River Fly-In — Merritt Island's Only Fly-In Condominium Community

Whether you’re a pilot looking for hangar access at home, an investor seeking a short-term-rental asset, or a buyer drawn to waterfront luxury on the Space Coast, River Fly-In is worth a closer look. Let’s talk.

I’m currently representing a 10th-floor penthouse in the community — 735 Pilot Ln #1010 — a 2 bed / 2 bath residence with panoramic water views, modern tile, soaring ceilings, and a true “live like you’re on vacation” setting. See the full listing (link to be added).

Current opportunity

River Fly-In is short-term-rental friendly (3-day minimum through the on-site management company), making it as attractive to investors as to owner-pilots. Cocoa Beach is five miles east; Port Canaveral is minutes away; and Orlando is an easy drive west.

Smart for pilots, investors, and snowbirds alike

A lifestyle built around the runway and the water

The residences

River Fly-In is the only high-rise on the Atlantic coast built around the fly-in lifestyle. Pilots get direct taxiway access to the airport's 3,601-foot lighted runway and private hangars with 24-hour access. Boaters keep a slip at the community marina. And every resident gets a front-row seat to rocket launches from their own balcony — the community sits about 20 miles south of Kennedy Space Center.

Ever dreamed of taxiing your plane to your front door? On Florida's Space Coast, there's one address where you can. River Fly-In is Brevard County's first true fly-in community — a 10-story luxury condominium set on 13 acres between the Banana River and Sykes Creek in Merritt Island, directly adjacent to the Merritt Island Airport (COI).

The building was engineered for the setting. Soundproof construction — a nine-inch concrete slab and high-grade fiberglass windows — keeps interiors quiet even next to the runway, and floors six and up open up to sweeping views of Sykes Creek, the Banana River, and Space Coast sunsets.

River Fly-In offers 112 condos across 10 floors, with four floor plans named after legendary aircraft engines:

• Rotax — 2 bed / 2 bath, ~1,300–1,400 sq ft
• Lycoming — 2 bed + study / 2 bath, ~1,700–1,800 sq ft
• Continental — 3 bed / 3.5 bath, ~1,600–1,700 sq ft (end units)
• Rolls Royce — 3 bed / 3.5 bath, ~2,400–2,500 sq ft (southeast corner)

Resort-style amenities

All units feature 9-foot ceilings, porcelain tile, soft-close cabinetry, and impact-rated windows.
