About this property

Blue Spring getaway w/ private fire pit & grill

Summary:

Welcome to this charming renovated home in Orange City, FL - just 3 mins from Blue Spring State Park & steps from natural Florida adventure!



- Sleeps 5 | 2 bedrooms | 2 beds | 1 bath

- Private backyard w/ fire pit, BBQ grill & string lights

- Beach essentials provided - towels, umbrella & snorkeling gear

- Fully equipped kitchen w/ stainless steel stove, coffee maker & more

- In-unit washer & dryer

- Self check-in, free parking & unique memory wall experience



The Space:

A short drive from one of Florida's most beloved natural springs, this renovated two-bedroom home offers the kind of unhurried escape that's easy to settle into. Whether you're spending your days exploring Blue Spring State Park or simply unwinding in the backyard, the space is set up to help you slow down and enjoy every moment.

 

Living space

Step inside to a cozy, thoughtfully furnished living room anchored by a black tufted sofa and a striking green accent wall. The space is bright and welcoming - a comfortable place to gather in the evenings before heading out to the backyard, or to catch something on TV after a full day outdoors.

 

Sleeping arrangements

The home sleeps up to 5 guests across 2 bedrooms with 2 beds. Bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets are provided, so you can arrive light and get straight to relaxing.

 

Kitchen & dining

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook meals from scratch - a stainless steel electric stove, oven, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, hot water kettle, and a solid set of cooking basics including pots, pans, oil, salt, and pepper. Dishes and silverware are included, so settling in feels effortless from day one.

 

Outdoor oasis

The real centerpiece of this home is the expansive backyard. As the sun dips, gather around your private fire pit under a canopy of string lights - cold drink in hand, dinner on the BBQ grill, and nothing on the agenda. The backyard is open and unfenced, giving it a spacious, airy feel that's hard to find in a rental this close to the park.

 

A unique touch

This home comes with an instant film camera to help you capture the moment. Add your photo to the memory wall and leave a little piece of your trip behind - a detail that makes this stay genuinely different from any other.

 

Bathroom & laundry

The bathroom includes a bathtub, hair dryer, shampoo, and hot water. In-unit washer and dryer are available at no extra charge, making it easy to pack light or extend your stay without stress.

 

Location

Set in Orange City, Florida, the home sits just 3 minutes from Blue Spring State Park - one of the best spots in the state for manatee sightings, swimming, and kayaking.

Memories home

This house was perfect for our one-night stay in Deland. It was clean, close to Stetson, and had the amenities we needed. It was convenient and the communication with the owner was very good.

Great place to stay in Deland

This property was perfect for our 10-day stay in the area to visit my mom who lives locally. The property is freshly and tastefully decorated and well-equipped. It has an open plan kitchen/diner and living room and feels nice and spacious. We only used one of the bedrooms but the bed was super-comfortable. Highly recommend for a short or long stay in Deland and we will certainly look to stay again in future.

The home was clean and welcoming. Very easy check in. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was the shortage of toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and bath soap dispensers in the shower were empty). No dish drain and only one dish towel provided in the kitchen.

Great stay!

Great communication with the owner. Very clean and cute house! Issues with the wood furniture outside, but we were able to find other lawn chairs to sit in and the owner was understanding when I let him know. Great stay and would recommend!

Once we found this incredible spring to discover and looked around, we could not look any further because this house was exactly what we needed for our trip and relaxing stay! If you want to spend the day at Blue Springs State Park, this is the closest house with everthing we needed. The living room is spacious, kitchen practical, bedrooms cozy and awesome backyard with fire pit to end the day!We will definitely return with our friends and family to enjoy this State Park while knowing our safety and comfort resides with this house during our trip! Thank you again for your hospitality!Florian

Great place to stay

My son and I needed a place to stay for a baseball tourney. This place was very nice and clean. Easy check in and out. Beds were very comfortable, Had a fire pit that we did not use because all of our games were at night. But it looked very nice. About a 35 minute drive to the beach. If we are back in the area we will definitely stay here again.

We stayed with Alberto for 2 weeks. He was great and made the process so easy. His rental was so clean and looked just as good as the photos. I would recommend this to anyone. We had such an amazing time. Thank you Alberto and I will book with you again

Super close to blue springs state park

It’s just a few mins drive to the blue springs state park. Had some problem with their Nest AC but was able to resolve it with Alberto. I would bring some extra toiletries if staying for more than a day. The kitchen had most of what we needed. Neighborhood felt safe.

Blue Springs Manatees

We stayed for two nights. The two bedroom one bath was adequate. If we had another couple or children, the bathroom would have been a bit too small. Any concerns or problems were handled promptly with humility to our satisfaction. Great place to come back to after spending time with the manatees.

Nice trip

The property was nice. It’s close to grocery stores and restaurants. The neighborhood is relatively quiet. My only complaint is the lack of supplies. We had to buy things like trash bags, paper products and dish towels. The house itself was nice and roomy. Great water pressure in the shower and a garage.
