My parents purchased a neighboring townhouse in Seaside Villas, and when this came available we bought this one too! Our family is spread out across Florida, and since I'm the closest, I manage the rentals in both units. We wanted this place to be comfortable for when we stay, so you will find comfortable beds, new linens, cable TV, beach supplies, a propane grill, books and games, and a stocked kitchen. We love it because it's a 3 minute walk to toes-in-the-sand! The restaurants in NSB are great, too!

I'm humanities professor at a state college. I live in Seminole County, just 45 minutes from New Smyrna Beach. My husband and I have two teenage sons. We've been vacationing in New Smyrna Beach for the past ten years, so we are thrilled to finally have a place of our own to escape to! Years of staying in beach rental homes has given me some insight into what is needed for a great beach week (or month). We added extra outlets and USB ports for charging everyone's phones, plenty of durable plates, cups and covered wine cups to take outside, beach gear and sports equipment, Roku sticks on every TV, games for the family, books for all ages, and extra outside seating.

In addition to my full-time job at the college and my part-time job managing Happy Hours NSB, I work seasonally as a tour guide in Boston, NYC and DC. I'm also a veteran study abroad leader. I love to travel and to organize travel for others, so becoming a vacation rental host is a natural fit.
