About this property

A BEACH LOVER'S PARADISE!!! Beach House with views from every room in the house!

The Reed Beach House is located in a small, quiet, residential beach town, located less than 7 miles south of the famous boardwalk in the heart of Daytona Beach!
The most frequently asked question I get from perspective guests is “Is the house ON the beach? I mean, right ON the beach?” I don’t blame them, there are far too many scams out there. But thankfully, I can come back with an enthusiastic 'YES! Smack dab on top of the sand dunes! Any closer and we'd be jumping off the deck and into the ocean during high tides!'
One of the very unique features of our location is that we're on a condo-free section of beach designated as a “turtle nesting area”. What that translates to for the beach-goer is: no motorized vehicles, no dogs, fewer tourists, privacy, serenity, and security. And who knows, you could be one of the lucky few to witness a mother sea turtle laboring across the sand to lay her eggs or hatch lings blindly making their way back down to the water to swim out to sea!
The Reed House has all the amenities available at your fingertips to provide you with the perfect worry free vacation.
The main house has central heat and a/c, 3 furnished bedrooms complete with ceiling fans, queen sized/double beds, adequate closet space and large windows with spectacular beach/ocean views. The 4th bedroom/bath is attached with a separate entrance. It is located on the southwest side of the main house, has Central AC and heat, ceiling fans and is perfect for that couple that wants a little more space and privacy. The trade out though is the lack of ocean view.
We have WiFi throughout the main house and signals are strong on the deck and screened room. A WIFI booster helps to strengthen signal in the downstairs bedroom, but it's not at 100%.
The large open kitchen is equipped with nearly every conceivable appliance (both large and small). The Florida room/den includes a flat screen HDTV w/ cable, smart DVD player and a blue tooth speaker. The dining room with attached breakfast bar seats up to 12 total, and offers ocean views from all vantage points. Off the east entrance is our screened enclosure providing more than enough patio furniture for lounging and/or dining in the refreshing ocean breezes while taking in the panoramic view of beach and ocean below.

Located directly off the screened room is our patio/deck and barbecue area. This is my favorite spot at the end of a day. Relax right above the sand dunes by easing back into one of the comfortable chaise lounges, peer through the sea oats that dot the landscape and enjoy the miles and miles of white sandy beach! After dinner head down our private beach walkway, boat drink in hand, and enjoy a barefoot walk on the soft white sand. Truly restful vacations are so rare in our busy lives, you gotta grab them when you can! * THE REED BEACH HOUSE IS SPLIT LEVEL WITH STAIRS TO FRONT DOOR, BACK DOOR AND DOWN TO BEACH. Unfortunately, it is not recommended for those with impaired mobility.

Good family trip
Had a great time with the family. Not far from the parks if you want to do that. Ocean is literally out the back door. Great view. Beds were comfortable. 4th bedroom is separate entrance and private. Very close to lots of shops, restaurants and night life. Screened in porch is great option if you want a break from the sun and wind.

Paradise
The house is amazing, directly in the beach. Has been the most relaxing vacation and best beach house we have rented in Florida. Can’t tell you anything about the restaurants or shops because we never left the whole week. Two days we saw sea turtles swim by us in the water. One day we saw a manatee and dolphins out in the water. The best of all was toward the end of our stay, we were out in the water and a pod of four manatees swam right up to my husband and went on both sides of him. The kids were able to swim out and even touch them as they came back around. Truly amazing. We were also lucky enough to watch three launches on the beach at night from Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. The house has literally anything you could need and more, by far the best and most stocked rental we have ever stayed in. Can’t recommend it more! We will back!

A Beach Lover's Paradise (Ihad to steal the VRBO description)
Great location. Plenty of space for the 7 in our group. Lots of beach gear and games. Love the house; it had everything we needed and was exactly as described. When the afternoon storms would blow up we gathered on the scre ned in porch and played card games.The Reeds are wonderful hosts and we appreciate being able tk enjoy their little piece of heaven!

Exceeded all expectations! I loved everything about this house, beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean and comfortable. The ocean view is breathtaking and so close! Just a few steps down to the beach, and the sunrise over the ocean was incredible! The owner Denise was wonderful, and her attention to detail was obvious all throughout the house. Fresh flowers in the house were beautiful. Felt like home from the first day, can’t wait to go back!

Three couples & motorcycles.
We were three couples over the age of 50. Denise was spot on with her description of the property. It was during Bike Week and Denise was gracious enough to let us park our bikes in the garage. As we are not the partyers, the location from downtown Daytona was perfect. The backyard and beach access made for great days to relax.

