Best Host!!

Such a wonderful stay, Renee was very accommodating and we loved all the personal touches. She is very easy to reach and goes above and beyond. The house is wonderful! Very clean, looks just like the pictures. Great bed, wonderful AC and hot showers! The neighbors are super friendly and we loved walking our fur babies around the neighborhood. We couldn’t ask for more. Even our fur babies loved it! Close to everything you need. Again thank you Renee for being such a wonderful host, we can’t wait to return!!

Nice place and helpful host

Very close to downtown and the University. House was well stocked. Host provided items such as bottled water and free snacks. Great communication when we had questions. The only negative was the mattress in the main bedroom which was very uncomfortable.

Cute-Clean-Just Perfect!

I recently stayed here with a girlfriend as we had an event to attend at a nearby state park. This cottage has absolutely everything we needed from the kitchen to the laundry to the linens and even a couple things we had forgotten like Q-tips and Band-Aids! There were even camp chairs and a cooler! Renee was a wonderful host and even provided a vegetable steamer when I inquired if there happened to be one available or I could bring my own if needed… If I ever need to travel to this area again and I hope I do, this is the place I will book again!

Easy to live there

I enjoyed my week at Renees house very much. It felt quiet and safe. The neighborhood was only noisy on Sat night! She has provided many useful items. The very soft big bed forced me to sleep in a twin bed in the front room that gets the streetlight but i told her about all that. Not fancy but cozy.

Good Location walk to downtown Deland

The house was very clean and was comfortable for 2 couples. Renee, our hostess made our stay special by providing bottled water, snacks and stayed in touch via text to be sure all was good. We came here to bike and there is good biking around town leaving from the house.Also many other good trails nearby. The home is walking distance to the historic downtown which has lots of good restaurants and shopping. The neighborhood was quiet and seemed safe. I would stay there again

A charming place in Deland.

The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location in a smaller town is wonderful. There are lots of small restaurants and cafes in downtown, as well as all the fast-food places nearer the highways. Also, not far from Daytona.

Absolutely Adorable

I have stayed in many vacation rentals in the past. I rank Blue Moon Cottage one of the highest. First time ever greeted with a huge snack tray, cold bottled water and personalized welcome note! Super clean with comfortable bedding and a cozy cottage atmosphere. Small enough for two and large enough for a family. Close to historical downtown with off the street parking carport. Deland has so many things to offer and is a great location. Close to Disney and Beaches. Great communication with host. Cant wait to return! and
