About this house rental
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.
IMPORTANT DETAILS!!!!!
Our nightly rate is based on a total of 8 guests. We can accommodate two additional guests for a $20 per person, per night fee. Which means a max of 10 guests. Anyone booking who disrespects this will be asked to leave immediately without any refund.

We enjoyed our month in Deland. This house was perfect for our needs and it felt like home. If you like to cook, like us, you will enjoy the kitchen. We walked downtown many times to experience the shops. We enjoyed attending the theater, the Me Strong race, and the dog parade. A very short distance to the church was a plus too! Thank you Kelly for doing all the extras and making us feel part of the community.

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.

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.

We loved our stay at the Monarch House! Location was perfect, close to Stetson and shopping/dining. The house is beautiful and comfortable with everything you could need and plenty of living space. Very relaxing and we enjoyed the ping pong, games and basketball hoop. We would highly recommend!

This is the best property we've stayed at. The home is solid and beautiful. It has historic charm with all the modern conveniences. The hosts have thought of every detail make staying here easy. There is clear signage, clear labeling. There are so many thoughtful features like a large DVD library, beach towels, ear plugs, a cooler next to the ice machine, etc. The bathroom off the master is spacious. The bunk room is fun. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved our stay for the second time! This house feels like home sweet home for my family. The location is close to everything you need. The owners are very helpful and willing when needed. If you are considering staying here, do it!!

The home was lovely and the location was convenient to Stetson University and downtown Deland. At first arrival we were concerned that the home was on a semi busy street but noise was not an issue at all and we slept very comfortably and soundly. We will definitely be staying again in the future. Everything was decorated beautifully.

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.

A Wonderful Home Away from Home
The Monarch House is a wonderful home away from home. It is located near the downtown area and so it easy to get to, and central to many local destinations. The inside is beautifully decorated and in pristine condition. Everything you need is provided as well. We enjoyed a Ping Pong tournament as well as sitting on the front porch at night.
The house is on a pretty busy street, so there is some traffic noise, but we hardly noticed it for the most part. We would definitely choose it again when we visit Deland in the future.

My bridesmaids and I stayed here and it was great! We loved the mirrors for all of us to get ready, the breakfast nook, and the ping pong table. Kelly was such a sweet host. Would definitely stay there again!

The owner was very responsive to us and accommodating. Spotless and charmingly decorated to honor the houses history in the community without making it feel outdated. The entire house was equip with all kinds of little details to maximize your stay. It offers so much: bikes, pinpong table, an array of dvds and board games, crayons and notebooks for coloring, foosball table, fire pit, popcorn machine, smoker and basketball court. It’s a house equipped with everything you can imagine for entertainment. Also, we found the best public park we’ve ever been to with our children- only about a 5 minute drive from the home. We truly enjoyed our stay and felt right at home.

Kelly and Matt made this house feel like you are staying in a home away from home. The Monarch home is very clean, well organized and nicely decorated. They thought of everything to make you feel comfortable-from movies and board games, to ping pong, checkers and bikes to take for a ride. Whether you are enjoying a nice cup of coffee on the front porch or a glass of wine and cigar around the fire pit in the back, you will feel very relaxed. My parents just moved to the area after being in CT for over 70 years. This is their first Christmas away from family. We thought it would be a great surprise to come to Florida to celebrate the holiday. The Monarch Home was perfect for my family, my siblings and their family to stay and have a Florida Christmas with our parents/grandparents. Plenty of room for all to enjoy. Thank you again Kelly and Matt for allowing us to have this special memory in your beautiful home. You accommodated us and were always responsive to our questions. We will definitely tell all of our friends about your home. Happy Holidays-Brian and Traci Feshler

Beautiful Restoration
Fantastic house. It would be nice if you didn't have to contact the owner to turn on the heat or AC, otherwise it's a beautiful old house that has been nicely renovated and well appointed.

One of the best places I have ever stayed at. All good, nothing negative to say about this place and it's owner.

Family Wedding
Our family stayed in this beautiful, vintage Craftsman style home. It has been upgraded, but still has all of the charm. Loved sitting on the huge front porch. Kelly was an awesome host, if we are ever in the Deland/Daytona area again we will book this house again! 😊
