The views from this property were beautiful and the unit was clean and set up pretty well for the limited space available. The location was easy to access the pool, beach, shops, etc. - just don't expect a peaceful quiet stay, because there's nowhere to fully escape the noise. Even with cold weather, the outdoor pool lounge chairs were all full right away and beach gets crowded as soon as the sun comes out. Some people may love that scene - not us. The outdoor pools would be a lot of fun for kids or a younger crowd if it was warm weather, but when it was cold, it was disappointing as the hot tubs only allow those 16 and up to get in, and they were often overflowing with college aged kids, and the indoor pools weren't warm enough.
The beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. The couch pull out bed was missing several springs so if you sat on the end, you'd fall through. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, but only had 1 bowl, 2 coffee cups, a few various plates and a sparse collection of silverware. The toilet would often take several flushes to work. That was disappointing for the price we paid, and having been to many VRBO's in the past, it's the little touches that make a big difference. Beware of the dryer. It caught and ruined my hoodie.
Overall, it was a much nicer Daytona stay for our family of 4 (2 parents, 2 teens) than you'd find elsewhere along the strip, but next time we'll opt out of the resort scene and look for something more quiet and peaceful.
