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.
