We looked at condos in New Smyrna Beach and Daytona Beach Shores. All the condos that said beach front and ocean view had peek a boo views if you stood up and twisted your neck over the railing. Not what we wanted! And so many condo buildings were huge developments. Then we found this condo, on the 7th floor which was the top floor of the building. As soon as the front door opened, we could see the ocean out the windows, just what we wanted. And an Eastern view-amazing sunrises!!! Then we saw it was totally an unobstructed view, no buildings in front of us, just miles and miles of beach view, ocean view, sunrise, and the sound of the waves. Additionally, at the front deck on the West, you can see the inter coastal and enjoy sunset. It was perfect in regard to the view and the direct ocean and beach front. You can change the condo but you cannot change the view! So we bought it and went to work in emptying out everything that was in there and renovating it so it was modern, fresh, cheery, bright, inviting, and all new. It is fabulous and we are so happy with how welcoming it is. You will not want to leave once you set foot inside, put your bags down and sit out on the deck. Go for a swim in the heated pool and if you have little ones, there is a children's pool. The property is huge with lovely grass surrounding the pool and you can bring your own BBQ down and BBQ by the pool and eat out at the beach if you like. We loved the shared community room which has wifi and tables for relaxing at and looking out at the pool and beach. There is no better close up and personal oceanfront property to be found. And you do not want to be on the 25th floor of another building where you cannot directly see or hear the ocean. You can see it all from our penthouse 7th floor condo. Come and relax. You will be as comfortable as we like to be at the beach. All you need is your clothes and personal supplies, we provide everything else. Oh, and a nice bottle of wine.
