I loved my stay at this property and would love to stay here again in the future

great place to stay had every thing we needed .it was easy walk to ocean great neighborhood people was very friendly. will book a stay there again.

Cute, nostalgic retreat near the sea. Cottage was nicely appointed and comfortable. Peaceful and relaxing area for those who appreciate the quiet life.

What a beautiful little cottage. It was absolutely perfect.

Perfect beach cottage. Hear the ocean from your bedroom every night! Completely stocked with everything you could need. Great neighborhood and ormond by the sea is so laid back and peaceful.

We relocated from MD and used this cottage as a temporary home while we searched for a permanent home. The house was beautiful. Proximity to the beach was awesome. Neighborhood was super friendly. Can't say enough about this home and its owners. All top notch.

Very clean, well maintained and decorated house! A perfect home away from home. The neighborhood is safe and friendly and walk to beach very easy. Beach quiet, but if you wanted more activity it was just a short beach walk to more populated area by park. Communication with owner was outstanding and friendly. We would recommend and will stay here again! Thanks! 😀�

Still a fantastic stay. It was our second stay in the property and we were delighted again.... sadly we had to shorten our stay due to COVID-19.

Everything about the play was nice.

Location of property within walking distance of a less crowded beach. Short distance from park, bathing area with lifeguard, church, restaurants and still so much calmer than Daytona Beach. The house is perfect for two. It had all the amenities and the beds were comfortable. The caretaker, Tim, was a delightful and very helpful after Hurricane Dorian when the internet access went out.

GREAT!

We had a great time with great weather during our entire stay. It was very comfortable and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. This was the third time we rented in Florida and was the best home we stayed at. Tim the caretaker was always available if there were any problems. It was great to have two bathrooms and a yard with actual grass and fenced in for our dog Bauer. Sincerely: Ron and Linda Holasek

Very nice and clean cottage at a 4 minutes walking distance from the beach. Every appliances functional and spotless. Very well maintened front and back lawns. And, most of all, a person , working for the owner , close to the site to give a prompt response to any inconvenience we could encounter during a long stay of 4 months like we enjoyed this last winter ...

Conveniently located this charming beach home was our home away from home. It had everything we needed. Plenty of dishes and cooking items. Within walking distance of the beach. --Even bikes were provided in addition to beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Tim and Connie thank you so much for a wonderful stay. And Tim, the caretaker, was very helpful.

Loved the location. Just a short walk to the ocean. Very clean and friendly neighbourhood.

We very much liked the cottage and the amenities there. It had everything we needed to make our month-long stay comfortable and relaxed with nice furnishings and surroundings. Other than food, we didn’t need to buy a thing! It’s a short walk to the beach and everything you need for your treks there. The beds were super-comfy and the master shower was great. We didn’t lack a thing! I would happily revisit this cute little cottage. Thanks to the caretaker for his attentiveness too!

Our stay here was fantastic. The home was exactly what we were looking for. The owner even called us to give us additional information to make sure our stay was complete. I would highly recommend this location to anyone.

This mini vacation was a gift from my sister and I's boss. We love Ormond Beach, but we haven't had a chance to experience it like this. When we arrived, I immediately noticed how peaceful and friendly the neighborhood is. Our pups were anxious to explore, too. We called Tim D. (there are a few Tim's. Haha) to be let in and learn the ins and outs of the cottage like the auto-locking door secret. The beach decor fits the cottage perfectly and sets the tone for the vacation. You enter right into the full size kitchen, which was stocked enough to get started. Tim D. told us he built the buffet/Murphy bed, which we found creative, and my sister used it for our stay and thought it was comfortable (she's 5'4" for reference). The master bedroom is ultra comfortable (the mattress is like a hug). I love the French doors that lead out directly to the patio. The backyard was a huge reason why I chose to book this cottage. The fencing off to the left did make me nervous with our small dogs due to gaps, but they loved running freely (which we don't have a yard at home). Other highlights include the washer & dryer, which was fantastic to conquer any sweaty or ocean-sprayed clothing, private dock access to the river (sunsets are worth it), and a private beach access path across A1A (it's sea turtle time, but we brought our pups to Flagler 'n kept them out of trouble). We ate dinner at the highly recommended Betty's (portion size wasn't much, but the flavor was yummy) and enjoyed Peach Valley Cafe near Grenada for breakfast (lemon berry pancakes!). I recommend signing up for Plenti and getting good deals on groceries at Winn Dixie instead of Publix. I also recommend checking out St. Augustine if you are interested in history, shopping, restaurants, breweries, cafes and more. It was worth the hour drive north on the A1A. There were pet-friendly patio dining and shops. Parking was a flat rate of $12 in the visitor center garage. Overall, I had a great time in this cottage. It was very very clean, well-stocked, and great for a couple or a small family to bond and create memories. It was in the perfect location for all sorts of activities for a great rate each night. You should stay here as soon as possible.

