Three Oars Beach Bungalow

This worked well for our family of 9. (Husband and wife with a daughter and her husband and baby, an adult daughter with a friend, and two older sons). The main living space was not huge, but provided ample room with downstairs game room adding nicely for space to hang out. The downstairs bedroom definitely feels like a basement. It worked for our sons in a bachelor pad kind of way, but I wouldn’t have been thrilled to stay there. It had its own refrigerator, sink and kitchen. When we arrived, the maintenance man was busy repairing and replacing furniture that had been damaged by previous renters. He was very friendly and emphasized his availability if we had any problems. The beds were comfortable, water pressure was good, water heater accommodated us, and the AC worked well. We loved how close we were to the beach and did not have any problems crossing the road to get there (There’s a large median for crossing two lanes and then two more). The easy access to garage storage for all the sandy beach stuff was also great! There were two large tubes, about 6 chairs, a lot of sand toys, and a couple of styrofoam coolers. There were ample bath towels, but we were glad were brought extra beach towels. The pool is nice-great for cooling off while socializing, but there’s not a lot of room for older kids to play in it. If you want a clean space that meets basic needs you will be pleased. If we return to Daytona, we’d gladly stay here again.

We liked the place as it was conveniently located across the street from the beach. The communication with salty dog, the group that runs the place, was very good! I was responded to right away with any question or request I had. We loved the use of the beach chairs. We wish the pool would’ve been a little cleaner and there wasn’t a whole lot of silverware. The main TV in the living room was glitchy and we were unable to watch the NCAA March madness games, which was a little disappointing. The grill was a little small, but when it ran out of gas or was close to it, they came out and replaced the tank right away. The basement sink was clogged when we arrived and they responded right away by fixing it. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and liked the place.

Super nice & fun

Great space right across from the beach with very communicative hosts who seem like they really care. Thank you for a great week!

We had a good stay overall. The beds were very comfortable, and when we arrived to find the pool overflowing, maintenance showed up within minutes and took care of it right away — great responsiveness.A few things could be improved. Even though we reserved the full property, we only received the access code for the top level initially. We had to reach out for the code to the lower level, and once we received it, the code worked on only one of the doors. Also, the beach chairs were padlocked. If this were a private home, we would have assumed they weren’t for guest use, but given that this is strictly a vacation rental, it was confusing why they weren’t accessible.Parking was available but not ideal. We had a pickup truck and a small SUV, and fitting both was a bit tight.

The house was very clean and conveniently located. It was a great layout for our group and the pool area was nice. Kitchen was well appointed. Communication from the manager was very good and check-in process was very easy. Parking is a little challenging with large vehicles. Would definitely book again when staying in Daytona Beach.

The house was perfect for our large group. 3 couples and 7 kids ages 1-9 years old. Beds for everyone, space to spread out and be together or have privacy. House definitely has its quirks and wear as an older home, but was very clean and spacious. I feel like the convenience to the beach was understated, it was such a short quick walk that running back to grab something was no big deal. We had the beach to ourselves almost the whole time. So many towels, even for our big group. Will definitely keep this on the list of future rentals!

Beach was a short walk across the street. You could see the Ocean from the upstairs windows. Beds were comfortable. The downstairs water pressure was not good but the two showers upstairs were good. Felt like the online description was accurate. We had 9 people from ages 14 to 86 and they all had a great time.

Great property, gave plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The kids loved the pool. And house was well stocked with pool towels, beach toys, and chairs! Parking was tight, but doable. Overall great experience.

This house was perfect for our family get together. It fit the eight of us very comfortably. The location was perfect! Just a short walk to the beach, and close to restaurants and shopping. When we had enough beach time, the beautiful pool was a nice option. The host was very attentive, and communication before and during our stay was great. We would definitely stay here again!

Plenty of room nice kitchen

Our family stayed with another family for the weekend since our kids had a volleyball tournament at the Ocean Center. While we could have just stayed at a hotel we rented this house because of the game room and what we thought was a hot tub. We weren’t thrilled with the crazy high booking fee but thought it would be worth it. Well the arcade game didn’t work, there were no darts for the dart game and we were told after check in the hot tub was not a hot tub it was a soaking tub, insert eye roll. Don’t list pictures of things that don’t actually work. The house is fine but don’t book if you are looking to have those extra perks.

Let me start by saying that our stay was a week after Hurricane Milton went through. That said, I did call Monday morning just to confirm that the unit was still available and was checked after the storm went through - I was assured that it had been checked out and everything was good for our Friday arrival. The first problem was that the VRBO map from the app kept directing us to a street over from where the unit was. The rep I spoke to on the phone was extremely nice and gave us precise directions to the unit—it was literally two minutes away from where we were. The first real problem we had was not being able to get into the bottom half of the unit; one couple in our party had to sleep on the upstairs couches the first night. The second problem we had was the pool, and soaking spa were not usable; the pumps weren't working, and there was still debris (I am assuming from the storm) in the pool; essentially, the pool needed to be cleaned, and since the pump(s) weren't working the water was not being circulated - so not at all a usable option. All in all, it was okay. Everyone I dealt with from the company was very nice and did what they could. If it weren't for the storm or I were to stay again and any of the issues occurred, I would probably be asking for at least a partial refund. $2500 for the weekend and not having the unit 100% is pretty disappointing.
