Best Host!!

Such a wonderful stay, Renee was very accommodating and we loved all the personal touches. She is very easy to reach and goes above and beyond. The house is wonderful! Very clean, looks just like the pictures. Great bed, wonderful AC and hot showers! The neighbors are super friendly and we loved walking our fur babies around the neighborhood. We couldn’t ask for more. Even our fur babies loved it! Close to everything you need. Again thank you Renee for being such a wonderful host, we can’t wait to return!!

We really enjoyed our weekend stay. The cottage is adorable with just the right amount of space. Renee is a wonderful host - she left a lovely basket of snacks and waters. The cottage has all the amenities you can think of. Short distance from the main road and access to stores and restaurants. It was perfect for our short trip to DeLand.

Perfect Vacay

The Blue Moon Cottage is the perfect vacation getaway. It is located in a super quiet neighborhood but is only a short distance to dining and shopping. We were at Daytona Beach is less than 30 minutes and could escape the hustle and bustle just as quickly.
