We had a great vacation at this condo! It was clean and well-equipped, and a great location in Ormond-by-the-Sea. We loved that it was a bit quieter than Daytona, but still close enough to everything.
My sisters and I had a great time. We liked that the condo was not in the crowded area of the beach. It almost felt like a private beach. The beds were very comfortable and the view from the deck was amazing.
Spent 7 weeks here and enjoyed every moment! The place was wonderful and the view from the balcony led to a breath taking sunrise every morning! Walks on the beach were fabulous. Great restaurants in the area gave plenty of choices for meals. Many options of things to do in Ormond Beach as well as nearby Daytona Beach. Definitely a place to get away to and relax.
We had an enjoyable time at Michelle's property. The condo was clean, well appointed, and presented as described. Beds were comfortable and loved being able to just leave a window or a sliding door cracked open and being able to hear the ocean all night long. There were plenty of beach chairs and other beach items stored away in the front closet. Short drive to grocery store, bars, and restaurants. Kitchen was well stocked for staying in for a meal as well. Would stay here again!
We stayed here Jan - March and love the location of this condo. It is convenient to grocery shopping and many eateries. There is no public beach parking making it feel more residential. Feels safe.
The pictures posted for this unit are accurate for layout and such. The âbunkbed roomâ is very small, but it serves the purpose. Kitchen is small but workable. Looks like a newer stove, microwave and fridge. Big washer/dryer is in the kitchen (behind bifold doors across from stove). Good, fast wifi and nice TVâs- good for streaming.âšConvenient water hoses for carwash or for rinsing off.âšThe check in instructions were confusing, but Michele quickly responded and explained. Sheâs good to work with.
What bothered us may not bother you - traffic noise from A1A can get annoying. Also, entry to the pool area is through the locked Amenities room and then locked pool gate. This is an older building and salt air takes a toll, inside and out.âš But all in all (aside from the weather) we had a great stay.
My family and I stayed at this condo for a month, to start with the positive; the property is very well located across a great beach and somewhat secluded (no crowds). The condo itself is spacious for the most part except the kitchen which is somewhat small and minimally equipped. The beds are very comfortable in all three bedrooms.
For the less positive side of things; unfortunately, the property is suffering from gentle neglect where several minor inconveniences were contended with such as broken bifold doors, slats missing in the blinds in most rooms, broken towel holder and clogged shower head. The living room furniture is very tired and is no longer what I would consider comfortable.
Some more serious issues also developed such as leaking fridge, which was replaced within two weeks with a very nice one, the over-the-stove microwave shorted out, the owner ask that I replace it with a temporary one pending resolution and, the stove is literally falling apart from old age is also in urgent need to be replaced.
I also have to mention that some safety concerns were raised with the owner as well, such as the safety interlock for the dryer is broken and need to be fixed, the balcony door no longer locks and the balcony chairs legs are badly rusted and may not support an adult weight. This is most concerning should you visit with small children.
While this all seem to be daunting, we adapted and continued our vacation and enjoyed the beach and the area. The owner was receptive and apologetic about the host of problems encountered and hopefully she will implement corrective actions for the issues mentioned soonest. This condo has tremendous potential and simply need some needed TLC and some upgrade to the amenities.
Great owners-unfortunate timing of seawall construction.
Michele and Den were easy to work with. The check in process was efficient and they were quite responsive to our questions and(minor) concerns (blinds).Unfortunately, there was noisy seawall construction (necessary as it was) across the street from us the entire 5 weeks we were there.It might be interesting to be there without the sights and sounds of construction.
Thank you so much for allowing us to use your property for the week. We had the best time and the setup of the rooms was perfect for us. Everything was as described.
Got in very late. We had the address, but never the name of the condo. All we ever saw was Ormond by the sea. Not knowing it was the area we were at. Drove up and down the street until the owner walked us through how to get in. After that it was good.
Michele, the owner, was wonderful. She was gracious, friendly and easy to deal with. This is a quiet spot but close to everything. The condo was perfect for our girls trip. We had three moms and 5 tween girls. There was plenty of space. We did have to cross a busy street to go to beach but the view was still amazing. We loved the location of the pool too. Having bikes was tricky. Hope a bike rack can be installed. Our kids loved riding bikes around. We will definitely book this again! Thank you Michele!
We definitely wanted to be away from the crowds and this location really delivered. The perfect views from the balcony and having the beach right across the street were just incredible. Michele was so on top of every little thing. I loved the set-up with two of the bedrooms in their own "wing". The only thing that didn't cooperate was the weather, but that just makes us want to come back so we can get the full experience!
Booking was easy, property described accurately, communication with property owner was excellent, we even extended our stay an extra day. Will plan on a return visit!
We really enjoyed our stay and loved that it felt like we had our own private beach. The condo had everything we needed and Michelle was great to communicate with!
King bed was a little too hard for our liking, but overall it was good!
We would stay again!
Michelle was very attentive to all of our questions leading up to and including our stay. The condo was very nice and comfortable. Access to the beach and the ability to rinse the sand off afterward was great. We would definitely stay here again.
There was left over food in the refrigerator from previous guest. Used bars of soap left in showers from previous guests. A cooler full of rotten food/drinks full of slime and mold. The bed frame broke, a thin piece of wood, broke and the bed was not usable for a night. She had the audacity to file a claim on the insurance I had to pay for.when this was in no way a result of our actions. But she had done the same to another guest with a dishwasher that needed to be replaced. This unit is run down and dirty. I guess she will upgrade as insurance claims are filed on the insurance her quests pay for. She was able to file for expenses for her father and the maid's son going to walmart to buy another bed frame and set it up. The insurance sent me a notice of what she was paid, she made a profit. Explained to me that she recently bought condo and had recently moved, so she hadn't been able to be as hands on with the place. Even though I paid the insurance premium and I did without a bed for the night, she made a profit. Never would I recommend one of her units. So sad and disappointing.
