Everything good to go. Minor issues that were resolved within hours of arrival. Great location with plenty of private areas on property for some isolation and group areas for coming together.
The property is as described and communication is excellent. When we stayed in mid-May, we needed to share the house with a plethora of cockroaches. I went and got poison traps (20 of my own money) and then proceeded to pick up dead roaches all over the basement every morning.Other than the roaches which spoiled it for those sleeping in the basement bedrooms, the property was good and communication was excellent. Confirm pest control has been done before booking.
Overall we had a good stay The multiple bedrooms and baths were good for us, 7 old guys for a quick golf trip. The kitchen pots and pans could use some updates. We only cooked breakfast at the house. We will be looking for something next year with little or no stairs. Thank you for a good trip.
We had 7 people stay here and the home was fantastic! Plenty of space for folks to have their own time when not hanging out together. Easy to get an Uber to/from this location. The kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Loved it!!!
The overall experience at this Salty Dog Daytona rental was really great! There was ample room for the 9 of us to spread out and a lot to do with the various gaming, foosball and pool table downstairs, and the beach nearby. The yard was lovely. the only disappointment was the hot tub which was no more that a wading pool that was a habitat for thousands of tadpoles!!! Overall though, we all had a wonderful weekend.
One more thing worth mentioning were the surprsing expensive host fees! These fees proved to be as much as the rental fees if not slightly more! Although this was an amazing house... given the choice I'd be tempted to find another rental whose fees weren't as high!
We enjoyed ourselves so much! The house was the perfect size for the 6 of us. It was a great distance from everything we needed and wanted and communicating was quick and easy. We would definitely use them again.
We stayed here during our trip to Daytona for the NASP Archery tournament. We had 10 people with us and it slept all very comfortably. It is an older house and has the charm of a modernized 1950s beach home. Management/owners are quick to respond and so very nice. I would definitely recommend this house... possibly any other property they have, since they are very hospitable.
Loved the house. Clean!! Had everything we were looking for. Short drive to the beach. Most relaxed vacation we have had in quite some time. Will definitely rent agaun!!!!
We really enjoyed our stay. Communication with the property manager was very good. House was very clean and had all the amenities you would expect. Short walk to the beach. Plenty of space for large families (we had two families). I would suggest maybe purchasing a larger dining table, but otherwise nothing negative to say!
Our multi-generation family's stay was good. There were minor problems associated with old homes that the property management company quickly addressed. The couch in the basement/1st floor stunk like pot, but we came prepared with Odo-ban, which helped a lot. The overall cleanliness of the house, furniture & sheets was good. The house was recently renovated to include walk-in showers (towel bars/hooks would be a handy addition) on all 3 floors & an updated kitchen on the 2nd floor. The house was originally built in the 1930âs & the old-house character led to many conversations about itâs history. The old sleeping porches (essential to surviving sub-tropical nights before central air conditioning) have been enclosed & showcase the original siding. If you look carefully from the yard, you will notice slight texture differences in the siding, which are fascinating details for those who love old houses. The 1st floor bedrooms are likely blissfully cool in the summer, however they do not have any direct heat during occasional Florida cold weather periods (like during our stay). If you love to snuggle under blankets, these 2 rooms are for you. This property might not be the best choice if your group includes mobility-challenged people, as you have to climb stairs to get to the 2nd floor living & bedroom spaces. The last 2 bedrooms/bathrooms are on the 3rd floor. A SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch happened while we were there...great views from the front deck. Overall, a great vacation.
I stayed at River Ridge Estates with my 17 yr. old son, 4 of his friends and 4 other parents. Overall our stay was fantastic! The house was clean and had everything we needed. When they were not at the beach, the boys mostly stayed down in the basement playing pool and hanging out... reminded me of a frat house down there! My only criticism (minor) is that the house looks better in the online pictures than in person. It is an older house that looks new in the pics. Having said that, we would definitely stay there again, and I don't think the owners are deceiving the public they just had a really good photographer!đ
The house itself is very nice. But the smell in the bottom 2 bedrooms was extremely bad. To the point of nobody could sleep down there. Which then put us in tight quarters upstairs.
I rented the house and gave up my spot upstairs to sleep at my home back in Ormond Beach, so i personally didnât even get to sleep there at all.
The sheets were covered in sand, and we battled with bugs all weekend.
The house setup would of been great for everything that we were looking for, but I wouldnât rent again.
As a group of 8 we were extremely disappointed in the property.
Everything was just as described in Gangstaâs Paradise! Plenty of room for extended family to stay for a graduation and short visit to the beach. Communication was thorough, prompt and helpful.
In town as an exhibitor for a convention. The property was as described, and the managers were great to communicate with, we were running low on propane and I sent an email at 9pm and immediately got a response. The property has multiple floors and bedrooms and enough space for our whole team. Would rent again, especially for a large group.
The space in the house is perfect for multiple families. Decor is so cute and the check in and out process is probably the best I have ever seen in almost 20 years of using VBRO!! The rental seems like it has recently been remodeled because everything feels fresh and clean. We will definitely be back!
