Welcome to our Mosquito Lagoon Cottage Web site!

We have a cottage in Oak Hill, Florida on a deep water canal on the Intracoastal Waterway and the incredible Mosquito Lagoon.  This is also a part of the area known as the Indian River Lagoon.   If you are not familiar with the Mosquito Lagoon, I have more information about the Mosquito Lagoon on this site.  The Mosquito Lagoon is a great place for fishing (especially for redfish), shrimping, and just enjoying cruising the waterways in your boat.

We are offering the use of our furnished cottage as a vacation rental or "holiday home"  for weekly and monthly rentals. 

If you are visiting the area, why not stay here instead of a hotel or motel.  

Our cottage has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.  The master bedroom has a king size bed and the other two rooms have full size beds.  The living room has a futon sofa giving it the ability to sleep 8 people.  The living room has a 25" television with a DVD player and the master bed room has a 19" television.  Both are hooked up to cablevision.

The kitchen is complete with dishwasher, stove, refrigerator with ice maker, toaster oven, toaster, coffee maker, and microwave as well as cooking utensils, pots and pans, plates, glasses, and eating utensils.   If you prefer to grill outside we also have a gas grill with side burner that you may use.

We are a family friendly establishment and can cater for families with young children by providing a highchair or travel cot upon request.

It backs up to a canal that leads to the Intracoastal Waterway.  You may tie your boat up to the dock on our property or you may rent our boat.  Come cruise the waterways - see the manatees, dolphins and pelicans or boat over to a local waterfront restaurant.
You could also go shrimping or fishing. The area is well known for red fishing and great shrimp.
This is a very sheltered area with very little tidal fluctuation.  There is a public boat ramp at Riverbreeze Park a short distance away.  You can cruise the intracoastal waterway, fish the Mosquito Lagoon, or head out into the Atlantic Ocean through Ponce inlet.

If you want to spend time at the beach, New Smyrna Beach is about 10 miles north of here.  It is a very nice beach that not many tourists know about.  It is the "local" beach that many people from Orlando frequent.

If you want more of the touristy flair, World Famous Daytona Beach is just north of New Smyrna Beach. 

Of course Daytona Beach is also home to the infamous Daytona 500, the related speed weeks, and bike week.

We are also just North of Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center.  You can take a tour of the Space Center and see where Man launched to see the moon and the Space Shuttles.  You will have a wonderful view of a launch if you are lucky enough to be here during a launch.  Check out the pictures of a Space Shuttle launch viewed from Mosquito Lagoon on the photo gallery page.

And we can't forget what Central Florida is famous for, our theme parks.  Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World are all only 65 minutes away.

This is a non-smoking home.

If you are looking for a vacation home, cabin, cottage or lodging in Oak Hill, Volusia county, Florida near Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Titusville, Cocoa Beach, and Orlando for bike week, Daytona 500, or any other time of the year that has a Boat Dock and Boat Rental, with access to the intracoastal waterway, Mosquito Lagoon, and Atlantic Ocean, this is the place for you!
