Several souvenir gift shops, butterfly garden, a cafe, ice cream parlor and a beautiful outdoor event space for weddings. We literally spent an entire afternoon exploring the property and didn't get to see it all. If it's related to gardening or plants they probably have what you're looking for. One of my favorite spots here is the pick your own wild flower bouquet and pick your own herbs. What a cool idea! If you're in the area definitely plan to spend a few hours or more!

While wandering historic downtown Cocoa I discovered the stately Porcher House in Cocoa Riverfront…read morePark. As a fan of historic architecture, this is a gem worth checking out. In front of the home is a historic marker that is part of the Historical Marker Program, one of the Division of Historical Resources' most popular and valued public history programs. The markers raise awareness of Florida's cultural history while enhancing the enjoyment of historic sites for residents and tourists. The blue historic markers tell the stories of the people and places that were important to Florida's history and they can be found in front of schools, forts, roads, archaeological sites, battlefields, cemeteries, roads, churches, historic districts, and historic buildings like this one. Historic marker F-937 was installed in 2017 by Brevard County Historical Commission, The Brevard Heritage Council, The Brevard County Tourist Development Council, and the Florida Department of State. This impressive home is associated with Edward Porcher. As a young man he moved to Cocoa from South Carolina in the late 1800's. He and wife Byrnina Peck of Atlanta settled into Merritt Island where they raised their family and operated Deerfield Groves, a citrus farm. He was the first person to grade fruit for shipping, patented the first fruit stamping machine, and he invented a machine to wash the fruit. He was the founder of the Indian River Orange Growers Association. In 1962 he was inducted into the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame. Byrnina was the first postmistress on Merritt Island. In 1895 the Porcher family moved into a three story wood frame house where the Cocoa Civic Center is now located. Construction on the Porcher's Neo Classical Revival home began in 1914 based on Mrs. Porcher's design. A special feature in front of the house are the stones that were cut to represent the suits of cards in a game of Bridge. The house was built from native coquina rock and included ten bedrooms, four and one-half baths, a partial basement, and an attic. The staircase is made of teak, the floor is oak, and the wainscoting and trim are cedar. The Porcher family moved into the grandest home in Cocoa on October 31, 1916. Portions of the house are original while others are restorations. No longer on the property are the porte-cochere on the north side, the Porcher's swimming pool, and the large packinghouse that was on the river bank behind the house. The packing house was used to process produce delivered by boat the family's groves on Merritt Island. Edward Porcher passes away in June 1939. Upon his death the house passed to his son Arthur who died the next month. The house became a hotel and then in 1945 the City of Cocoa purchased it and used it for City Hall. Money from city and state historic preservation grants were used to restore the Porcher House and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 6, 1986. Today the Porcher House can be rented for private events like weddings.

Porcher was in the business of oranges. Later, this house was used as city hall…read more Now it is an event venue for weddings and such. The house has been restored, but it is not furnished as a residence. Some of the rooms contain offices where you can reserve the house for an event, and arrange for catering. The front door latch is a bit hard to open, so try a little harder before giving up on it. Don't expect a guided tour of the house, but walk thru and have a look, when there is no wedding or reserved private event going on. There is an elevator to the second floor, with water fountain and restrooms nearby. Look out the first floor back porch to the river. Walk out the back and stroll to the river thru a park with an amphitheater. There is another park on the block that has swing sets for the younger folk. This Porcher House is next door to the civic center.

Ok, so it was a rainy stormy day when we went to a wedding. The venue overall was nice and I am…read moresure when it is not raining inches it is fine.....however, they have a serious drainage problem and only one way into the venue from the parking lot (grass) They need to invest in some drainage work to move the water away from the sidewalk so it is not 6 inches deep and it does not pool at the only opening in the fence...I am sure more than one pair of shoes was ruined. The staff was accommodating and made the best of it. They had a DJ and food from a local restaurant for the wedding party and guests. PRO TIP: Avoid rainy days...Also, the bathrooms are outside and up some stairs...not good for those with limited mobility.....

Stayed here for 1 night on 2/14/2026. Rating for the room itself is 3, as the property states rooms…read morewere recently remodeled. Although the beds were comfortable and bathroom does show signs of recent remodel the sitting area where the sofa and sofa bed is located is a complete miss. The room has no ventilation, sofa bed is unusable, as the mattress is extremely thin, and the lighting made the whole room feel as if one is in a warehouse. Also the shower door was does not seal properly allowing water to flow onto bathroom floor. However the true problem and the reason for the 1 star rating began the moment I attempted to check in. I booked a room that does not require a credit card. In addition confirmation clearly states, "Failing to call or show before check-out time after the first night of a reservation will result in cancellation of the remainder of your reservation." However upon check in I was told my room was cancelled and given away due to non payment and they have no other rooms available. Confirmation clearly states, "before check-out" not before check in. Please imagine yourself walking in with your family along with 2 small children and hearing, "it's too late. We cancelled your room due to non-payment and there are no rooms available." With all my years of traveling I have never heard of or experienced a property attempt to charge my no credit card required reservation before check in. In addition, being an IHG Platinum Rewards member this never should have happened. Everything should have been done by this property to ensure my room was available and ready. Since this property was overbooked. I can only assume they were trying to double dip, as stated in cancellation policy, "Canceling your reservation after 6:00 PM (local hotel time) on 13 February, 2026, or failing to show, will result in a charge of 1 night per room to your credit card." I had stated on my reservation I will be checking in at 8 pm. By cancelling my reservation they were able to charge me for 1 night stay and rebook my room at the current rack rate. If this property went to these extremes to 1 of IHG's top tier members. Really imagine what would happen to a consumer with little or no loyalty status and imagine yourself in this situation. That consumer along with their family and young ones would most likely be spending the night in their car in Walmart's parking lot. Although this experience is no fault of IHG itself, as this property is a franchise. I do hold IHG responsible. My daughter (who is a IHG Diamond Elite Member) and I would most likely consider Marriott or Hilton for our next vacation and business plans, as we have lost trust in IHG after this horrifying experience. Yes, this property attempted to screw 2 top tier elite IHG loyalty members in 1 shot. However I must give acknowledgment to Danielle and Connor who corrected and made right this huge mistake. One that should not have happened to begin with.
