This is my 7th year of going to Ponce Inlet, and I love it. It is my 2nd year at the Southpoint Condo room 402. It is a safe place to stay, right at the beach with a place to clean up after, and a nice pool. Condo is always clean and has everything you need. Owner is very friendly and easy to work with.
Owner response:Thanks so much! Keep coming back.

Our family had a wonderful time at the Condo. The owner is a great person to deal with, she is very prompt and organized. The condo has easy access to the beach and the beach is very wide and the water is swallow, especially in low tide, this is great if you have little ones. It was truly a great family vacation, we hope to go back soon! I would write more good details about the Condo, but the folks at VRBO keep denying the my review.. 3rd times a charm!
Owner response:Bill, so glad you all had a good time. Hope to see you in the future. Ruthann

My husband and I stayed in the condo for the month of January, 2012 and were pleased because the online description and pictures were very good and the whole place was maintained well and very clean. Ruthann was always very helpful and totally honest in all our dealings with her and we would recommend a stay here to friends and family. We ate at many different restaurants while there, but our favorite was The Daily Grind, a small hamburger and steak place.
Owner response:Thank you J & M for the nice review. I know that it was understandably hard for you to trust a total stranger over the internet. I am glad you had a great time. You were both so pleasant to work with. I hope you can come down again sometime.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo has everything you might need. A quiet part of the beach, but not too far from Daytona. We loved the sunrises!!! We watched dolphins swimming right past almost everyday. We hope we can go again someday

My family and I stayed at the Mason's condo 7-23-30-11. It was clean, roomy, and just what we expected. I would recommend this to anyone. Ruthann is a great person to rent from.

My family stayed at the Mason's condo last summer. We were there at the end of July or early August. It's now January 2011 and I am writing this review because I feel guilty that I have not written a review yet and they deserve a good review. (I told my husband I should write a bad review so the place would be available, but I cannot do that.) We really enjoyed staying here. I am not a big fan of Daytona Beach, because it can be crowded, but staying here was not like being up in the wilds of Daytona. The beach was quiet and at night it's wonderful. We saw sea turtles nesting, watched satellites, saw several falling stars and walked and walked. The daytime beach is good too, especially Monday thru Friday. Do know this: The open living space is not huge. Don't stay here if you want to ignore the people you are with. One night we had 4 teenagers and two adults but with no problems. And the space is comfortable. Some games and entertainment are provided. The pool is street side, not beach side. Mom and Dad cannot sit by the pool and watch the family. The view from the balcony is limited when you are sitting back. It's not an expansive balcony. The master bedroon is snuggly. You may not want to leave it. They keep a supply of beach towels, chairs, etc on hand. You can see Dolphins most mornings if you make the effort to look. Also, go up to Daytona Beach and play the tourist one night. Last summer they had fireworks every weekend. Wander the boardwalk and people watch. If something is amiss, call Ruth. She will respond. A part of a door broke on us and she really followed up with us to make sure everything was OK. (My husband fixed it - it gave him something to do.) This is not a luxury condo, but it has all you need for a good time! I really do recommend it.
Owner response:Ken and Chris, I don't usually have time to respond back to reviews but I have to applaud you for the time and effort that went into this detailed review. What it may have lacked in timeliness you more than made up for in entusiasm. It would be an honor to have you back. Ruthann

Pick this one

If you are looking for a nice, "clean" condo on the beach, pick this one. I took my wife and kids down last week, (week of the 4th) and we were delighted. It's not the newest building down there, but it is everything that it is advertised to be. The unit has everything you need, it's very well maintained, and you can not beat the views. The beds were comfortable, everything worked, and we really enjoyed our stay. I'm usually ready to come home after 4 or 5 days, but I really wished we would have booked it for two weeks. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone.

What a beautiful condo - clean and well-maintained. We loved the beach - miles of walking - the sand is clean and basically shell free. We got to see a sea turtle lay her eggs - it was amazing! We enjoyed relaxing in the family room and the bedrooms were great. We would recommend this condo to anyone. Ruthann is wonderful to work with - no hassles! We went to the Ponce Inlet lighthouse - wonderful. Parasailing is available right by the lighthouse - we had a blast! The restaurants are good - our favorites were Ocean Beach (in Daytona) and North Turn (right down the street - we walked on the beach to get there). All in all - a great family vacation site!

My wife & I stayed at the Mason's condo January 2010. We found it to be very clean and everything was as advertised. The condo is located in an area with minimal traffic, yet close to many of Florida's attractions. We enjoyed the view from the balcony of the ocean and the shrimp boats and being able to walk from the condo onto the beach. The Mason's were great to deal with and we are in the process of renting the condo again. R. Keller, Farmington, Missouri

Our family had an absolutely perfect vacation here. Usually, by the end of a week away from home I am ready to sleep in my own bed, but that wasn't the case here. I didn't want to leave! This was our first visit to Ponce Inlet, but it definitely won't be our last. The extremely wide beach is breathtakingly beautiful. My children loved everything about our trip(the beach, the pool, the lighthouse, and the turtle center). We also made an easy day trip to the Kennedy Space Center, which was great. The condo has everything you could possibly need and the owners are wonderfully easy to deal with.

This was our second stay at the condo and again it was wonderful. The area is so lovely and quiet. The beach is so beautiful and I love watching the sunrise from the balcony. It is a great place for families and the condo had everything that we needed for a great stay. We hope to be back. thank you
Owner response:I am assuming there is a mistake here. The comment is so positive, maybe the negative button was selected by mistake.

We have rented in Daytona previously so I wasn't sure how we would like being further down the strip. Absolutely no contest this one wins hands down. Just far enough away from the noise but still close enough so as not to have to drive to far for entertainment. Very clean, well maintained and great folks to rent from.

We had a great time! The condo is nice and very clean. Everything you need is already there, so that is another plus. The owners are sweet and easy to work with.

We rented this unit with good intentions and were told several things that might happen...they were planning on updating the furniture (which would have meant no sleeper sofa), they changed cleaning companies, the payment for the cleaning company was coming out of the deposit instead of leaving it there, etc. When we arrived, we were told that the shower curtain rod was broken and it would be fixed within a few days of arriving. Instead, a shower curtain rod was brought to us and I guess we were expected to put it up. Then, we were accused of some things that DID NOT sit well with me and now they want to keep our deposit. I wouldn't recommend this place, nor will I return.
Owner response:I am so sorry that this visit was not a success. I am somewhat confused about your comment but we did as you said recently upgrade the furniture and we purchased a queen size instead of a full size sleeper sofa. We felt that a new and larger sofa would better serve our guests, You are correct that we changed cleaning companies. This was also done to better serve our guests.This same service offered to put up the replacement shower rod. Unfortunately, due to damage done during this stay it was necessary to hold back a portion of the security deposit to pay for a professional to fix the problem. We have never kept back a security deposit until now but it was deemed necessary. We have enocuntered minor problems occcasionally and have not held back any deposit but this was of a different nature.

What a great place to stay and enjoy the ocean. When you first walk in the decorations immediately make you feel welcome.It was also well stocked and clean.

I can't thank you enough for providing my family the vacation of a lifetime. We were thrilled to enjoy and share such a wonderful vacation spot. Everything went smoothly, and it was all you said it would be. Lots to do and see--or lay back and just enjoy. Thank you again!
