Direct Oceanfront Updated Studio w/180 degree view of the ocean and beach

My daughter and I were up for a last minute trip before she heads off to the Air Force. I was skeptical at first because I read a lot of reviews stating this was an old building. And well it is. But we had so much fun. It was clean and what I would call shabby chic!!!! Just a super cute place with lots of character!!! George has done an awesome job with his remodel and it was super clean! We had plenty of towels and THE BEST BED I have ever slept on. We didn’t cook but there was plenty of pots and pans if ya wanted to. The grounds and pool were also spotless. There are security cameras and we met the security guard one night so I felt safe. I had also read on one of the reviews about the elevator condition. It’s just old and has been a victim of ocean moisture. We made a game out of it. When a stranger got on the elevator we would say, “Is this not the creepiest elevator ever?” It allowed for some laughter and jokes. The best part is the view from the balcony and the 41 steps from your room to the water. Yes, I counted them. George was a phone call away and check in was super easy. I normally stay in a house when I come down because usually i have a lot of family with me. But 4 people could stay here comfortably. I would definitely come back. Last thing, you can’t beat the pricing. Thanks George for an unforgettable time!!!!

This was our second time staying in this same studio at the Daytona Beach Club and we had another amazing experience! You can tell that the owner, George, cares a lot about this place because it is well maintained and has everything you could need. He recently redid the flooring throughout and it is beautiful. It makes the studio feel spacious and helps with sweeping up the sand we inevitably track in. Last time, I wrote him with some suggestions for making the stay more comfortable. He took my suggestions to heart and made all the necessary improvements - such as a more comfortable pull-out sofa bed. He is always quick to answer the phone and very pleasant/helpful. You won't find a better oceanfront place to stay along this beach.

Also, to anyone reading other reviews where people complain about the building - don't pay them any attention! This building has just undergone a huge renovation (over a million dollars). It has been repainted and the parking garages redone. The Daytona Beach Club board members work diligently on making all the necessary improvements to this building. Things take time, but trust me, the owners care!

Things we love most about staying here:

1. The pool is AWESOME! Not too cold where you hate to get in, and not warm like bath water. Its absolutely perfect and it has plenty of space for everyone.

2. During the summer, every Friday night they have fireworks at the pier. You can watch them right from the balcony of this rental!

3. The people here are super nice! You get to know people here and it is like a reunion every time we come back.

We will be returning next year. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

Our family loved our stay in this condo! It was very clean, had a perfect view of the ocean and beach, and very convenient. The bed was super comfortable and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation and we’ll likely visit again in the future!

The view of the beach from the bed is awesome! The location is awesome! However, the "2" mix match face towels/wash clothes that were provided for us to use for 4 days and 3 nights, while at the beach was very disappointing. When I contacted the owner to inquire if that was truly all he was providing, his response was and I quote, "aren't there just 2 of you?" I advised him that I'm used to be provided (or having access to) at least a set of freshly washed face clothes, hand towels, and body towels per person, per night, he responded " that's more than I own". He offered to see what he could do, but I declined because I didn't come to Daytona to spend time having to go down to the parking garage and spend $4 to wash and dry towels everyday. My recommendation for anyone considering this property, it that you bring enough wash clothes and towels of your own to last throughout your stay. The service is called Home Away and unfortunately, I was not comfortable at this location and did not feel as if I were at a home away from home.

Also, the exterior door doesn't look very safe, it appears to have been kicked in, in the past, and looks as if it can still be kicked in if someone wanted to get in. The entire frame and door should be replaced.

Owner is very responsive!! Best price for a great view and life guard for beach is right there.
