The host was very responsive and helpful during our stay! There are many extras provided (snacks, bottled water, condiments, coffee, cooking spices...). Plenty of towels are also provided. The queen mattress was not great, but not a deal-breaker. A positive about the neighborhood is that it is close to downtown with cute shops and dining. The negative about the neighborhood is that it is a bit run-down, with some homes seeming a bit abandoned or unkempt. This property, however, is well taken care of.

We enjoyed our stay at Blue Moon Cottage, the house has been renovated and has good curb appeal. Renee was very communicative and provided many amenities to give the cottage a comfortable environment. The house is within walking distance of downtown, which provides restaurants and several options for ice cream! Also, walking distance to Stetson University campus.

This is a charming cottage in a quiet part of DeLand, close to Stetson and a 15 minute walk to the “downtown” part of DeLand with restaurants and shops. We enjoyed our short stay.
