Lakefront Crescent City Studio in Historic Home

Reviews

• 2/5

  Not as described. The yard was grown up, and so was the path to the lake. Was too afraid to walk down to the lake. The shower sprayed water everywhere. The shower head beads were spraying in different directions. It needs to be replaced. Definitely would not stay again.

  Hi Roanglia, The homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  - While the plants in the yard have grown since the last photoshoot the yard itself is maintained regularly.
  - The dock has a full rail on the right-hand side. There is no designated walkway to the dock. It is accessed through the backyard lawn. The dock is as shown in the listing photos. Many of our guests enjoy fishing and the water views.
  - The shower head has been inspected and there were no issues found we have confirmed, that it is functioning as it should.
  - We wish you would have contacted us during your stay. We would have been happy to help with any issues while you were in residence to make your stay comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns in a timely manner.

• Special "one of a kind" stay.

  5/5

  We like older homes and were delighted to find this historic home in Florida. The owners live there in the main part of the house and have a studio apt. with a separate entrance on one side of the home. They were most welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. They kindly gave me some delicious loquats from their tree and later some dried leaves to make a tea for my cough! They also knew one of our family members who had passed away fairly recently so that connection was very special.

  We enjoyed the lovely flowers and other plantings on the grounds as well as being on a small lake. There is a map we used to walk in the neighborhood to see other historic buildings. For dinner one night we drove the 3-4 blocks to a nearby restaurant but you could walk there as well.

  The bedroom was spacious with high ceilings and parquet floors. The bathroom was old-fashioned but everything worked well! The kitchen area is designed into a porch so it's a little compact, but sunny and pleasant. We ate our breakfasts and lunches there for the 3 days of our stay.

  What made it special was the homeyness of the stay. It wasn't "slick" decorating and it took a couple tries to open the door with the lock system, but the hospitality of the owners, the lake setting and the lovely neighborhood made it easy to relax and feel welcomed!

  Check-in process was very simple, property was clean, everything worked properly. Property was beautiful, right along lakefront, with private dock. Beautiful gardens, carport for vehicle, quiet atmosphere for relaxing and still not far away from Daytona Beach. In description of kitchenette knowing how big fridge was would be helpful if longer stay. We had a wonderful time.
