Nice place to stay
Place is great to stay. The bedroom that has the sofa bed is really an office. There wasnt a closet or dresser to put away clothes in. Both front bedrooms also didnt have mirrors, so was difficult getting ready when only sharing the one bath. Otherwise, a great place to stay!

trouble
due to delayed flight i arrived late evening. i had trouble with the lock box and could not get hold of anybody. I had to stay at a hotel the first night. After that my communication with the contact was good. the contact was apologetic and said they had talked to VRBO about refunding me the first day. I'm still waiting to hear from VRBO about this.

This house is wonderful. It’s clean, has all amenities! The owner works with you on check in and out times. Have no negatives about this experience. Felt safe in the location. Super close to to downtown Deland. Across the street from the university. Quiet neighborhood. Rent here you will not be disappointed!

Charming
This is a charming home easily navigated. Quiet neighborhood except for rush hour traffic early morning and late afternoon but that is car noise. Given the expectations for cleaning the home, including starting a load of wash on exiting, they might refund the cleaning fee or offer refunding it as an incentive for the renter to step up and do the cleaning expected (on my entrance into the home the dishwasher was full of dishes—cleaned but not put away). Having said that, I gave this experience 5 stars.
