Although this is a small "Time share" Condo, They rent to the public also. AND…read moreit's in OBS (Ormond by the Sea) which is much quieter than Ormond or Daytona Beach which are within 2 & 6 miles from each other. They are a small and quaint condo RIGHT ON THE BEACH. The prices for a large or small unit that have kitchens, 1 or 2 bedrooms with bath are not astronomical like other places. Did I mention that there is no driving on this part of the beach so you can sunbathe, relax, have your kids play here without the pressure of someone running you over. Wow, the updates and upgrades are continuing to improve The hurricanes haven't slowed them down The Cam and General Managers are dynamite. They work perfectly with the great staff. This "Timeshare" also continues as a hotel so you can call them for reservations or even better, go on Expedia where you can get excellent deals The staff as I mentioned, are incredible. Most of them have worked together as a well oiled machine for years. (This tells you something when there aren't any turnovers with staff) Owners that come year after year are extremely satisfied with care of their condos and even themselves. Again, they treat you like family. What I love about the newly experienced staff is when/if something isn't right they will IMMEDIATELY fix any problems that happens to occur. They continue to have staff and owners meetings once a week You can come in on Wednesdays, have coffee and donuts and express any problems or just tell them they are doing a great job They will tell you about the makeover and improvements that they are making for your stay to be as memorable They want you to have the best experience you want while enjoying your vacation. The Management, staff AND the maintenance is professional & understand the need to relax, have family parties, reunions & cater to your enjoyment while you are staying there. Did I mention they are RIGHT on the beach? YES, walk outside your door, past their clean well cared for pool, and onto this side of beach which is WITHOUT cars driving NOW, I didn't know I had to explain this but just like ANY condo, hotel, motel and resort Ocean FRONT and Ocean VIEW are NOT the same Ocean FRONT means walk out the door or balcony and you see the ocean Ocean VIEW means you will be able to have a view of the ocean . Sooo, Be aware of this when you book ANY resort that there is a clear understanding of what you are booking Trader's Inn also accommodates Bike week, Spring breakers Car shows, special events and more They do book quickly for these events even into the next year so get you booking in early so as not to miss out Let's talk to you SNOWBIRDS There are new deals for you if you are planning to spend some time here. Give them a call and the professional staff will give you the information I did say Trader's inn is onEXPEDIA The reviews are amazing because of the updates, etc, That they are booking the units FAST. Some are booked for 2026 already. OK, one (1) more thing. They announced particulars on the billboard outside. YOU can now rent the sign to put YOUR announcements up (See management for details) THINKING about buying weeks in timeshare? Talk to their specialist, she is experienced in giving you details WITHOUT the run around, confusing spiel. REMEMBER The Sea will set you free

The best part was the backyard: beautiful quiet beach and warm clean pool. The waves were a little wild due to Hurricane Erin, but the beach was clean and mostly empty. Also spotted dolphins in the afternoon and on another day mid morning. This was unit 801. Lovely balcony overlooking pool deck and beach. The exterior o f the building is old and needs some love but inside the unit was clean and cozy. I would for sure stay here again.

Additionally, we do not feel that other required service providers (fuel, restaurants, stores. Etc.) would be available to support our trip.

I will never use then again and will pass this on to others.

Workmen who didn't speak English were on our balcony often trying to repair the crumbling exteriors and balconies. We were unable to have an unobstructed view of the ocean because of the very large forklift which often was parked right outside of our window. No, the landlord, Carol Rogers, did not inform us prior to our rental that all this repair work was going to be going on. When we tried to cancel our reservation she refused to refund a month's rent which cost us $2800. I would NEVER rent from this person ever again.

The view was good but not worth the criminal activity that the owner is going to surprise you with…read moreafter you leave a review. After we left our review about a week after our stay, the owner charged my card an extra $250 for "extra cleaning". The problem is, we did not leave the house in such a state that extra cleaning was needed. VRBO is supposed to be investigating it, and it has been five weeks since I reported it with no answer from VRBO yet. Meanwhile, the owner charged my card $250 extra for no good reason. She waited until after we left our review to do it. I was able to get my review deleted, but I would not trust the reviews on there now, since she probably charges everyone her bogus fee after they leave a review. Not only did she charge my card without authorization a week after our stay, she also sent a hateful email insulting my family regarding how we left the house. We literally left a few dishes in the sink and some leftover groceries in the fridge. NO reason for extra cleaning fee of $250. There is also a massive condo skyrise right next to the house that is hidden from the pictures. She also states that it is a three bedroom house, when it is only a two bedroom house. Throwing a daybed into a closet room does not count as a bedroom. There were city code violations at the house as well. I could go on and on. We will never rent from this criminal again.

The condos were good--one had furniture that was a little tired, the other was better. It's a great location on the beach with beautiful sunrises. The area around the pool is a little narrow for lounge chairs. In both condos a new renter was arriving the same day we checked out. Our deposit was to be returned after a walk through was completed (this per one of the owners). We assumed this would happen before the next renter checked in that day. However, it took several inquiries and over a month from our departure for our deposit to be returned. RLM

The condos are spacious, comfortable and equipped for longer stays. The vibe is so much more peaceful and intimate than staying at a Daytona hotel. We've stayed at similar places nearby when we can't get in here but nothing compares to the tranquility of this well maintained smaller complex. We stayed here over five years ago for the first time with family during the summer season and didn't care for the tons of kids in the pool, tents everywhere, loud radios on the beach and general noise throughout the day and night; but from the last couple reviews it sounds like the management may not be letting kids wreak havoc anymore which I personally appreciate. I'm a big fan of staying in the winter with (mostly) older folks who are also quietly appreciating the sound of the waves and the wind in the trees!! If you're respectful and considerate of others I can't see how you'd have a bad time at this wonderful place.
