7111 S Atlantic Ave, New Smyrna Beach, FL 32169

The last house before the wild, and the first place you'll truly exhale. At the very southern tip of Bethune Beach, on a quiet dead-end road that gives way to the protected dunes of Canaveral National Seashore, sits a rare thing on Florida's east coast: a true private oceanfront home with nothing beyond it but sand, sea oats, and sky. No through-traffic. No high-rises. No crowds. Just two stories and five bedrooms of room to spread out, the Atlantic at your doorstep, and miles of car-free, undeveloped coastline that feel like your own. This is a home built for people who want to stay a while. With a thirty-night minimum and availability by the month, the season, or the long term, it suits the way real life unfolds: a snowbird winter, a remote-work stretch, a family chapter between homes, or simply a long, slow month of doing very little on purpose. Inside, five spacious bedrooms and three full baths spread across two levels, so a large family or several couples can settle in with room to find a quiet corner of their own. The home comes ready for living, with a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, and comfortable common spaces designed for both gathering and getting away from one another when the moment calls for it. Step outside and the ocean is right there, close enough to wake up to sunrise over the water and fall asleep to the sound of the surf. A few things set this place apart from the usual beach rental. Parking for up to five vehicles right on the property means everyone can bring a car with none of the street-parking headaches that plague long stays and big groups. The dead-end road delivers genuine privacy, with the national seashore serving as your back fence. And your pets are warmly welcomed, because a retreat this good should not mean leaving the dogs behind. Then there is the beach itself. Because you are south of the drive-on zone, the sand here is completely car-free, which makes it ideal for sunrise walks, shelling, surfing, and letting kids and dogs roam without a worry. Just up the road, Mary McLeod Bethune Beach Park offers an oceanfront boardwalk, a fishing pier, a playground, and tennis and pickleball courts. Walk out the back and you are in Canaveral National Seashore, where wild dunes, nesting sea turtles, and some of the darkest, most star-filled skies in Florida await. The water works its magic on both sides of the island. On the river side, keep an eye out for manatees, dolphins, and pelicans, then stroll to JB's Fish Camp for fresh local seafood and kayak or paddleboard rentals. On clear nights, rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center light up the southern horizon, a private show from your own deck. And when you want a little more bustle, historic Canal Street and Flagler Avenue are a short drive north in downtown New Smyrna Beach, with galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and a Saturday farmers' market. This stretch of coast is the part the locals quietly guard. It is laid-back and unhurried, with the Atlantic on one side, the Indian River on the other, and nothing tall or loud between them. For those who would rather hear waves than valet bells, there is no better address. The home is perfect for snowbirds escaping the cold, remote workers and digital nomads, families relocating or between homes, writers and artists craving a real retreat, multigenerational gatherings, and dog owners who refuse to vacation without their pups. Available for monthly, seasonal, and long-term stays, with a thirty-night minimum. The end of the road is ready for you. Reach out to check availability, because the winter season books early. Furnished beachfront home available. Monthly Rates available. STC Terms and fees apply.
