5-min walk to heart of Delray + Private Heated pool!
Welcome to The Delray House! Stay in the heart of Delray Beach—just a 5-minute walk from the restaurants, bars, boutiques, galleries, concerts, festivals and GreenMarket that make downtown Delray so special. Travel + Leisure recently called Atlantic Avenue the “beating heart of Delray Beach”—and you’ll be just a few blocks from it all, while coming home to your own private heated saltwater pool and tropical retreat.
The Delray House is a surprisingly spacious, Key West-inspired 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home designed for families and groups who want both room to gather and room to spread out.
THE LOCATION Leave the car behind and walk to Old School Square, historic Banker’s Row, Pineapple Grove, Atlantic Avenue restaurants and nightlife, shops, galleries, live music, festivals and the Delray GreenMarket. You’re close enough to enjoy the energy of downtown, yet tucked into a charming historic residential neighborhood.
THE HOUSE • 4 bedrooms, including 2 ensuite bedrooms • First and Second floor primary ensuites • 3 full bathrooms + pool-area half bath • Sleeps up to 12 (8 in beds + 4 in convertible beds) • 2 living areas • 2 kitchens • Large dining room with beach-chic farmhouse table seating 10+ • 5 Smart TVs and plenty of space for families and groups to gather—or spread out
THE POOL & INDOOR/OUTDOOR LIVING Step outside to your private heated saltwater pool and tropical backyard oasis, or open the wraparound sliders and connect the house to the newly renovated pool room.
This indoor/outdoor entertaining space features: • Giant quartzite bar with seating for 8+ • Second kitchen • Ice maker • Comfortable living area • 60" Smart TV—perfect for game days • Direct connection to the pool and outdoor living areas
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS The home sleeps up to 12 guests: 8 in traditional beds, plus a queen fold-down convertible memory foam, identical twin, and twin trundle.
WHY GUESTS COME BACK The combination is hard to find in Delray: a large private home, heated saltwater pool, flexible gathering spaces and one of the city's most walkable locations. Enjoy downtown when you want it, then retreat to your own private oasis.
EXTERIOR SECURITY CAMERAS For safety and security, exterior cameras are located at the front door/doorbell, along the sides of the property and overlooking the pool area. There are no interior cameras.

Thank you so much for the kind review. You and your family were delightful guests and we would love to have you ANY time! Happy New Year!
Great location and very spacious. Worked out very well for our stay. Hosts readily available Wasn’t a beachfront property and wasn’t listed as one. You were able to take a 20/30 min walk to beach.
This house is fantastic , beautiful pool, two separate family rooms making it great for families. Owner is very responsive to any questions or requests , highly recommend
Beautiful home with a stocked kitchen! It was perfect for our family! Jill gave us the best recommendations. Our family enjoyed the large golf carts… easy to rent right next-door. This home has everything & the pool is such a bonus!
Seven of us stayed in this beautiful home and it made our trip so enjoyable. The house is in a great location, clean, well-appointed, and very charming. The owner was terrific about communicating and answering all our questions. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Can't recommend this property enough!!! 10/10
Jill has thought of everything in this beautiful home. Perfect distance to all that Del Ray has to offer. A short walk on quaint streets to Atlantic ave. The host/home have everything you need to feel at home during your stay including clean towels, bedding, etc. Host was wonderful to work with. Hope to stay here again!
What a lovely home to call our home for a week. The house was beautifully decorated, all the items you need are there and Jill is an incredible human being. She is thoughtful and full advice. We all enjoyed every feature of the home. The location to Atlantic Avenue is so close and even closer to Pineapple Grove. Our family will definitely stay again.
Property is everything expected and then some. Jill and Jeffery are great hosts and very responsive. The documentation on how systems work is outstanding.
The ease of a walk to Atlantic Avenue makes this a special place.
When you return home, the pool area is inviting and the water is 90F.
Morning coffee on the porch, with cloth sunscreens for comfort.
The furnishing, finishes and fixtures all top notch. The home is equipped with everything one could imagine.

