Merritt Island

I am going to look at some boats off the coast of Florida, one is located in Merritt Island. Looking for suggestions on where to stay; i.e. affordable Florida city near there.

Thanks!

Minnewaska will become famous soon enough
The town with the most options, almost all of which should be affordable, is Cocoa Beach. You know, where Major Nelson found the bottle.

Drive back over the Rt528 bridge to the mainland and Cocoa Village (very different) is a very cute place to visit. But only the main drag with the shops and restaurants, the surrounding area is lousy. Not sure there are any hotels there, however. Cafe Margaux, in the middle of town is a great restaurant. Try the roasted tomato bisque.

In the harsh marine environment, something is always in need of repair. Margaritas fix everything.

I would agree. Cocoa Beach is a much better place to stay than Merritt Island and it is right over the bridge.