Tim has a wonderful cottage by the sea. It has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. We will return as soon as we can!

February 2016. Surfside cottage really adorable !! This is exactly the type of lodging my husband and I love. Clean and bright, confortable, everything you could need and more, When you travel, you always forget certain things. Riding our bikes along the ocean was absolutely great, no traffic, just pure joy !! Walkng distance to the beach and on quiet nights, you can hear the waves. All services are close, shopping, good restaurants. Nice landlord, very helpful. Thank you The Cook family and Tim (landlord)

We arrived as scheduled and was met by Tim and his wife. Two very nice people. The house was very clean and well kept. Tim showed us everything and more. The Neighborhood was very nice and all the neighbors we met were very friendly. We unpacked and took the very short walk to the beach. This was the first time the two children (7 and 5) ever saw the beach. They were amazed!!. We all rode the Beach Cruisers that were at the house. The back yard was amazing we ate dinner on the back patio and the girls played ball in the yard. Tim came by and checked on us. Man ! he was also amazing. We took the short drive to Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach. The whole family really enjoyed the day at Daytona Lagoon. The girls are already asking about staying at the house again Next Year and We assured them that we would. A very big Thanks to Tim and his Wife and the Owners. SEE YALL NEXT YEAR!!!!!

We really loved this home! It was perfect for our family of 4 and the location cant be beat. The home was well maintained, very clean and as advertised. I work in the vacation management industry so I am a very tough customer but this home hit the mark. I am sending family referral's your way and I might rebook again this summer. Thanks so much!!!

We really loved this house, the yard, the neighbors and the close proximity to the ocean. Our first vacation since my husbands retirement and we feel so fortunate to be in such a lovely spot. We walked into a wonderful house, so comfortable and clean. Since I was new at rental vacation properties I was delighted. The appliances were newer, the beds very comfortable and the bathrooms were almost new. A Laundry room was a feature we also found to be a bonus. The house is decorated wonderfully and just about everything you could need was there. We would certainly recommend this rental, and hope it will be available for us next year.

We just returned from our week of vacation in Ormond-by-the-Sea and wish that we could have stayed here forever! We're not into the crowded, developed and commercial beach towns like Daytona and we looking for a quiet and relaxing beach getaway. We certainly found it with this rental! The house was beautifully decorated and had everything that you could possible need and more. The fenced in yard was lovely, we ate most meals outside on the patio and we even made a pie with fresh figs from the fig tree! Our beagle enjoyed it as well, he also enjoyed the lovely walks through the charming and quiet neighborhood every day. All of the neighbors were friendly and nice. Beach chairs, an umbrella and towels were provided, so we walked down the street every day to the beach which was incredibly beautiful, very few people there. We cooked most meals at home and got everything at the Publix just down the road, very convenient. Enjoyed the satellite tv on the few rainy afternoons and also went down to Ormond Beach to play mini-golf and go to the movies one day. Probably one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations we've ever had and we will definitely be back. If you don't rent this house, you are missing out!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was very close to beach and close to where family lived. Quiet street/neighbors. Nicely and comfortably furnished. Found the owners and caretaker to be very pleasant and helpful. And there was a fenced backyard for the pooch to run around in. All around, it was exactly what we needed.
