This is the third year in a row we have stayed at this house. We have enjoyed our vacations in this house. I am a little disappointed that some of the small things that were wrong the first time we stayed are still wrong during the third stay. The washing machine drain overflows every time you use it (I have told the owner this the last two times we have stayed here). The dishwasher leaks water on the floor sometimes when you run it. The refrigerator smells and has every year we have been here. We enjoy staying here but some of this stuff needs to be fixed. I think the price and location are my favorite things about this house. If you stay say hello to the lady that lives next door. She is very helpful.

It’s near the ocean and has a nice little pool for the kids. Kitchen is functional but bring a cast iron skillet, fry daddy and a griddle if cooking for more than yourself but that will make quick work of dinner! 5-10m from all the action of Daytona with the isolation of Ormond. Many days on the beach are very private and open for fishing and kayaking out of the surf! See you again soon 4 Aqua Vista!

We had a great week in this house! Super easy walk to the beach. There is plenty of room for everyone with a living room and sun room. The dinning room table was perfect for our family. We absolutely loved the pool area and used it frequently! The only thing that was bothersome was the AC, it was set to not go below 70. On days with the heat index of 105, we needed cooler air. We are already talking about coming back next year! Thanks Mary!

We had a great time in Ormond Beach! We had a little hiccup upon arrival but other than that our stay was perfect. The property was just as described, and the back yard beautiful & was well used by all of us. The house has everything you could need for a great beach vacation. The neighbor is so friendly & kind - we came home with plants from her yard! This was our first time in Ormond Beach & we’ll definitely be back! Thank you for letting us enjoy your beach house Mary!

Overall experience was nothinless than amazing, we had a blast and felt very welcome and at home. Everything was as it was advertised. Mary was very punctual with making contact. Our entire getaway was a blast. The neighbors wrre awesome, the atmosphere amazing, and we would definitely return again without hesitation. Already planning our next trip

Dear Mary, Thanks very much for the vacation in your house. It is very lovely decorated, small pieces of floridian Flair. Nevertheless your house is very old and some things should be renovated. Within both bathrooms the windows are not possible to open, we had to use a bottle for holding up the windows. We think you should know, that some parts have to be renewed: Fly Screens. Pink Bathroom: sink + Toilette, it's nasty. showering fitting White-blue Bathroom,Soil pipes stinks Screen or blinds are missing(neighbor did renovations on the roof and could look into the bath) The Kitchen is old and inside the cupboard it's smelling very hard, we did not used the dishwasher because of the rust. It is nearly impossible to open the frontdoor from inside, because the doorknob is not to turn quite right. Some light bulbs and light switches doesn't work. Best regards Richarda, Gerd, Daniel & Franziska

Great location, close to the beach and nice property. The backyard is beautiful and relaxing, with a nice pool. Some things are a little dated, but everything worked. Would rent again.

Really good value. All amenities provided. A bit of miscommunication upon check in

A beautiful house very near the beach (about 90 yards walk across coast road and you are on the beach). Has a small but very nice pool in a wonderfully landscaped back yard. Brand-new washer & dryer. Long bench table in dining area is good for families. WIFI and cable TV both worked well. The dishwasher works well but is getting old and should be replaced soon.

First off checking in was horrible.We finally had to contact Vrbo to get the door key code.House was in need of many repairs.just to lost a few the roof in the bedroom leaked so bad we had to move the bed to the other side of the room to keep the water that was pouring in from the ceiling fan from hitting the bed.The property owner would not answer the phone or messages.The master shower leaked on the floor,the lights where going in and out, but only at this house.When it rains water poured in from the pool area into the house.The front doorknob fell off,the chairs that where there for the beach only 3 could be used..I would not recommend staying here until repairs are made .Tje water pouring in from the ceiling was not only a nuisance but a major safety hazard as the bedroom lights could not be used.

The pool and location to the beach was excellent. The house had many issues. Roof leaked on to master bed during rain, (owner did fix) front door knob fell off, the lights flickered all through stay, the appliances were extremely old, rusty and did not work properly. Frig froze all fruits/vegetables, oven cooked outer edges while raw in the middle. Slideing door did not lock.

This was our fourth time staying at Mary's home and we have loved it every time. Perfect location so close to the ocean. She has everything you need for the beach. Our favorite part of the house other than the location is the backyard. we love swimming and enjoying the scenery and privacy the backyard. We will definitely be back next year, Thank you Mary.

Easy process and it is a great place to stay!

Overall this was a lovely house at a very nice location. Loved the private pool and private beach access. Great beach themed place. Will definitely consider staying there again the the future.

We've been coming to Ormond Beach for the past 6+ years and this house has by far been the best. We have the beach just a minutes walk and the privacy of our own pool. The house is fantastic but you couldn't keep me out of the back yard. I'd get up every morning and sit out back with my coffee listening to the birds sing their morning song. I'll definitely come back to this house.

