Our condo is on the top floor of The Shores Club with direct ocean front access onto the quiet, NO-DRIVE BEACH. The views and the venue are spectacular! Be sure to check our reviews: Our guests agree! Please note: While our nightly rent may be slightly higher than some, we are "owner managed." That means (1) We do not pay a property management company huge fees on top of our nightly rate, so if you compare total costs, we are lower than almost every condo that is managed by a property manager (and we are nicer to work with, too! :); (2) The rent is put back into the condo to keep it clean and in excellent repair...not to a rental company to support their profitability, and we do not rely on a busy property manager to manage our condo's repair problems. We ask our renters to notify us immediately if there are any issues and we fix the problem immediately. What Makes The Shores Club and our condo unique? (1) Quiet & pristine, No-Drive beach: We have the best of both worlds with the quiet beach in front of our condo...but walk about 10 minutes north on the beach for wonderful people-watching and food vendors! When you walk out the ocean-side door of The Shores Club, you walk directly across the pool deck, down the ramp to the beach and you are on the 23 miles stretch of hard-packed, sandy beach that comprises world-acclaimed, Daytona Beach. Unlike most/many of the condos on Daytona Beach, The Shores Club is on the quiet, “No Drive” portion of the beach and offers a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It is very different from the drive-on sections where cars drive between sun-bathers and the water. Our pool, beach stairs and ramp ARE OPEN! (2) East AND west-facing balconies on the top (11th) floor as well as floor to ceiling, ocean-side windows...for most spectacular views of sunrises over the ocean, spectacular sunsets over the Inter-coastal, as well as moonlight dancing over both the ocean and inter-coastal. waters! You have to see it to believe how beautiful it is! (3) The Shores Club amenities include: - Oceanfront heated swimming pool; - Two (2) pool-side BBQ grills and picnic tables for ocean side dining; - Large pool deck and patio/lounging area; - Full tennis, pickle ball, basketball and shuffleboard courts; - Fitness center overlooking pool and ocean; - Library - Indoor sauna; - Secured building: accessed with keyless entry; - On-sight property manager (except Saturday and Sunday) - Maintenance crew to ensure building cleanliness and efficient operations; - Safe neighborhood; - Security cameras: Entrances, Lobby, Stairwells, Garage and Parking lot Friendly occupants and renters give the Shores Club a special quality.