Wilbur-Gem-by-the-Sea
Our host, Denise, was open and honest about local conditions in the aftermath & cleanup of hurricane Ian and Nicole in Sept. & Nov '22. She put our worries to rest with pictures of her property and recovery efforts. It wasn't until we walked the beach that we were awestruck by the power of nature. We are truly impressed with her investment in constructing and maintaining her (higher than average?) sturdy seawall. Walking in 2-miles in either direction, hers is one of less than a half-dozen properties that still have a functioning access to the ocean beach. Check in process was simple and easy. We were greeted with a bowl of chocolates and fresh flowers. The view of the ocean from the screen porch and upper patio and deck about the sea wall is AMAZING! The kitchen is fully stocked with all the equipment, spices and oils one could ask for. The grill was in great condition, in an accessible location with extra propane on standby. Recreational equipment (bikes, boogie boards, corn hole games), full size laundry (with supplies) was easily accessible in the basement / garage walk-out. Denise provided a thoughtful suggestion to take a walk along the beach north of her VRBO where an 80-foot long skeleton of a shipwreck from the 1800's was unearthed in the beach during post-Nicole wave action in early December. Unfortunately by the time we arrived 3-weeks later, the sea and sand had reclaimed the shipwreck, once again burying it from view. Denise's property is an amazing getaway. We hope to be able to return again (although if we write too positive of a review, it may be too booked for us to return....so disregard everything we said about her property :) )!! Thank you Denise for a truly memorable and fully relaxing vacation!

Perfect beach front cottage
Very clean supplied with all we needed for a wonderful time husband and I in 60s, daughter soninlaw and son,. 2 and 3 yr old. Denise very accommodating. Note: upper bedroom with bath is open to den with only shutters for separation. We would have preferred a piece of glass. All said.. only wish we had discovered years ago. We do plan a return visit. The beach is very private . Plenty of parking. All the comforts and conveniences of home.

Excellent location!
This is the perfect beach house for 6 to 8 people. 4 nice bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen, and covered patio that leads straight to the beach, which is just steps from the back patio. Our family loved this section of Daytona Beach. It was not super busy, the waves were perfect for playing in (boogie boards, etc), and you are within walking distance of two restaurants. Awesome property!

Our family of 4 enjoyed an amazing winter break with our friends, also a family of 4. Ages ranged from 3+ and everyone had a great time! There was plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable, and the location could not have been more perfect. The bikes were a welcome surprise. We loved biking on the beach.

A Perfect Stay
Our recent stay here was absolutely perfect. The house was clean and just as described in the listing. There were fresh flowers waiting for us upon arrival, which I considered a very nice touch. Denise made every effort to ensure our stay was the best it could be. She was quick to answer any questions before and after our arrival. The patio outside was the perfect place to watch the sunrise and wind down in the evenings listening to the ocean. The view is absolutely beautiful. If you are looking for a home away from home to enjoy your stay in Daytona, this is definitely a perfect place to stay. I look forward to staying here again.

God willing I’ll be back!
It was an amazing place! From the moment we walked in to the sad moment we had to leave it was amazing. What really brought us together was the back screened in porch. If we weren’t at the beach we were on the porch. Late night no bugs, afternoon rain shower that’s where we ate and laughed and made life long memories. God willing I’ll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Reed

Host profile image
My husband Monty and I live in Gainesville, Fl with our two teenage daughters. Monty is in the mining industry and I am a nurse. We purchased this beach house while living abroad so that we would have a place to call home during our frequent trips back to the U.S to visit friends and family. Since moving back to the U.S in 2010, we've been lucky enough to be able to escape to our Wilbur by the Sea home and recharge our batteries as often as possible. It is our hope that we will someday retire there, but for now, we enjoy being able to share our little slice of paradise with others and help them to make unforgettable memories.

Why they chose this property

It's old Florida! The way it used to be back before all the resort hotels, sky scraping condos, beach traffic and rowdy crowds. Our home has a quaint cottage feel. Our stretch of beach is quiet, safe and peaceful. So few things in life remain so simple. There's little doubt you're ON the beach the moment you enter the front door-our NO STRESS zone!!.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, Privacy, Privacy! No cars, no crowds, no hotels, no condos!! Fantastic views! We now have a sunrise coffee and evening cocktail deck (with seating) down over the dunes and just above our sea wall! I don't believe there's a section of public beach anywhere that offers more privacy than our little beach town!
