About this property

Looking to Just Get Away??? Cute Cottage with Pool. Close to the Beach!

Welcome to Florida! !Everyone who has stayed at my cottage have told me “It is So close to everything!' The beach, the Halifax River, restaurants, shopping, movie theater, etc. The next thing people have said is how private, peaceful and cute. My offering has a covered front porch with two rockers and a little table for your morning coffee or tea. As you enter the front door, you will see the living room and then a small step down leads to both the kitchen and bedroom. and bathroom. Please note: It is a divided home (separate private entrance for owner and guest)
@Owner is readily available for any questions or needs you may have. The pool area has a covered patio for outside meals, and an in ground pool (with a love seat built into the deeper end). Access to private, screened pool. The bedroom has a queen bed. Bathroom with tub/shower combo.

PLEASE read house rules re pets and smoking.

*****Also I make the washer and dryer available for my guests in case they run out of clean clothes. One family arrived and began washing 6 loads. This is not intended as a substitute for a laundry mat but only to help you if running out of clean clothes at the end of your stay. Thank you for your understanding

Activities and Attractions: Daytona International Speedway (Coke Zero , Daytona 500, Turkey Rod Run); Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, Orlando (all theme parks, Fun Spot Amusement Park (2 in Orlando); St. Augustine (outlets, old city)
Kennedy Space Center, Tampa (Hard Rock Casino, Tampa Zoo, Busch Gardens, Sunken Gardens ), Jacksonville (Zoo, Jacksonville Landing), Victory Casino Cruise (can get great Groupons to save $$) local: jet ski rental, miniature golf, go karts, and of course the beach ) God's gift to us

PS. Bikers/Turkey Rod Run. Safe place for bikes/vehicles SAFE Location

FYI. If you book my cottage at Christmas you will find it decorated to spend your Holidays in Florida—- 3 miles to the beach. Christmas tree, ornaments and more! You may even find a gift under the tree on Christmas morning!

We have a 21 ft SeaRay and if you want to go out on the St Johns River or Halifax River (maybe even take a short ride into the ocean out of Ponce Inlet), let us know. $275/4 hrs and if you are having a great time any additional time is on Danny It makes for a great vacation memory !

How great was our Stay

I hesitate to brag about this place only because if the word gets out, we may not be able to book our next stay. We are going back. The accommodations were above and beyond our expectations. Decorated with very good taste, so very comfy. And our host was so very kind and helpful.

Peaceful Paradise

Found this nice cottage on vrbo. We stayed for 3 days and enjoyed ourselves. Check-in was really smooth and our host Miriam was very sweet and attentive. She always responds in a timely manner. The airbnb is such a cute and laid back vibe. My favorite part was definitely the pool area it was screened in, clean and decorated nicely. All in all we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be going back. If you are looking for a 2 person getaway in the middle of Port Orange this is the perfect place

Wonderful stay in a lovley house

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is lovley - warming, welcoming and decorated with such beautiful details. I wanted to take some of them home. :-) The Garden/pool area was very enjoyable too and gave us a feeling of being home too. Thank you very much Miriam for having us you are a wonderful host. :-)

Quick stay before resort reservations

Miriam was very nice, and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Our visit was interrupted by a lizard, so that was a bit uncomfortable and worrisome. We booked the cottage to give us a couple of extra days before our resort reservations began. This was my first experience with a VRBO in Florida and near the beach.

Convenient location in a quiet neighborhood

It was a quiet area close to restaurants grocery stores. Not a bad drive to the beaches. Very clean. The unit is shared with the owners but that was not a problem. There is good separation between the two units. Very nice pool area with good sitting area, The private pool was a plus.

Great host and beautiful home

We highly recommend this cozy cottage. We traveled to Port Orange to visit a sick relative. Miriam provided us with a great place to stay during this stressful time. Her home is comfortable, very clean, and has everything you would need and more. Miriam his a great host. She even took care of our dog while we went to our relative's medical appointment. We hope to stay with Miriam again whenever we return to Port Orange.

Book it..!!!

“Just Gotta Get-a-Way” was amazing. The property is beautiful in addition Ms. Miriam and Mr. Danny were very welcoming and warm. The cottage is so cute, clean and comfortable. The tv options were nice to have and gave many options for free movies, series and news. The internet access is great. We love the area with lots of food and shopping very close by. We also were given some great locations for thrifting which we did enjoy very much.!! We will stay here again. Thanks Miriam and Danny

Just Get Away

We were told for the check in process to park next to the boat. It was very convenient to the door and unloading. Then the next day we were asked to move so her “boyfriend could park his car there. She also joked with us about getting in the pool with her clothes on. Not funny and not private the house and rental property share everything and they controlled the temperature. Not ideal. She did offer to adjust the temperature for us and left a bottle of wine for our anniversary.

A very nice, comfortable place. Close to everything if you want to get out and about. Or if you want to stay out it's great too. I highly recommend hiring out the boat excursion with Danny. We have been going to Daytona for years but to see it by boat was something else. We will be back and soon!

My wife and I stayed for the weekend for a quick anniversary trip. Miriam made the process smooth and accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time there! Communication was as an all time high with Miriam and we couldn’t have enjoyed our time there anymore!

Cute and cozy with everything you need

A friend and I visited for two nights for a relaxing getaway. We didn't leave the property because it was so relaxing and had everything we needed. (This was by choice, nothing to do with the surroundings.) We really enjoyed the pool and outdoor chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed. The property owners were readily available and helpful. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Miriam Carney

Host profile image
Greetings! I have lived in the Port Orange area since moving from the Garden State (New Jersey) in 1989. I have never looked back (well maybe a few times :)) Seriously, I love "my" beach, the tropical flowers, blue skies and temporate climate (most of the year). I have worked as an RN in Home Health. I have four grown daughters and seven grandchildren. I used to rent thru Home Away seven years ago when I rented Just Gotta Get Away when it was a full home. My family came to live in the area so I suspended my vacation rental. We made a "mother in law apt, ie cottage"and begin renting the cottage. As a nurse, I have cared about and for people and I try to do the same with my rental. In the past, I always had great reviews of vacationer's stays (can provide if requested--kept the guest book and probably can still find in the archives on Home Away) The cottage is perfect for a couple or a few friends who are just trying to
"get away"

Why they chose this property

Until about 2011 I had rented my home which consisted of 3 bedrooms 2 baths living room, family room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. My family needed housing with their four children Somewhat temporary turned into 7 years, with a home conversion to include my cottage offering —initially designed as a mother in law apt but more like a cute cottage You can choose beachside but if you choose Just Gotta Get Away you will be 3 miles to the beach, cross over the Dunlawton Bridge to get to the beach and see such a beautiful view--I have never lost the WOW feeling as I get to the top of the bridge. My cottage is private, walking distance to the grocery stores, Dunkin, restaurants as well as by bike (which I supply 2). A short drive will take you to the Port Orange Pavillion for the movies, shops, other restaurants (fav Culvers, San Diego Grill) You can relax by my pool without dozens of people joining you. You can hear the sounds of the pond and enjoy the beautiful flowers. When you leave to go home, I think you will be glad you made the decision to just get away at my cottage offering.

What makes this property unique

Location: 3 miles to the beach
