*****************************************
■ INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
We offer easy self-check-in for your convenience, but we’re always just a message away if you need anything during your stay. Whether you have questions, suggestions, or requests, we respond quickly and are happy to help.

We’re local owners and speak both English and Spanish, so feel free to reach out in whichever language you’re most comfortable with.

*******************************************
■ Things to Know Before Booking (Please Read)

Our property has been part of Daytona Beach history since the 1960s, originally operating as a beachfront motel before transitioning into a Condominium Association in 1999. Today, each unit is individually owned and managed, giving the building its unique charm and character.

We want you to have the best stay possible, so please review the following important details before booking:

■ Parking (Very Important)

● Each condo is issued ONE parking pass only.
● The towing company patrols hourly and will tow any vehicle without a pass displayed — including cars waiting for check-in or parked early.
Please do not arrive early and park without your pass.

● Extra vehicles must use paid public parking. There are multiple lots and garages within walking distance from the Daytona Inn.

● No trailer parking is allowed anywhere on the property.

■ Building Notes & Maintenance

● While uncommon, service or building emergencies may occur. We will notify guests immediately if anything impacts your stay.
● Electrical breakers may trip if too many high-powered appliances run at once. Just message us and we’ll reach out to management.
● The building has mandatory scheduled pest control. If it falls during your stay, we will inform you in advance.

■ AC / Heat System (Please Read)

The building uses a shared central HVAC system controlled by the Condominium Association.

● Each unit has its own thermostat to toggle the system ON/OFF.
● The system can run in cooling OR heating mode, not both.
● The Association determines which mode is active based on seasonal temperatures.

If you require a different temperature style (very cold, very warm, or full individual control), this setup may not meet your expectations.

■ Before Booking

If you have any questions or concerns about parking, the building itself, AC/heat, or anything else, please message us first.
We want to make sure our studio is the right fit for you.

If this setup will not work for you, please do not book to avoid disappointment.

■ Cancellation Policy

We strongly recommend purchasing “Cancel for Any Reason” travel insurance.
Our cancellation policy will be strictly enforced.

■ Service Animal Policy (ADA Compliant)

We do not charge extra for legitimate Service Animals.

Guests are responsible for any damage caused by their Service Animal or by uncontrolled behavior.

Guests bringing a Service Animal are required to answer the two ADA-permitted questions:

1. Is the Service Animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?

Service Animals must:
● Be harnessed, leashed, or tethered unless such devices interfere with their work
● Remain under full control of the handler at all times
● Never be left unattended in the unit

Fraudulent claims:
If a guest falsely identifies a pet as a Service Animal, we reserve the right to:
● Seek financial restitution for damages
● Report the fraudulent claim
● Evict guests immediately without refund.

*************LOCAL AREA**************

This room was very clean and very cute mermaid decor. We came down for Biketoberfest and wanted to get close to main street and this place was perfect. Main st just couple blocks away and close to the entertainment restraunts. Beach right in back and the pool was great! Thank you! Ken and Lisa

Decent apartment but terrible complex

This is an old hotel turned privately owned apartments located in a building walking distance to the Daytona beach pier. The actual apartment itself was relatively clean and it was apparent the owners put effort into cleaning it up, though the overwhelming smell of moldy mildew was difficult to overcome regardless of the air evaporator they had set up in the room. We also arrived with the ac out and a small portable unit set up in the kitchen area which did not adequately cool the entire unit and leaked on the floor which also added to the moisture in the room. We also learned the owners knew ahead of time that the ac was out, which we were not made aware of. Thankfully it came back on before our first night but we never felt like the room was adequately cooled during the daytime. It’s important to note we were there during a holiday weekend so perhaps the grounds would have been better maintained during a less busy time, but the actual complex was awful. The pool was full of debris, the pot and cigarette smoke was awful everywhere we went outside of our room. Someone even sat on their balcony throwing their cigarette buts into the bed of our truck parked under them. It honestly felt like we were staying in a frat house during spring break. It was not at all family friendly. We took a chance on the affordable price, but you get what you pay for and in this case, we wish we had spent the extra money for a more classy location.

Charming Coastal Escape at Off Duty Mermaid Studio

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Off Duty Mermaid Studio in Daytona Beach! This charming studio exceeded our expectations in every way. The space was impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The mermaid-themed decor was a delightful touch, adding a whimsical and coastal vibe that perfectly complemented the beachside location.One of the highlights of our stay was the large pool area, which was well-maintained and offered plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing. The pool overlooks the beach, providing stunning views and a serene setting to unwind. The direct beach access from the pool area was incredibly convenient, making it easy to go from a refreshing swim to strolling along the shore.Overall, the Off Duty Mermaid Studio is a gem for anyone looking for a clean, charming, and conveniently located getaway in Daytona Beach. We highly recommend it and would love to return for another relaxing stay!
