New Smyrna Beach is in Volusia County. We are a quiet working class beach town so not a haven for younger party people. We are Disney World's designated beach town for families and snowbirds alike.
If you are looking for a relaxing lay back area with pristine car free beaches and quaint village atmosphere, you will enjoy this beach town. My guests normally return and tell me how much they enjoyed New Smyrna Beach. We have two downtowns, one on the island and one on the mainland with two bridges, so you can do the loop. Great walking areas with restaurants and shops.
New Smyrna Beach beaches are open and ready for my guest. The resort is located in the preferred non-driving beach zone so no cars are allowed on the beach. I cater to families in the summer. We have a lifeguard at the ocean front park next door for safety. I also have life jackets for children in a variety of sizes if they are not use to ocean swimming. The ocean front park next door has an amazing state of the art playground. Also basketball and handball courts, restrooms, outdoor showers and picnic tables for private family parties.
I provide beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach toys, boogie boards, noodles from the olym[ic size pool, and beach towels for my younger guests. I also have a pack N play and high chair for my younger guests. Families welcome.
The weather here is perfect spring and fall with temperatures in high 70's and 80's without the summer humidity.. Our beaches are beautifully blue and inviting.
New Smyrna Beach is located on the Atlantic side of Florida and I am happy to advise our beach and Inter-Coastal waterways are CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN for your enjoyment.

Unique Benefits
I love that my condo is located in the car free beach area for family fun and safety on the beach, My snowbirds also appreciate walking on a car free beach. I like that the resort is in a more quiet part of the island rather than the busy tourist area. I like that the majority of restaurants on the island and mainland are privately owned rather than chains. My guests also enjoy the ocean front park next door. It has covered picnic tables for family parties, plus basket ball and hand ball courts and a state of the art playground for children.
I like the security gates that keep trespassers out of our courtyard and pool area.
The Olympic size pool is heated in the winter. There is also a kiddie pool.
Why Kids Love It
My families with kids especially love the park next door with lifeguard, car free beach, basketball and handball courts, plus a play ground and picnic tables. The park also has outdoor showers to rinse off sand and salt. There are also bathrooms. My condo has a pack N play and highchair for toddlers. I also have toys for children inside the condo and also for the beach, life jackets, bogie boards for surfing, folding camp chairs and beach umbrella, coolers and beach bags. Everything you need for a great family beach vacation.
Area Information
You are on an island with two bridges. So you can do the loop. Flagler avenue is on the beach side and great for shopping and ocean front restaurants. Canal Street is on the mainland over the bridge with lots of fun restaurants, shopping, and more local area. New Smyrna Beach is a haven for artists and their work is in many stores.
NOTICE: We have owned and managed our condos for over 25 years. We have never had a guest bitten by a fish or shark in our area of the beach. NEVER!.
Experts explain why there are so many shark bites in Volusia county. While Volusia is a popular beach destination, there are specific environmental factors that contribute to the many shark bites. And it turns out that the Ponce Inlet outflow brings in a lot of nutrients. The surf break attracts many surfers to a part of the ocean rich in nutrients that also attract many fish species such as mullets and menhadens. Their shark predators follow. Because the surf is very turbid the sharks can't see well plus 50 or 60 arms and legs dangeling off surf boards its only a matter of time the blacktips mistake a foot or hand for a fish. So the majority of shark bites are only at the inlet.
Here are just a few precautions beach goers can take to avoid shark bites. (1) Don't wear shiny jewelry because it catches the light like scales on fish. (2) You should not go in the water if you see lots of bait fish swimming around, especially if they are jumping around because that means something might be chasing them. (3) Don't swim alone which makes you an easier target. (4) Don't go swimming at dawn or dusk. (5) Don't go swimming where fishermen are fishing. (6) Swim near a lifeguard.
Attractions Within Walking Distance
Restaurants, shopping, ocean and Inter-coastal river for fishing or kayaking, boat tours.
Favorite Places To Eat
JB's Fish Camp is on the south end of the island. It's very popular with families.
Chases on the Beach is on the ocean just a few blocks north of the condo. Great food indoors, and outside they have a pool and pool bar.
River View Grille is my favorite place for date night. It's an outdoor/indoor on the river by the draw bridge on Flagler Avenue. Watch the boats go by, see dolphins leeping in the water, and also enjoy a spectacular sun set.
I have a guest book in the condo with a list of my favorite restaurants so read up. So many to choose from.

Why this property? We bought this property for many good reasons.

