My wife and I needed to get away from the cold and just relax. We booked this place at the last minute. Hevre (the owner) responded very quickly. He graciously adjusted his plans to meet us earlier when we made better time driving than we expected. The property is nicely decorated and well furnished. They were doing some landscaping in the backyard that our balcony overlooked and since it wasn’t done, they kindly gave us a bottle of wine. To be honest, it didn’t bother us at all. We still had a great view of the sky which was what we wanted. The place is a short walk to the beach and I was able to run along the coast each day. You are also just across the street from the river and a short walk to a nice part to see the sunset. The bed is a very comfortable king size. At first I was afraid I wouldn’t like it b/c it is memory foam and seemed soft but I slept great every night. The bathroom is roomy and has a huge shower. The kitchen is nicely furnished. Since we were the first renters, there were some items that were missing but as soon as we asked they provided them (broom, dishrag, hot pad). There are plenty of glasses, plates, silverware, pots and pans. The TV is nice and the cable worked great.
It is a short drive to Ormand Beach. We found several nice restaurants and there is a Publix only 4 miles away. It is an hour drive to St Augustine and 30 minutes to the Daytona Speed Way and the Daytona Airport.
Probably the only negative was the weak internet connection. I had just switched my cell service to T-Mobile and the signal was weak there as well so I couldn’t just use my cellular data.
Hevre was a great host. He was very friendly and responsive to any requests or needs. At the same time, we had the place completely to ourselves and so enjoyed the peace and quiet.
I think as they get into the swing of renting out the property, it will be a 5 star kind of place. We would definitely go back.
