About this property

Deland Marigold House, Beautiful Quiet Setting, with Comfy Bed, Downtown DeLand

Beautifully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bath House on quiet grounds of The Marigold
The Deland Marigold House, a beautifully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bath House has everything that you need for a nice stay in DeLand and sits in the rear of the well maintained grounds of The Marigold. The bells of St Peters Church add to the peaceful and quiet setting in the center of Deland, just a few minutes walk to the shops and restaurants of the beautiful downtown and Stetson University. This centrally located property gives you easy access to everything Central Florida has to offer. Owners Bill and Erin are close by so let them know if you need anything special for your stay.

Deland has been awarded the “Best Small Town in Florida” many times and holds regular festivals including the Dog Parade, The Christmas Boat Parade, Juried Art festivals, and several holiday parades like Veterans day and homecoming. Deland hosts Bike Weekends to coincide with Daytona Bike Weeks. For the fisherman, Deland hosts fishing tournaments on the St Johns River and the Marigold House has plenty of parking for your boat and trailer. MainStreet DeLand Association - Deland, FL link can show you the upcoming calendar of events.

New Smyrna Beach is a quick 35 minute drive and world famous Daytona Beach with its awesome Daytona International Speedway - NASCAR racing is also 35 minutes away. Both beaches allow driving and parking on the beach. We provide beach supplies for your stay so no need to bring or buy a cooler, beach chairs or towels. Both places hold Bike Weeks in October and March each year. Deland hosts a coinciding Bike Weekend.
Deland is home to Stetson University and the Stetson Mansion wired for electricity by Thomas Edison himself, as well as multiple art museums and theaters.
De Leon Springs State Park is nearby with The Old Spanish Sugar Mill , famous for its pancakes made right at your table- a must for breakfast lovers. You can pack a picnic lunch and relax all day under the huge shade trees, enjoy canoeing on the river or a swim in the natural spring at this beautiful state park. The St John’s river runs through Deland and offers many types of activities at the nearby marina which also has a rustic seafood restaurant right on the water, and fishing near the Whitehair bridge on Hwy 44. The St Johns River also has lots of wildlife including alligators. The manatees winter at beautiful Blue Springs just 15 minutes away. If you do bring your boat, pay attention to the no wake and manatee zones to help protect the large "sea cows". The town just South of us, Sanford, has a Riverboat Cruise that is a great way of touring the river.

And of course, Orlando’s world class attractions are just an hour away, including Disney World, Epcot, Sea World, famous International Drive and Universal Studios with its newest Harry Potter themed attractions. Day trips might include U.S. Air Force Space & Missile Museum in Cape Canaveral, the world class Outlet shopping area in Saint Augustine- the oldest settlement in America, or a trip to Busch Gardens in Tampa. Gainesville, home to the University of Florida is two hours north and Florida’s gulf coast to the West is about 3 hours. Tarpon Springs on the Gulf coast is another easy day trip. Awesome off shore fishing is offered at several nearby marinas, weather permitting. These include Reel Deal Offshore Fishing in Ponce Inlet. Inside the Marigold House you'll find a guest binder which also lists the areas art museums, theaters and historic sites as well as recommendations from guests before you. Remember, you are visiting sunny Florida so take advantage of our wonderful weather to see everything this beautiful place offers.

The Daytona airport is only 25 minutes away as is the Sanford International Airport served by many European travelers. The Orlando International airport is approximately 1 hour away.

There is plenty to do and see in Central Florida and The Marigold House will make sure you’re stay is comfortable. Book your stay today!

Very nice!

This house had everything I needed. It was clean, and comfortable. I didn’t encounter any issues, that people mentioned in their reviews. Everything was perfect! It’s located in a beautiful setting, which is another great thing. I stayed for over a week, and enjoyed my time at the house. The Manager was very helpful. All good!

Beautiful and peaceful as well as scenic and historic neighborhood. I would have loved more time.

Just blocks away from downtown. Small town, but big on culture. The perfect little home away from home. Everything that you could need to feel like home was in the home, appliances, a/c and heat combo. My words and pictures cannot give enough accolades. Very worth the money. And close to the beach, only 30 minute drive. Hoping to visit again.

