Well it’s closed due to COVID right now, but we did some exploring on foot around the exterior and it’s quite lovely and unique for its windows, obviously, but also the gardens and surrounding area.

This historic site is really neat. They host a variety of events including concerts and food festivals. The home itself can be toured and everything has been restored from John D. Rockefeller. Its right on the river and the view is amazing. If your visiting the area I would recommend a stop here and then a visit to the gardens across the street.

Best cultural center around. You can tour yourself or take the guided tour. There is awesome history here. It is really cool to go in the kitchen and see that it has been restored to what it originally looked like.

Disappointed; no access to 3rd floor; very little furniture decor; rooms were locked up (covid?).

John D Rockefellers home in Ormond Beach is fully restored. We learned so much about the Rockefeller family and the local history on the free one hour tour of the mansion. Mary was very personable and knowledgeable. It was well worth seeing!

A hidden gem. Neat history about John Rockefeller. Enjoyed it

Excellent people. Very helpful

Very interesting. A bit of history about John D. Rockefeller and Ormond Beach. Its free too. Some renovation in progress.

Went with a friend from the University of Idaho. This was very interesting to learn about how philanthropic John D. Rockefeller was. The people who worked there were very informative and friendly! It was a free tour that you could either have a guide or do self-guided. Pretty location by the river too.

Wow all decked out for Christmas

Excellent tour guide of a historic vacation home of John D. Rockefeller. Interesting info on an interesting life of a billionaire. From humble beginnings to a generous philanthropist, you see the softer side of Rockefeller as Neighbor John in Ormond Beach, Florida. Also, the tour and entrance to the home is free.

There is an amazing Boyscout exhibit in the very top floor. A wonderful experience.

Super nice place. .it was close and raining..have to come back

Beautiful building and grounds.. However, as a student of architecture, I was disappointed in the fact that they didnt stay true to the original building when it was refurbished... The living quarters were great, but the meeting rooms and the meeting hall were so white and modern and soooooo out of place..(really you hang fairy lights from the ceiling???)The grounds were immaculate and peaceful.. Aside from the guy who decided to light up a cig next to the pond..(please consider posting no smoking signs on the grounds.. Trying to enjoy the beauty of nature while someone blows nasty smoke around, then grinds the butts out and leaves it takes away from the ambiance)

A fascinating and beautiful place to visit. A lot of historical information and gives good insight to how things used to be!

Beautiful house and beautiful view. I learned a lot today. Must come before 3pm to catch the last tour.

Beautiful decorations for the holidays. Handicap friendly, house and gardens easy with wheelchair. Wonderful tour guide. History of Rockefeller and Florida.

Very good tour with the docent, easy to find and enjoyed the history of the home through the years. The Rockefeller and Flagler had many dealings both in business and relaxation! Nice location, wish I had their money!

A beautiful place to hold a smaller event. The location is picturesque and there are a lot of great photo ops. We were there for a wedding of about 50 people. The staff was super friendly, the bathrooms were spotless and the flow of the rooms worked well for the event.The photo was taken from the second floor of the dance floor.

An amazing place to relax, reflect, and gather your thoughts. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Excellent venue. We got married and had our reception there and everything went perfectly. Cost was reasonable and staff was very helpful.

A beautiful day to venture out with your children and your families and explore the grounds of this beautiful building

This place was neat to stop in and tour if you are a history lover. Im a fan of all the old pictures and stories you can find.

The grounds are beautiful! I was expecting more of the house. I thought it was going to be more of a museum, but it has more of a community room feel to it.

Great docent your and admission is free. Be sure to leave a donation. Great history of the times and the house.

Interesting facts. Nice old photos. Take the tour and learn a lot of history.

History lesson. Room by room phone tour.

Great time at the Movie in the Park and beautiful views too!

Worth the drive! Beautiful gardens, overlooking the waterfront, with sitting areas. Pet friendly.

Beautiful building and grounds. Christmas display was outstanding. Staff and auxillary helpful and pleasant

Very educational. Not exactly what I expected but I understand. I was expecting to see original or replicas of exactly how the house was when he lived there. Seeing pictures and trying to visualize how the rooms looked back then was a bit challenging with little ones. Understanding that the house is used for art class, meetings and events is the reason some rooms have been modified.

The city has done an excellent job with this property. Well worth a visit.

Had a lot of fun and learned some interesting history of the place. It was more than Rockefellers mansion it a girls school. The diary entry and letter from the girl who was there when US soldiers were starting in Florida was really great to see. She talked about how she went on dates with the soldiers and that looking back it upsets her to think some of them didnt come home

Christmas at the Casements, the one-time winter home of John D. Rockefeller, is always a treat. We try not to miss the annual House and tree lighting ceremony. This year, the 40th anniversary event, was free and seemed to attract a larger than usual crowd. Volunteers are the key to the Casements, and to the Christmas event, which doubles as a fundraiser. The crafts are always a bargain. The baked goods are outstanding. If you have not made the annual event a tradition, you should.

Beautiful place not much original though

There was a free, informative tour by a very nice docent.

Loaded with history. Currently decorated for the Holidays. Definitely recommend if you enjoy history.

Beautiful grounds. Perfect view of Halifax River. Great tour guide through Ormond history.

Nice historical home.

Beautiful place full of history.

Just by chance happened up on this place with a friend. Ken our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and his genuine interest in the history of this place and the Rockefeller family made me more interested in the history of it. Thank you Ken for the tour!

Great history of Ormond Beach past...

Only reason this is not 5 stars is because some areas were closed down because they were decorating for Christmas. The docent was excellent and the history very interesting.

Took the free tour. Interesting and educational.

