It's perfect located close to everything and still allows you a sense of privacy and serenity.

When you go on vacation there is that fine line of packing way too much to packing too little. For me it is not a vacation if I can't do things with my hands, some type of craft, etc. But doing a craft at home and doing a craft somewhere else can almost cause stress for me. I mean, what if I forget to pack something. But, perhaps my favorite thing about going to this house is it was "like being at home." I needed reading glasses, which I don't usually wear, but there they were in a glass bowl waiting for me to put them on. "Boy, I wish I had a little school glue!" And there it is in the laundry room! "If I had a piece of tape to hold the corner of this paper down." And there it is, in that glass bowl! But it was more like home than that! The beds were comfortable! There was some type of breeze in the house no matter where we were as long as we had a ceiling fan on. Sometimes it's not about how cool it is in the house but the air moving that is more important to us. We were allowed to take our dogs and one of my dogs seemed extremely happy to be there. Not sure what that was about but it was good to see. I was able to just open the back door and let them out into the securely fenced in yard. (They are 12 and 14 pounds.) We were close enough to the beach to walk and enjoyed the beach breeze every day. The week we were there the weather was beautiful! A few times I walked through the neighborhood with one of my dogs. The neighbors seem very friendly and I even met a few furry friends while out. The flowers there are also beautiful! There was one day that I went out and picked several varieties of flowers and made a lovely arrangement. I wish I could upload at picture of it on this review. We usually go to Ormond once a year and this house has been one of our favorites. I recommend it to any family that has between 2-4 members. I promise you, you will enjoy your stay. Melanie

This is a wonderfully comfortable 2 bedroom house, with everything in it that you could possibly want for a vacation, including bicycles and beach gear and if it's not there, Mary Anne the owner will get it for you! On a quiet friendly street close to the beach and a lovely garden as well, which our dog really enjoyed! The perfect place to come and relax and spend time on the beach.

Had a awesome stay!!! House is very nice and located in a great area. The owner Mary is very nice will def be renting again next year

Property was very clean. Owner stayed in touch with us during our stay to make sure we were okay and to see if there were any issues. We will definitely tell our friends and family about this house for future rentals. We can't wait to go back. The house is within walking distance to the beach one way and the river in the other direction.

The house is just as described. It is clean and comfortable. Wonderful fenced in back yard...perfect if you are traveling with animals. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and the neighbors are friendly. Not far from anything. The owners are great to work with. Hope to return next year for 2 weeks.

We stayed for 3 weeks. They had everything we needed and then some. The house was clean and comfortable. Plenty of things to do in the area.

The house has everything one needs to relax at the ocean. The owners even have bikes and a cart to take to the beach if so desired. The neighborhood is very nice and only 1 mile from a really nice dog park/city park with playground equipment. The beach is just a walk down the road and the river is even closer. Ormond Beach is a great place to visit and the house is perfect for a small family or two couples exploring the area.

A clean little cottage in a nice oceanside neighborhood... We even got a laugh about how detailed the owners were about labeling everything down to listing all the DVD's available in a binder... The beds were very comfortable and although the kitchen is small it is well equipped for cooking... FYI - They have an entire collection of Dean Martin Variety Hour shows on DVD - LOL... Lots of restaurant, bar and grocery store choices within a mile of the house... And of course the beach is a short walk...

We stayed a few nights over the Labor Day weekend and found the nearby beaches to be beautiful, within walking distance, and fairly quiet for the long weekend. Property was clean and was exactly as advertised. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced off backyard, and we liked being within a short drive to many great restaurants.

We stayed at this beautiful property for 2 weeks. Everything is as stated on the website. Very close to the river, quite neighborhood. We saw some very beautiful sunsets just around the curve from the house. You will not be disappointed if you book this home, nice fenced yard for the puppies too. Thank you Mary Ann for a great 2 weeks.

We were so happy here. Ormond-by-the-sea is an area that is central to all the fun places yet far enough away to feel private. This home was fully appointed with many personal touches to make your stay absolutely perfect. The fenced in back yard was perfect for my dogs and the neighborhood is nice and safe for walking. The description of home was perfectly accurate. It was clean and comfortable. The owner answered an inquiry I had right away. I would absolutely recommend the property to my friends and family and I would definitely rent again.

We have visited Florida many times over the last 25 years, but never experienced the comfort, peaceful, and quiet neighborhood we stayed at here in MaryAnn's home. As u get older I guess all the noise and congestion from being in a cramped hotel gets to u, this place has spoiled us in one week. We would really like to come back here real soon, even if it is just to relax. The pictures shown of the place are super, but it is even more beautiful being here. Everything was right here at our fingertips, and we needed for nothing. The home is very private and the fenced in backyard was amazing for just sitting out and reading and drinking your coffee. The neighbors on both side were so sweet, one of them helped my husband move his little trailer that he pulled down. The other neighbor had a camper for sale and when our friends came over and he took all of us to look at it, I loved it but I told my husband, I would much rather rent from MaryAnn instead of having the camper. The home was in walking distance to the intercoastal waterway 1 block and 2 1/2 blocked to ocean but with my back and spine issues, I drove up and parked right at the beach and spent the day. If MaryAnn will have us again, I surely will book with her again. My husband loved the enclosed garage so he could keep his motorcycle inside and not have to worry about it. The big standup shower off from the Florida room was awesome, I had to throw that in here! I really can't say enough about this home, except if u r looking to rent, this is the place! Thanks again, MaryAnn

We stay for two weeks the trip was wonderful, the home owner was very accommodating, my children enjoy the visit also, the beach is near, the sunrise was beautiful on the patio every morning, will return next year. Thanks MaryAnn

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation weeks, and look forward to our next visit. The cottage is located in a quiet neighbourhood, very close to the inter coastal waterway and just a pleasant stroll to the beach at the other end of the street. If preferred you can drive to the beach, and park right there. The location is perfect, close but not too close to the noise and hustle bustle of Daytona. With open stretches of sandy beach, and just a scattered number of beach blankets you really feel like you are "on vacation." We found the property to be very clean and well equipped with everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Furniture is clean and comfortable. The beds are in excellent condition and conducive to a great nights sleep. We would not hesitate to recommend this property.
