We enjoyed our stay at Blue Moon Cottage, the house has been renovated and has good curb appeal. Renee was very communicative and provided many amenities to give the cottage a comfortable environment. The house is within walking distance of downtown, which provides restaurants and several options for ice cream! Also, walking distance to Stetson University campus.

We had great time; it looked like the designer just left. There was a room for all activities, including a study. Property had everything you could want. Heating and cooling worked just fine. Renee was so sweet and came over to meet us. If we come back to Florida we will stay with her for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Renee

I'm from Florida, born & raised. I love the Beach & the River to go on a pontoon boat to check out the wildlife & local restaurants on the river.
I enjoy being a host, meeting my quest(s), being available throughout their stay, checking in with each & checking out. Making sure their stay is comfortable & accommodating.

Why they chose this property

This charming 2 bedroom, 2 bath 1940s cottage has been totally renovated and updated to provide you with a relaxing vacation for you and your family. We kept the beautiful hardwood floors that are original to the home. It's a quiet neighborhood and only blocks away from downtown Deland and Stetson University.
We have tried to provide you with everything you'll need to feel comfortable and at home here. If you need anything, please call your host, Renee.
And again, thank you for booking with us.