Property as listed. Furnishings A+

bathrooms nice but wish there was a bathroom by the pool and not part of master bath.
Pool was to hot and we were not able to lower temperature.
Outdoor area needs an outdoor fan bc very hot and no air circulation in backyard.

Owner easy to communicate

Very glad you enjoyed the house, but disappointed I was never contacted about the pool temperature. As clearly stated in the Guest Instructions, I am able to control the pool temperature remotely and would have been more than happy to adjust the settings to your desire within minutes, but was never requested to do so.
Great property for my family of 8.Owner was very responsive to any needs that we had. Property close to all of the restaurants,markets,pharmacies and only 1 and 1/2 miles walking to beach. Lots of sofas and TVs
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Feb 2021
It was my pleasure to host you and your family, Lee. We are delighted that you had a great time! Please come again!
My family rented the house for a family gathering and found it to be perfect. It is in the heart of Delray Beach and is close to all the town has to offer. The house is well stocked with everything we needed for our stay including a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of linens for beds and baths. There is a small grocery store within walking distance and a Publix a quick drive to the east. It is a very cute house!

Family vacation
If you like night life, the beach and hanging out by your own private pool than I'd strongly recommend you try this property. It's a lovely 5 minute walk to "The Ave" which is where all the shopping, restaurants, night life and live outdoor entertainment is. It's a 15 minute walk to the beach although there are plenty of Uber's around if you aren't into walking. The best part about the house is that the pictures on-line do not do it justice. The pool and pool room that is adjacent to the pool is the highlight. Great party and/or relaxing area for young and old. My wife and I went with our 3 adult sons but it would have been just as appropriate and fun if they were still kids. The kitchen includes state of the art finishings and is equipped with everything you would ever need. It easily beats a hotel stay if you are up for time by the beach, happy hour, a great meal and ending the day by your private pool. Lastly the owner, Jill, is a great lady and very easy to work with.

Vintage Delray Retreat
We cannot even put into words how perfect this house is for a getaway. It embodies everything that Delray Beach has to offer. No amenity is left unaddressed and the house supports all sorts of activities in South Florida. It is three blocks through Pineapple Grove to Delray’s most vibrant Atlantic Avenue. It is perfect for all ages and we’d be hard pressed to find even one negative about it!

About the host
Hosted by Jill Haselman
We are a family with successful adult children who live all over the USA and we love to travel. This property is our "go to" family gathering place for holidays and Florida vacations. We love real estate investing and have purchased, renovated, and manage various properties that we enjoy and rent to similar guests when we are away. We have VERY high standards for immaculate properties, attention to detail, and hospitality.
Why they chose this property
This property is casual luxury, beautiful "Key West style" beach home with multiple spaces for relaxing, partying, watching TV and entertaining. Literally the best location in Delray- walk to everything. 3 blocks from the heart of Delray's bustling excitement: restaurants, shops, Old School Square, Farmer's Market (at end of street), and Atlantic Ave... the "Ave". Newly renovated, new heated saltwater pool, beautiful outdoor space and quintessential wrap around front porch with rocking chairs.
What makes this property unique
This is a home designed for people who want an executive-quality family or small group getaway without the hassle of driving anywhere. Private heated, saltwater pool with water elements and waterfall. Key West traditional style and 3000+ sf. Newly renovated in 2016-2017, with four bedrooms (including two master suites, one on the first floor), 3.5 bathrooms, (plenty of room for several air mattresses too), two living areas, a main kitchen and huge dining for 10++, plus an additional party kitchen with ice maker that opens completely-- a wall of giant sliders- to the pool and deck. Four large SMART TV's, luxury furnishings, beach chairs, gas fire table, gas grill, outdoor dining, and two private parking spaces (additional parking on the street). 3 blocks from the heart of Delray's fun, nightlife, restaurants, bars, shops, festivals, famous farmer's market, and a 15 min walk to the Atlantic Ocean, crossing over the intracoastal. Only one block to many fine restaurants, and a four block walk to Walgreens and Publix (grocery). No need for a car at all!! Renting a golf cart is a great idea for fun....