Mary was a very sweet lady! It was so nice being able to walk to the beach and come back to the backyard to relax in!! We enjoyed two new (to us) restaurants while we were there. The Racing North Turn and Hulls Seafood. We would highly recommend both of those! Thanks Mary for renting your house out!!

We enjoyed the home very much it had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was supplied with appliances, dishes and cooking pans, the garage had all the items you needed for the beach- chairs, cooler, wagon, boogie boards etc. The pool area was very tropical the landscaping was beautiful even had a outdoor shower. We enjoyed our stay and would return to this home.

Owner very easy to work with. Perfect home and lush landscaping. Home very close to beach and great local restaurant. Looking forward to next trip💕

This rental was not fit for anyone to stay. The house next door was boarded up with people living in it. The inside of this rental had thick dust on the vents, food and crumbs on the floor, grease stains on the cabinets and a dirty washcloth with half used soap in the shower. We also had to wait a full hour after check in time to see that it was filthy. The owner agreed to refund our money, but we haven’t received it yet.

Great place for a relaxing week at the beach

Booking process fast and easy. Response time was fast. Rental property was as pictured. Great place and location

Mary was great, everything was clean and organized, we really enjoyed our stay. The pool guy never showed to clean the pool. It wasn't that big of a deal. Thanks

We enjoyed our stay here. The house was comfortable and had every thing we needed. The swimming pool was great amenity we all enjoyed especially the grandkids. The beach just a short walk away. It was nice to sit out front to watch the sunrise as we drank our coffee. Mary was prompt with responses to our needs. Would love to come back again.

We enjoyed our stay at Aqua Vista! The backyard was probably our favorite part with the beautiful landscaping, pool, outdoor seating for dinners and lounging, great gas grill and outdoor shower. The house was very clean and the kitchen, albeit small, was well-equipped with all kinds of kitchen supplies that we needed from pots, pans, bowls, utensils, etc. The sunroom provided added space for our teenage boys in lieu of a 3rd bedroom. The house was also well-equipped with an ample garage with boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas and even wagons to haul things for the short walk to the beach. Our only recommendation might be some air mattresses instead of the pull-out couch. It is definitely a great house for the distance to the beach/ocean at an affordable price.

I was excited to stay here again. everything we needed was available. We stayed most of the week at the house relaxing and enjoying the comfort of your home. Thank you again for sharing this lovely home and I will be back.

What a wonderful place! Just steps from the beach. We had an amazing time and hope to return in the future. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Mary was wonderful and asked that we call her with if we had any issues or complaints (which there weren't but it was great to know that she was available if needed). We would definitely recommend staying here if you're traveling to Ormond Beach.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary in Ormond By the Sea. We had such a wonderful time at Mary's home....everything we needed was immediately on hand. The location was perfect and the stay was equally perfect. We appreciate Mary sharing her lovely home with us and making our celebration so memorable! Thank you so kindly Mary!! We will be back!!!!!

First visit to this property and were very happy with all aspects. All amenities were included and other than groceries there was nothing else needed to bring. Excellent beach, great pool in the private back yard, quiet neighborhood but minutes to downtown Daytona.Our family would be more than happy to return. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mary, a lovely lady who is more than accommodating.

This was our second visit to this home. Just an "excellent" home away from home. Close to the beach & within walking distance to some good restaurants. The house itself is very cozy & has all you need for that relaxing vacation. For us it is that perfect place to vacation yearly. You have to love that Florida sun & this home makes it that much more enjoyable. Thanks Mary for making this home what it is & we will definitely be returning in the future.

My husband and I both work in Public Safety so when we have an opportunity to get away, it's very important to us. We rented this home for 7 days and as we were driving and began to get close to the property, we were already excited! Within close proximity there are restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. If we didn't want to drive, we could ride our bikes. The house itself had everything we could ask for. We didn't have to worry about loading our chairs and floats in the car. When we left the beach which is right across the street, we enjoyed sitting around the pool at night and cooking out on the grill that is also provided. One of the best features of this house is that EVERYTHING is there. All we needed was our clothes and there is a nice washer and dryer so we didn't have to bring a lot of things anyway. The property was very clean, neat and organized. I highly recommend this place for your vacation. The owner was so easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. We will consider this our place for rental anytime we want to be at the beach. I have absolutely nothing negative I could even think of!

We had a very relaxing vacation in your lovely home. The short walk to the beach was perfect for those who love the ocean, and the pool was an extra bonus. Thank you for sharing this lovey home, I know we will be back.

This was our second stay at Mary Alice's cottage and as last year's, it was wonderful. It was so nice that she had a Christmas tree for us. My husband and I (and our small Shih Tzu) stayed over the holidays while visiting my sister in Ormond Beach. The cottage is in a great location and kept so nice. Mary Alice has everything you would need. I strongly recommend a stay there. Thank you Mary Alice for providing such a nice home.
