Brevard County Recreation
To say that Florida is about being outdoors is an understatement. Some parts of the SunBelt seem to be mostly about air conditioning and a quick dash outdoors to go to the supermarket. Central Coastal Florida isn’t like that; sure it’s hot in the Summertime, but that doesn’t get in the way of things, like it does in, say, Texas or Arizona or Nevada.
And this greater Melbourne area, in particular, is phenomenal. Consider, for a moment, its sheer number and variety of recreational opportunities:
200 Parks, 21 Nature Trails
28 Golf Courses, 23 Tennis Courts
37 Boat Ramps
72 miles of beaches
13 Ocean beach parks
3 Full service campgrounds
11 Ocean Surf fishing park areas
To see a complete list fo to the site below
http://www.brevardparks.com/parks/index.htm
If you think about this for a moment, it resolves into a pretty interesting list of things to do outdoors in Melbourne and Brevard County:
Beaching, in all its variety
Fishing-saltwater and freshwater
Boating-Ocean or River Florida Fishing Guides by Lagooner
Diving-Ocean wrecks
Surfing-We have some of the best surfing in the state.
Hiking
Bike riding – most residential areas are enforced 25 mph speed limits
Birding-world class, lots of stops on the migration flyway too
Photography
Windsurfing
Kayaking—there are good rental locations and lots of places to launch.
And besides the Beaches, which I’ve mentioned already, there are myriad and wonderful other places to visit. Among these are:
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge
Turkey Creek sanctuary
Another place you'll want to visit is the citizen-built Brevard Zoo. This is a very well run, clean facility with both local and African wildlife.
And for environmentally based outings consider the dolphin-watch cruises on the Indian River Lagoon.
Other outdoor wonderlands--in addition to the miles and miles of beaches (especially the pristine sands owned and monitored by the federal government)--include the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, the Canaveral National Seashore, Erna Nixon Park, the Turkey Creek Sanctuary, the Ulamay Wildlife Sanctuary, the Enchanted Forest and the Sebastian Inlet State Recreation Area. Coon's Run Wildlife Sanctuary in Rockledge offers rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife at its privately operated, non-profit center.
The area on the barrier island along the Atlantic Ocean from Holland Spessard Park south of Melbourne Beach to Sebastian Inlet, at the county's southern border, is the largest sea turtle nesting area in the United States. Between May and August, Loggerheads, Greens and Leatherbacks come ashore to lay their eggs. You can walk the beach in the morning and see as many as 20 new turtle crawls from the night before, or you can sign up for one of the frequent nighttime turtle conservation tours and watch the egg-laying yourself. Hatchlings that survive--and few do in spite of serious efforts to protect them--struggle back to the sea during September and October.
Good Sports
Surfing is big here. Several tournaments occur annually in Cocoa Beach. Sebastian Inlet's Monster Hole and Spanish House challenge even experienced surfers. One "don't miss" spot on the surf circuit is Ron Jon's Surf Shop, a Cocoa Beach institution. Originally a small surf shop with several boards and a few T-shirts for sale, it's now a 24-hours-a-day merchandising palace complete with amenities like a fountain and a glass-encased elevator in addition to every conceivable retail item that can carry a Ron Jon logo, including thousands and thousands of T-shirts.
Fishing--especially the saltwater variety--is popular with locals and vacationers. Sport fishermen catch mackerel, sailfish, marlin, wahoo and tuna from Brevard County waters. Marinas, boats, airboats, charter fishing boats, commercial fishing boats and pleasure craft--ranging from one-man skulls and canoes to cabin cruisers and yachts--abound. The Cocoa Beach Pier, which stretches out 840 feet above the ocean, is a good place to cast your line if you don't have a boat--or even if you do. And then there’s that 40 mile beach-anybody can be a surfcaster, and it doesn’t require a lot of fancy equipment.
