Riverfront with boat dock, sleeps 8, walking distance to beach. 14 NIGHTS FREE !

Our Riverhouse on John Anderson Drive is recently renovated as a casual fishing and boating retreat on the Halifax River (Intracoastal Waterway). The Halifax River and Intracoastal Waterway is the inside passage for boats of all sizes traveling along the east coast of America. Located in the beachside town of Ormond By the Sea and convenient to the hustle and bustle of Daytona Beach a short drive to the south. The house accommodates 8 people comfortably. Almost all rooms overlook the river and offer an unobstructed view of the passing watercraft of every size. Barges, yachts, sailboats, motorboats, canoes, and kayaks pass within feet of the seawall. Manatee and dolphin pass under the dock and if bird watching is your interest you will enjoy watching the waterfowl, terns, owls and osprey flying overhead and nesting on the nearby islands.

The house is located on John Anderson Drive - named for one of the original settlers of the area. Most weekends you will find many bicyclists passing in front of the house riding "the loop", the picturesque John Anderson Drive, through Cobb's Corner, then circling around the west side of the river and back across the Ormond Bridge, where many weekend activities take place at Rockefeller Gardens and the Fortunato Park.

The house is ideal for a family or 3-4 couples. When you walk in the front door you will immediately see the outstanding view of the water. The great room is comfortable and spacious and includes a fireplace and TV. The kitchen is modern and clean with a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, stove, and oven. There are a washer and dryer in the attached garage. There is an eat-in kitchen set overlooking the river and the second-best place to enjoy breakfast, the first being on the outside patio and dock!! The kitchen is stocked with some staple items and PUBLIX supermarket is within 2 miles. All our guests comment on the fun of waving to the boats as they enjoy their morning coffee.

The spacious master bedroom on the second floor has a breathtaking view of the river. The room boasts 140 sq. ft of window overlooking the riverfront. The second-floor location gives you a great view of the islands and the entrance to Tomoka State Park. The bathroom is modern and includes a large tub and separate shower with a private toilet. The room has a separate thermostat for your comfort and is well appointed with tasteful furnishings, TV and seating area. You will awake to boats passing so close you may forget you are on land and not in a boat yourself!

The second upstairs bedroom is also spacious and nicely appointed and has a King bed and private bath. The bedroom overlooks the river and is private from the master bedroom location.
The third bedroom is located downstairs also with a river view and contains a King bed and semi-private bathroom. There is an additional bedroom downstairs and has a Queen bed and a semi-private bath
The house is equipped with beach chairs, coolers, and beach umbrellas. 2 Bicycles and rentals are also available. If spending a day at the beach is in your plans, we suggest packing a cooler and making the short walk or ride to the beach. The beach in Ormond By The Sea is quieter then the beaches to the south and we think prettier!! The dunes are natural and the beach less crowded. You can walk for miles in either direction, search for shells, frolic in the waves, watch the sandpipers, seagulls, and pelicans, build a sandcastle, cast a surf rod and maybe even catch your dinner. Fresh fish on the dock will certainly be tasty, (propane grill provided)! The beach changes daily and early morning walks will bring many discoveries, you never know the treasure you may find.

The house has a two-car garage for car or motorcycle storage out of the weather. For the motorcycle enthusiast, there are many great rides close by including the Ormond Loop, Cobb's Corner, Matanzas Inlet to Ponce Inlet, Main Street, and the legendary Boothill Saloon, to name a few. The Daytona International Speedway and Museum is within 10 miles from the house and close to some of the off-site parking areas for Nascar events.

Orlando area attractions are approximately one hour drive as well as Kennedy Space Center. Ponce Inlet is on the south end and offers many deep-sea fishing boats for daily charter. The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse is a fun visit and great seafood restaurants are nearby. A visit to St. Augustine is only 45 minutes to the north and getting there is half the fun as you drive along the beachside on A1A. You will pass Flagler Beach, Palm Coast, Matanzas Inlet, and Marineland, again with lots of choices in restaurants and local shops.


No vacation is complete without a deep-sea fishing trip or a visit to Cape Canaveral about an hour away by car.

Beautiful & relaxing
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at 23 Riverhouse. The home is comfortable & clean. The host was so very hospitable too! Enjoyed watching the boats pass by & dolphins as well. Could use a dining table in main area for group dinners & game playing. Would recommend it for adults only as not kid proof - Not an issue for us but may be for others.

This home was very comfortable and the owner was very hospitable. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.
The dock was the most fun. Every morning and then every evening, we enjoyed sitting on the dock and watching the boats and the wildlife. Couldn’t have had a better time at this house. John was the best host, and the most accommodating. Can’t wait to come again.

An all around winner for a vacation rental
Easily the best hosts you will ever come into contact with. They are very understanding and make the entire process easy. Not only that, they even bought us breakfast to cook for the house so we didn’t have to go out the next morning to get it after our long trip there the night prior. The house is beautiful and couldn’t be a better location. Recommend this spot entirely.

Cleanest place we have ever stayed.
John the property manager meant us at arrival and showed us around. Such a nice guy. By far the best equipped home and very clean. Hope to go back soon and have a glass of wine with John and his wife. A lot I would like to talk about with this 94 year old gentleman.

Great place for a family vacation
First let me say being a guest of John’s is like being part of the family. He met us there to walk us through and answer any questions. He left a bunch of little things to make it feel like home. Milk, juice, beer and wine. Also snacks, baked goods and 1 day’s breakfast If you are lucky enough to get a loaf of the cranberry bread eat it up! My family loved it. We had 3 different “families” come together for our family vacation. Everyone had their own room and their own bathroom. The living space was perfect. The deck outback provided hours of enjoyment as we are a family of fishers and we had a blast. We were able to use the poles provided which was an added bonus. We caught several catfish, a puffer fish, a crab and a couple of sting rays. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad as we brought our portable wagon. The household binder was very detailed and had great restaurant recommendations. We will be back.