Wonderful
This condo was perfect! It was clean, beautiful decor, and great ocean view. It literally had everything you need for the beach, so we didn't have to worry about bringing anything but a cooler. There were several beach chairs, umbrellas, a canopy, beach toys, basketball, volleyball, noodles for the pool, kid's vests for swimming, and inside toys as well. Mrs. Marilyn was so kind and attentive do anything we needed. It was a great price, great location on the no-drive part of the beach, and close to lots of great restaurants. When we come back we plan on staying here over and over again.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We’re getting older but we still enjoy our little vacation rental business so much we plan to be around for several more years so please look at us again and will take good care of your needs. Thanks again for your lovely review. How do I
Clean Quiet Comfy
Ed welcomed us to the condo, showed us how it worked. From then on Marilyn and Ed where only a call away. The set up was very nice and clean, what with all the goings on in 2020, this was very nice. The pool was empty the whole time we were there, the only time the beach was busy was when the tide was in. Used the information booklet to find local eateries and stores close by. Stayed away from Flagler St. and had the whole place to ourselves. We will look forward to returning in the future too.

After Labor Day in September it’s a great time to visit. The crowds are gone and it’s much easier to get around and shop, and enjoy our wonderful restaurants. The beach and pool await them and the weather is still perfect.I offer four night minimum in the fall with discounted rates So they can enjoy a long weekend. The locals like that!My guest book quickly gets guests up to speed if it’s their first visit. They usually return for a longer stay once they discover NSB Charm and night life.
Annual trip
The location, view and amenities are perfect! This condo was recently updated with all new appliances. The tv in the living room is huge. The beds are comfy like resting on a cloud. Most 2br rentals have twins but this one has full size beds to accommodate your guests/children. You also cannot beat the price. I am ready for August 2021! Not to mention that the Bibbee’s are wonderful people. Only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is due to the low water pressure in the bathrooms.
Stayed: August 2020 Submitted: September 23, 2020
Owner response
This guest has returned to my condo for a third time. I was never contacted about low water pressure in the bathrooms. If I had been contacted I would have fixed it. We are only 20 minutes away from the property. Normally low water pressure is due to clogged shower heads or faucets and a quick and easy fix to correct. There have been other guests in the condo since this guest checked out and I'll be sure to ask them if they have a similar problem. We can't fix what we don't know about.
Girls Getaway
Spent a week at Point East Condominium #312The Bibbee’s Were very nice to deal with and we had everything that we needed. The beach was wonderful as were the restaurants. Our two favorites were, The Garlic and Norwoods . We would love to come back again.

The Garlic and Norwood’s are very upscale. They are They are right near each other for a little bar hop. The beauty of all the restaurants on the island are they are privately owned instead of chain restaurants. That’s what makes them so unique and they go out of their way to accommodate their customers. You must come back because we have many more restaurants to try. I have three condos to choose from so you can rent a different one the next time to check it out. Thanks so much for your five star review and I really appreciate your business. Hurry back.
Five Stars all the Way!
We stayed at this condo for the month of October, 2019 (our second visit, stayed for a month last year too). It is a great condo, there's everything you could wish for, it's a real "home from home". Marilyn and Ed are super to work with and not intrusive at all but available if you need them. There are restaurants you can walk to, and a small shopping centre within walking distance but the main attraction is the ocean. Views from the balcony are spectacular - what a place for morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail! We highly recommend this unit (although the owners have two other units if this one is booked). It's so great, we've already reserved for next year. Don't hesitate to book, you'll be very happy. Although we're two seniors, this condo is very child-friendly with tons of beach toys, etc.

After Labor Day I offer big discounts and usually receive booking for longer term. Canadians and northern folks love this time of year. The summer crowds are gone and guests can really relax. It seems to become a tradition for them and they automatically roll their deposits over to new dates. I’m very fortunate to have them. I make sure my kitchen is well-stocked so they can prepare meals whenever they want. Nobody wants to eat out all the time. But I restaurants are great here and the weather is perfect here around so think about a fall vacation.

This is a beautiful condo, right on the beach & very economical. The owner is very nice & acomadating. Can't wait to return.

So good to have another happy guest. The weather has been great and fall in the 80's with no humidity is a very comfortable season filled with plenty of sunshine most every day. Going into our dry season so not much rain. Tourist love spending Thanksgiving and Christmas in Florida. You can be outside and enjoy all the activities. And I always discount for fall to help with the cost of a late vacation.
This is our home base in New Smyrna
We've vacationed from East coast, central, & West coast and have found our spot. Marilyn's properties at Pointe East are what we've been looking. Great location, no cars on the beach, and easy walk to a fun place eat and drink at Chase's. The building has been under extensive renovations that have now been completed. Great views of the ocean too. Dealing with the owners rather than a rental agents is great. We tried a different place last year and are coming back "home" to 312 this year.

We are fortunate to have many returning and referral guests. My husband and I personally manage our properties, and our very "hands on" approach pays off in satisfied customers. We treat them like "friends and family" and are only 20 minutes away if they should need something during their stay. We have excellent cleaning staff that maintain our condos and we always keep up with maintenance issues. We appreciate our business success and genuinely enjoy our guests.

This resort has just completed a major two year exterior renovation and is Ready for returning guests. Everything looks fresh and clean. We also did some interior improvements inside our condo. We own three condos at this same resort just a few doors from each other on the top third floor near the elevator. We have many returning and referral guests and do our best to treat them like family. It’s a fun business for us and families are our specialty.
