*****************************************
■ INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
We offer easy self-check-in for your convenience, but we’re always just a message away if you need anything during your stay. Whether you have questions, suggestions, or requests, we respond quickly and are happy to help.

We’re local owners and speak both English and Spanish, so feel free to reach out in whichever language you’re most comfortable with.

*******************************************
■ Things to Know Before Booking (Please Read)

Our property has been part of Daytona Beach history since the 1960s, originally operating as a beachfront motel before transitioning into a Condominium Association in 1999. Today, each unit is individually owned and managed, giving the building its unique charm and character.

We want you to have the best stay possible, so please review the following important details before booking:

■ Parking (Very Important)

● Each condo is issued ONE parking pass only.
● The towing company patrols hourly and will tow any vehicle without a pass displayed — including cars waiting for check-in or parked early.
Please do not arrive early and park without your pass.

● Extra vehicles must use paid public parking. There are multiple lots and garages within walking distance from the Daytona Inn.

● No trailer parking is allowed anywhere on the property.

■ Building Notes & Maintenance

● While uncommon, service or building emergencies may occur. We will notify guests immediately if anything impacts your stay.
● Electrical breakers may trip if too many high-powered appliances run at once. Just message us and we’ll reach out to management.
● The building has mandatory scheduled pest control. If it falls during your stay, we will inform you in advance.

■ AC / Heat System (Please Read)

The building uses a shared central HVAC system controlled by the Condominium Association.

● Each unit has its own thermostat to toggle the system ON/OFF.
● The system can run in cooling OR heating mode, not both.
● The Association determines which mode is active based on seasonal temperatures.

If you require a different temperature style (very cold, very warm, or full individual control), this setup may not meet your expectations.

■ Before Booking

If you have any questions or concerns about parking, the building itself, AC/heat, or anything else, please message us first.
We want to make sure our studio is the right fit for you.

If this setup will not work for you, please do not book to avoid disappointment.

■ Cancellation Policy

We strongly recommend purchasing “Cancel for Any Reason” travel insurance.
Our cancellation policy will be strictly enforced.

■ Service Animal Policy (ADA Compliant)

We do not charge extra for legitimate Service Animals.

Guests are responsible for any damage caused by their Service Animal or by uncontrolled behavior.

Guests bringing a Service Animal are required to answer the two ADA-permitted questions:

1. Is the Service Animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?

Service Animals must:
● Be harnessed, leashed, or tethered unless such devices interfere with their work
● Remain under full control of the handler at all times
● Never be left unattended in the unit

Fraudulent claims:
If a guest falsely identifies a pet as a Service Animal, we reserve the right to:
● Seek financial restitution for damages
● Report the fraudulent claim
● Evict guests immediately without refund.

*************LOCAL AREA**************

The daytona inn has transitioned from hotel to privately owned condos. All of the owners I encountered were extremely nice and helpful in pointing us toward activities/ eateries less touristy. The condo we rented was exactly as described.

Good rental, great location.

We stayed here for my daughters volleyball tournament. The studio was perfect for what we needed the pull out couch was great for the kids and being right on the beach was so nice. The building is under construction so isn’t super appealing but the studio makes up for that. Convenient and affordable.

A great stay

We knew up front that there is major renovation going on at this facility. Overall this did not negatively affect our stay at all. Our unit was neat and clean and outfitted with everything that we needed for our 4 night stay. Also, the bathroom has been obviously recently been redone. Access to the pool and beach area was very nice. We will definitely think about staying here again.

We came down for bike week and the unit was privately owned, very clean, well stocked small kitchenette was perfect with an ocean view and the location was perfect. The parking lot was partally blocked off for construction but no big deal. The owners were very responsive and I would stay again on a normal week! Great job on the TV stand!

This is such a cute little spot that is close to everything. East to get to, east to check in, comfortable and welcome respite at the end of the day. We were even able to catch some fireworks at the end of the day from the kitchen window. Comms with Lynette were east and she was very responsive. There has clearly been a lot of work and love put into this adorable studio and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

The Mermaid

Beautiful suite. The owners have put some work in to it. My kids and myself felt extremely comfortable there. Easy access to the pool and beach. Within walking distance of many of Daytona's attractions. Owners provide any basic necessity you can think of, towels, blankets, toiletries, plates, etc. Owners were upfront and honest about any potential inconveniences. Owners promptly reached out to me about the water going out temporarily because of renovations to other suites. My family enjoyed the stay and would recommend to others.

Very nice place to be!

This is definitely a good place to stay in Daytona and you can not do other than giving five stars! The apartment is nicely furnitured and decorated with much love for details, well it is very clean, towels and bedding smell fresh and you feel welcome. If you want to go to the beach you can decide going to the car side or to the side where cars are forbidden, both directly in front of the apartment complex. Also the Daytona International Speedway is only 10 minutes away. The host is very uncomplicated and quick in response. We would definitely go there again and highly recommend this lovely place!

Get away

Porperty was as listed in posting. Price was good. The inside is adorable, and clean. The hot water did not work in the shower, but did come through in the sinks. The outside is horrible due to construction and quality of neighborhood. Beach is a cessed only by next door property or public access 1 block away. No where to enjoy ocean view, sadly.

Great location

Super clean small studio. Enjoyed location on the beach. Towels were thin but did their job. I am super sensitive to any plastic on a mattress and was uncomfortable sleeping with the mattress encased in plastic. Tried putting an extra blanket under fitted sheet but that didn't help either. I took away one star for that reason. If it's bedbugs an owner is worried about a spray between stays would help. If it's stains a high end mattress pad should work. Would stay again but honestly I would go through the effort of removing the plastic. All and all though we did enjoy our visit here.

Much better than advertised

While the complex is under construction and the pool was unavailable, the beach is within a very short walking distance of the condo. At no point during my stay did I feel unsafe while walking the beach or in the shops. Joe's Crab Shack is right down the way, again, walking distance. The condo is clean, fresh-smelling, and no cheap sheets or towels. It's well-decorated and organized so you have no questions about laundry or garbage or even recommendations for the best restaurants. If you're looking for a 5 star resort for this price, look somewhere else, but if you're looking for comfort, aesthetics of the inside of your condo, and convenience, I cannot give Lynette and Tony enough stars for this place. I was shocked. Uber Eats delivers, as does Instacart and there's a Target right across the street from the Daytona Speedway. I highly recommend this room for up to 4 people, but definitely no more than that. It's perfect for a getaway, honeymoon, or just a single's retreat. I 100% will be back with my daughters, hopefully sooner rather than later. Having lost both my parents this year, I needed a mental health break and this was ideal for me. I'm very grateful for the accommodations and the excellent communication. Oh, p.s. PULL on the door handle when you put in the code and when you hear the mechanism finish unlocking THEN turn the knob and go in. Also, the air conditioner will freeze you out if you're not careful with the dial. LOL
