About this property
Ocean + River Views - Pool & Pickleball - 2BR Daytona Beach Shores Escape
## Summary
Top-floor unit, quiet location, and a view guests keep raving about — location really is everything here. We're local, hands-on owners who treat your stay like the vacation it should be. Expect a check-in or two during your visit just to make sure everything's going smoothly and you have what you need — beyond that, the privacy and the view are all yours.
Small dogs under 20 lbs are welcome, and two free parking spots are included. Being on the top floor means front-row seats to sunrise over the Atlantic each morning and a golden sunset over the Halifax River each evening — perfect for an evening drink on the balcony (you might even make a few new friends). There's no shortage of things to see and do in beautiful Daytona Beach Shores and the surrounding area, including Ponce Inlet and Port Orange. Come enjoy our beautiful condo — we promise you won't be sorry.
This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo comfortably sleeps up to five: a California king bed in the master, a bunk bed with a queen-size lower bunk in the guest room, and a sofa bed in the living room. Both bathrooms include a shower and hair dryer. You'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, including air conditioning, WiFi, cable TV, a dehumidifier, an iron and ironing board, and beach and pool toys plus a beach wagon to make trips to the sand effortless. Experience the magic of Daytona Beach at our delightful condo, managed by Ball Park Francks, LLC.
## The Space
This condo has a style all its own — fully furnished, freshly stocked, and thoughtfully laid out to comfortably sleep a family of five. Located directly across the street from the World-Famous Daytona Beach and just a short walk from the Halifax River, it's a true hidden gem.
**Please note:** this condo requires a minimum 5-night stay.
We're new owners who've recently refreshed the condo with new decor and new TVs throughout — an 85" TV in the living room, a 50" TV in the master bedroom, and a 42" TV in the guest room.
**Please note:** this building was constructed prior to the Americans with Disabilities Act. There are no ramps, and guests will need to climb a flight of stairs to reach the lobby.
This spacious, fully remodeled condo offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a full kitchen. The quiet complex includes a gazebo, tennis and pickleball courts, and a shuffleboard court, so there's plenty to enjoy without ever leaving the property. Watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean from the east-facing balcony, then catch the sunset over the Halifax River from the west balcony — two incredible views, one condo.
## The Neighborhood
Florida's most famous beach town is steeped in auto-racing history and lore, but a vacation in Daytona Beach offers far more than world-class beaches and the need for speed. Slow down for cultural attractions, lively riverside neighborhoods, pedestrian-friendly promenades, and a festival calendar that runs year-round.
Daytona Beach is known for a handful of unique attractions and claims to fame:
- **Motorsports history** — Known as the "Birthplace of NASCAR," Daytona Beach has deep ties to auto racing. Early races were held on its hard-packed sand, and today the iconic Daytona International Speedway hosts the annual Daytona 500, the premier event in stock car racing. - **The "World's Most Famous Beach"** — Daytona Beach earned this nickname for its 23 miles of wide, hard-packed sandy shore, where visitors can still drive in designated areas. - **Jackie Robinson's legacy** — Daytona Beach was the site of Jackie Robinson's first integrated professional baseball game in 1946, an important moment in both sports and civil rights history. - **Bike Week and Biketoberfest** — The city hosts Daytona Bike Week, one of the world's largest motorcycle rallies, drawing hundreds of thousands of riders each year, along with the popular fall event, Biketoberfest. - **Outdoor activities** — Surfing, parasailing, paddleboarding, and fishing are all close at hand, along with scenic views along the Halifax River. - **Family-friendly attractions** — The Daytona Beach Pier and Boardwalk offers arcades, restaurants, and rides, and nearby Daytona Lagoon Waterpark adds even more fun. - **Arts and culture** — Cultural landmarks include the Museum of Arts & Sciences (MOAS) and the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art, home to the world's largest collection of Florida art.
Daytona Beach uniquely blends history, adventure, and relaxation, making it a favorite for travelers of every age. You're steps from the sand and minutes from your next Daytona Beach adventure.
### Getting Around
There's plenty to do near 3800 S Atlantic Blvd, both on foot and just a short drive away.
**Walking distance:**
- **Daytona Beach** — right at your doorstep. Relax on the sand, swim in the Atlantic, or take a walk along the shoreline — a great spot for beach volleyball, surfing, and other water sports. - **Beachfront Boardwalk and Pier** — a short walk north, with arcades, food stands, attractions, and ocean views from the pier itself, a favorite fishing spot. - **Sun Splash Park** — a few minutes south, with easy beach access, picnic areas, and a small playground for families. - **Daytona Beach Bandshell** — about 2 miles away, this historic outdoor amphitheater often hosts free live music, especially in the evenings. - **Ponce Inlet Lighthouse & Museum** — about a 15-minute walk (or a quick drive) south, with spectacular coastline views for history lovers.
**Short drive (5–15 minutes):**
- **Daytona International Speedway** — a must for motorsports fans, home of the Daytona 500, with guided tours and events year-round. - **Main Street Pier** — rides, shops, and restaurants, plus a great spot for a sunset stroll. - **Angell & Phelps Chocolate Factory** — about 10 minutes away; take a free tour and sample handmade chocolates at this local institution. - **Museum of Arts & Sciences (MOAS)** — about a 10-minute drive, with art exhibits, a planetarium, a children's museum, and science displays. - **Tanger Outlets Daytona Beach** — a short drive north for shopping at brand-name stores. - **Jackie Robinson Ballpark** — just minutes away; catch a Daytona Tortugas game at this historic ballpark, named for the player who broke barriers here in the 1940s. - **Ormond Beach** — about a 10-minute drive north, a quieter beach great for picnicking, fishing, and exploring nature.
**Dining & nightlife:**
- **Crabby's Oceanside** — seafood and oceanfront dining, just minutes down the beach. - **The Roof at the Hard Rock Hotel** — a short drive away, with stunning views and craft cocktails. - **Ocean Deck Restaurant & Beach Club** — beachfront dining, live music, and great seafood, about 5 minutes away. - **Daytona Beach Pier Restaurant** — right on the pier, with ocean views and fresh seafood. - **The Cellar Restaurant** — fine Italian dining, a short drive south.
**Nature & outdoor activities:**
- **Tomoka State Park** — a 15-minute drive north for hiking, kayaking, and wildlife watching. - **Marine Science Center** — a family-friendly stop about 15 minutes south, with hands-on exhibits and sea turtle rehabilitation. - **Daytona Beach Eco Tours** — guided kayak or paddleboard tours through the local waterways and wildlife.
There's something for everyone here — whether you're drawn to nature, history, or simply relaxing by the beach.

