About this property

300 yds from the famous A1A scenic hwy & ocean! King suite AND pooch friendly!

Welcome to Your Coastal Getaway, adventure and relaxation at your fingertips!

Nestled on the serene North Peninsula, our beach home offers the perfect mix of peace, beauty, and convenience. Located just 300 yards from the A1A Scenic Highway and 200 yards from the Halifax River, you’ll be surrounded by the natural splendor of Florida’s Atlantic coast.

Our beaches are truly unique, featuring rare coquina sand, a stunning blend of crushed shells and coral that shimmers underfoot — perfect for quiet morning strolls, beachcombing, or simply soaking in the sunrise. Nearby, lush coastal vegetation, gentle sea breezes, and incredible sunrises over the ocean create a setting that feels like your own private paradise.

Tomoka State Park is close by, offering kayaking, fishing, birdwatching, and miles of scenic nature trails.

The world-famous A1A Scenic Highway is just steps away, offering breathtaking ocean views and an easy drive to charming Flagler Beach (10 minutes north) or lively Daytona Beach (25 minutes south). Historic St. Augustine is also only about 45 minutes away!

Charming Local Flavor: Though our location feels like a hidden gem, you’ll still be close to quaint restaurants, cafes, and markets that capture the true “Old Florida” spirit. The area has recently welcomed fantastic new dining spots alongside long-loved local favorites. Whether you're craving barbecue, fresh seafood, sandwiches, ethnic fare, or upscale cuisine — you’ll find it here. (Hint: the local seafood is unforgettable!)

Your Beach House Retreat: This fun, fully-equipped three-bedroom, 2.5-bath beach house is ready to welcome you. We've stocked it with everything you need for a true seaside vacation:

Beach gear: chairs, umbrellas, towels, coolers, a beach wagon, boogie boards, a skim board, and two surfboards (including one beginner board).

Bikes and fishing gear for your outdoor adventures.

Smart TVs in multiple rooms (65" Samsung, 50" Roku, 42" Vizio) with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Britbox, Hulu, Disney+, ESPN, YouTube TV — or just log in to your own accounts.

The home’s design reflects a relaxed beachy spirit:

Master Suite (upstairs): King bed, smart TV, antique touches, a desk, gorgeous glass and wood closet doors, and a private ensuite bathroom with vibrant Mexican tile.

Main floor: Cozy living room, fully-stocked kitchen, a bedroom with twin beds, and a full bathroom.

Private Guest Suite (across the breezeway): A quiet queen bedroom and powder room — perfect for guests or teenagers needing their own space.

Inside/Outside Breezeway Shower: One of our favorite features!

The Heart of the Home: We love to cook and have designed the kitchen for foodies and casual cooks alike:

Appliances include a drip coffee maker, French press, Keurig, slow cooker, stock pot, air fryer, ice cream maker, hand-crank ice crusher, waffle maker, clam pot and small camp propane stove for the beach (not allowed in turtle nesting season-May 1-Oct. 31) and a wine fridge.

Two refrigerators (one inside, one in the garage) to keep drinks and supplies stocked for beach days.

Outdoor Living: Relax on the private patio featuring:

A gas grill (with two propane tanks)

A marble table

A custom cement table and benches with umbrella

An inviting screen-enclosed breezeway where you can often hear the distant sound of ocean waves on quiet evenings.

Please Note:

No smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed.

No wild parties or loud music — this is a peaceful neighborhood.

Booking Info: Upon booking, you’ll receive a rental agreement and, if needed, a pet addendum. (If you’d like to review them in advance, just let us know.)

Come experience the quiet magic of the North Peninsula, where the ocean calls, the river sunsets sparkle nearby, and a welcoming, thoughtfully designed beach home awaits you.

We can't wait to host you. And don't forget the sunscreen!

Wonderful home, host, location, amenities and experience

I would highly recommend this property to my family and friends. There is nothing the owners didn't think of to make your stay the best possible. This was our first time booking a stay like this and it couldn't have been an easier experience. Unfortunately we were not able to complete our stay and the owners were so considerate and understanding. They were amazing to work with and I cannot say enough good about them and the property. I would definitely stay here again.

Snowbird Home Away From Home

We have stayed here for 2 months the last few years and can't wait to go again next year. The location in a quiet neighborhood makes it feel like home and the availability of EVERYTHING we needed for cooking/baking, bicycleing, beaching,etc is wonderful. The extra guest bedroom/bathroom is a real plus for friends who stop by. The hosts are fantastic and a pleasure to interact with. See you next year!