Other active sports fans enjoy Brevard's facilities, too. Hiking and biking entertain some. Public tennis courses exist in at least 11 parks. The 16 public and seven private golf courses located within county borders keep most golfers content. And, of course, wind surfing, surfing, swimming, diving and boating along the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean beaches keep water-friendly folks in a state of barely controlled bliss.
Baseball is big in the late winter and early spring when Big League ball players train and compete here on the Grapefruit Circuit. The Florida Marlins (from the Miami area) train right here in Brevard County; the Los Angeles Dodgers do their spring stint in Vero Beach (in Indian River County just south of Brevard County). For professional football, residents can travel up the coast to see the Jacksonville Jaguars play; for pro basketball, their best bet is the Orlando Magic, who play less than an hour's drive from home.
Hot Times in the City
You'll be busy for weeks visiting Brevard County's many places of interest. In the Titusville area (north), try Astronaut Hall of Fame, the Valiant Air Command Museum and especially the very reasonable and exciting NASA Kennedy Space Center, where the Astronauts Memorial is also worth a look. Don't neglect downtown Titusville's historic district and the North Brevard Historical Museum.
In the Cocoa Beach (north central) area, check out the pier and Port Canaveral--its commerce, foreign trade zone and Jetty Park. Also mid-county, don't miss Cocoa Village, especially the Village Playhouse and the Porcher House. On A1A in Cocoa Beach, you'll find the famous Ron Jon Surf Shop. On the mainland in Cocoa, visit the Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science and the Astronaut Memorial Hall and Planetarium at the Cocoa campus of Brevard Community College (BCC).

You can count on Aamerican for professional Brevard County property management and sales. Whatever your investment is, we will provide you with above average service and solutions.
Property Management is a continuing business relationship quite different from a sales encounter. Manager, Tenant and Owner have an ongoing relationship that works best with full disclosures, direct and complete information, and immediate responses to all problems.
The process begins with a clear understanding of the market between Owner and Manager; positioning the property (marketing plan) to best suit the Owners' objectives; and fully exposing that property to potential Tenants.
OUR INVENTORY GROWTH:
Our inventory grows exclusively from referrals. We spend our advertising dollar to obtain as many high quality rental prospects and have benefitted from the numerous owner/property referrals without expending any advertising dollars.
We make every effort to be direct, honest and realistic with owners and tenants alike. The majority of the time we spend with prospective tenants is invested purely to avoid unnecessary mis-communications, misunderstandings and potential mistrust.
Can you imagine how you would feel if a property manager had not exercised due care and you suffered serious consequences? Unlike sales, not all business is "good business".
I had a very gracious couple balk at signing the Rental Agreement and addendum's months after they had signed the Reservation Agreement and provided a deposit. It was a tiny oceanfront townhouse and the gracious couple had withheld their intention to have a family reunion of sorts during a period of their occupancy. Fortunately the "number of occupants" clause and the "Maintenance" addendum caused the couple to recognize potential severe financial repercussions. In this case the owner's property was protected because of the thorough contracts.
Could you also imagine how uncomfortable it would be to receive an inquiry directly from your tenants attorney simply because you had unintentionally interacted with a tenant. We try to avoid that situation and the very first thing we do is make certain you are personally aware of that potential complication. We make sure you have been advised!
If you own rental property, ask yourself these questions?
Real Estate Sales Information
While our specialty is clearly property management, we have incorporated an effective and capable sales ability within our company.
If you are interested in selling, we afford a built in pool of prospects from our rental occupants. Additionally, you receive the exposure for your property with full photo spreads on an “industrial strength” web site with a variety of market hits. Naturally you would also receive the MLS exposure with full photo spreads.
If you are a buyer or an investor, we have the unique experience and access that can speed you through your successful purchase.
Please peruse our web sections for information about investor 1031, home purchaser’s “rent to own”, newsletters and investor tips. You are also invited to use the property search engines. If we can be of help, there is a “contact us” link or you can pick up the phone.
