Getting there and back.
From the villas, turn south on A1A and pick up I-95 southbound at the Palm Coast Parkway or SR-100 interchange. It is a straight 35-mile run to Exit 261, International Speedway Boulevard — about forty-five minutes on a normal day.
On race day it is not a normal day. Leave two to three hours before the green flag for a Cup race, and expect a slow crawl out afterwards. Many of our guests take A1A home down the coast through Ormond Beach instead of sitting on the interstate — longer on paper, often quicker in practice, and a far better drive.
Why stay up here
- Rates in Daytona multiply during Speedweeks and Bike Week; ours move far less.
- Free parking at your room door — no resort garage, no shuttle.
- A fridge and microwave, which matter when everything near the track has a two-hour wait.
- A beach and a state park that are not hosting the event.
Race weekends book out early here too. Call the front desk on (386) 445-3525 as soon as the schedule lands.
