About this property

DIRECT OCEAN FRONT HOME SLEEPS 14- HUGE OCEANFRONT PATIO NEAR FLAGLER AVE!

The WHALE home is an oceanfront, premium property, with a spectacular view of the water from all East-facing windows. It is an ideal location, just a half of a mile walk along the beach to the town’s well renowned ‘Flagler Avenue’. Flagler Ave is the most lively and popular strip of retailers and restaurants in NSB, where vacationers can shop and dine, grab a cocktail or even rent some beach bikes and continue to explore all the wonders New Smyrna Beach has to offer!

The layout of this three-story home consists of 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, ideal for a large party, big family or friend gathering. The ground level has its own studio apartment style layout. This includes a quaint dining area, king sized bed and TV and a full bathroom which includes a jetted spa tub and shower in addition to the standard toilet and sink. There is also a washer and dryer on the ground floor inside the garage (though the garage is unavailable for parking, the washer/dryer are accessible). Outside there is plenty of patio seating on the deck and from there you can step right onto the beach!

Up the stairs, the second floor is considered the primary social area. The main living space is located on this level, which features an open-floor plan that includes the living, kitchen and dining room. The wide-open space enables those cooking to interact freely with other members of the party without the confinement of walls. The floor to ceiling windows on this level span the entire East-side of the house, where guests can enjoy watching the ocean waves and wildlife from the comfort of the large curved couch. These grand windows are fully operable and can be opened to enjoy a natural ocean breeze if desired during the cooler months, earlier mornings or late evenings. During the warmer summer days, retreat from the sun and take advantage of cool air conditioning while enjoying a meal here or watching TV on the large flat screen with an incredible view that enables you to simultaneously search the blue horizon for indigenous pelicans and dolphins. You might even get lucky and spot the more elusive manatee, shark, or even a whale!

The second floor also has two very large bedrooms and can sleep up to 8 guests on this level alone! One of the bedrooms features two full beds and the other has two queens. Both of these bedrooms have their own TV sets with cable, and the Wi-Fi extends into these rooms as well. The final feature of this level is the single full-sized bathroom that includes a tub shower, sink and toilet.

Last but most certainly not least, the third floor consists of two bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of these bedrooms is the master suite, which has one king bed, Flat screen TV with cable and Wi-Fi, a seating area, a treadmill, a full bath that includes a jetted tub separate from the shower, and finally a small balcony overlooking the great Atlantic Ocean. The additional bedroom on the third floor has its own separate bathroom that contains a tub, toilet and sink. This final bedroom has one queen bed.

The spacious interior design in addition to a large beachfront deck makes this vacation rental the ideal choice for large parties and social gatherings. Step straight off the patio out onto the sandy beach and go for a scenic walk or take a dip in the sea. Location is key; not only is this home ocean front, but it’s also just a short and beautiful half-mile walk to the town’s center Flagler Avenue! After a long day of fun activities out on the beach right out back, guests can retreat to the comfort of the interior of this three-story home and still enjoy the impeccable view. There will be so much to enjoy during your beach getaway, making for an incredible experience. Please inquire for dates as this home can only rent 12 times per year.

The location and parking were great. It was close to shopping and restaurants. The house was adequately stocked with dishes and linens. There were a few areas of the house that could have been cleaner but overall it was acceptable. The whole family enjoyed our vacation in NSB.

Overall a great stay, highly recommend! There were a few hiccups (WiFi modem/router wasn’t working and we needed to have a new one mailed to the house; the owner was great about arranging everything for that!), she got back to us very quickly! A few maintenance needs, but nothing that significantly affected our stay. Great views from the ocean-facing windows!

Beautiful home for a large family. We had a lovely time here. As central FL locals who truly love New Smyrna Beach we wish the owners had window coverings for their ocean front windows for the turtles at night and in compliance with Volusia county law. “Turtle glass” filters some of the light and is a great first step, but alone is inadequate for compliance with law and inadequate to fully protect the endangered turtles who nest at night on the beach. This house is the brightest on the beach at night in this area; it’s disappointing. There are window coverings on the first floor, but no directions to use them starting at 9pm, so renters from out of town will not know. Perhaps cellular shades would not obstruct the stunning windows in daytime. Truly the view is unparalleled in the day!

We had a fantastic time at this property. The location on the beach and near Flagler Ave was the reason we were drawn to this home. We had a group of 10 and we were very comfortable. Any issues that arose were addressed by Natasja in a timely matter. We made memories here. Thanks.

Not the cleanest

The location was beautiful there IS a balcony in the Master Bedroom which they don't mention for some reason.....it wasn't the cleanest I found pills behind the nightstand in the Master Bedroom, dfood storage container in a nightstand drawer, they didn't clean the handrails going up either staircase at all, look in between cushions on couch.....disgusting the oven didn't work on main level the dryer didn't work both of which I was asked to get Cereal #'s and brands.....they were fixing them when we left.....there is a broken window in the main living space that has a sign on it......the property manager offered me some money back on the cleaning then didn't follow through, when I asked her about it there was no response! This was very unprofessional of her as I didn't ask for any money back it was offered with no follow through! I have pictures of all of these things..they have ridiculous check out policies like strip all 7 beds and start laundry and you can only leave 3 loads 😳 but be out by 10 AM it also states that you will be charged if there are streaks on the windows and they want you to turn the air up to 78 when you leave which makes it unbearable for the next guest especially on the 3rd floor! The furniture in the bigger bedroom on the main level is cheap as the slats came off while my 110 lb daughter was asleep in the bed it scared her to death! Also got ate up by sand fleas or no see-um bugs sadly for that reason alone we will not return to New Smyrna Beach! The Master Bedroom needs updated but other than that it's a beautiful view and a nice home

Great location but needs some care

This home was attractive with comfortable beds and good-sized rooms. The location is great, very close to the sand. My family of 13 with three generations stayed for a week. While images are representative, they don't tell the entire story; this home is roomy but really needs basic maintenance and care. It very much looks like a rental property with a minimal amount of money invested in upkeep. There are two flights of stairs in the property, which can be difficult for those of limited mobility, but there are also several random steps around that cause tripping - some are a few inches tall and some are regular step height. We had a few in our party fall and several almost fall; because the floor is all the same color with no contrast on the steps, it is difficult to distinguish a single step in various areas. We put brightly colored removable painter's tape on the steps all over the house that really helped to see where the edges were. The furniture in most of the rooms is minimal quality and doesn't always fit what you might want to store in it, and there are not many hangers in the few closets available (the primary "wardrobe" only had 4 plastic hangers, which we supplemented with a package we bought). The only shade on the patio is a table umbrella and a portable canopy with one leg broken. Our family had a great time there, but I wouldn't rent this property again. If a little money was invested to spruce up the property it would be much more comfortable and inviting.

Family vacation

Our group included kids, grandkids and significant others. The house is ideally located close enough to Flagler to walk to restaurants and attractions but just far enough away from the z a heavier beach crowds that gather near Flagler Ave. The home is comfortable and has plenty of space to spread out. The beach is just a few steps off the porch. The porch was great for hanging out with the family enjoying the sea breeze and listening ocean surf. We look forward to coming back.
