About this apartment rental
The Deland Marigold Caribbean is a beautifully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment on the ground floor of the Victorian home that has everything you need for a great stay in DeLand. The bells of St Peters Church add to the peaceful and quiet country feel setting in the center of Deland, just a few minutes walk to the shops and restaurants of the award winning downtown and Stetson University. This centrally located property gives you easy access to everything Central Florida has to offer. Owners Bill and Erin are close by so let them know if you need anything special for your stay.
Deland has been awarded the “Best Small Town in Florida” many times and holds regular festivals including the Dog Parade, The Christmas Boat Parade, Juried Art festivals, and several holiday parades like Veterans day and homecoming. MainStreet DeLand Association - Deland, FL link can show you the upcoming calendar of events.
New Smyrna Beach is a quick 35 minute drive and world famous Daytona Beach with its awesome Daytona International Speedway - NASCAR racing is also 35 minutes away. Both beaches allow driving and parking on the beach. We provide beach supplies for your stay so no need to bring or buy a cooler, beach chairs or towels. Both places hold Bike Weeks in October and March each year.
Deland is home to Stetson University and the Stetson Mansion wired for electricity by Thomas Edison himself, as well as multiple art museums and theaters.
De Leon Springs State Park is nearby with The Old Spanish Sugar Mill , famous for its pancakes made right at your table- a must for breakfast lovers. You can pack a picnic lunch and relax all day under the huge shade trees, enjoy canoeing on the river or a swim in the natural spring at this beautiful state park. The St John’s river runs through Deland and offers many types of activities at the nearby marina which also has a rustic seafood restaurant right on the water, and fishing near the Whitehair bridge on Hwy 44. The St Johns River also has lots of wildlife including alligators. The manatees winter at beautiful Blue Springs just 15 minutes away. If you do bring your boat, pay attention to the no wake and manatee zones to help protect the large "sea cows". The town just South of us, Sanford, has a Riverboat Cruise that is a great way of touring the river.
And of course, Orlando’s world class attractions are just an hour away, including Disney World, Epcot, Sea World, famous International Drive and Universal Studios with its newest Harry Potter themed attractions. Day trips might include U.S. Air Force Space & Missile Museum in Cape Canaveral, the world class Outlet shopping area in Saint Augustine- the oldest settlement in America, or a trip to Busch Gardens in Tampa. Gainesville, home to the University of Florida is two hours north and Florida’s gulf coast to the West is about 3 hours. Tarpon Springs on the Gulf coast is another easy day trip. Awesome off shore fishing is offered at several nearby marinas, weather permitting. These include Reel Deal Offshore Fishing in Ponce Inlet. Inside The Marigold Caribbean you'll find a guest binder which also lists the areas art museums, theaters and historic sites as well as recommendations from guests before you. Remember, you are visiting sunny Florida so take advantage of our wonderful weather to see everything this beautiful place offers.
The Daytona airport is only 25 minutes away as is the Sanford International Airport served by many European travelers. The Orlando International airport is approximately 1 hour away.
There is plenty to do and see in Central Florida and The Marigold Caribbean will make sure you’re stay is comfortable. Book your stay today!

This Vrbo is as pictured. Upon entering, the odor was an old musty smell. The double door entrance is kind of a pain. There was a dead roach on the floor and one in the kitchen sink. The set up was odd. Overall, I’d rate this a 5 out of 10.
4.4
I really enjoyed my stay at the Marigold; it was comfortable and homey. Bill was super easy to deal with and checking in and out was a cinch! The neighborhood was very cute. Downtown DeLand is right down the street and DIS is less than a half hour away. Perfect!

Perfect Getaway Close to Everything
Bill is a wonderful host and it was a very pleasant getaway for me and my wife. Finding pet friendly rentals is sometimes difficult and this one is a Gem. We will be back again for certain.

Can’t beat it for the price and location.
We love DeLand and the Marigold. While some updates could be made, the price is unbeatable and you shouldn’t be spending a lot of time inside while you are visiting DeLand. Too much to do, see and eat. Bill is a nice guy and I appreciate the eclectic feel of the house and it’s layout. Will stay again.

Quiet and homey feel, however could use some updating.

This property is old and needs a lot of work. The owner and manager were great. However there were bugs and the shower and tub were broken. Will not stay here again.

