Space Coast · Florida
Cape Canaveral is a small beach city of condos and seasonal homes, with an annual vacation rental inspection program and a beach where three kinds of sea turtle nest.
Cocoa Beach is a condo town on the barrier island, with buildings from the 1970s, a quarter of its units held for seasonal use and a city registry for every vacation rental.
Palm Bay is Brevard County's biggest city, a spread of owner occupied single family homes on the old Port Malabar lots, most of them built from the 1980s on.
Titusville is the Brevard County seat on the Indian River, facing the Kennedy Space Center, with one of the oldest housing stocks on the coast and its own lime-softened water.
Viera is Brevard's master planned community, from the 1990s and 2000s homes of Viera East to the newer houses of Viera West, with community associations and Cocoa water.

The Space Coast is a long strip of very different homes. Melbourne mixes older concrete block houses with newer subdivisions, Palm Bay is mostly owner occupied single family homes, Viera is still being built out, and Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral are condo towns where a quarter of the units sit empty part of the year.
This page explains what that means for keeping a Brevard County home clean, what TotalCare Cleaning will charge by home size when it comes to Melbourne, and where to find the local guides for each part of the coast.
Melbourne's median home was built in 1985, and about 39 percent of the city's homes are older than 1980. Homes of that age have often been through several owners and several rounds of updates, so one house can have original tile in the bathrooms, newer floors in the living areas and a bath fan that was never sized for Florida humidity. A good clean adjusts to each surface rather than treating the whole house the same way.
Single family detached homes make up about 57 percent of Melbourne's housing, and the rest is a mix of condos, apartments and townhomes. Brevard County as a whole has a median home built in 1988, and about 7 percent of its units are mobile homes, which have compact kitchens and baths where a careful wipe matters more than heavy scrubbing.
About 40 percent of Melbourne homes are rented, which keeps the move-out cleaning guide busy, and Florida Institute of Technology sits inside the city, so student rentals change hands every year.
The National Weather Service office in Melbourne puts the median start of the wet season on May 28 and the start of the dry season on October 17. Between those dates the airport records most of its rain: June through September bring 27.90 of the 50.79 normal annual inches, and September alone averages 7.63 inches.
Summer dew points average about 74 degrees in July and August, against about 54 in January. That is why bathrooms here stay damp long after a shower, why grout darkens in a few weeks and why closets can smell musty by August. The humidity and mildew guide covers what regular cleaning can do about it and where a specialist is the right call.
Brevard has lived through Frances and Jeanne in 2004, Matthew in 2016, Irma in 2017, Ian and Nicole in 2022 and Milton in 2024. The storm season guide explains how to get a home ready before a storm and cleaned up afterward, and the seasonal cleaning calendar lays out the whole year.
Every service is priced flat by bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. A bi-weekly Recurring House Clean for a three bedroom home is $256.00 per visit, and a One-Time Deep Clean runs $311.00 to $690.00 across the five home sizes. A Moving Clean for an empty home runs $391.00 to $817.00.
A One-Time Deep Clean resets a home that has had a long, damp summer: hand washed baseboards, wet-wiped blinds, window tracks, ceiling fans and vents wiped in place, cabinet fronts degreased and shower glass treated for hard water spots. A Recurring House Clean on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly plan keeps it there, with reachable baseboards and blind slats dusted each visit.
Palm Bay is the largest city in Brevard County by population and land area, and about 84 percent of its housing is single family detached. See Palm Bay house cleaning. Viera is a master planned community laid out on former Duda family land, with homes in Viera West mostly built since 2010. See Viera house cleaning and the new home cleaning guide.
Titusville, the county seat, looks across the Indian River at the Kennedy Space Center and has some of the oldest housing on the coast. See Titusville house cleaning. Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral are condo and vacation rental towns with their own city registration programs. See Cocoa Beach house cleaning, Cape Canaveral house cleaning and the short-term rental cleaning guide.
Melbourne neighborhoods such as Eau Gallie, which merged with Melbourne in 1969, Suntree, Baytree, Bridgewater, Sherwood, Riverside Drive, Indian River, Center Street and Space View Park, and Palm Bay areas such as Bayside Lakes and Palm Bay Estates, are all part of the Space Coast that TotalCare Cleaning will service.
