Where to Stay for Paramotor Training
A whole waterfront house instead of a motel room for your course week: three bedrooms, sleeps 8, laundry, fast internet for flight video, room for the truck and trailer, an open lawn to pack a wing, and a private dock on the Indian River for the blown-out afternoons.

“The dock was perfect, had a lot of space, and we even fished a couple of times and caught some fish.”
“We especially loved having access to the private dock, and the open floor plan made the space feel comfortable and inviting.”
“We loved the panoramic view of the river and being able to walk out on the dock”
Course week
Ten days of training, one calm base
Paramotor training here runs on dawn and dusk air, which means very early mornings and a long middle of the day waiting on the wind. Being five minutes from the field changes that week: you drive out for first light, come back for breakfast and a nap, and go again in the evening — instead of sitting in a parking lot. Bring a partner or a training buddy and the house splits three ways without anyone sleeping on a couch. Season pilots, instructors and returning students: message us and we will quote a special rate for the block you need.

Paramotor stays FAQ
How far is the house from Valkaria Airport?
About 3 miles and 5 minutes. Valkaria Airport (X59) is at 500 Valkaria Rd in Grant-Valkaria — the same small town as the house, which is at 6910 US-1. It is the closest lodging situation you will find to that field.
Is this a good base for a paramotor training course?
Yes. Paramotor Orlando runs foot-launch training at Valkaria Airport with small classes and about 25+ flights over roughly 10 days. Ten-plus nights in a whole house with a kitchen, laundry and driveway space works out better than a motel room for that kind of block.
Do you have a special rate for a 10-day course or a season block?
We do. Course-length and monthly stays — especially November through April — are quoted case by case. Message us with your dates and we will send you a special price.
Can I lay out and pack a wing at the house?
There is a wide open waterfront lawn plus a gazebo, so there is plenty of room to lay out, inspect and pack. All flying, launching and training happens at the airport, not on the property.
Is there room for a truck, van or trailer?
Yes. There is driveway and yard space for a truck, a van or a gear trailer for the length of your stay.
Can I bring my dog while I'm training for the week?
Two dogs are welcome, no size or breed limit, $100 per dog per stay. Dogs can't be left alone in the house, so plan the training day around that.
What does a tandem paramotor flight cost if we're not training?
Paramotor Orlando lists an instructional tandem flight at $195 for about 15 minutes of air time, open to riders roughly 80–230 lbs, with helmet and gear provided. Prices, weather calls and scheduling are theirs — book directly at paramotororlando.com or call (407) 820-4162.
Fly at sunrise, land five minutes from bed
Three miles from Valkaria Airport, three bedrooms for eight, and a dock with the sunrise on it. Course students and season pilots: ask us for a special rate.
