Coastal charm meets space-age wonder in Palm Bay

This pristine area is perfect for kayaking, wildlife observation, and peaceful walks. Nearby, Castaway Point Park offers additional opportunities for fishing, picnicking, and launching kayaks into the Indian River Lagoon.
For dining options, residents can enjoy fresh seafood and waterfront views at The Shack Riverfront Restaurant & Outback Tiki Bar, located a short drive down Dixie Highway. This local favorite is known for its lively atmosphere and frequent live music. Those seeking a family-owned establishment might prefer Rooney's, situated a bit further inland, offering popular wings and prime rib dinners.

Educational opportunities in the area include Palm Bay Elementary, Stone Magnet Middle School, and Palm Bay Magnet High School, all part of the Brevard Public School System. These schools offer specialized programs in STEAM fields, providing students with advanced learning opportunities.
Car-centric living with easy access to major routes
Transportation in the Rhum Cove area primarily revolves around personal vehicles, reflecting the car-dependent nature of Palm Bay. The condominium's location provides convenient access to major roads, facilitating easy travel throughout the region.
For those who prefer public transit, a bus stop serving the East Palm Bay line is located at Port Malabar Boulevard and Dixie Highway, about a 15-minute walk from the complex. This service provides connections to other parts of Palm Bay, though service may be limited compared to more urban areas.
Air travel is facilitated by the nearby Melbourne Orlando International Airport, situated approximately 9 miles north of Rhum Cove. This proximity allows for convenient access to both domestic and international flights, with the airport offering direct connections to major U.S. cities and seasonal flights to the United Kingdom.
For longer trips, major highways are accessible, providing routes to other Florida destinations. Orlando and its world-famous attractions are about an hour and 15 minutes away, depending on traffic conditions.
While the area's bike score suggests some bike-friendly infrastructure, most residents rely on cars for their daily transportation needs.