We enjoyed our time at the beach house, and would stay again if we get the chance. The home is in a great neighborhood and close proximity to the beach. This is a nicely remodeled home, and would suggest it for couples or small families.

Warm and Wonderful

The unseasonably warm February gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sunshine on the patio or at the beach which was a very short walk away. The house was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The owners were so wonderfully attentive to any questions and made our stay the best time we've ever had in Florida!

Ormond by the sea

The house was very nicely set up and the most fully stocked place we’ve ever rented. This made our stay very convenient. The beds were all very comfortable, and the house was spacious. You never felt cramped. Our access to the beach was a key reason for picking the location. The only issue we had was spotty Internet at times however the host was extremely responsive and very communicative, which we were grateful for.

Felt Like Home

This house was immaculate and came stocked with virtually every appliance, gadget, and utensil known to man....along with being fully stocked with paper products and condiments. You could tell that it truly is someone's home, not just a "rental property". The owner was very responsive, polite and professional. We would highly recommend this house.

The Perfect Mid-Winter Escape

Ormond-by-the-Sea is a beautiful location with lots of walking paths for our dog. We were able to walk to the local cantina in the afternoons, to the beach and to the river.. The house was filled with supplies and was such a pleasant space. Our host decorated in a whimsical, colorful theme. We felt at home right from the start. Our neighbors were friendly, quiet and helpful. We're looking forward to a return visit!

We loved this beach house. It had everything we needed and was a short, convenient walk to the beach. The only complaint was the wi fi, which only worked about half the time. Other than that, everything was wonderful. We would definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Helene Miller

Host profile image
Hello travelers! We found our property on Capri Drive in 2001 when it was only a sandy road. There are cousins that live all around us and that is how we learned about it. We spent most of our lives together in Springfield, PA where Charlie was a sporting goods store owner supplying the surrounding public and private schools, swim teams, club sports, etc with sports uniforms, equipment, shoes and everything in between. He made a dramatic career change in 2009 and went back to his alma mater Villanova University to become an English and Social Studies teacher. We moved to our cottage by the sea for a while where he taught high school in Flagler County but we were missing our 4 children and 17 grandchildren back in the Philadelphia area. So back we came where Charlie is now teaching in an urban school. We live in the West Powelton section of the city and love the urban life.
I was a Jazzercise instructor for 25 glorious years until I went to a full time job while Charlie was back in school as well as being a full time mom, grandmom and caregiver for my own mother.
I work part time also in the Philadelphia School District as an assistant in the younger grade classrooms and love it.
We always miss our cottage by the sea when we are not there but are thrilled to share it with others and delight in hearing about your own experiences there if you like to share.

Why they chose this property

We simply love Ormond by the Sea and, in fact, our little subdivision of 3 streets (Capri, Avalon and Via Madrid) is actually called Avalon by the Sea. It is peaceful and lovely there, a simple beach life not sullied by loud bars and boardwalk noises. Our home is positioned 300 yards from the ocean and 200 yards from the river and, in the quiet evenings, you can hear the ocean crashing onto the shore as you sit and relax in the breezeway.
We named our home Somewhere Beyond the Sea because my mother just loved Bobby Darin and that was one of his signature songs. I just love having family within walking distance of us and, when we vacation there, we spend a lot of time together.

What makes this property unique

Our area is not crowded. It is an "Old Florida" feel-laid back, lots of open area with many areas designated as state lands and therefore cannot be built upon. We have a thriving community of activists who assist during the annual sea turtle migrations. The house is approximately 1.5 hours from Disney World and other Orlando attractions. Daytona Beach and the famous Speedway is a 15-20 minute drive, St. Augustine and New Smyrna Beach are both about 40 minutes drive (in opposite directions!). You can walk to the Lagerhead Restaurant at the top of the road for nightly music, happy hour, lunch, dinner and weekend breakfasts. The new Tanger shopping mall is opened in Daytona Beach right off of I-95.
We designed our home to truly be a beach house. You will get that feeling as soon as you walk in. The house inspires relaxation and fun! We simply love the breezeway and spend a lot of time there eating, relaxing, reading, etc. There is even a shower in the breezeway perfect for rinsing off after coming in from the beach. We call it the "inside-outside shower" :-)
