About this house rental

My Grandfather bought this property in 1966 from the mayor of Daytona Beach. It was two lots with a two bedroom wooden home and a cinder block garage. In 2007 my father demolished the old home and built a beautiful two story river home, it is located 30 miles from Daytona Beach and 90 miles from Orlando. Dual stall covered boat lift for boats. One slip is available, additional slip is $50 per day. A great getaway for peace and quiet. Wet a hook or take a nice tranquil boat ride. The home is strictly a vacation home with never a permanent resident. It is very pristine and still looks brand new. 30 and 50amp camper hookup in the driveway. Additional $100 per day to hookup. All vacationers have been very impressed, commenting that my amateur photos do not do justice! Service is my main concern, I want to exceed all vacationers expectations!
Great attractions to enjoy:
World's Most Famous Beach(Daytona Beach)
10 miles from Volusia Speedway
30 miles from Daytona Speedway
Daytona 500
Coke 400
Bike Week
Biketoberfest
Kennedy Space Center
Disney World
Universal Studious
Animal Kingdom

We love this house along the River. Hurricane Debby stayed far enough away that we had a rainy day or two, but the rain on the water was lovely!

Spacious home with plenty of room to spread out. Spent most of our time out on the water and enjoying the dock. Cooking options and music on the dock were great. Having the ability to use the boat lift was a huge plus especially with being on the main channel. Communication with the owner was great as he responded almost immediately with any and all questions. Overall great stay and would definitely book again! Thanks for having us!!

Our family has been coming to fish in this area for a few years now, and finding this house to stay in was a treasure. Everything we needed was right on the property! After putting our boat in the water we never had to remove it again until we were headed home that is to the boat slip. Our fish were cleaned at the cleaning station on the docks and quickly put away for freezing. Each afternoon we either relaxed while overlooking the river on the dock or the back porch. The house was roomy enough for my family of 4 and the grandparents to congregate when we wanted and separate when we wanted! I can’t say one bad thing about Dave or the home his family is willing to share with world. He even led us in the right direction for meals away from the house.

Nice property. Got to fish the St Johns and we caught several species, including one nice bass. Quiet neighborhood, except for bridge noise. AC worked great once I figured it out. TV setup was complex and hard to manage - probably need to update to just a smart tv. Also lots of bees at the dock to be addressed. Highly recommended place to stay on the river!!!

There were 5 adults, trailered 3 bikes for bike week. Location was centrally located to places that we were interested in visiting - friends in Leesburg, Bike week in Daytona area and the surrounding area was great for riding. Drifters was close by and served great food, looking forward to when Tiki bar is open. Accommodations were above expectations, very relaxing, always looked forward to being there at the end of the day. Our host Dave was available if we needed anything, super nice guy.

Nice place .only complaint is the add states 2 boat slips availible.this is not accurate ,if you look through the pictures it does show that there is a extra charge for the extra slip .didnt even look at the pics because i have allready been to this house before .i would state the additional slip fee in the add listing not on a photo.but other then that everything was great.

We've stayed at this house multiple times and never have any complaints. The house and property are clean, beautiful and absolutely peaceful. The kitchen has everything you need. The grills/smoker are outside on the dock which we used for pretty much every meal. I think we spent more time on the screened in porch and dock than in the actual house. I will definitely be staying here more. Thanks Dave!

We absolutely loved the place. They had everything a person would need. We loved the house, the open room concept and the spacious areas. The dock was amazing with a grill and smoker, porch swing, chairs and blue tooth music to listen while sitting on the dock. Dave was super friendly and helpful with anything we needed. We hope to visit again!

The property setting is absolutely beautiful and well taken care of. There's close access to a small grocery store & a few places to eat nearby. It had many beautiful route choices back to the house after walking around the track all day. Everything in the write up was spot on. Thank You for an amazing place to be all together with family. Hope to come back again!!

Our second stay and we plan to be back. Crappie fishing was really good and the weather was even better. We really enjoyed the accomadations. Great house with three large king bedrooms. Living area, kitchen, and parking makes for a comfortable life. Fabulous dock with boat lifts. David is very polite and is always available if needed. If you want to visit Astor Fl, I highly recommend this property.

Very comfortable inside and out. Spent many hours sitting by the river, watching the boats go up and down. Visited Blue Springs State Park, DeLeon Springs State Park and downtown DeLand. Saw hundreds of manatees at the Blue Spring SP, and even saw one swim by the dock!

This time it was very cold , but sitting on the dock and fishing was productive . A 3lb striped bass was caught . Outside we sat by the fire pit . Indoors we enjoyed cooking in the kitchen with updated appliances and anything you would need to cook and enjoy a wonderful time together . We love this house . it’s very comfortable . It’s our second time and it won’t be our last .

We had to book at very short notice due to Hurricane Nicole. David was wonderful to deal with. They went out to make sure the property was still ok after the hurricane. There was a power outage in the area and he communicated very well to keep us informed. The home is gorgeous inside and out. We were unable to take advantage of the dock due to the flooding from the hurricane but it looked amazing as well. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Given the chance we will definitely be back to take full advantage of all this gorgeous place has to offer.

River was flood stage over the bank and covered the driveway so it wasn’t perfect conditions. Dave offered for a full refund based on conditions right up to the day before we got in. The event we were in town for was still on so we stayed at his home. We will be back 👍

David couldn’t have been more accommodating; after allowing a last minute cancellation due to weather and rebooking us a year later we had the best time possible. The house had everything we needed and David was quick to answer any questions we had. We will be back!

This house was beautiful and full of amenities. The pictures do not do the house and river any justice. Owners were very responsive and helpful. The only thing I would mention is if you are traveling at night the address gets a little odd in google and Apple Maps as the house numbers are a bit weird. Very short boat ride to Silver Glen springs, even shorter ride to Lake George. Restaurant on the water just a few mins away which had a very big selection of food. Dollar General near by had all the necessities. Large screened in patio facing the river was just perfect to watch the rain and wildlife. I think my favorite part was the swing by the boat house, it made for a peaceful and relaxing view. We had a great weekend even though it rained, we had a beautiful house to relax in and play games.

This was our first time visiting the area and we are already looking forward to returning next year, if not sooner. Dave's house was exceptional and had everything we needed and then some. The only issue during our stay was that no one wanted to leave when our time was up! Great communication from Dave upon our arrival. We brought two boats and loved the short boat ride to Silver Glen and pretty much spent every day there. Nice little sandbar to hang out on near Juniper as well. The lake was perfect for tubing and wake boarding, though we did that in the river as well. Great food nearby at Drifters when we were too tired to cook. The small grocery store nearby was a plus as well. We met some really great people in Astor during our stay and appreciate that Dave and his family are kind enough to share their piece of paradise. Absolutely amazing place. Thanks, Dave!

Great location and host

Great location and host

This was our second time staying here for the July 4th holiday and had a great time again this year! Beautiful updated home with plenty of room and location is hard to beat. Comes with many extra amenities such as a smoker and black stone, boat lift and big dock area right on the river. Dave was a great host and easy to communicate with and responded to any questions right away. This year we did have a couple of minor negatives such as one quite nosy neighbor who was annoying and the house wasn’t as clean as it was the last time when we checked in (inside of microwave and refrigerator were dirty and ceiling fans/light fixtures had heavy dust). Again, minor issues and still would give this property an overall great rating!
