The Real McCoy: Historical Charm w/Pool, Views

The Real McCoy is more than just a place to stay—it’s a slice of history with a side of luxury. Once owned by the legendary William “Bill” McCoy, famously known as the “King of Rum Row,” this historical landmark offers a one-of-a-kind getaway. With 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and plenty of space to sleep up to 15 guests, it’s perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to unwind by the water. Whether you're sipping coffee on the wraparound deck or cooling off in the solar-heated pool, this pet-friendly home invites everyone—furry friends included—to make memories.

Inside, you’ll find a thoughtful mix of modern touches and cozy charm. The bright and airy living room, complete with stylish decor and comfy furniture, creates a relaxing spot to hang out. If you're in the mood for fun, there’s a game room ready to spark a little friendly competition with its pool table and arcade game. The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a breeze, with stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space, and all the tools you need. Gather around the dining table for a shared meal, or make use of the coffee bar to kickstart your mornings. And with six spacious bedrooms, including a bunk room and rooms with queen and king beds, everyone will have a comfortable place to rest.

Outdoors, this home really shines. The upper-level wraparound deck offers sweeping views of the intercoastal waterway, perfect for relaxing in the hammock swing or catching the sunset with a drink in hand. The backyard is set up for all kinds of fun, featuring a large, solar-heated pool and an inviting fire pit area for evening chats under the stars. Love to grill? The outdoor barbecue is at your service. Just across the street, Holly Hill Park adds to the adventure with a boat ramp, kayak launch, and scenic walking paths. You’re always just steps away from an afternoon on the water or a peaceful nature walk.

And of course, you can’t stay at The Real McCoy without experiencing the magic of Daytona Beach. Known for its lively boardwalk, world-famous beaches, and the Daytona International Speedway, there’s no shortage of excitement here. Spend your day lounging on the sandy shores, exploring local restaurants, or renting a boat for a cruise down the Intracoastal Waterway. Whether you're here for sun, history, or a little bit of both, Daytona Beach offers the perfect backdrop for your stay at The Real McCoy.