Worth seeing where John D. Rockefeller stayed in the winter. We had a lovely tour guide and it was free though we left a donation. Free parking and easy to find.

A lovely place, once owned by John D. Rockefeller. Tours by docents who share information on his family and his life, with many interesting pictures of the house as it was in previous years. Fascinating facts about the richest man in the world. Lovely gift shop as well, and reasonable prices. Tour is donation only. They host all sorts of events during the year. We very much enjoyed it!

Cant believe we havent been here before! We had a great tour with Sue today. She was very informative about the house, grounds, and Rockefeller. Definitely make a trip here!

This was fun. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and therefore our tour went above and beyond (actually fifteen minutes extra!). Cute little gift shop. No tour cost, but donations accepted.

Very beautiful house and grounds. The guided tour is very informative and interesting and free. Donations to the guild are accepted and appreciated. Well worth your time and a nice American History lesson! Hopefully the City of Ormond Beach will continue the upkeep to this historic property!??

Very interesting, seems to be best in warmer weather and at Christmas time

The Casements is a wonderfully restored home, which was the last residence of John D. Rockefeller. Free tours are conducted by knowledgeable docents and the staff keeps this Ormond Beach treasure smoothly running. It is worth an hour of your time to visit the home and learn a little about the largest Titan of Industry.

Two docents took our group throughout the house and were very informative. They have done an excellent job of renovating the property. Good work!

Historic and unique must-see museum.

Florida Storytelling Troupe did a spooktacalar Job at Ghosts Stories at the Casement! Had a Fabulous Time

They always host great events! Family movies under the stars, grilling competitions, beer & wine walks, concerts, and the historical tour of the property.

Wonderful tour and great to hear all of the history.

Very interesting Our guide was very knowledgeable

A great historical place with Community Events, like Live Music.

Great escape

Beautiful & historical place! Love how its a hub for community events.

A lot of history here. Be sure to watch the video upstairs. Gardens are exquisite!

Very interesting insight to past and how rich and famous lived

Beautiful scenery . Great relaxing atmospher,

Nice place but bad choking energy in the house

Great tour guides, no charge for visit.

Nice place to visit and learn a bit.

Very Nice Check it out.....

Great history lesson. Never knew that JD Rockefeller lived here, and died here. The community now uses it, but it went through many stages after Rockefeller died.

Well my sister got married there,, great for smaller weddings! A little hard to get in and set up,, but the staff worked with is even with hurricane Dorian bearing down.

Very interesting place. Lots to learn about John D Rockefeller.

John D. Rockefeller lived here in the beautiful house with grand yard.The house has been preserved from when the Rockefellers lived there, and one can tour all the rooms. Its great.At Christmas time they decorate beautifully and attract an abundance of visitors and the time is magical.

Very interesting, enjoyed the tour.

Very imformative...alot of history.

A beautiful step back into history. Take some time to explore it.

Really interesting. Great tour!

Beautifully decorated for Christmas! The volunteers are helpful, well informed, and dedicated. Thank you all for your excellence and hard work in preserving this historical home.

We haven’t been yet. Google says the hours are 8-5, yet we got here at 9:15 and the “Summer Hours” are 1-3 PM. We will come back but thought this should be updated online.

Really cool historic site

Great volunteers vast history on display

Lovely building & helpful staff. Loved getting to learn about the history of the Ormond Beach area and of the influential people that helped it grow.

Leisurely place to stroll. Neat history information. Beautiful gardens you can just Relax in.

Always worth it even if its not your first time. This place you can visit more then once there is so much info and history. They even do a guided narrative tour also on certain days.

Lovely house with rich historical value. Overlooking the intercoastal. Worth a trip if youre in ormond and like to see historical sights. Staff was exceptionally courteous to us during our visit.

Does not live up to our expectationsBecause it is being used by the community as a meeting place there is very little to see with regards to Rockefeller which was a shame as we expected it to be educational.

Very informative.Pleased that it was free.

Enjoyed taking a tour with the family and seeing this piece of history.

5 star all the way! All the staff are friendly and helpful! Beautiful place to see, inside and out!

The tour was very informative. Very interesting history. The home was nicely restored.

Im glad this was free. House isnt really that interesting and the gardens werent anything special either. Made for a nice stop on a long drive, but that was about it.

They always have nice events at this beautiful historical muesuem. The house is beautifully decorated during the holidays The volunteers are friendly and inviting

Beautiful park by the river! Many attractions take place here, from music concerts to festivals ️

Neat place. Beautiful scenery & landscaping. Old history of the John J. Rockafeller family.

A historical house of J.D. Rockefeller now used by the city of Ormand Beach for community activities. About a one hour tour that covers a great deal of the houses history. Our guide was bit wordy at times, but this gives you a chance to look at the photos. Hard to imagine how they all lived back in the day. Spend an hour or so here to see how Rockefeller lived as compared to his friend, Flagler, in St. Augustine. The gardens behind the house are nice to walk especially if the weather cooperates. Also going during the week is the best way to avoid the crowd, Check out their web site for more info.

Great tour. Nice walk back inn history.

Nice relaxing evening listening to Steel vanity

Lovely place to tour, lots of history and its free.

It was a terrific look at archatrctual history. We had a wonderful afternoon, and we even saw the Eagle project on the 3rd floor!

Very interesting place with tons of history.

Not only have I been to this location to see local art shows and to admire the history and architecture of the building but I attend exercise class here three days a week. Its a wonderful community space both inside the building and in the adjoining park.

The Casements is a great way to learn some of the history of early 20th century Florida. There is an interesting intersection of great minds and the movers and shakers of the Industrial Age right here in what was once the little Beach community of Ormond.
