About this property
Gorgeous Oceanfront Condo-Walk to Flagler-Updated Beachy Chic-Best NSB Location!
**Premiere Location** Incredible Ocean Views**
Hello sun and fun seekers! CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Our building, the Golden Arms, has been undergoing a major construction project including the removal and replacement of all balconies in the building (due to age, not safety) since late 2023. Construction is expected to be complete at the end of 2026! As soon as the project is over, we will be back to renting so please consider us for your 2027 vacation plans. We will be using this time to also do some renovations to make unit 307 even better! Please send me a note if you have any questions.
This fully remodeled, perfectly appointed, light and bright 2 bedroom/2 bath condo that can accommodate 6 guests is a short walk to Flagler Avenue! Our goal is to make it easy for you to have a fabulous vacation - Reserve, Arrive, and Relax!
This inviting home has been completely renovated and professionally decorated from top to bottom. It features an upgraded newer kitchen with white cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, high-end baths, wood tile floors in the kitchen and living area, new carpet in the master and brand new furnishings, including new mattresses for a great night of sleep while on vacation! The guest bedroom was also recently remodeled with new beds, mattresses and decor. All sheets and linens were recently replaced and we continue to buy the high end sheets that our guests *love*. Other recent updates include an under the sink water filter/ice filter and a beautiful "dry bar" in the family room with a beverage cooler.
This spacious 1,250 square foot unit is in the Golden Arms condominium complex that has a private, updated beachfront pool heated to 85 degrees year round and convenient elevator access (we are 2 doors down from the elevator). This property is less than a five minute walk to the world class restaurants, coffee shops, boutique shopping, live music, and nightlife on famous Flagler Avenue. The convenient location allows you to enjoy some of the best New Smyrna Beach has to offer without having to worry about driving and finding a place to park, yet is far enough to still be peaceful and relaxing. It is truly the MOST sought after location in NSB.
Being steps from the beach affords you the amazing sights and sounds of the ocean from the kitchen, family room, master bedroom and balcony. The ideal third floor center location in the complex allows you to hear the sounds of the waves while having an unobstructed view with a wonderful breeze, without the stronger winds that higher floor locations may bring. Spectacular views of the ocean will greet you as you enter your Florida beachfront getaway. “WOW!!!” is the common reaction from anyone walking through the door. The master suite has a king bed, private bath, walk-in closet and dressing area that you can use as a desk (great for if you are working while there). Sliding glass doors from the master allows access to the 250 square foot balcony where you can enjoy the panoramic ocean views. The second bedroom has two full beds, a mounted smart TV and a walk-in closet. The family room also features a queen sized pull out sofa (additional pillows and blankets are provided) and access to the balcony. Just pack your swimsuit! This home with many extras is stocked for fun-filled family time and has everything you need for an unforgettable vacation: • High speed wireless internet • 3 flat screen TV’s (two new Smart TV's - 52" and 48” ) • HD cable in the family room and Master • Charging station • Fully stocked chef’s kitchen with sharp knives & serving pieces • Keurig & traditional coffee maker, coffee grinder • Linens, including beach towels • Iron & ironing board • Games, cards & books • Beach bags & a cooler bag • 2 Hair dryers • Beach chairs & umbrella • Sand Toys • Two "Beach Cruiser" style bikes
For families traveling with infants and Toddlers, we also have a Pack N Play (with a mattress) and a high chair. During your stay, you will enjoy easy access to the beach and pool. The complex also includes a shuffleboard court, putting green, and a private garage, which gives you the assurance of a close and secure parking spot. The Golden Arms is a secured property that welcomes children. Beachside, there is a Lifeguard station close to the complex in the summer. Easily walk to water sports and beachfront dining. The Riverview Spa is also walking distance and the Publix grocery store is 2 miles away. Don’t want to leave the pool or beach for lunch? Grab lunch at the nearby food truck on the beach or get it delivered to your beach chair!

We would definitely stay in this condo again. It overlooks the ocean and the beautiful pool. The garage is close to the entrance to the building and has everything you need to enjoy the beach. It is within a 5 minute walk to Flagler and all the great restaurants and shops. The owners were helpful with anything we needed. Perfect!
The condo was beautiful and well appointed with everything we needed. It is located close to numerous restaurants and shopping. The view is spectacular and even over a holiday week, the pool was not crowded. Communication and check in was seamless. I would highly recommend the unit. Perfect for adults and families with kids of all ages.

The condo was fabulous. It was exactly as advertized and more. The kitchen had every appliance, spice, utensil, dishes and cocktail glasses etc that we wanted. There were plenty of towels, supplies and beach items. It was a fabulous place. There was nothing left out and it made it feel like home.

Everything about this condo is outstanding and I hated to leave. It has a great view of the ocean from the 3rd floor balcony. The inside is remodeled with higher end fixtures and controls and is very clean. Having bikes included also was a very nice tough. I will definitely rent here again.

About the host
Hosted by Jen Blockinger
Todd and I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago and currently live there with our son and daughter. We love our town and living by our families, but we dread the cold and snowy Chicago winters. Being on the beach is our favorite place to be. We travel often for both work and pleasure and have rented over 15 vacation rentals on VRBO. We bought the condo and have been renting it since June of 2016 and have absolutely loved hosting families from around the world! We have taken great care in stocking our second home with everything needed to make your vacation perfect. Vacations are far and few between so we believe they should be amazing. We want you to have the best possible experience and will do everything we can to make that happen.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with New Smyrna Beach while visiting Orlando for a family reunion. We wanted to do a day at the beach and a friend who lives locally recommended New Smyrna Beach over all of the other other beaches within driving distance from Orlando. None of us had ever heard of it! We spent an unforgettable day at the ocean. As we drove down Flagler, we agreed that the beautiful beach, amazing restaurants, the casual vibe of NSB and the proximity to Disney would make New Smyrna Beach a great place to visit again and again. We decided right then and there we would love to get a vacation home there. Rather than spending a week in Orlando with a day trip to New Smyrna Beach, we'd enjoy it more to spend a week in NSB and do a day trip to Orlando. We have yet to find a person who has stayed in New Smyrna Beach and didn't want to return. We are thrilled to share our condo and love for New Smyrna Beach with you!
What makes this property unique
We spent months looking for the perfect oceanfront condo that had everything we wanted: beautiful views of the ocean, an updated and upgraded interior, an immaculate pool and the BEST location. After seeing several, we were very discouraged. Many of the condos were very dark on the inside with little to no view. The complexes weren’t as nice as we’d have liked. Most of units were so outdated, it appeared as though the fixtures and decor were original. Worst of all, although they were on the beach, none of them were walking distance to Flagler (or walking distance to ANYTHING for that matter!), which is one of the things we love most about NSB. Very few of the condos were places we would want to rent, much less own. When we walked in to our condo, we knew we found the perfect place! The stunning view of the waves greeted us as we walked through the door. The condo is light, bright, airy and has been fully updated and beautifully done. No expense was spared in the remodel. We didn’t want to leave. Not only did we love the condo, but the location was exactly what we wanted – it was the only one we looked at that was walking distance to our favorite Breakfast, lunch and dinner spots, ice cream stand, coffee shop and favorite place to enjoy a margarita. The icing on the cake was the garage - the only place we saw that offered this amenity. We hope you will enjoy your time spent here as much as we do!
