プライベート - ダイレクトオーシャンフロント - ビーチハウス

Hi future guests! We are Jan Walker and Larry Ratchford. Larry has been a commercial lender for many years and Jan is both an “Angel” investor and a long-time Real Estate Broker with Premier Sotheby's International Realty in Winter Park. 407.718.9644 Larry and Jan are newlyweds! Having both lost their spouses to long-term illness, they found each other, fell in love, married and have been having the time of their lives ever since.
Jan has always loved New Smyrna Beach for its small-town feel, its quaintness and friendliness and Larry now loves it too. When Jan bought the “duplex style” Beach House in 1997, it was a longtime dream come true. Since then it has been remodeled several times. The beach here seems to just draw you to it. The colors and sounds of the sand and ocean are both impressive and calming. We keep the downstairs apartment for ourselves and our family, but we are rarely there when we have guests upstairs... We rent out the upper full level as it has the most wonderful views. It is not a glamorous or overly fancy house, but nicely decorated and (we think) quite special. We hope you will treasure it, relax and enjoy yourselves while making great new memories at this wonderful beach.

When Jan was a teenager she used to come over to New Smyrna Beach with her family and friends for a day or afternoon of sun and playing in the waves. She fell in love with the beach. That love soon turned into a dream, a dream of owning a small bungalow on the beach. Many years later while walking on the beach with a friend (who knew of her dream), she said "Jan, I think I have found your beach house". She was right... and we were lucky enough to have purchased it in a down market. It was literally a mess inside but structurally sound. We worked hard to remodel it right off, as much as our pockets permitted, but through the last few years continued to do upgrades to the house and the decor.

Simply said... Both Jan and Larry love being there! We hope you will too.

Just the view from the kitchen and the great room, of the sand and the ocean with the rolling waves will bring down anyone's blood pressure. Relax with quiet and privacy. It is wonderful to walk and/or bike on the beautiful beach as well as fishing! Darn good and varied restaurants in town, just blocks away or cook and stay in. Sometimes we take a few comfortable beach chairs down to the sand with veggies, crackers, cheese and a good bottle of Merlot (don't tell the beach patrol) - it makes a wonderful dinner....! New Smyrna is a cozy coastal town that has great restaurants and friendly folks. There is lots to do - when you want, but nothing to do when you don't!
Our 2 bedroom / 2 bath is fully stocked with everything (except fresh food) for your use including the kitchen, baths and laundry room. While we are rarely there in our downstairs apartment when we have guests, if you have a challenge with anything at our home, we are only a phone call away to have a repairman come and correct it.
