Deland Marigold Caribbean, rymlig, bekväm säng, nära Downtown DeLand

We love to hear this, thank you for staying with us. Don't forget to book it early as the area fills up around festivals, especially Bike Week and Nascar races.

Thanks for letting me know about the night light being missing or out, I will replace that. Glad that you enjoyed your stay. Please, come again, if your travels bring you back to Deland.

I sent a long message soon after booking to the email that was used for the booking. That message had all the info about the unit, WIFI password etc and my contact cell. I live 3 miles from the unit and was on site every day during your visit.I'm easily accessible to my guests. The only thing I can think of is maybe a different person booked and didn't forward info. Kevin booked and LeeAnn reviewed. The person that booked would have had access to my contact info. Unless I get a text or call I don't enter rented units. There is a fully equipped laundry room with new washer/dryer just out of the doorway to the right.

A review Coming from someone that has been staying in hotels in and around Deland for 4 years has incite of experience. Glad that you found The Marigold and I look forward to your return visits.

I personally inspected for cleanliness prior to this guest's stay and it was clean. When she checked out after 2 1/2 weeks it was a smelly mess. The word bugs was mentioned. The Marigold is and always has been under contract for quarterly pest control services by a professional pest control company. If a bug does get in, it quickly dies. The 72 degree lower limit on the A/C is good for most people. But based on this I will change the low temperature limit down to 68 degrees for all of my properties. The laundry room is in the hallway near the front door in the center of this 1900 Victorian home and is shared by two other people that live at the Marigold. Photos of this are clear in our online listing. The Caribbean has a well supplied kitchen which is also well photographed in the listing. The brand new straw broom seems to work well on the parquet floors. We do have other style brooms and cleaning supplies on site available on request. Our property manager lives on site and is very attentive to our guests. Hot water settings are a challenge to all owners. If I set the hot water temperature too high, we risk scalding people. What I usually do is set it to a high enough temperature that if it gets switched to max hot during a shower no one gets damaged skin. If a guest would like it adjusted higher, I'd be happy to comply. The TV is in an entertainment center clearly photographed in the listing and is a 32" which works well for the size of the room. There are no other TVs in the unit nor are they listed as available on the site. Our kitchen appliances are all new (within 5 years), work properly and are well maintained. I developed the Marigold 11 years ago and have had a lot of guests visit for varying lengths of time in the eight units there. Many of our guests come back year after year. My wife and I, as well as our on-site assistant property manager, work hard to help our guests enjoy the property and our city. Ya'll come and we will see that you have an enjoyable stay.

There was a receptacle out in the kitchen. I replaced the circuit breaker and its all good now. For the A/C temperature we have found that when its 90+ degrees outside 73 degrees inside feels comfortable to most people. We do adjust that lower in milder seasons which we should have done prior to this check in. The fan unit referred to is an emergency use wall A/C unit in the event the central system fails. We do have folks living in the upstairs unit. When they are walking around upstairs you can hear them downstairs. I have owned the place for11 years and people will say they notice sounds from upstairs but not enough to disrupt their stay. There was a 40" TV in the bedroom left by a guest who stayed with us for a couple of months. He used it with his x-box and I left it thinking someone in future might want to do the same. I have removed it. We do appreciate it when guests let us know about issues or problems.

We stay there sometimes ourselves and I love to sit on the couch in the bay window and read with the natural light. Its so peaceful and I love the bells from St Peter's across the street. There is a serenity of the place that feels like country even though you're near the center of town. And if you're a theater buff you can walk to the Athens for a play and have a leisurely stroll home after a nice glass of wine at Elusive Grape.

Thank you so much for your review. This apartment is in one of the grand old lady Victorians from back in the Deland heyday and an easy walk to everything DT Deland offers.

Thank you for your very kind words. We truly love The Marigold and save the main Victorian House for vacationers and guests. The other units behind are full time residents so there are always people enjoying the quiet space so near downtown.

Translation: "We are already the third time in Deland and have always spent wonderful days in this house. It has charm and plenty of room. It is within walking distance of downtown." Reply: We love hosting repeat guests. The Marigold is a great place to enjoy peace and quite and walk to center of town in 20 minutes when you like. Looking forward to hosting a future stay.
