About this property
The Monarch House, in the heart of downtown Deland
Welcome! This house was built in 1920 and has been beautifully restored. It's three blocks from the center of downtown Deland! Walk or take a quick bike ride to restaurants and shops. It is a large two story house (2,400sq. ft)! Ping pong, air hockey, cornhole, checkers/chess table, 4 bikes included, huge front porch for people watching, grill, basketball hoop, large natural gas fire pit, and soooo much more! The bunk room upstairs has its own Livingroom and foosball coffee table! Nothing compares!!
The space Our house has all original hardwood floors throughout. This makes it easy to sanitize and clean. We also made sure to purchase Ruggible brand rugs because they can be machine washed and sanitized as well. All beds have a Tommy Bahama bed protector with 100% Anti-Microbial Silver Infused Hypoallergenic Polyester Fill. The main bedroom has a king size Sleep Number bed with dual side adjustments. Feel free to make the mattress as firm or as soft as you'd like. We believe that this house will be like your family's home away from home, with special attention to providing a premium place to stay in Deland. We teamed up with a local soap maker to provide our guests with custom made organic goat milk soap. A bar will be placed in the master bathroom upstairs and we encourage everyone to take it home! There are sound machine alarm clocks in every room with usb charging ports. Games, books, and a large dvd selection is ready and waiting! In one of the rooms upstairs we placed a "Total Gym" for anyone wanting to keep up with their daily or weekly workout. For the fun side of things there is an awesome Margaritaville drink maker in the kitchen as well as an icemaker that produces 100lbs of ice daily. Our house sits on a half acre with plenty of yard and space for kids to enjoy.
As just another little bonus….. the China cabinets in the dinning room are stocked with tons of local Deland items purchased from shops around town. In case you forgot a souvenir, something for your stay, or gift for someone we have you covered! All you have to do is send a message about wanting something and we will unlock the cabinet for you. There is zero mark up. You pay what it cost at the store. It’s all about supporting local business owners and friends.

David thank you so very much for your honest review!!!! These mean the world to us and I can’t say enough of how easy it was to host you and your group. You’d be welcomed back any time!
The abundance of games made for a wonderful family trip. Our boys loved the arcade machines, air hockey and ping pong. I appreciated the adjustable bed that allowed me to elevate my feet after all that walking in the parks.

Awesome! I am so glad you loved the home and all the wonderful amenities! The adjustable bed is certainly something to not miss out on either 😉
Perfect for family gatherings. The kids entertained themselves with ping pong and basketball while the adults were able to visit. Will definitely come back.

You were literally there and gone no joke! But even still I was very happy to give you a place to feel at home……even passing through. Look us up again for a longer stay? You’d be welcomed back 😁
Great stay at this house. Everything was very clean and the owners have thought of all the little things.
Kids had a blast with the basketball hoops, foosball and table tennis.
Will definitely book again of we ever go back to Deland.

This home is as beautiful in person as it was in the pictures. It was a great place to stay and the location was close to the places we were interested in visiting. The owner was very responsive and helpful. I can’t give enough praise for the home or the owners. We would definitely stay here again if we ever make a trip back to the area.

Thank you heather. Your group was respectful and simply a breeze to host. You’d always be welcome back and we are glad you made our home your home while visiting!
Everything about this property was awesome. Very clean and comfy. The pictures can't convey how cool this house really is! Perfect location for us between the Orlando Airport, Volusia and Daytona. The owners were very responsive and accomodating. We will definitely try to stay again on future trips.

It was a genuine pleasure to host you again and provide a homey place for you and your family during Ian. The fact we didn’t even loose wifi amazes me!!! You’d be welcome back anytime and we were very glad you reached out. Until next time!!!!

Thank you for the great review! You and your group have been awesome every time. Anytime you need a place here in Deland I am always happy to host you all!!!
Everything about it was great! Communication, the house, great location, and so much more. We did not have time to explore the city much due to having to be in Daytona throughout the days we were there. I can’t say enough of how beautiful the house was and especially the decor. Chefs kiss perfection.

I love the kiss!!!! I can hear the "Muhah"! Thank you for choosing us to host you and your family. Every single time I hear how much someone enjoyed the house it absolutely makes my day! Maybe next time you'll come back and grab the #1 spot for the competition....... although getting third is super impressive anyhow. Take care and I am sure we will see you again. Look for really cool updates on the Facebook page I created (the monarch house of deland) for the next time you may want to visit.
The home was absolutely phenomenal and was perfect for my bridal party and myself! Everything we needed was there. My family and friends plan on doing this again but only to stay longer then 1 day. There was not one negative thing I could say about my stay.

Thank you for the kind words and review. Each one matters hugely. Hope the honeymoon is amazing!
My family (three daughters and three granddaughters) were in Deland fora family wedding. The house was perfect for our needs. It was spacious, clean, well equipped and in a great location. We walked to everything in DeLand and enjoyed the downtown very much. The owners were very prompt in answering all of our questions. Thanks to the owners for sharing your wonderful house.

About the host
Hosted by Kelly Russell
My fiancé and I are locals that have a deep love for Deland and the houses that have been here for over a 100 years. We ourselves live in a 101 year old Craftsman home. We bought this home to stop it from turning into yet another office or business and lose it's ability to be a home still. Nearly all the historic homes along 44 have turned into commercial properties. This is our way to preserve the history of the house and to have families come and enjoy the area in a truly Deland way.
Why they chose this property
This house is huge with lots of room to spread out in, but at the cost of a standard hotel room! The house sits on half an acre so you'll have plenty of space that can accommodate any vehicle you may come in. These are things that you can't always find in typical residential neighborhoods.
What makes this property unique
Walking or biking distance to everything downtown. Groceries are half a mile away. It's all just mins from our front door!!
