THE LIFTED LOFT – Where Coastal Charm Meets Effortless Access
Welcome to The Lifted Loft, a newly-built, beautifully designed upper-level apartment nestled in the heart of Port Orange's historic Harbor Oaks neighborhood, just minutes from Daytona Beach. Whether you're here to paddle the Halifax River, catch rocket launches from your balcony, or simply unwind in a bright and stylish coastal retreat, this is your perfect home base.

Our small team is always happy to help and responds to questions and concerns between 9am and 10pm EST.

🏘️ THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Nestled in the charming historic Harbor Oaks neighborhood along the banks of the Halifax River, The Lifted Loft puts you right in the heart of Old Florida coastal living. Step outside and you're just 50 yards from river access, grab one of the included kayaks and paddle through one of Florida's most scenic stretches of the Intracoastal Waterway, where dolphins and manatees are frequent visitors. Stroll north or south along Riverside Drive and discover peaceful river parks with benches perfect for watching sailboats drift by. The streets here are quiet and slow, 25 mph, plenty of foot traffic and bike riders, making it ideal for a morning ride on one of the included beach cruisers. Daytona Beach is just 10 minutes north and New Smyrna Beach 20 minutes south, yet Harbor Oaks feels like your own private slice of Florida, far from the crowds. And on a clear night? Step onto the front balcony and watch rocket launches light up the sky from Cape Canaveral. This isn't just a place to sleep, it's a neighborhood worth exploring.

You'll have full and private access to the entire upper-level apartment. The property features a private elevator accessed directly from the garage, making your arrival completely effortless. Simply pull into the driveway, enter the garage using the smart LiftMaster keypad, and take the elevator straight up to your apartment. No keys, no front desk, no waiting, just seamless, independent access from the moment you arrive. The owners live on the lower level of the home and are available if you ever need anything, but rest assured they completely respect your privacy and will never interfere with your stay. You have the entire upper floor to yourself , your space, your pace.

Traveling with motorcycles? The garage has space to park up to 2 motorcycles, giving guests a convenient covered option during their stay and making it easier to enjoy the area with their bikes close by.
