Pier 44 Marina is located just five miles west of beautiful downtown DeLand. Nestled amongst beautiful large oaks, this historic town is home to Stetson University, the oldest private college in Florida. It is the first community to receive the "Mainstreet" designation and has been voted "Best Mainstreet in Florida" from 1999 to 2003.  DeLand's quaint mix of antique shops, restaurants and boutiques will leave you charmed and longing to come back.  Visit www.mainstreetdeland.com    for upcoming community events.
