Great spot in a nice little town

Very clean and the AC works great! Love that it’s close to everything downtown. If your in the area you have to check out the “neighbors taco” stand outside of cafe DaVinci.

Weekend Getaway

The house was great. It was dark when we arrived, and the lights were left on for us. Everything was as good or better than advertised. We had our dogs with us and the fenced in yard was a total bonus.

A wonderful visit to the Deland Area of Central Florida

Beautiful and cozy home. Great location, 1 block from Stetson University and downtown Deland! A pet friendly and safe location! Short drive to the Palm Coast at Flagler Beach. Plenty of great restaurants close by! See the Manatees at Blue Springs! Great communication with our wonderful host. We would stay here again. In short, highly recommended!

DeLand house

Overall a great stay, only complaint is that the place could have had a better cleaning our dog found a sock under the bed from a previous guest and the kitchen had some grease stains next to the stove and some stuff underneath the couches

I do apologize for the grease stains and the sock left behind… the guests before you really did a number on the house and almost burnt down the kitchen! We cleaned for 10+ hours after them 😬 You we’re an awesome guest. Thank you!!

I really appreciated that we were able to check in early! The host was very accomidating and the house was very clean and well appointed. There was even a bottle of wine with the welcome booklet! The location was superb! Right in the heart of the downtown action and walkable to everything! There was some "city beat" noise with traffic and construction, yet we slept very well. We felt the presence of a cat that must have lived there before. Every night it crawled into bed and curled up by my hubby's feet. It felt comforting. We also went to the beach (New Smyrna) and Blue Spring to see the manatees! Truly my highlight and super easy drives from the house.We will definitely return! Especially in manatee season!

Super cute home tucked downtown

We came down to Florida to visit family and had a very comfortable stay at this place. While the littles weren’t happy about having to sleep on a blowup mattress, once it was setup with the cute sheets blanket and pillow, they were content to sleep and slept great. Such a great idea to provide a humidifier! The house had everything we could imagine needing while away on vacation and the host was super quick to respond during the days leading up to our stay. I loved the house’ charm and decor. Thank you!

House was very clean! And well taken care of.

However we dìd not understand/realize that the bathroom was upstairs. As we are seniors, this was very inconvenient for the 4 of us.

Great Rental for Couple or Family

The home was perfect for my husband, our small dogs, and myself. We loved staying here and will definitely stay again the next time we visit my brother-in-law. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. There is only one bathroom, which is located upstairs. This was not an issue for us but I just wanted to put it out there in case you have difficulty with stairs. The location was ideal for us! We could walk to downtown DeLand and all the shops, restaurants, and bars. It’s a really cute downtown area that we enjoyed exploring. Daytona Beach isn’t too far either - 30 minutes or so. That was a lot of fun! There’s so much you can do there! We had a great time at the beach! This is definitely the place to stay in DeLand for a couple or a family. Plus the host was so easy and friendly to work with!

We LOVED it! Quaint and comfy!

The property was the cutest! It's evident that the hosts have put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring you have all the amenities and comforts of home. It was situated just a couple of blocks from our daughter's dorm at Emily. When visiting again, we will surely be checking if this property is available for booking. I would give the host and property more stars if possible.
