Oleander is an adorable little cottage. Only complaint was the bathroom. Louvered doors don’t give any privacy.

The amazing host and the cozy cottage!

Oleander is a little slice of heaven for those of us that are low key and down to earth. This eclectic little cottage is 1/2 a block off all that Flagler has to offer, including the beach, gift shops, lively bars and first class food…..all within walking distance from your own private parking at Oleander. Having booked a lot of host houses throughout the US, I can say with great confidence that Andrea is THE BEST host (and I’ve had a lot of great ones) I’ve ever encountered. Not only did he answer all my pesky questions in the weeks leading up to our visit, but he also provided great flexibility on my arrival. His cottage provides all the simplest provisions (beach chairs and umbrella, small cooler, etc.), but he also quickly replaced a missing items to ensure that we had a comfortable day at the beach. It’s not the Ritz folks, but it’s home. ♥️

Perfect location

The location is perfectly walkable to anywhere on Flagler Beach that you want to go. We had our dog, so it is a bit of a hike to get to dog beach. Walked it once, then drove the other times. Weather was miserable, so it was important to us to have so many restaurants nearby.

A Wonderful Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at the Oleander cottage. We loved Betty Steflik Nature Preserve and all the attractions, restaurants, bars, etc. nearby. The location was convenient and Andres was a pleasure to work with. We had the opportunity to meet him during our stay and he was very gracious. The cottage is old time Florida but very well appointed. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect Location!

If you enjoy hotel chains with stale, identical rooms…or if you love waiting for a crowded elevator at a condo…this isn’t the place for you…BUT…if you want a unique, comfortable little cottage with a “local” vibe, this is the one!! It’s located in the heart of Flagler Beach but is enclosed with beautiful landscaping for privacy. The entry way lights up with colored lights at night, perfect for relaxing at the patio table and enjoying the ocean breeze…in the morning, it’s a one minute walk to watch sunrise on the beach! Andres provides everything you need and is such a thoughtful host! We absolutely loved this one and will definitely be returning!

Very Good Experience

This was our first experience using VRBO and my husband & I were very pleased. The accommodations were very comfortable and very clean. Andres', our contact person, sent text prior to arrival time and offered for us to contact him if we should have a problem. Happy to say that everything was perfect! I've already referred a friend for their next get away!.

Cozy Cottage Walking Distance to Everything

Our host was great and left us a bottle of wine and two glasses! My husband especially liked our own private cottage to relax in. Only couple small issues - the music at Finn's is loud and goes late and you can hear it in the cottage. The neighbor had a dog they walked every morning at 6:30am that barked right outside. The bathroom doors are vented so wouldn't offer much privacy for someone with kids or sharing with another couple

Good for 2 not 3

Very friendly Host. The location was close to everything which was both a plus and minus. Very hard to sleep on weekends if on the couch because Finn's bar played music until 2 am. Could be heard in the living room. Great yard for dogs. Outside furniture very rusty and sould be replaced.

About the host

Hosted by Andres Nazario

Host profile image
We began to come to Flagler Beach in 1980 when we were students at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, just an hour and a half away. We bought our first property in Flagler Beach in 1998, and this second one in 2003. We lived in Gainesville for 25 years coming to Flagler Beach almost every weekend. We remodeled all our properties and began to list our first property for vacation rental in 2001.

Why they chose this property

We bought in Flagler Beach because this is a unique beach community. There are no franchises or high-rises. There are no buildings along the beach side with the exception of the Flagler Beach pier and the restaurant next to it. Flagler Beach is Florida at its best!

What makes this property unique

The most attractive aspect of Flagler Beach is its peacefulness and small beach community charm. There are no franchises on the beach, nor high rises. There are several small local restaurants and cafes with excellent food, a couple of galleries, some nice bars, and a friendly community. The most attractive aspect of Flagler Beach is its peacefulness and small beach community charm. There are no franchises on the beach, nor high rises.

Marineland is 10 minutes north, and Daytona Beach is 20 minutes south. Historic St. Augustine is a half-hour drive away, and Orlando and Disney are within an hour's drive. Major airports are within an hour and a half drive.
The sunrises are fabulous at this time of the year. The beach is less that a block away. The ocean water temperature is cool this time of the year, and the sun is bright and warm. At night sit and contemplate the constellations and the planets from anywhere, the patio, the beach, or walking around the town! This is an ideal place for moon lovers, and star gazers. Fish from the beach, or from the nearby pier. Bring your own bicycle and enjoy riding around this small community! During the winter months Right Whales may show up at the beach, and dolphins are visible year round. If you are planning a family reunion, a wedding, or any type of small group activity, this location could be ideal reserving the whole compound of four cottages and one studio.
