This house and it's grounds are amazing. I have stayed a night in each one of the rooms and was…read morevery impressed by the decor.

Sadly, the inn is currently closed until further notice. Financial difficulties coupled with…read moresignificant structural damage has resulted in the repossession and auction of the property by the lienholder. I viewed the property in October on the day the owners were surrendering the property. My personal assessment is that it will take between $900,000 and $1,000,000 to purchase and restore it to its former glory. It is currently uninhabitable. I sincerely hope that the right person comes along so this piece of Daytona history isn't lost forever.

Everything here was fantastic. Mark worked with us when our flight was getting in late to make…read moresure we were able to get our key and into our room. The breakfasts were great and it was nice to just sit and have a relaxing breakfast without that restaurant feel. It really did feel like eating at home. There are only 2 reasons that I couldn't give 5 stars, the wireless connection kept going in and out (mostly out) and the shower was definitely not made for someone over 6 feet tall (at least in the room I stayed in). The good news is that they give $10/off per night for skydivers who jump at Skydive Deland. Everytime I come to Deland, I plan on staying here and not the Holiday Inn that everyone else stays at right outside the DZ.

We stayed here for the first time ,this week and will certainly come back…read more Mark, from Rugby,England greeted us and schleppied up stairs with our rather heavy case. I had NO problem with the WiFi and the fact that the Deland police station is opposite gives a great feeling of security. We were in room 4,a pretty room with fridge ,coffee/tea maker and an adequate shower and separate toilet/sink.Remember, the house is 128 years old so space is at a premium . We slept well(need an alarm clock but Mark will wake you!) Breakfast was great! Fresh pot of English tea, a fresh fruit plate as a starter, whatever combo of eggs,bacon,sausage, toast jams you want, Mark will cook to order. We WILL be back! Adrian & Esther

My family had a nice stay here. It was very quiet on this end of the beach, all the staff were…read moreamazingly accommodating, and the beach itself was nice. The rooms were clean and we did have a plumbing issue but staff got it resolved very quickly. I would recommend Tropic Sun Tours.

At first, the peeling paint in the tub and on the balcony, as well as the water heater in the closet made me think we were in for a difficult stay. Nothing could be further from the truth. We loved our stay here. And honestly, for the price, it was easy to overlook some of the disrepair. Pros Easy access to beach Very very clean facility (yes, two verys) Stunning ocean views Clean pool and spa Walking distance to restaurants Grills available to BBQ Friendly housekeeping staff Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need! Did I mention how clean the fridge and stove were? Veteran parking! (Thank you for your service) Cons Maintenance staff was a little grumpy Pool/spa closes at dusk. Old man Smithers (maintenance) will stare angrily until you leave. (Other guests come back after he leaves for the day, we did not) Pool bathrooms are basically in the gym bathroom. They are no where near the pool. No in room laundry, but for about $5 a load there is a washer and dryer on the 5th floor. It is a timeshare, so they will try to get you to attend their presentation. (We did not) On Wednesday we remarked at how wonderful it was to sit on the couch listening to the waves, and how quiet it was...NEVER say that. Thursday night we got new neighbors who could not figure out how to close their door without slamming it, played loud music and talked over the loud music. We took a day trip Friday to get away from the noise, but someone must have complained because they were quiet Friday night. If you're not Daddy Warbucks, this is a wonderful place to spend a few days.