Great Hosts and Location

The cottage is cozy and well kept. Bill and Erin are fantastic hosts. This was our second stay with them and we couldn't be more delighted with the experience. It is always nice to have a property that accepts pets and is in such a great location. We will definitely be back again.

Good Downtown Deland Spot

We chose the property because we could bring our cat. She followed the sun and our coming and going basking in the deep windowsills. I noted in the reviews that someone mentioned it would have been nice to have some seating on the rear patio (Not in pictures that I looked at). When we opened the back door, Voila, a patio table and chairs! Anytime the sun shined we were outside. When it became too sunny, we just moved to the gazebo. Chilly? bundle up and enjoy the sun, it will warm up in just a minute. The upscale washer and dryer were a plus. With Scott on the spot, making his best effort to meet our needs, we were afforded an added level of security.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Prior to booking we knew the property was a bit dated as evidenced by the photographs. It was our only option due to everything local being sold out. Once inside we did a quick check of the residence. Upon doing so we located 4 dead cockroaches (large) in different rooms of the residence. Although this was an indicator that they have treated the location, it was clear that nobody inspected the property before we got there. On our second night, while eating dinner, we had another roach walk across the dining room floor. I previously sent the manager an email night regarding our discovery the night of our arrival, but decided to contact him more directly after seeing the live roach. During our conversation he was apologetic, but offered no resolution. He also indicated that he had read my email, but did not make an effort to reach out to us until I contacted him the second night directly. Needless to say the whole place just gave us the creeps. I would only recommend this property as an absolute last resort or in an emergency.

Perfect Size

This particular property at the Marigold, was perfect for my husband and I when we moved our son in at Stetson University. The house is a very simple and minimal. The unit did provide laundry detergent, bath soap & shampoo/conditioner!!. The Samsung steam washer and dryer located in the kitchen ran very quiet and was able to watch T.V. while doing laundry. There is room for a twin air mattress if you need extra sleep accommodations. The proximity of the property to campus, downtown, etc., is truly within walking distance. The only con: this unit didn't have outdoor patio furniture or grill on the backyard patio. Beach chairs and a small cooler would have been a added feature as well in the unit. And I only say that because we arrived by air and didn't have the luxury to bring chairs/cooler etc., for the beach trips that we made during our stay. New Smyrna is a easy 20 minute drive. All in all, we will rent again.

About Bill Watford

I am a native Floridian. There are a lot of nice cities in Florida and my two favorite small towns are Deland on the east side of the state and Cedar Key due west on the Gulf of Mexico.

I started buying houses to rent as an investment while I had a full time day job, my first in 1985 and I still own it - the Cedar House of Deland. My full time job today is managing the vacation rentals and short stay properties that I own.

I have several in Deland: The Units of the Deland Marigold, Grandma's Place, and The Cedar House. I also have two in Cedar Key: The TreeHouse and Goose Cove Cottage.

I enjoy what I do and am passionate about seeing that my guests have a great experience while staying in one of my properties.

Why they chose this property

This property is located only 4 blocks from the center of Deland, an historic town with a rich culture going back to the Mid 1800’s. It has been voted the Best Small Town in America several times. This property’s
location is in a very private enclave that most people don’t even know is there with close proximity to historic downtown full of locally-owned shops and restaurants.. It’s as if you are in the quiet of the country. You can hear the bells of St Peters Cathedral across the street and even the gentle waters of their fountain. It is within walking distance of the beautiful campus of Stetson University and also only 3 miles away from the St. Johns River.

What makes this property unique

The whole property is designed for comfort and quietness but centrally located near all the attractions and beaches our area offers. You can enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine in the Gazebo while listening to the bells of St Peters church. Or enjoy a leisurely walk to down for a visit to one of the best downtowns in America. The area boosts numerous festivals annually including the Mardi Gras Dog Parade in February when dog lovers dress them up to the nines and parade their pooches down mainstreet. Nearby Deleon Springs is known as the Fountain of Youth so if the beach is not your thing, try the famous pancakes at Deleon Springs State park only 20 minutes away.
