Seriously the BEST zoo! So interactive, easy walking/pushing wheelchairs and strollers, etc. You walk right among the kangaroos and feed gorgeous birds - love this zoo so much, up close and personal and the animals are sooo well cared for. on a hot day take the kids swimsuits, there are splash pools!!

WILD PEACOCKS roaming the streets in droves!
Why a peacock bedroom? We fell in love with feeding the wild peacocks in Cape Canaveral - drive around the area of Eberwein Drive - beautiful animals!
According to locals, the Eberwein family lived between Port Canaveral and what is now the Villages of Seaport. In fact a street is actually named after them (Eberwein Drive) at the northern edge of Cape Canaveral. They had the peafowl among many farm animals. The family moved in 1986 and abandoned the peafowls.

CHURCH
We just love East Coast Christian Center - great worship, always a great message. Often have Saturday night services so you can sleep in on Sunday vacation time!
Samgöngur
Biking and kayaking
We have bikes for your use. Walmart is a short bike ride away (but we are on a quiet dead end street!). we cross Banana River and bike in the quiet community streets just across the road - flat and easy for little ones. We have Kayaks available (for an additional fee) for your use - put them in anywhere along Sykes Creek. The dolphins swim along side you in the early evenings - around 5:00 pm!! So fun (there are gators though).
