Although this is a small "Time share" Condo, They rent to the public also. AND…read moreit's in OBS (Ormond by the Sea) which is much quieter than Ormond or Daytona Beach which are within 2 & 6 miles from each other. They are a small and quaint condo RIGHT ON THE BEACH. The prices for a large or small unit that have kitchens, 1 or 2 bedrooms with bath are not astronomical like other places. Did I mention that there is no driving on this part of the beach so you can sunbathe, relax, have your kids play here without the pressure of someone running you over. Wow, the updates and upgrades are continuing to improve The hurricanes haven't slowed them down The Cam and General Managers are dynamite. They work perfectly with the great staff. This "Timeshare" also continues as a hotel so you can call them for reservations or even better, go on Expedia where you can get excellent deals The staff as I mentioned, are incredible. Most of them have worked together as a well oiled machine for years. (This tells you something when there aren't any turnovers with staff) Owners that come year after year are extremely satisfied with care of their condos and even themselves. Again, they treat you like family. What I love about the newly experienced staff is when/if something isn't right they will IMMEDIATELY fix any problems that happens to occur. They continue to have staff and owners meetings once a week You can come in on Wednesdays, have coffee and donuts and express any problems or just tell them they are doing a great job They will tell you about the makeover and improvements that they are making for your stay to be as memorable They want you to have the best experience you want while enjoying your vacation. The Management, staff AND the maintenance is professional & understand the need to relax, have family parties, reunions & cater to your enjoyment while you are staying there. Did I mention they are RIGHT on the beach? YES, walk outside your door, past their clean well cared for pool, and onto this side of beach which is WITHOUT cars driving NOW, I didn't know I had to explain this but just like ANY condo, hotel, motel and resort Ocean FRONT and Ocean VIEW are NOT the same Ocean FRONT means walk out the door or balcony and you see the ocean Ocean VIEW means you will be able to have a view of the ocean . Sooo, Be aware of this when you book ANY resort that there is a clear understanding of what you are booking Trader's Inn also accommodates Bike week, Spring breakers Car shows, special events and more They do book quickly for these events even into the next year so get you booking in early so as not to miss out Let's talk to you SNOWBIRDS There are new deals for you if you are planning to spend some time here. Give them a call and the professional staff will give you the information I did say Trader's inn is onEXPEDIA The reviews are amazing because of the updates, etc, That they are booking the units FAST. Some are booked for 2026 already. OK, one (1) more thing. They announced particulars on the billboard outside. YOU can now rent the sign to put YOUR announcements up (See management for details) THINKING about buying weeks in timeshare? Talk to their specialist, she is experienced in giving you details WITHOUT the run around, confusing spiel. REMEMBER The Sea will set you free

On the beach vacation rental. This condo in Ormand by the…read moreSea is very comfortable and in a great quiet beach location. The condo was stocked with basics and had all the comforts one needs. The best part was the backyard: beautiful quiet beach and warm clean pool. The waves were a little wild due to Hurricane Erin, but the beach was clean and mostly empty. Also spotted dolphins in the afternoon and on another day mid morning. This was unit 801. Lovely balcony overlooking pool deck and beach. The exterior o f the building is old and needs some love but inside the unit was clean and cozy. I would for sure stay here again.

Workmen who didn't speak English were on our balcony often trying to repair the crumbling exteriors and balconies. We were unable to have an unobstructed view of the ocean because of the very large forklift which often was parked right outside of our window. No, the landlord, Carol Rogers, did not inform us prior to our rental that all this repair work was going to be going on. When we tried to cancel our reservation she refused to refund a month's rent which cost us $2800. I would NEVER rent from this person ever again.

The condos were good--one had furniture that was a little tired, the other was better. It's a great location on the beach with beautiful sunrises. The area around the pool is a little narrow for lounge chairs. In both condos a new renter was arriving the same day we checked out. Our deposit was to be returned after a walk through was completed (this per one of the owners). We assumed this would happen before the next renter checked in that day. However, it took several inquiries and over a month from our departure for our deposit to be returned. RLM

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.

Indies House Unit 201 We had the unfortunate experience of…read morerenting this unpleasant unit for 4 months [Jan-Apr 2023]. To begin, there was much construction being done with jack-hammering noises from early morning & all day long. There were workers on our balcony which precluded us from using the balcony. There was a huge lift parked outside our window all weekends blocking the view of the ocean. Do you think the owner, Carol Rogers, mentioned or disclosed any of this to us prior to our rental ... NO SHE DID NOT! The unit itself was dirty & looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. The Owner did not collect any of the County or State rental fees which made us feel very uncomfortable for legal reasons. The elevator didn't always work which was problematic for me since I just had had a Total Knee Replacement. We gave due & proper notice that we wanted out of our last two months, but the Owner refused to refund our money for April even though we had let her know 3 months prior. Bottom Line... there are better rentals in The Indies House. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE EVER RENT UNIT 201 ... it was that horrible of an experience.
