About this property

Welcome to Florida! !Everyone who has stayed at my cottage have told me “It is So close to everything!' The beach, the Halifax River, restaurants, shopping, movie theater, etc. The next thing people have said is how private, peaceful and cute. My offering has a covered front porch with two rockers and a little table for your morning coffee or tea. As you enter the front door, you will see the living room and then a small step down leads to both the kitchen and bedroom. and bathroom. Please note: It is a divided home (separate private entrance for owner and guests)
. Owner is readily available for any questions or needs you may have. The pool area has a covered patio for outside meals, and an in ground pool (with a love seat built into the deeper end). Occasionally owner may use the pool but generally allow as much privacy as possible for my guests. The bedroom has a queen bed. Bathroom with tub/shower combo.

PLEASE read house rules re pets and smoking.

*****Also I make the washer and dryer available for my guests in case they run out of clean clothes. One family arrived and began washing 6 loads. This is not intended as a substitute for a laundry mat but only to help you if running out of clean clothes at the end of your stay. Thank you for your understanding

Activities and Attractions: Daytona International Speedway (Coke Zero , Daytona 500, Turkey Rod Run); Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, Orlando (all theme parks, Fun Spot Amusement Park (2 in Orlando); St. Augustine (outlets, old city)

We have a 21 ft SeaRay and if you want to go out on the St Johns River or Halifax River (maybe even take a short ride into the ocean out of Ponce Inlet), let us know. $275/4 hrs and if you are having a great time any additional time is on Danny It makes for a great vacation memory !

Perfect

The space was exactly how it’s pictured on the website. It was so clean and adorable and comfortable, and the outdoor space was beautiful. There was space for my dog, and the pool area was covered and had the most comfortable furniture even the outside in the front gated area had comfortable seating. The neighborhood Was so nice and I felt safe there. Also, the house is close to everything you could possibly need there’s a Publix, There’s a Bealls outlet and a liquor store for toddies by the pool. I can’t say enough about this space It was perfect.

How great was our Stay

I hesitate to brag about this place only because if the word gets out, we may not be able to book our next stay. We are going back. The accommodations were above and beyond our expectations. Decorated with very good taste, so very comfy. And our host was so very kind and helpful.

Home Away From Home

When we first got there we thought it was going to be loud and interruptive being attracted to the owners home. This just made it more accommodating for anything we needed. We really felt like we were at home without all the responsibilities. We enjoyed the pool to ourselves and the bikes. I would definitely recommend this place for couples or for singles.

Cute and relaxing

It is a cute little Cottage. Very comfortable and quite neighborhood. Really enjoyed the pool and your flowers are beautiful. Its really a nice place. The. Mosquitoes were a little bad at night ..And Although I did not realize.and (I could have read it wrong.). That the cottage was a part of your house and the pool was directly behind your part of the house ..Nothing against you by no means. I didnt get to meet you and you sound like a wonderful person and Im sure you are.. But Most people when they go on vacation,especially a couple like their privacy.. It was just a little too close for us.. But we really enjoyed our stay

A cozy beach cottage

My husband and I traveled to Florida to escape the Michigan winter and visit family. Before we made the trek home, we wanted to spend a few days near the beach and found this lovely cottage in Port Orange. It's nicely decorated, well-supplied with everything travelers might possibly need, and conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood close to stores and beaches. Miriam greeted us when we arrived and made sure that we were comfortable. She also provided us with tips about where to go and what to do. We're already planning a return trip next fall or winter. Thanks so much, Miriam!

Daytona 500 Stay

Our stay at this property 5 miles from the Daytona Track and 3 from the beach was very comfortable in a cottage that was like home not a sterile hotel room. Hosts were very accommodating and our pet dachshund loved the yard and them. Definitely will return. Don’t believe negative comments - not our experience at all.

In a quiet residential neighborhood

Just a few miles from Daytona airport and the speedway, but really convenient to get to them, the beach, or the restaurants etc. A previous guest hadn’t washed the dishes and cutlery very well so we had to wash things before using them (we would do that anyway but it would have been nice to take something out to use without finding it had been put away soiled…). From a personal point of view, I wish hosts wouldn’t rely so much on plug-in artificial scent devices which are uncomfortable for many people, and I’d prefer to see fewer religious items unless the listing makes it clear that religion is particularly important to the host.

About the host

Hosted by Miriam Carney

Greetings! I have lived in the Port Orange area since moving from the Garden State (New Jersey) in 1989. I have never looked back (well maybe a few times :)) Seriously, I love "my" beach, the tropical flowers, blue skies and temporate climate (most of the year). I have worked and still do as an RN in Home Health which I love. I have four grown daughters and seven grandchildren. I used to rent thru Home Away seven years ago when I rented Just Gotta Get Away when it was a full home. My family came to live in the area so I suspended my vacation rental. Two years ago we made a "mother in law apt, ie cottage"and as of June 14 I will begin renting the cottage. As a nurse, I have cared about and for people and I try to do the same with my rental. In the past, I always had great reviews of vacationer's stays (can provide if requested--kept the guest book and probably can still find in the archives on Home Away) The cottage is perfect for a couple or a few friends who are just trying to
"get away"

Why they chose this property

Until about 2011 I had rented my home which consisted of 3 bedrooms 2 baths living room, family room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. My family needed housing with their four children Somewhat temporary turned into 7 years, with a home conversion to include my cottage offering —initially designed as a mother in law apt but more like a cute cottage You can choose beachside but if you choose Just Gotta Get Away you will be 3 miles to the beach, cross over the Dunlawton Bridge to get to the beach and see such a beautiful view--I have never lost the WOW feeling as I get to the top of the bridge. My cottage is private, walking distance to the grocery stores, Dunkin, restaurants as well as by bike (which I supply 2). A short drive will take you to the Port Orange Pavillion for the movies, shops, other restaurants (fav Culvers, San Diego Grill) You can relax by my pool without dozens of people joining you. You can hear the sounds of the pond and enjoy the beautiful flowers. When you leave to go home, I think you will be glad you made the decision to just get away at my cottage offering.
