Whether you’ve endured long hours in the air or on the road, pull into your driveway at our Southern Star Beach Home at Driftwood Lane in the Ocean Hammock Resorts and completely turn off. You’ve arrived. This beautiful open floor plan home is located in ocean hammock's private upscale oceanfront gated community. Enjoy the exceptional views of the lake and the privacy from your lanai and within a few minutes you can stroll the beach.
A wide brick driveway hints at the paradise within. Our Southern Star home in Ocean Hammock Resort keeps its secrets well-hidden behind a turreted front entrance and screening palms. Trees enhance the hide-away feeling - this is a world all your own.
Relax in and around your lanai - or spend time together on the surrounding patio. A relaxing patio that reinforces your vacation mindset as you lazily sunbathe. Awake only when you get thirsty - and don’t scrimp on the cocktails. (please note, spa is not heated.)
Custom built with many upgrades such as 12' and 14' ceilings throughout, crown molding and 8 baseboards, stone gas fireplace, porcelain tile floors, and jacuzzi tub. Bright and airy kitchen with granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Very spacious master suite with plenty of windows to give maximum views of lake.
The living room, beautifully outfitted with comfy chairs and love-seats, has expansive tiled floors - perfect for Florida’s heat. Children have all the space they need for imaginative games and adults will like the flexibility in entertaining. Soaring ceilings are finished with discrete ceiling fans and large windows dot the multi-story walls for uninterrupted sun. A large, flat-screen TV finishes a stacked entertainment system.
There’s both a center island and a breakfast bar, with non-stop natural sunlight. Keep everyone happy and well-fed at the adjacent dining table, attached breakfast bar or inviting breakfast nook, tucked into its own alcove. This would be just as good a spot to play cards or board games.
The master bedroom takes it cue from a fine hotel. If your master suite is a sanctuary, your en suite bathroom is the shrine. Set in marble, spot lighting sets off a large in-built bathtub. Fine cabinetry, his and hers sinks and a separate shower suggest you take some time for yourself.
Bedroom 2 is no second prize - with a carved, wooden queen bed and extra futon bed its own en suite bathroom, it’s ideal for teenagers or adults in your party. Large windows look out to beautiful trees and allow the room’s occupant/s to wake up slowly to the morning sun. The third bedroom has a double bed with exquisite wooden frame and comfortable finishings. The fourth bedroom has a queen sofa sleeper bed and a LCD TV. There is even an extra single bed in a large closet that can be moved in any room. Or, have a youngster pretend to be Harry Potter and sleep in the closet.
In-house wireless internet keeps everyone happy. Provided linens match the property’s high quality and your private laundry facilities round out the full comforts of home.
Life in a private home within a gated resort will take no getting used to at all. Just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, Our Southern Star home provides all your must-haves: wireless Internet, in-suite laundry and lots of room for making lasting memories. This is a very large home and, while it sleeps 11 guests, it will never seem ‘full’ or at maximum capacity. Please note, spa is not heated.

Over all the Home was great for a large Family Vacation. The carpets need to be replaced NOW. Elevator did not work during our stay but we would have used it only a few times. The staff was great! The Location was close to perfect. Would consider renting<br/> again.Owner response: Hi Jorge - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I apologize for the carpet maintenance issues. The elevator does not work, and we do not advertise it any more. I have already contacted my property manager to get these fixed.

I realize that this is a beach house. However, for the extremely high cleaning fee you charged, I would have expected that at least spots on the carpet be cleaned.Owner response: Hi Byrnes - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I want to apologize for the cleaning and smell issues. This is not acceptable and not up to my standards. I am personally emailing you a discount for this. I am in discussion with the house keeping manager about this. Again, please accept my sincere apology for this as it is not acceptable. It is our goal to provide a wonderful vacation experience. You and your family are welcome back any time. Thank you again. Steve Milo, VacationRentalPros. com 904.707.1487

We all loved the location--close to the beach, and not far from amenities. The house, however, had some issues. Specifically, the septic tank backed into the house and had to be pumped out around midnight, we had some other maintenance issues,and three bathrooms for a house advertised to accommodate 20 people are insufficient. We liked a number of the features of the home, however, including the porches, and the large common room.Owner response: Hi Betsy - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I apologize again for the maintenance item with the septic tank and reacted as soon as we knew. It is our goal to provide a wonderful vacation experience. You and your family are welcome back any time. Thank you again. Steve Milo, VacationRentalPros. com 904.707.1487

We spent a great week with our grandchildren and their parents. Everything was delightful. We hated to leave at the end of the week. The beach is very private, the waves great for body surfing. just enough wind for kite flying. <br/><br/>The only problem was that some light switches don't turn on the lights in the rooms so you stumble around in the dark looking for a lamp to turn on. One ceiling fan in the living room didn't work. The VCR player in the living room didn't have a connection to the TV. The child protection gates at the top of the spiral staircase and on the deck leading to the front parking and highway are missing so we had to improvise. The wireless internet came in handy for the many laptops we brought along. It was a dream vacation that we would recommend to anyone who has a large group. There is plenty of room for air mattresses for the grandkids who want to sleep together according to age groups.Owner response: Hi Roger - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I appreciate the feedback on the maintenance items and will discuss this with operations. It is our goal to provide a wonderful vacation experience. You and your family are welcome back any time.

