Central Flagler Beach ~ 1/2 Block to Ocean/Pier in Flagler Beach

Great Little Place

Review submitted: September 5, 2011   Date of arrival: June 1, 2011

I stayed here for a month. I was thrilled that my dog was able to come along. GENERAL: This unit has both a street and courtyard entrance; very helpful when loading and unlaoding the car. There is a laundry facility on the lower level of the courtyard-FREE. There is also a small room with a treadmill and bike that I never saw anyone use. The place is quiet, family friendly. There are a few year-round residents. The pool is small-never used it as the beach is a block away.

LOCAL: All parking is public, grab a spot Friday night and walk everywhere during the weekend. The unit is one block from the Friday Market in the square. The Golden Lion restaurant is a must (a few blocks north of pier). Billy's Tap Room in Ormond Beach is a must (make reservations and dress nicely). Swimming on the north side of the pier is generally calmer water, but south of the pier is more family and quiet.

UNIT: Pet friendly...YEA! It was clean and had no "beachfront hotel smell." Everything you need was in the unit. People leave their spices, extra zip-lock bags, foil wrap, cleaners, etc. I left the funnels...LOL. The kitchen is very nice. The pantry is small for a month stay, but no biggie. The closet is small as well. The sofa is your adverage queen sleeper. The TV is the old tube kind, but you can connect a DVD player or game with basic R, Y, W jacks-no HDMI (no stereo). There is also basic Cable. There is wi-fi (and a land based line when I stayed). The a/c is 2 window units, and they are kinda loud; especially the LR unit. The bed (queen) is extra, extra, extra firm. There are, however, pull down shades in the bedroom that blocks the courtyard lights...nice. The bedroom has no door. The owners are very helpful, kind, and understanding. I gave it four stars only because of the firmness of the bed. I felt safe here; even at night walking my dog. I would stay here again.

P.S. When you're outside at the street and you hear an odd laugh or a high voice say, "Hi. What's your name?" And you look and see no one....its a parrot on the screened porch of the pink pirate house across the street. It took me 3 days to figure that out.

Wonderful Family Time!

We really enjoyed our stay at your place this past week. The place was very nice, and the other guests/residents were extremely pleasant. Our little boys enjoyed the beach and pool this year as much as they did last year when we visited the Plaza Caribe. Thank you both again for allowing us to rent the place for a week long family vacation. We had a wonderful time, and hope to visit again next year.
