About this property
Top floor of Victorian, 2/2, near Stetson, sky diving, springs, river, beaches
The Marigold’s Penthouse is a beautifully furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bath penthouse apartment. With dark hardwood floors, high ceilings, built in book cases and a rich burgundy painted master bedroom, this place is elegant. Both bedrooms are roomy with queen sized beds. The brand new kitchen allows for easy meal prep for those who prefer to eat in but don’t neglect the several wonderful restaurants within walking distance! This is a second story apartment accessed by either the interior staircase or the wrought iron spiral staircase to the private side deck off of the kitchen. This spacious deck overlooks the garden and is a wonderful place to relax while enjoying your morning cup of coffee or that nice glass of wine before dinner. At dusk the three globe lantern lights come on and you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Easy parking is located right next to the apartment. Located just a short walk from the center of Deland, a stay in this centrally located property gives you easy access to everything Deland and Central Florida have to offer. Of course, cable and WIFI are provided in case you are here to relax. Owners Bill and Erin are close by so let them know if you need anything special for your stay.
Deland has been awarded the “Best Small Town in Florida” many times and holds regular festivals including the Mardi Gras Mainstreet Dog Parade, The Christmas Boat Parade, Juried Art festivals, and several holiday parades like Veterans day and homecoming. MainStreet DeLand Association - Deland, FL link can show you the upcoming calendar of events.
New Smyrna Beach is a quick 35 minute drive and world famous Daytona Beach with its awesome Daytona International Speedway - NASCAR racing is also 35 minutes away. Both beaches allow driving and parking on the beach. We provide beach supplies for your stay so no need to bring or buy a cooler, beach chairs or towels. Both places hold Bike Weeks in October and March each year. Deland hosts coinciding Bike Weekends.
Deland is home to Stetson University and the Stetson Mansion wired for electricity by Thomas Edison himself, as well as multiple art museums and theaters.
De Leon Springs State Park is nearby with The Old Spanish Sugar Mill , famous for its pancakes made right at your table- a must for breakfast lovers. You can pack a picnic lunch and relax all day under the huge shade trees, enjoy canoeing on the river or a swim in the natural spring at this beautiful state park. The St John’s river runs through Deland and offers many types of activities at the nearby marina which also has a rustic seafood restaurant right on the water, and fishing near the Whitehair bridge on Hwy 44. The St Johns River also has lots of wildlife including alligators. The manatees winter at beautiful Blue Springs just 15 minutes away. If you do bring your boat, pay attention to the no wake and manatee zones to help protect the large "sea cows". The town just South of us, Sanford, has a Riverboat Cruise that is a great way of touring the river.
And of course, Orlando’s world class attractions are just an hour away, including Disney World, Epcot, Sea World, famous International Drive and Universal Studios with its newest Harry Potter themed attractions. Day trips might include U.S. Air Force Space & Missile Museum in Cape Canaveral, the world class Outlet shopping area in Saint Augustine- the oldest settlement in America, or a trip to Busch Gardens in Tampa. Gainesville, home to the University of Florida is two hours north and Florida’s gulf coast to the West is about 3 hours. Tarpon Springs on the Gulf coast is another easy day trip. Awesome off shore fishing is offered at several nearby marinas, weather permitting. These include Reel Deal Offshore Fishing in Ponce Inlet. Inside the Marigold Penthouse you'll find a guest binder which also lists the areas art museums, theaters and historic sites as well as recommendations from guests before you. Remember, you are visiting sunny Florida so take advantage of our wonderful weather to see everything this beautiful place offers.
The Daytona airport is only 25 minutes away as is the Sanford International Airport served by many European travelers. The Orlando International airport is approximately 1 hour away.
There is plenty to do and see in Central Florida and The Marigold Penthouse will make sure you’re stay is comfortable. Book your stay today!

About Bill Watford
I am a native Floridian. There are a lot of nice cities in Florida and my two favorite small towns are Deland on the east side of the state and Cedar Key due west on the Gulf of Mexico.
I started buying houses to rent as an investment while I had a full time day job, my first in 1985 and I still own it - the Cedar House of Deland. My full time job today is managing the vacation rentals and short stay properties that I own.
I have several in Deland: The Units of the Deland Marigold, Grandma's Place, and The Cedar House. I also have two in Cedar Key: The TreeHouse and Goose Cove Cottage.
I enjoy what I do and am passionate about seeing that my guests have a great experience while staying in one of my properties.
