About this property

Shores Club #206 Beachfront Condo, on No Drive Beach

Shores Club condo #206 will bring the breathtaking view of the ocean to you whether you are on the balcony (with a 180 degree view of the ocean) in the great room, or in the main bedroom. The fantastic ocean and beach view will greet you when you enter the condo. The Shores Club is located on a “no drive” part of famous Daytona Beach. If you bring small children with you, you don't need to worry about traffic while the kids play on the beach. The sound of the waves crashing is so relaxing it can lull you to sleep at night.

Our condo is located on the second floor of the building which makes it very convenient to get in and out easily by walking one flight of stairs on the side of the building instead of waiting for an elevator to take your beach or pool items in or out. The condo is located very close to the stairwell.

The balcony (which is accessible from both the living room and the main bedroom) is perfect for catching a view of the waves, dolphins, pelicans, space launches or just people watching. We saw North Atlantic Right whales (a mom and baby) playing in the ocean from the condo in January too! The living room has comfortable leather sofas and a recliner to watch the ocean and the beach, catch the game or a movie on the large HDTV with cable. The dining room can be used for eating meals or for playing games.

The kitchen counter top area has stools for you to watch the chef in the family create your meals. The kitchen comes fully furnished with everything you will need to make a meal or enjoy snacks and drinks. Granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, including dishes, pots and pans, a coffee maker, blender and toaster means you don't have to go out to eat if you are having too much fun at the pool or beach to leave the condo.

Big windows in the living room and the main bedroom bring in a lot of light so that you can enjoy viewing the beach while laying in bed deciding what to do for the day. The main suite has a king size bed and is spacious, bright and includes a dressing area with a large closet and four piece bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

The second bedroom includes two queen beds and a large closet to store all of your things. The second bedroom has access to a bathroom with a large shower. Each bedroom has its own flat screen TV.

Right outside your front door is your own private laundry room with washer and dryer. Beach chairs, umbrellas and sand castle toys are also in the laundry area are available for your use. Please don't forget to rinse off the beach toys and chairs at the pool deck before returning to the laundry area. This room can be used to store your own personal beach items while you visit.

The Shores Club has a heated outdoor pool, a club room, fitness room, sauna, basketball, pickelball and tennis court and shuffleboard. The basketball and tennis courts are located on the 2nd floor so you can look out your kitchen window to see when the courts are available for you to use. There are two grills available for you to use during your stay. See the Welcome to the Shores Club book located in the lobby for more things to do in the Daytona area. The Shores Club upgraded the access to the beach with a ramp. Unfortunately, the ramp was damaged in recent storms. We hope the repair will be completed soon.

Condo #206 has one indoor parking spot on the first level of the garage near the entrance. You can use the elevators or walk up the one flight of stairs on the side of the condo building to get in and out of the condo easily. We recommend parking inside the parking garage to avoid searching for a parking spot outdoors. Parking outdoors can be challenging when the building is fully occupied.

There are plenty of options for fun for the whole family while you are visiting Daytona Beach. Ponce de Leon Lighthouse is a few miles down the beach, along with deep sea fishing, manatee tours, hang gliding or just hanging out at Lighthouse Point Park where you will find bigger shells for your collection! You can ride a Segway on the beach while hearing about Daytona's history at either the main street pier or Ponce Lighthouse. At night, you can see the lighthouse light shining from your balcony!

The Main Street Pier is 6-1/2 miles up the beach and has games, rides, and restaurants. You can make it a night out at the Pier watching a pick up game of beach volleyball after dinner. Salt water taffy from Zeno's is a great treat to take home for others to enjoy.

There are plenty of shops to visit along South Atlantic Avenue to find gifts for family and friends. You have a number of options for mini golf and treats also. Go cart tracks are just over the Dunlawton bridge on South Nova Road. You will find it easy to have fun during your stay here. We hope you enjoy the beach as much as we do each time we visit.

Odor at the condo
We felt like there was an odor at the property, and the property owners sent someone from maintenance up to the condo. They also smelled the odor. We were hoping that the property owners would have an easy solution to the odor problem. When nothing happened, we told them about the odor again, and they sent another maintenance person to the room, who said that he did not smell the odor, and then he said , yes he smelled something that smelled like a drinking party? We do not drink, nor did we cook in the property the entire time we were there. The odor got worse every day that we were there, and the only way we could eliminate it was to open the front door and the sliding glass door and allow fresh air to circulate. However, when we would return from being out on the beach, or from eating dinner, the odor had returned with all the doors closed. We requested that the owners refund some of our rental fee due to the unpleasant odor that permeated the entire condo, our entire stay. The owners quit responding to our messages altogether. I told them that my wife had respiratory issues starting the second day we were there, and I felt it was due to something in the air at the condo. Amazingly when we returned home, her respiratory issues subsided. We were just concerned that there was an issue that the owners needed to address, and then, when it was not addressed, we requested a partial refund.

Why they chose this property

The Starfish Condo has been in our family for many years. We are happy to share the view and fun we have had at this beach over the years with you. Enjoy the slower pace of life and find shells on the beach to remember your stay.

If you like to fish, you will have plenty of options to choose from. You can fish off of Crabby Joe's pier which is 1/2 mile up the beach. You can surf fish from the beach, or you can do a charter boat at Ponce Inlet to go out into the ocean for a chance to catch bigger fish.

Manatee tours, hang gliding, paddle boarding, a walk up Ponce de Leon lighthouse are all just minutes away from you at the Shores Club. You can do a Segway tour of the Ponce de Leon Lighthouse area, or a tour of downtown Daytona Beach. Both options will show a different side of Daytona.

The Main Street Pier has a lot to keep the whole family busy. There are rides, restaurants, Daytona Lagoon water park and games at the Pier boardwalk. Main Street has shops, restaurants and famous Boot Hill Saloon for the adults in the family.

What makes this property unique

Why not have a combination vacation with a stay at the beach and drive to Orlando for some amusement park fun as well. Orlando is a little more than an hour away from Daytona Beach.

May 1st through October 31st is Turtle Season in Daytona. These magnificent animals emerge from the surf at night to lay their eggs in nests dug into the dry sand, then return to the sea. Two months later about a hundred baby turtles (hatchlings) emerge from each of these nests and crawl to the ocean. You wlll see nests marked off near the dunes during this season. It is recommended that you do not shine lights on the beach during turtle season.

We watched a SpaceX launch taking off from Cape Canaveral from the comfort of our balcony. This was a very unique experience that we won't soon forget. Check the www.spacecoastlaunches.com site to see when the next launch will take place. It is definitely worth staying up late to see it.

You can ride a Segway Tour on Daytona Beach and downtown Daytona or do a Lighthouse Segway tour to see and hear about Daytona history. We hope you enjoy this location the way we do.
