The Monarch House, in the heart of downtown Deland

Welcome! This house was built in 1920 and has been beautifully restored. It's three blocks from the center of downtown Deland! Walk or take a quick bike ride to restaurants and shops. It is a large two story house (2,400sq. ft)! Ping pong, air hockey, cornhole, checkers/chess table, 4 bikes included, huge front porch for people watching, grill, basketball hoop, large natural gas fire pit, and soooo much more! The bunk room upstairs has its own Livingroom and foosball coffee table! Nothing compares!!

The space
Our house has all original hardwood floors throughout. This makes it easy to sanitize and clean. We also made sure to purchase Ruggible brand rugs because they can be machine washed and sanitized as well. All beds have a Tommy Bahama bed protector with 100% Anti-Microbial Silver Infused Hypoallergenic Polyester Fill. The main bedroom has a king size Sleep Number bed with dual side adjustments. Feel free to make the mattress as firm or as soft as you'd like. We believe that this house will be like your family's home away from home, with special attention to providing a premium place to stay in Deland. We teamed up with a local soap maker to provide our guests with custom made organic goat milk soap. A bar will be placed in the master bathroom upstairs and we encourage everyone to take it home! There are sound machine alarm clocks in every room with usb charging ports. Games, books, and a large dvd selection is ready and waiting! In one of the rooms upstairs we placed a "Total Gym" for anyone wanting to keep up with their daily or weekly workout. For the fun side of things there is an awesome Margaritaville drink maker in the kitchen as well as an icemaker that produces 100lbs of ice daily. Our house sits on a half acre with plenty of yard and space for kids to enjoy.

As just another little bonus….. the China cabinets in the dinning room are stocked with tons of local Deland items purchased from shops around town. In case you forgot a souvenir, something for your stay, or gift for someone we have you covered! All you have to do is send a message about wanting something and we will unlock the cabinet for you. There is zero mark up. You pay what it cost at the store. It’s all about supporting local business owners and friends.

IMPORTANT DETAILS!!!!!

Our nightly rate is based on a total of 8 guests. We can accommodate two additional guests for a $20 per person, per night fee. Which means a max of 10 guests. Anyone booking who disrespects this will be asked to leave immediately without any refund.

There is a ton of paved parking in the front of the house. The FRONT of the house has 2-4 parking spaces that are for this rental. Do not block the driveway to the back of the house or park behind the house. Overflow parking, and additional vehicles can be arranged with advanced notice and approval. There will be no issue with any type of vehicle you may bring…….you just have to communicate about it first.

BOOKING MEANS YOU HAVE READ ALL THE DETAILS AND ACCEPT THEM.

****Rules regarding service dogs are firm and booking with us is your acceptance of our requirements, regardless if you did not do your due diligence in reading all the details before booking. We are a pet free rental due to family members with SEVERE allergies. “If” a non service dog is brought onto the property that will be an immediate cancelation of the booking, with an additional $300 fee pulled from the security deposit.

Service animals need to be disclosed when the booking is created, and proof of training for their service provided. If fraud is found concerning this we will take full and immediate action.

A month getaway
We enjoyed our month in Deland. This house was perfect for our needs and it felt like home. If you like to cook, like us, you will enjoy the kitchen. We walked downtown many times to experience the shops. We enjoyed attending the theater, the Me Strong race, and the dog parade. A very short distance to the church was a plus too! Thank you Kelly for doing all the extras and making us feel part of the community.

Beautiful home!!!
Everything about it was great! Communication, the house, great location, and so much more. We did not have time to explore the city much due to having to be in Daytona throughout the days we were there. I can’t say enough of how beautiful the house was and especially the decor. Chefs kiss perfection.

Beautiful and Well-Appointed
This is the best property we've stayed at. The home is solid and beautiful. It has historic charm with all the modern conveniences. The hosts have thought of every detail make staying here easy. There is clear signage, clear labeling. There are so many thoughtful features like a large DVD library, beach towels, ear plugs, a cooler next to the ice machine, etc. The bathroom off the master is spacious. The bunk room is fun. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Home away from home
The home was lovely and the location was convenient to Stetson University and downtown Deland. At first arrival we were concerned that the home was on a semi busy street but noise was not an issue at all and we slept very comfortably and soundly. We will definitely be staying again in the future. Everything was decorated beautifully.

A Wonderful Home Away from Home
The Monarch House is a wonderful home away from home. It is located near the downtown area and so it easy to get to, and central to many local destinations. The inside is beautifully decorated and in pristine condition. Everything you need is provided as well. We enjoyed a Ping Pong tournament as well as sitting on the front porch at night. The house is on a pretty busy street, so there is some traffic noise, but we hardly noticed it for the most part. We would definitely choose it again when we visit Deland in the future.

Great stay!
The owner was very responsive to us and accommodating. Spotless and charmingly decorated to honor the houses history in the community without making it feel outdated. The entire house was equip with all kinds of little details to maximize your stay. It offers so much: bikes, pinpong table, an array of dvds and board games, crayons and notebooks for coloring, foosball table, fire pit, popcorn machine, smoker and basketball court. It’s a house equipped with everything you can imagine for entertainment. Also, we found the best public park we’ve ever been to with our children- only about a 5 minute drive from the home. We truly enjoyed our stay and felt right at home.

Family Christmas Gathering in Florida
Kelly and Matt made this house feel like you are staying in a home away from home. The Monarch home is very clean, well organized and nicely decorated. They thought of everything to make you feel comfortable-from movies and board games, to ping pong, checkers and bikes to take for a ride. Whether you are enjoying a nice cup of coffee on the front porch or a glass of wine and cigar around the fire pit in the back, you will feel very relaxed. My parents just moved to the area after being in CT for over 70 years. This is their first Christmas away from family. We thought it would be a great surprise to come to Florida to celebrate the holiday. The Monarch Home was perfect for my family, my siblings and their family to stay and have a Florida Christmas with our parents/grandparents. Plenty of room for all to enjoy. Thank you again Kelly and Matt for allowing us to have this special memory in your beautiful home. You accommodated us and were always responsive to our questions. We will definitely tell all of our friends about your home. Happy Holidays-Brian and Traci Feshler