WE LOVED OUR STAY AT THE BEACH HOUSE AT FLAGLER BEACH. IT HAD A BEAUTIFUL VIEW AND THE CHILDREN ALL LOVED THE BEACH. MY ONLY REGRET WAS THAT THE DOWNSTAIRS IS NOT OPEN TO THE UPSTAIRS.

While our overall stay was pleasant and we enjoyed the house with our family reunion, there are several issues that need to be mentioned.<br/><br/>Firstly as you probably are aware, the house is in great need of some overall general maintenance. The air conditioning does not keep up with the heat in the afternoons and even drawing the shades across the West side does not help that much.<br/><br/>Only one of the ceiling fans worked and several of the light bulbs in those fixtures were burned out. There were water leaks in at the stool between the two bedrooms and the hot water heater in the lower apartment has been seriously leaking for a long time. <br/><br/>The built in micro-wave in the upper kitchen does not work and it was also obvious that the house had not been sprayed for roaches for a while. The outside back porch lights were broken and hanging down and several pieces of the soffit covering had been blown away. Several spindles on the decking rail are rotted at the top and bottom and need to be replaced.<br/><br/>A previous user had melted the siding and window sill on the deck, but we could not get the grill to heat up enough to grill hamburgers.<br/><br/>There was a considerable amount of mold in the lower apartment. All the toilets both upper and lower have flushing problems.<br/><br/>The washers and dryers are so old that they simply cannot do the job in a single cycle. The dryers take two or three cycles to dry even the smallest loads of wash.<br/><br/>We were told that there was no internet service so we did not bring our computers for business, but there is internet service available and it works very well. One family member did bring a computer and could connect at the dinning room table with ease.<br/><br/>We all enjoyed the location and the easy access to the beach area. The maintenance issues were annoying but we worked around them and as mentioned had a wonderful family reunion.<br/><br/>Billie Doell<br/>Owner response: Hi Billie - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I apologize for some of the maintenance issues. I have already contacted operations to fix it. It is our goal to provide a wonderful vacation experience.

The house has a beautiful location right on the beach and has a great wrap-around porch. While the inside of the house was clean, it was definitely obvious the house is older and has carpet stains and a decent amount of bugs. The kitchen is small (especially for a house that sleeps 18-20!) and the appliances and cookware left a lot to be desired (even keeping in mind that it's a vacation home and nothing will be anywhere close to top of the line!); a few appliances didn't even work. The couch on the top floor does NOT fold out into a bed. The people at VRP were fabulous, but the house left a lot to be desired.Owner response: Hi Samantha - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. It is our goal to provide a wonderful vacation experience. I apologize for the kitchenware and the carpet stains. We are professionally cleaning the carpet again. We are also upgrading the kitchenware. You and your family are welcome back any time. Thank you again. Steve Milo, VacationRentalPros. com 904.707.1487

About the owner: My name is Steve Milo and I stay in Vacation Rental Homes when I travel both domestically and abroad. I own several vacation rental homes and listen carefully to our guests and their feedback! Our greatest compliment is when our guests refer our web site to their friends and relatives. AND, now I am managing other people's properties in St Augustine Beach, Daytona Beach, Palm Coast and Ponte Vedra Beach. Our guests and their great 'word of mouth' have helped us expand to over 500+ vacation rentals. We booked over 10,000 rentals and received over 3,000 guest reviews in 2011. You can find some of these by going to search engines and typing in Steve Milo or 'Vacation Rental Pros' . Thank you!
Why the Owner Chose Ormond Beach:
And the best part of it all is the location. You're within a short car ride of historic downtown St. Augustine, the oldest city in America filled with pedestrian walkways with shops, cafes and first class restaurants. We are also close to Daytona Beach and the Daytona speedway and museum. We are also only a 1 1/2 hour drive to Orlando and Disney World/Universal/Sea World as well as 1 1/2 hour to the Kennedy Space Center. Our rental is also a short car ride to Ponte Vedra Beach and PGA golf Course and TPC as well as Jacksonville with the brand new St John's Town Center (with a Costco), Avenue Mall and River Front Arcade. There is also a minor league baseball team and a professional football team and stadium.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The beach is wide and unspoiled here by large crowds. Kids will spend hours exploring, and their parents and grandparents will love discovering new areas to relax and reconnect If you're ready for uncrowded beaches, balmy weather, clear skies, and Florida's natural wildlife, come visit us today!