I have owned a timeshare here since 1981. I noticed today that it only averaged 3 stars on Yelp,…read moreand wondered why. So, I read all the reviews. I noticed that most of the one-star reviews are outdated, and no longer accurate from before the significant remodeling and change in management. Even most of those were the typical angry knee-jerk one-star reactions caused by a negative interaction with a staff member, or the fact that they were inconvenienced by specific incidences like the pool being closed due to being under repair. Those reactions might or might not have been accurate, and justified at the time, but the issues I read have all been rectified via remodeling, or management changes. This review is from the end of 2024, and all available rooms have been freshly remodeled with an open room concept. The majority of rooms come in two slightly different sizes. The even numbered rooms are slightly larger rooms, while even number rooms are slightly smaller. All rooms with numbers ending in 12 or under are beachfront rooms with balconies. Those ending in 13 or above are beach view rooms with balconies (except for rooms ending in 17), facing the Andy Romano Beachfront Park. There are those that like the south facing, sun bathing time balconies of the numbered rooms ending in 13-16. I personally love the view from any of the beachfront units, numbered rooms ending in 1-12. There are two available elevators, centrally located, as well as two sets of stairs at both ends of the L shaped building. The front desk is staffed 24/7, but the front door is locked in the evening, requiring room key access. There is also a gated side entry door and the beach stairs gated entry, both require room key access. All rooms have kitchenettes that include a refrigerator, microwave, stove/oven, sink, and lots of cupboard space. The kitchens have a full complement of dishes, glassware, cooking utensils, etc. The bathroom has power ventilation, a sink/vanity, toilet and walk-in shower. Rooms have a closet, a dresser with plenty of drawers, a sleeper sofa, a table with four chairs, a modern cable and internet streaming capable good size TV on the wall and a queen size bed. There is a/c, heating, and Wi-Fi available throughout the facilities, including the rooms. Each room has a balcony with a couple of small plastic chairs and a table. The facility has a good size heated outdoor swimming pool, indoor hot tub, and small gym. There are changing rooms in that area, as well as an outdoor grill area. There are plenty of lounges and tables with umbrellas on the pool deck. Beach access via gated stairs is available from the pool deck or via the Milsap beach ramp directly adjacent to the property. Most week days there also is some limited social activity available for children, and/or adults. Most of the rooms allow two to four occupants, although they do have a limited amount of rooms that can hold up to eight guests. Smoking is not allowed in the rooms, or at the facilities, except on the balconies, and in the parking lot. Speaking of parking, during high occupancy periods, parking can be challenging, but they do have an agreement for overflow parking across the street, in the rear parking lot of the Beachside Restaurant. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed on the property. Official documented service animals, by law, are. There are multiple restaurants within easy walking distance, with modern traffic caution lighted crosswalks to safely get across the often busy five lane A1A. Many gift shops are in the area, as well as a shopping center within a half mile that has multiple stores, including a Publix, Walgreens, and UPS Store. The beach is the typical hard pack, walk-able, drive-able beach of the Daytona area. Directly south of the property is the Andy Romano Beachfront Park, which does not allow cars, so it is safer for children. The park has restroom facilities with modern plumbing, picnic tables, a small padded playground, and an in season children's splash pad. This is an older former hotel building, but with over all good upkeep, and plenty of new remodeling. The manager and staff are all competent, professional, accommodating, and friendly. I unreservedly give my full recommendation to this property for a beach vacation.

The reason i rate it as a 3 is the 'OLDNESS' of the place. I thought I was back in time. It was…read moreclean I must admit and the staff were friendly and helpful. I understand that they are upgrading so that's a wonderful thing. They are located close to eateries that you could actually walk to if needed which is very convenient.

We loved our stay here during the Daytona 500. The Inn is across the street from a marina and…read morewalking distance to 3 or 4 restaurants. Parking was very easy. The Innkeeper, Karen, is a true New Yorker and very accommodating to our needs. She asked us each night what time we wanted breakfast the next morning. She asked for our preferences and remembered the small things! One guest drinks unsweetened ice tea rather than coffee each morning and she had a pitcher ready every morning for him. She offered to drive us to the raceway (we took her up on this offer one day) and she engaged in great conversation with us. But, we also had privacy too. The rooms were clean with private bathrooms. There are 3 nice rooms in the Inn and a lovely outdoor area with fire pit which would be great in nicer weather. There was a nice selection of beer and wine available at the Inn (free of charge, but we replenished). It is a true bed and breakfast experience and not a hotel or Air BnB.
