The Porch House in Bethune Beach: a three-bedroom, two-bath home a few steps from the beach and the Mosquito Lagoon. An annual, unfurnished rental located just outside the gates to the Canaveral National Seashore, the longest stretch of undeveloped Atlantic coastline in Florida, this home features a series of four porches with spectacular ocean and lagoon views, a front deck off the main living space, and a private rear patio and yard. Watch the sun rise from the front deck; watch it set over the lagoon. Explore the beach and boat through the endless mangrove-maze in the protected Mosquito Lagoon estuary. Bethune Beach is a surfer's, fisherman's, and naturalist's paradise. A ten-minute drive to the quintessential Florida town of New Smyrna Beach with its walkable restaurants and shops.
