Our central Florida second home is a completely renovated Craftsman bungalow in a historic neighborhood of beautiful small town DeLand, winner of multiple "Best Mainstreet in America" competitions. DeLand is located 30 minutes from New Smyrna Beach (just south of world famous Daytona Beach) and 45 minutes from Orlando and Universal Studios. It's just a bit further to the Disney parks, Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, and many other Orlando attractions, as well as historic St. Augustine, the oldest town in the U.S. We're also very close to the St. John's River and several springs (populated with manatees in cooler months) where opportunities for cycling, kayaking, hiking and experiencing "real Florida" abound. The entire downstairs of our duplex (3 BR, 1.5 bath) as well as outside grounds are all yours. Nearby Stetson University and the downtown area, with its many interesting shops and well-regarded restaurants, are both within walking/biking distance. The master BR has a queen bed and en suite half bath, the second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has a day bed/trundle bed that can be made into either a king bed or two twin beds. There is a screened front porch and small patio with gas grill in back.
