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!

Great stay, Beautiful place
This was a great place to stay. The top floor is very beautiful, and large. Lovely two bedrooms and it was great to have 2 baths. There was nothing lacking. It was nice to have a deck right off the kitchen with patio table & chairs. The location was convenient as we had business in Orange City, so very close to that. Very nice neighborhood. We walked the area. Very close to downtown DeLand.

Every piece of furniture needs to be replaced. At night the only way in is by metal spiral stairs.
The next morning as the house cleaner was knocking, we were packing up to leave. I fell walking down the handicap ramp (with no handrails) there was no first aid kit, the cleaner called the owner, other owners called him. I never even heard a "are you ok?" call from the owner. It's not "Victorian" its old!!!

Close to downtown DeLand
This rental had everything we needed for our short week stay! Loved having 2 bedrooms and 2 bath and full kitchen with dishes and other conveniences including paper products, soaps and shampoos and small cooler. Location close to downtown, we walked several times. Only complaint is noise level of traffic on New York Avenue so close to master bedroom kept light sleeper awake.

Not exactly as planned
We got to the property after a long flight and rent-a-car woes. I followed the directions of how to get to the unit and opened the door to a room full of people. We were all shocked. The owner was on site and gave us other accommodations that were more roomier and easier to access. The rooms were clean and the kitchen had anything we needed for cooking. the only things were the couches in the main unit had a odor that was like maybe someone had been smoking. A little Fabric Febreze cured that. The other was we were told we could use the laundry room in the basement. It was very scary down there and needs attention. We used the common laundry which was fine. Overall it was a nice stay, thank you.

Verified traveller

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The unit was locate in walking distance from downtown. However, both sets of stairs were challenging to get up and down with bags. Some of the doors stuck. Full kitchen, but only 3 spoons and very little soap to do dishes with. Coffee maker, but no coffee. Outside deck, table and chairs were very dirty and I had to sweep and clean off before using. Master bedroom is close to the street and you hear cars all night long. The TVs are very confusing with too many direction(one set of directions were wrong). Place could be really nice, just needs an update. This really is more of a 3-star property, not luxurious at all.

Within walking distance of Stetson and downtown. Perfect location. Clean, cute, and very friendly and helpful property manager. Plenty of towels and linens. Thanks for supplying the soap and shampoo. Things we often forget. Well stocked kitchen and safe parking. Hope to stay again during future visits to DeLand!

looking forward to come back
A true home away from home...we were perfectly taken care of. In a beautiful, cosy apartment we had a perfect stay and felt greatly welcomed and totally safe. Also a great place to hang out on a lazy day. Size is perfect for two individuals, and still quite fine for three. Nice neighborhood with a stunning vegetation and gardens, to go for walk or for a morning run. Downtown Deland and restaurants in walking distance. Everyting you need is available in the apartment, from cooler and beach chairs to toaster, microwave and Wifi and and..., easy! if we would come back? for sure! Thanks to Bill for having us and Special thanks to Scott for his help and care. Christa and Katja

Enjoyable and Comfortable Stay
We enjoyed staying at the Marigold Penthouse. Our rental was on the 2nd floor of an old house that was well maintained and had unique character. It had plenty of room and we appreciated the fact that it was located so close to Stetson College and downtown DeLand. We were surprised to find a gift basket when we arrived with crackers, tea and red wine! That was such a nice touch. The owner responds quickly to messages and makes it clear that he is readily available. The gentlemen in charge of maintenance is the owner's brother. He was very friendly and made sure the outside porch light was on since we arrived at night. We recommend this rental!

Will definately stay again!
We stayed at the Marigold Penthouse during family weekend at Stetson and would definitely return anytime we visit Stetson. The location could not be better, walking distance to restaurants and shops and minutes from the university. Scott, Bill and Erin run a very nice, well maintained property. They were very welcoming and accommodating. Much better than a hotel stay.

I’d give a 4.5 if possible
The Marigold is a charming 1900 house that Bill has converted into 3 units. He & Scott were very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We stayed in the penthouse upstairs. The kitchen was well equipped even though we ate out most of the time. Everything in the unit was well updated except the second bathroom which could use some updating. Without a doubt, the Marigold was much better than staying in a hotel. We hope to return!
