Yes this building is a little dated but that is absolutely normal for beach towns. John the property manager was wonderful, anytime you crossed paths he was super pleasant and you were always greeted with a smile and hello.

I have owned a timeshare here since 1981. I noticed today that it only averaged 3 stars on Yelp,…read moreand wondered why. So, I read all the reviews. I noticed that most of the one-star reviews are outdated, and no longer accurate from before the significant remodeling and change in management. Even most of those were the typical angry knee-jerk one-star reactions caused by a negative interaction with a staff member, or the fact that they were inconvenienced by specific incidences like the pool being closed due to being under repair. Those reactions might or might not have been accurate, and justified at the time, but the issues I read have all been rectified via remodeling, or management changes. This review is from the end of 2024, and all available rooms have been freshly remodeled with an open room concept. The majority of rooms come in two slightly different sizes. The even numbered rooms are slightly larger rooms, while even number rooms are slightly smaller. All rooms with numbers ending in 12 or under are beachfront rooms with balconies. Those ending in 13 or above are beach view rooms with balconies (except for rooms ending in 17), facing the Andy Romano Beachfront Park. There are those that like the south facing, sun bathing time balconies of the numbered rooms ending in 13-16. I personally love the view from any of the beachfront units, numbered rooms ending in 1-12. There are two available elevators, centrally located, as well as two sets of stairs at both ends of the L shaped building. The front desk is staffed 24/7, but the front door is locked in the evening, requiring room key access. There is also a gated side entry door and the beach stairs gated entry, both require room key access. All rooms have kitchenettes that include a refrigerator, microwave, stove/oven, sink, and lots of cupboard space. The kitchens have a full complement of dishes, glassware, cooking utensils, etc. The bathroom has power ventilation, a sink/vanity, toilet and walk-in shower. Rooms have a closet, a dresser with plenty of drawers, a sleeper sofa, a table with four chairs, a modern cable and internet streaming capable good size TV on the wall and a queen size bed. There is a/c, heating, and Wi-Fi available throughout the facilities, including the rooms. Each room has a balcony with a couple of small plastic chairs and a table. The facility has a good size heated outdoor swimming pool, indoor hot tub, and small gym. There are changing rooms in that area, as well as an outdoor grill area. There are plenty of lounges and tables with umbrellas on the pool deck. Beach access via gated stairs is available from the pool deck or via the Milsap beach ramp directly adjacent to the property. Most week days there also is some limited social activity available for children, and/or adults. Most of the rooms allow two to four occupants, although they do have a limited amount of rooms that can hold up to eight guests. Smoking is not allowed in the rooms, or at the facilities, except on the balconies, and in the parking lot. Speaking of parking, during high occupancy periods, parking can be challenging, but they do have an agreement for overflow parking across the street, in the rear parking lot of the Beachside Restaurant. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed on the property. Official documented service animals, by law, are. There are multiple restaurants within easy walking distance, with modern traffic caution lighted crosswalks to safely get across the often busy five lane A1A. Many gift shops are in the area, as well as a shopping center within a half mile that has multiple stores, including a Publix, Walgreens, and UPS Store. The beach is the typical hard pack, walk-able, drive-able beach of the Daytona area. Directly south of the property is the Andy Romano Beachfront Park, which does not allow cars, so it is safer for children. The park has restroom facilities with modern plumbing, picnic tables, a small padded playground, and an in season children's splash pad. This is an older former hotel building, but with over all good upkeep, and plenty of new remodeling. The manager and staff are all competent, professional, accommodating, and friendly. I unreservedly give my full recommendation to this property for a beach vacation.

No bugs. Peaceful and quiet A bit of clutter in the long term stay area from wheel chairs and mobility chairs but hey, otherwise worth the price which was upward of $75 a night as I recall (depending on the time of year and events in town.) My room had double beds and was on first floor about midway as I recall. Patio tables outside the door and only a few yards from ocean access. I recall they had grills outside but I don't remember a pool. Parking is kinda tight and no room for a vehicle with a trailer or not allowed to park along A1A and nowhere else nearby to leave a trailer or a boat, so... as long as you got just the one vehicle it's good. I recall it did have guest laundry available.

I'm a music lover and the added bonus of being able to have a Victrola record player in the room for free is a nice perk. Just please note that you need to request that well in advance of your stay because they will run out before you arrive.

The room included a microwave in the little closet area and plenty of soaps in the bathroom. The owner was very accommodating and friendly, and the price was right for our meager budget.

We were able to stay here 2 days before our cross-country move with our 2 cats - and only with a $20 deposit. Nowhere else offers this option that I know of. Rooms are very clean and cute, with (I couldn't believe this) a small-but-complete kitchen (oven and stove top, full fridge, microwave, coffee pot WITH coffee, filters, cream and sugar), a fold-out comfortable futon and sitting area, and a separate bedroom. Also a TV with DVD player, and complimentary DVDs! A pretty screaming deal when you consider how close you are to the beach (just a short bike ride down Flagler) and the fact that you're adjacent to the Intercoastal. There's a little park and playground next door for families, perfect! Add to all the lush little courtyard with plenty of covered picnic tables and grills...everything you need. If you're a fussy person who needs their sheets changed and turned down every day, it might not be the place for you. But there's a Hampton Inn just down the street that's 4x the price if you need that extra bit of pampering...

The rooms are well furnished an immaculacy clean. The backside borders on Buena Vista Park which provides water access, fishing areas, and a very nice children's playground. The downside is that the front parking is gravel so if you walk using a cane, you are going to have some difficulties. Also, the television is some kind of weird satellite which I found to be unworkable and utterly useless. The kitchen area is so small, that you can only work in it with difficulty. Buena Vista Intracoastal Inn is also void of most expected amenities such as a pool, though they do have a BBQ set for community use. Overall, I think you might do better elsewhere.
