The Cocoa Beach Boat Parade returns Saturday, December 8th! The boat parade is a favorite local tradition held along the Banana River between Highway 520 and the Cocoa Beach Golf Course for over 10 years. The boats in the parade are decked out with Christmas lights and decorations-some even have holiday tunes playing! The parade can been seen all along the Banana River from private residences, empty lots, and some riverfront restaurants. The parade starts at 6:00pm near the Cocoa Beach Causeway.
For more information about the parade, visit Cocoa Beach Rotary’s website. If you are planning to visit the Space Coast and are in need of accommodations, give us a call at (321)-784-5046 or e-mail us at info@kingrentals.com!
As November comes to a close, the Atlantic Hurricane Season ends on November 30th. Florida’s Space Coast has been very fortunate this year and did not see impacts from any major storms. As we go into our fall and winter weather patterns, now is a great time to work on preventative maintenance to prepare for next season. If you are a property owner and need assistance with maintenance, our full service handyman company, Keenan Services, does it all!
Whether you’re vacationing here or a long-time resident, it’s always a good idea to have a plan, and it’s never too early to put yours together. Brevard County’s Emergency Management Office offers a host of information, materials, and resources to get you started, and the ASPCA has tips for pet owners. My News 13 also has a wealth of information both about hurricane season and our year-round weather patterns. Lastly, for the most up-to-date hurricane and tropical forecasts, you can visit NOAA’s National Hurricane Center.
As your property manager, we are often some of the last to leave in the event of a significant storm, and some of the first to return after officials give the all clear, working hard to make sure our tenants and properties are prepared and protected to the best of our abilities. We monitor the weather closely throughout the season and at the first indication of a potential impact, we begin to implement our preparedness procedures. For more information, feel free to reach out to us!
