About this property
Beautiful Remodeled Pool Home in the Heart of Downtown Delray Beach!
Ruth’s Cottage is located in the heart of historic downtown. This is where South Florida charm and tradition blends with the comforts of modern luxury. All of Delray is within your reach, but, you’ll find it’s difficult to leave the comforts of this home for long. This is the finest neighborhood in classic Delray Beach. Rich in both history and amenities, Ruth’s is the ultimate Delray experience.
Ruth’s is family-friendly. You’ll have access to games, pool toys, play pens and highchairs if needed. The washer and dryer in the laundry room are brand new – but the basketball hoop in the pool has seen many, many championship battles!
The uncommon pleasure of this secluded paradise is located in the middle of the simple chic that is Delray Beach. Buttoned down luxury is extended throughout an expansive floor plan. Our remodeled kitchen, family room and patio provide an opportunity to gather and enjoy this paradise together. And, the three bedrooms, living room and dining area provide seclusion and privacy as needed for quiet times during your stay. The jewel of the property is a heated, 20’x 30’ walk-in pool surrounded by a tropical garden.
This house is located North of Atlantic Avenue and East of Lake Ida with easy access to highways, attractions and downtown Delray Beach, a popular, award-winning beach town.
The main street in Delray Beach is Atlantic Avenue, and it spans all the way down to a pristine beach. The ‘Ave’ is popular for visitors and locals thanks to the many art galleries, upscale shops, fine restaurants and nightly entertainment. Seasonal events for the downtown area feature Delray Beach Fashion Week, Savor the Avenue, the Delray Affair and the annual 100-foot Christmas tree.
Delray Beach is located between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale Florida, and it’s the ideal destination for a vacation with your friends and family any time of year. It’s a pristine haven and one of the most popular beaches in Palm Beach County, Florida. Delray Beach is an intimate town filled with art galleries, upscale shops, fine restaurants and nightly entertainment.
It was named the Most Fun Small Town in the U.S.A. by Rand McNally, USA Today and the Travel Channel. Delray Beach offers the kind of culture and sophistication you wouldn’t expect to find in a funky, walkable beach town.

Steven and his wife were excellent hosts and dealt with any question immediately, beautifully clean property with superb furniture and everything you needed , absolutely wonderful place
The house was perfect. Well equipped and wonderfully decorated. Quiet residential neighborhood but also close to beach, restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend.
Lovely house in a lovely location. Very clean and well equipped. Biggest pool I’ve ever seen in a vacation house. Would thoroughly recommend and stay again
Steve's home was amazing! The layout was perfect, the kitchen stocked, and it was very CLEAN! We love the Lake Ida are of Delray as it is quiet, walkable, yet accessible to downtown. The backyard was so serene and the perfect size, and we hope to stay again!
House, Yard, and Pool are perfect for family getaway--lot's of space and everything was in pristine condition.
We had an awesome time and look forward to coming back next time in the area.
The location was literally 5 min to anything we did but we stayed in the backyard and in the pool most of our 2 weeks in Delray Beach. It was like a tropical oasis. The amenities were top notch, the place was spotless and adorably decorated. We wish we could have stayed longer!
What a wonderful place to stay! Clean and welcoming home, gorgeous backyard and pool, perfect location! We had such a good time and Colin was a very responsive and accommodating host!
the house was fantastic both inside and out. It is fully stocked and the back yard( pool etc) was an absolute oasis. beautiful neighborhood and close to the beach and great downtown. will definitely be back next year. judy
Spectacular house that’s cozy with a stunning pool backyard and lush landscaping. I would stay here over and over again. It’s remodeled to a tee with all the amenities you could hope for. Everything about this property is 10 out of 10. Steve was great to work with in booking the house. Cheers.
The home is exactly as pictured - if not more beautiful, and the communication with Colin is easy and prompt. We had a few issues that were quickly tended to and solutions were offered immediately. We would definitely vacation here again, it was such a relaxing stay!
Close to beach and the dining and shopping on Atlantic Ave--loved taking the golf cart out to dinner! House is beautiful and situated in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. Heated pool and patio was absolutely priceless for our family when we just wanted to relax at the house. My children are already begging to go back!
Steve the owner has done an incredible job making this house absolutely perfect. Everything you need is there and carefully labeled so you know how everything works. House itself is so adorable and the backyard pool and gardens are amazing. An oasis in Delray. We will definitely be coming back !! Thank you Steve !!!
The only downside was the hot, humid weather. The house is stunning along with the saltwater pool. We spent the majority of our time in the backyard grilling and swimming. I would highly recommend this house and the host.
Delray hidden gem. The house was perfect for my family and I. Close to downtown with a golf cart to get around town. Colin was a great host and would recommend anyone coming to the Delray area to check this place out. Inside you will find updated furniture and appliances with a beach theme. The Walk in pool was fantastic with great outdoor seating.
The Cottage was actually better in person than on line. The house is completely stocked and set up for your every need. From new bed linens/ towels/ beach gear/ bikes. I can’t think of one thing that I would suggest to make this listing better. The backyard/ pool setting is a true oasis that we are already missing. We spent two delightful weeks here! Highly recommend this spot!
We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend, even with a hurricane! The house was exactly what I needed for a perfect bridal shower for my daughter. Thank you Colin for giving me that opportunity. Everyone loved your home! The golf cart was a blast!!

Lovely backyard and pool
Great location, outdoors is outstanding, quiet neighborhood . Walking distance to downtown Delray- about one and a half miles . Closer by are bakeries, CVS, banks...
Bedrooms are nice, bathrooms are nice too, plenty of room to park cars. All kitchen appliances, washer, dryer, and TV were great. Loved the bikes provided , and used many provided beach towels along with the beach chairs and umbrella - all provided.
My husband and I had a fabulous month at Ruth’s Cottage. We can’t say enough about the house and its owners. Steve and Reesa have provided a house with all you could possibly need — an abundance of quality towels, nice furnishings and a beautiful backyard and pool — besides many other amenities. We didn’t need to ask for anything because they already thought of everything! Thank you Steve and Reesa — we hope to be back again next year.

Beautiful home. Looks like it was recently renovated. Very clean and well maintained.
We could not have been happier with this rental. The house is great. It has everything that you need for your stay. The pool was a little cold because it was December, but the kids didn’t care. There was plenty of places to sit and relax, pool toys and lots of fresh towels.
The house is in a very charming, quiet, safe area. Not far from the fun of Atlantic Ave and the beach.
We were really impressed with the owner, Colin. We had some questions that we emailed him about and he responded immediately with the answers. Excellent service!
We even asked him if there was any chance that he had some Christmas decorations since we were there for the holiday. He said he had a few things he could leave and when we got there, he had a lighted tree set up and several decorations for the kids to put up. They were thrilled and it really made our stay special.
We hope to stay here again next time we’re in South Florida.