Our stay at Ball Park Francks was wonderful. From the time the owner introduced himself weeks before our arrival to our commute home, he was nothing but kind and made sure every aspect was perfect. The weather forecast was mostly rain before we got there and he went out and bought new game boards for our kids. The place is stocked with everything you could possibly need. I would absolutely stay again.

That personal touch was a great way to start our vacation. The condo is very nice, and recently remodeled. The view to the beach and ocean was outstanding from that 7th floor condo.

Because as the airlines say....we know you have many choices out there and we hope you will choose Ball Park Francks Condo!!!
Location was right across the street from entrance to the beach. The view from windows was amazing. John welcomed us day one and accommodated us the entire trip. We mistakenly locked ourselves out and John arrived within 20 minutes to let us in at 11:00 at night. Great host.
The condo is fantastic. The location is great and top notch on the cleanliness. I want to mention how clean the condo is first because this is a top priority for me. The sheets, towels and overall appearance is impressive. The owners have gone above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. We brought our own beach supplies, but if you were arriving by plane and didn't have them, Ball Park Franks has what you need. From the start, the communication with the owners was 5 . You are steps away from the beach. There's is even a crosswalk and light directly to the left of the place, so you can easily cross the street. When we arrived, we went grocery shopping at Publix, which is only a few minutes away. So convenient. In addition, the owner provided dish soap, hand soap, garbage bags, and even board games. There are TVs in all the rooms and the TV in the living room is a bonus. I would stay here again.
Ein traumhaftes Appartement. Ein sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Bei Fragen wird umgehend geantwortet.
