Market Overview
Data note: the short-term rental performance figures tracked for Titusville ($246.25 ADR, 67.04% occupancy, 6,550 tracked listings) are nearly identical to those tracked for Satellite Beach, another Brevard County Space Coast city. This reflects the underlying data provider’s shared Space Coast submarket definition rather than distinct town-level tracking; readers should treat these performance figures as representative of the broader Space Coast STR market rather than Titusville exclusively, while the regulatory and population figures below are Titusville-specific. Unlike Satellite Beach, Titusville has no citywide minimum-stay ban, so nightly rentals are a legally viable strategy here.
With that caveat, the tracked data shows entire-place units at 91.4% of supply (5,989 listings), private rooms at 8.5% (558), and shared rooms at 0.05% (3), with average monthly revenue of $4,433 per listing. Occupancy declined 2.0 percentage points year over year while ADR fell 1.0% and revenue fell 3.5%. Bedroom mix leans toward 2-bedroom units at 35.7% (2,337), followed by 1-bedroom at 26.3% (1,719).
Population is 49,888. Titusville is the ‘Gateway to Nature and Space’ on Florida’s Space Coast in Brevard County, about 45 minutes east of Orlando, with tourism dominated by the adjacent Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and prime rocket-launch viewing across the Indian River, plus major nature assets including Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore.

Investment Analysis
Given the shared-data caveat above, the tracked ADR and occupancy figures should be read as a Space Coast-wide reference point rather than Titusville-exclusive performance. Within that tracked data, the professionally managed tier averages $277.15 a night (12.5% above the $246.25 blended ADR) and the luxury tier averages $407.47, 65.5% above blended.
Housing valuation data (typical home value, median sale price) is not published for Titusville in the current snapshot, so a gross yield estimate cannot be calculated here; investors should pull comparable local sales directly before underwriting acquisition costs.
Unlike Satellite Beach, which effectively bans nightly rentals through a grandfathered ordinance, Titusville has no such restriction: Florida’s state preemption (F.S. 509.032(7)(b)) bars the city from prohibiting vacation rentals or capping their duration or frequency, since Titusville has no qualifying pre-2011 ordinance. That makes it a genuinely viable nightly-rental market, distinct from its Space Coast neighbor.

Booking Insights
Within the tracked (Space Coast-wide) data, average booking lead time is 58.2 days and average length of stay is 5.22 nights. Given Titusville’s legal nightly-rental status (unlike Satellite Beach), these booking patterns are more directly applicable here, consistent with guests planning launch-viewing or space-tourism trips well in advance.
Operators should still validate these figures against Titusville-specific comparable listings, since the underlying data is drawn from a shared regional series with Satellite Beach.
Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in Titusville. Florida’s state preemption (F.S. 509.032(7)(b)) bars municipalities from prohibiting vacation rentals or capping their duration or frequency unless they had a qualifying ordinance in place before June 1, 2011, so Titusville cannot ban Airbnb- or Vrbo-style rentals or impose a nights-per-year cap. Operators must obtain a state Vacation Rental license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, required when a property is rented more than three times per year for periods of less than 30 days, and register for a Florida Department of Revenue sales tax certificate.
Locally, hosts generally need a City of Titusville Business Tax Receipt (the state license must be obtained first) and must remit Brevard County’s 5.0% Tourist Development Tax on stays of six months or less, on top of the 7% Florida state sales and use tax, about 12% combined. Compliance obligations focus on licensing, taxes, parking, occupancy, and noise standards rather than owner-occupancy or primary-residence mandates, which are not imposed.
HOA covenants and deed restrictions can independently limit or prohibit STRs in specific subdivisions, so operators should verify community rules for a given property. Enforcement is rated moderate. Effective October 1, 2025, the Brevard County Tax Collector stopped collecting the Tourist Development Tax; per a July 22, 2025 ordinance, the Brevard County Clerk of Court now administers and collects the 5% bed tax.
Market Comparison
Within the tracked (Space Coast-wide) data, this market runs above typical U.S. short-term rental benchmarks on both metrics. At 67.04% occupancy, the tracked figure is about 12.0 percentage points above the roughly 55% national median. Average daily rate of $246.25 is about 11.9% above the roughly $220 national median ADR.
Among property managers tracked in this data series, Happy Palm Stays leads with 424 listings (6.5% of the tracked market’s 6,550 total listings) and 14,149 reviews at a 4.81 average rating. Beachside Vacation Rentals ranks second with 283 listings and 8,835 reviews at 4.70. These operators likely serve the broader Space Coast barrier-island region rather than Titusville exclusively, given the shared submarket data noted above.
