Great Location, clean & comfortable with lots of attention to detail

The property was as described. Candy, our host, was on hand to provide an orientation tour at check in and was readily available throughout our stay. While there is no true kitchen, there is a gas grill, a hot plate, an electric skillet, a toaster oven, & a microwave for meal prep.There is a full-size refrigerator. There is EVERYTHIING you could need to cook - utensils, measuring cups pots, pans, and baking dishes. The only real challenge is the tiny sink for cleanup. Candy has provided anything and everything you need for a comfortable stay: towels, robes, extra blankets, etc. And if you forgot to pack it, never fear, it is stocked and ready for your use: bug spray, suntan lotion, aloe, tweezers, laundry detergent... I can't think of anything missing. During our stay, sadly the hot tub began leaking and we only got to use it once. Candy & Michael kept us informed about their attempts to get repairs done. We came back from an outing one day to find a bag of gourmet treats and a bottle of wine waiting on the doorstep for us. They offered us use of their kayaks and Candy worked hard to convince us to try pickle ball - she was willing to be our instructor! We were not convinced :). They are great hosts! The beach is a quick walk across the street and across a parking lot. Wonderful restaurants such as Garlic and The Treehouse are within walking / biking distance. Easy 30-minute drive to Blue Springs state park. Also, a great Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings on Canal Street.

About the host

Hosted by Candy & Mike Loures

In 2003, My husband Michael and I purchased this ugly duckling house on a sand street -- that had been standing since 1915. We thought "not too pretty but a great location". . In 2007 we hired a local contractor, one of the Clancy family, to remodel the main house. The Clancy's own a restaurant on Flagler Ave. had a very large family and made a significant impact on this town over the years. The oceanfront park across the street is named after their mother Marianne Clancy. It had 9 bedrooms and 4 baths when we bought it! Our mailman told us that members of The Allman Bros. Band rented the home one summer. We are still trying to get information about its history. Recently, a very nice former resident knocked on our door and brought a picture for us of the houses in 1953 when she spent her summers here. New Smyrna has always a favorite place for Orlando residents to get to "the beach." The beach is all about "creating FUN memories" and we hope all of our guests will too!

Why they chose this property

in October 2003 there was the ad "Multi family dwelling, steps from the beach. Owner will hold mortgage." Due to its run down condition, the only way anyone could buy this was with a private mortgage. Love at first site! I never thought we would get to live here - but that happened in 2010 and we love "the beach life!"
