Satellite Beach Vacation Rentals

Satellite Beach is out of this world

Satellite Beach is a picturesque, seaside community situated on a barrier island, located on the Space Coast.  The approximately three square miles of land area is bordered by Patrick Air Force Base to the north, Indian Harbour Beach to the south, Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Banana River to the west.

When staying in one of our Satellite Beach vacation rentals instead of a traditional hotel, you’ll have much more space and privacy, plus cost savings when booking a property for a large group. Some of our Satellite Beach rentals even come with special amenities like a backyard pool, washer/dryer units, and bicycles. Whether you’re looking for a beach condo with amazing views, or a larger home for space for the entire family, you can find it on our site.

Climate

The Space Coast, which includes the Satellite Beach area, has a humid subtropical climate. The area gets an average of 53 inches of rain every year, while the average in the U.S. is 32 inches per year. Its rainy season is from May through October, so you'll need an umbrella for sure at that time of year. The other months of the year are essentially the area's dry season, a time of year when you will likely see an abundance of sunshine. Temperatures are moderate all year, with the summer the least comfortable because of high heat and humidity.

Top activities and attractions in Satellite Beach

Pelican Beach Park is one of Satellite Beach’s most visited beach parks and is open daily from 9 AM until sunset. The park is just a short drive from many area hotels that are popular with visitors. There’s ample and free onsite parking, making it not only convenient, but an inexpensive way to spend a day as well. Of course, the beach and surf are the park’s centerpieces, but there’s also a playground, beach volleyball courts, and covered pavilions.

Samsons Island is located between the Indian and Banana Rivers and is only accessible by boat; each Sunday, the city provides free ferry service from the mainland to the island. Those interested need to meet at the city’s fire department on South Patrick Drive at 12:30. Spaces are limited, so it’s best to arrive early. Once on the island, visitors will have a variety of activity options at their fingertips, like hiking, fishing, and bird-watching.

For a great way to enjoy the pristine beaches of the Space Coast while also learning about the uniqueness of the dune and beach system, Hightower Beach Park is the perfect spot. With signs located throughout, you'll walk away with a newfound appreciation for the area and why it's important to keep this preserved and well maintained. Parking is available, but feel free to bike or walk to the park.

This beach is just a bit north of Hangar Beach. Going south on A1A, it's the first beach you come to. There's plenty of parking, bathroom, showers. There's a good boardwalk that takes you through the trees and on to the beach. Great view of rocket launches.

Restaurants and Bars

Grab some grub on the go at The Green Turtle or eat out in the open air at Long Doggers, where the variety of hot dogs is both astounding and delicious. Your new favorite sub can be found at Little Phillies Cheesesteak, and Surfin’ Turtle is another must-stop after a long day on the beach. For breakfast, stop into Bagel 13 for a delicious sandwich or try the French toast at Banana River Cafe. Yum!

Grab a few drinks or hear live music at either Goombay’s Beachside or the fancier Cuizine. Satellite Beach comes alive when the sun goes down!
