You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beautiful Remodeled Pool Home in the Heart of Downtown Delray Beach!

Ruth’s Cottage is located in the heart of historic downtown. This is where South Florida charm and tradition blends with the comforts of modern luxury. All of Delray is within your reach, but, you’ll find it’s difficult to leave the comforts of this home for long. This is the finest neighborhood in classic Delray Beach. Rich in both history and amenities, Ruth’s is the ultimate Delray experience.

Ruth’s is family-friendly. You’ll have access to games, pool toys, play pens and highchairs if needed. The washer and dryer in the laundry room are brand new – but the basketball hoop in the pool has seen many, many championship battles!

The uncommon pleasure of this secluded paradise is located in the middle of the simple chic that is Delray Beach. Buttoned down luxury is extended throughout an expansive floor plan. Our remodeled kitchen, family room and patio provide an opportunity to gather and enjoy this paradise together. And, the three bedrooms, living room and dining area provide seclusion and privacy as needed for quiet times during your stay. The jewel of the property is a heated, 20’x 30’ walk-in pool surrounded by a tropical garden.

This house is located North of Atlantic Avenue and East of Lake Ida with easy access to highways, attractions and downtown Delray Beach, a popular, award-winning beach town.

The main street in Delray Beach is Atlantic Avenue, and it spans all the way down to a pristine beach. The ‘Ave’ is popular for visitors and locals thanks to the many art galleries, upscale shops, fine restaurants and nightly entertainment. Seasonal events for the downtown area feature Delray Beach Fashion Week, Savor the Avenue, the Delray Affair and the annual 100-foot Christmas tree.

Delray Beach is located between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale Florida, and it’s the ideal destination for a vacation with your friends and family any time of year. It’s a pristine haven and one of the most popular beaches in Palm Beach County, Florida. Delray Beach is an intimate town filled with art galleries, upscale shops, fine restaurants and nightly entertainment.

It was named the Most Fun Small Town in the U.S.A. by Rand McNally, USA Today and the Travel Channel. Delray Beach offers the kind of culture and sophistication you wouldn’t expect to find in a funky, walkable beach town.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

We recently stayed at this beautifully updated home. The house was spotless. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The true highlight of the house was the awesome pool! The kids enjoyed swimming multiple times per day. The basketball hoop by the pool was a fan favorite. This was our first experience using VRBO and it didn’t disappoint.

This house and host was the best experience we have ever had with vrbo. The house is gorgeous with plenty of room and all the amenities you could imagine. When we first arrived at the house there was a storm the day before so the pool was pretty dirty. The owner had the cleaning service there the very next day, and said to call him with any other issues. This house is located in a beautiful area of Del Ray and one mile from downtown. We will definitely be returning!!!!
