways. Located less than an hour from Orlando, the location of this rental routinely proved hard to beat during our stay. Grocery, liquor, and other shopping were only blocks away. The Cocoa Beach pier only a few minutes beyond that.
We were pleasantly surprised to find a beach cart, chair, beach umbrella, beach toys and towels, boogie boards, and beach bikes for the adults. Beach parking was easily available in the mornings, but plan to walk or ride in the afternoon. We settled into a routing of dropping off the family and gear in the beach cart from our car, driving home, and then simply riding a bike back walking back to the beach. It's less than a 10 minute walk in sandy flip flops.
Rocket launches were easily visible from the front porch, or Cape Canaveral beach. We cannot recommend trying to catch a launch in person, as the sights and sounds were incredible at that close of a distance. Definitely a bucket list item for the space afficionados among us!
After a long day at the beach we could easily clean up outside with a shower (you will be sandy if coming from the beach), and then settle in for an evening swim in the pool. Usually while enjoying the backyard grill and evening shade. Indoors provided just enough room to enjoy some quiet, or kick off some family games with air hockey, table tennis, or darts.
The peacocks were always entertaining, curious, and friendly. The kids loved them and provided hours of entertainment. Thankfully the seemed to bed down through the evening hours, so they weren't keeping anyone awake. One male in particular was incredibly entertaining during the day, constantly dancing and strutting for attention (he became known as Pretty Boy, or PB). The neighborhood was quiet, clean, and well maintained. If a house near the beach with a private pool, entertaining wildlife, and easy access to Cape Canaveral or Cocoa Beach is your jam, look no further!
The property hosts were quick to respond, always available, and more than happy to help us settle in! We look forward to returning to the area in the future, and enjoying all this rental has to offer near one of the best beaches on Space Coast!
