If you are willing to do the Bed and Breakfast route, my dad and I just got back from a 4 night trip to the Space Coast. We had a wonderful time at the Casa Coquina, a cooky bed and breakfast located in Titusville. It was sooo easy to travel to the space center (we went for two days) from here, the people were really nice, breakfast is included, and the room was the best part. It was a huge suite that felt so inviting and homey (albiet a cleaner home than mine) that we looked forward to returning to each night. We literally just got back (plane landed at 5 today), so if you have any questions, let me know.
