Hummingbird cottage was awesome. We spent 3 nights here and enjoyed every minute. April warmly welcomed us and her staff was very kind and helpful. The cottage though dated was sparkling clean. It was very private and quiet. The TV's worked very well and got many stations. The kitchen was amply supplied if you choose to cook. The onsite deli served delicious breakfasts and sandwiches. It was an active marina, and we enjoyed watching the rental boats coming and going. As avid birdwatchers we enjoyed the many birds on the river.
We would highly recommend Hontoon Resort and Marina.
Thank-you for taking the time to write a review, it is appreciated.
Humming Bird Cottage hits the mark - so cute.
A lovely little hideaway. As a couple we stayed at Hummngbird Cottge (number 3) for four nights at Hontoon Landing Resort and Marina. What a find. The little cottage is set up for two people perfectly (with wheelchair access). There are kitchen amenities (fridge, cooker, microwave), dining table and chairs, separate room with double bed and en suite shower and toilet. A little shed on site with coin operated washing machines and dryer - what more could you want? We hired a pontoon boat for one day and took our time floating around the St John's River bird spotting. We took 100's of photos so we could identify them all on our return. We saw many alligators, though I'm sure there were more that saw us. We found playful otters and watched a few manatee cruise past. They also offer organised 2 hour cruises from the marina. The Hontoon Marina Deli provides a great breakfast and the staff were ALL so chatty and welcoming. Mary Lou introduced us to Whitey the Great Egret who comes when called for his minnows. We were able to photograph a Limpkin showing off how he eats mussels. We caught the ferry over to Hontoon Island and spent a few hours wandering around taking in the sights and sounds. There are minimal facilities on the island but you can camp or use their cabins which are all very basic. We had a fabulous time, thank you, I just know we WILL go back. Very best wishes Sue and Richard.
Anytime I spend time in DeLand, FL, the Hummingbird Cottage at Hontoon will be the place that I would stay. The cottages furniture, especially televisions are outdated, but the cottage itself was great. I'm happy that there are rules put into place especially for quite time from 11:00 p.m., to 8:00 a.m. It was very peaceful and the St. John's River is beautiful. Great place to stay!
We enjoyed the quiet of the area and the proximity to the venues we had to attend for a wedding. Nothing was over 30 minutes away so it was a relaxing getaway.
It was a very clean and beautiful place. Rooms were comfy and large. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was wonderful. Conveniently located between Daytona Beach and Orlando. Deland is a nice little town to visit.
