Great hosts!

We had a great stay! The hosts are great.. they were super helpful and responsive and extremely nice! The house was clean and had plenty of accommodations available for use. We always have a hard time finding homes on the beach that allow our dogs to come along so I am super appreciative that the hosts allow dogs. definitely recommend and will be coming back!

Great Location

Location was perfect, close to the beach and within walking distance to restaurants. Backyard was spacious for our two large dogs but would have been perfect if it was fenced in. House was open and quite spacious and the kitchen was well equipped for our needs.

Perfect vacation home

This was a wonderful family vacation home. It was tucked back off the main road but walking distance to stores, a beach and restaurants. It was quiet and comfortable. The home had two “wings” one side for w two rooms w a bathroom and the other side w a king bed and another bathroom. Again perfect for families.

We booked this home for attending the Rockville fest 25'. The kitchen was perfect for breakfast, grill for burgers, dogs, brats etc... Nice and quiet at night after being blasted with the speakers. Was nice seeing DBS Police dept patrolling late at night!!

Wonderful Location and Nice Property

The rental was spacious and clean. It is located a few houses down from A1A with a great beach access less than a five minute walk. The backyard fire pit was very cozy. The propane grill was a nice touch for steak night.

Absolutely a great place steps from the beach

Great clean location close to Daytona Speedway. Huge master bathroom and excellent kitchen. Would highly recommend this property. Being able to sit out by the fire pit and watch a spacex launch was amazing. Host had an excellent screen in the unit for in house communication and events.

Greatest Daytona visit yet!

The property was extremely clean in a nice quiet part by the beach literally 2 blocks from a drive on area!! My family of 6 went and we had lots of space. Everything worked with no issues and communication was excellent. We stayed for Jeep Week and would love to return to this property next year if its available. Perfect vacation and excellent location.

Family wedding weekend

We were looking for a dog-friendly, family place to stay for a wedding. The location of this house was great because we could take advantage of the beach while we were visiting. I was disappointed that the fence was down in the back yard, but that is understandable due to recent storms. Great beach house!

Weekend Family Getaway

Great stay with everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our weekend. Quick responses to all my questions. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook. Very clean! Only downside was most of the beach entrances were closed and under construction due to all storm damage and parts of backyard fence still down so our doggy couldn't just chill in the backyard :). Would book here again if ever in the area. Thank you for sharing your home !

I didn't want to leave !!

Everything was great the house was super cute and I loved the decor. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook with plus more. I really loved the check in tablet on the wall and video message from the owner. Anytime I had a question I was able to text and get an answer right away. The master bedroom and bathroom were my favorite especially the rainfall shower head. The only thing I would suggest is some sort of lock on the sliding door to the master bedroom. The fire pit was used almost every night until our last night. My family and I will be booking again in the future. It was so close to the beach and super quiet. We didn't want to leave our little paradise but had to come back to reality. Thank you for an amazing vacation can't wait to do it again.

Relaxing stay, close to beach!

We booked the Blue Anchor for a week beginning the first week of September. The house is on the smaller side, however there is plenty of room for our family and friends with 6 total people. The house was very clean, and located maybe a 5min walk to the beach or a 1min drive. Neighborhood is very quiet and neighbors are friendly, felt safe the entire time. Beds are comfortable and once you give it some time to cool off the house is comfortable. The bedroom with the 2 twins does get a bit warm however the fan is fixed from a prior review someone left. Our only complaint with the house was the back yard is not fully fenced as it appeared in the pictures at booking. The home is newly remodeled and nicely decorated. I think everyone should be clear this is not the Taj Mahal by any means and for the price this is a very nice place. I would gladly stay here again for a quiet get away with my family and would recommend it to anyone. The staff are friendly and are happy to answer any questions and respond quickly, the check in and out process is very simple and the welcome video is a nice touch along with all of the information on local things to do and places to visit. Our stay was event free, very relaxing and everyone left happy and refreshed. We hope to stay again in the future.

The Blue Anchor

My family has been going to Daytona for over 60 years. We always stay at oceanfront hotels. Due to the recent hurricanes, that have left several hotels under construction, we decided to stay at a house. The blue anchor was a wonderful house for our beach trip. It was clean, had everything we needed, was close to the beach, and was newly redone. My only complaint is the company in charge of the house did not solve an issue we had that ended up affecting our stay. The ceiling fan in the kids room did not work and that room of the house was hotter than the rest of the house. Our kids had to sleep on the couch in the living room all 4 nights. I reached out immediately to them the first day we arrived letting them know that if it could not be quickly fixed, a box fan would work. We were told that they would figure it out one way or another. We never heard back from again. It was very disappointing and frustrating that the kids could not use their room. It also made the mornings and evenings not as enjoyable for the adults to hang out because the living room was now their room. The welcome video that we watched said over and over again to contact them with any issues and they would come fix them. This was definitely not the case.

Great place to stay

My family came from SC to Port Orange for my daughter’s wedding. The Blue Anchor Steps to the Beach proved to be an excellent choice for us. It was well stocked and beautifully decorated. The beds were so comfortable. The location could not have been better. We were within 5 miles of everywhere we needed to be.. I highly recommend The Blue Anchor …our stay was amazing!

Relaxed and ideal location

Blue Anchor was just what we were looking for to spend a few days relaxing. Just steps from the beach, we spent a lot of timing walking and enjoying the weather. The house was as displayed on the website and was lovely. I was surprised that the backyard was not fenced in, which would have been a lot easier with the dog. I would recommend staying here but be aware that the backyard is not fenced in.

Perfect home and location!

The home was amazing., clean and fully stocked. The owners are very responsive for questions prior to your stay. We loved the property and the beach was so close. If you head out to A1A and turn left, you will find an ABC store less than 1 mile. Turning left and driving one mile will get you to the free parking for the beach access. CVS was close, souvenir shop was super close. They have beach chairs available too. There is also a fire pit in the property and a gas grill . It was truly nice to stay here. It’s a super quiet neighborhood too. Ice maker and water from the fridge too. The master bath has a rainfall shower head which was sooo refreshing. We really enjoyed our stay!