I'm sure its a difficult thing to agree to host three large dogs, but Bill agreed without hassle and charged a reasonable pet fee, for which I am grateful. High marks for cleanliness and for the location, which is walking distance to the Main Street area, and to Lisa, the property manager, who was very friendly and accommodating. I think the listing should disclose that the A/C is "locked" to prevent guests from setting the temperature below 73 degrees. Although there is an additional fan unit in the dining area, it is very noisy and we found it impossible to sleep with it on (it was distracting even just having a conversation). Additionally, there is a good size TV in the bedroom, but I'm not sure it is fully functional (it was unplugged when we arrived and, although it turned on, the screen looked streaky- could have just been the lack of input). There is no connected input device, and it is not WiFi enabled, so if you want to watch TV in the bedroom, you will have to bring a DVD player or some kind of streaming device (assuming there's a connection on the TV, I didn't look that close since we didn't have anything like that). I couldn't figure out if some of the electrical outlets were not working or just finicky (kitchen/dining room) - I was able to reset the outlet in the dining room, but the kitchen outlets didn't want to work and resetting/checking the fuse box didn't make a difference. Although it was very quiet for most of our stay (and the other guests we met were super friendly), the guests/residents in the unit above ours had a 5-6 person get-together one night which we found pretty disruptive (loud voices and lots of stomping on the floor/ceiling until 1-2 in the morning). Overall, I truly enjoyed the convenience of this property and the graciousness of the host and would have been more prepared/understanding of the "surprises", had they been mentioned in the listing (as best as possible of course). And, again, the property was very clean and accommodating to an entire fur family, so the property delivered on the things that were most important to us. Thanks very much!

Great place to stay.
The Marigold was nice and clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. It was an excellent location so close to downtown we were able to walk to all of our activities. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Marigold to anyone looking for a place to stay in DeLand.

Vacation stay
We had a very nice & quiet stay at this property. Our dog was very comfortable here as well. This allowed us to visit our Mother at the cloisters for extended hours without worry.
4.4
Way more spacious than I anticipated. Clean and well stocked. Great parking spaces and ramp.
I was in town for Stetson graduation and preferred this type of accommodation over a hotel anyday. I could cook my own food and relax in the evening. The place is super close to downtown which makes it convenient and close to Spec Martin Stadium for easy access to graduation ceremony. I will be returning during Bike Week because it super close to Daytona and reasonably priced.

We were greeted by Scott, the maintenance man. He helped us into the apartment. It was clean and even with it being bike week quiet. If we find ourselves in the area we will definitely stay here again. Just a lovely place.

Perfect for my visit to Deland
I came to town to watch my daughters softball game at Stetson University. This location is close to everything I needed and was an easy drive to the fields. Everything I needed was provided. I would definitely stay again.

Comfortable, private and conveniently located
The apartment was very nice. Conveniently located close to the center of DeLand and Stetson University. Ample room and well appointed.

This was our second visit, twice as long as the first. We were initially pleasantly surprised by the space of the property, the large kitchen/dining area and the lovely downtown shopping area.
Access to the interstate and highways was a big plus for us too, as our daughter and her growing family were our primary reasons for visiting. We were close enough to visit every day, and far enough to have a bit of privacy for ourselves. Several parks are nearby as well as many restaurants with many cuisines.
Also, the owner soon provided a large mirror over the dresser in the bed room after we mentioned it would be very helpful for us to have an added mirror, along with the full length one in the bathroom.

Waiting for our home purchase to close
We stayed at Marigold for six weeks. Quality accommodation and well located. Washer and dryer!!! Nice outdoor space. Great landlord was very helpful in securing contractors for our new home. Highly recommended

I went for quiet and relaxation because I'm a caregiver that needed a rest. The Marigold was perfect for that. The house is an older mansion and felt so welcoming My one bedroom apartment had large rooms. Everything was provided....even a laundry.... all I needed was my clothes, toothbrush and some food. There was plenty to do in town and any store I'd want was in less than 3.5 miles while the quaint main street was within walking distance. The owner is extremely nice and willing to do anything for you. The handyman was even able to help me with my computer! I'll be back.

Just enough space, clean, comfortable, convenient
Bring a nightlight or flashlight - the hall and bathroom light are off of the same switch and that's too much light if you need to get up in the middle of the night.

The home was very clean and supplied with everything needed for a delightful stay. The location was wonderful; conveniently located to downtown and Stetson University.
