Boater's paradise in Islesboro

Islesboro, a small Intracoastal community, snugly sits above New Smyrna Beach’s regional airport and in between the waterways of Turnbull Bay and Ponce de Leon Inlet Cut. According to Chris Schwarz and Tim Loomis, owners of White Whale Real Estate and area experts, “Boaters love this location because there is a boat ramp minutes away that is situated in between New Smyrna Beach and Ponce Inlet that leads directly to the ocean and allows for incredible fishing.”

Spending a day on the water is a popular pastime for Isleboro residents.

Boating the bay and community gardening

Turnbull Bay and Ponce de Leon Inlet Cut are a boater’s dream, and sailors take full advantage of being right next door to both waterways. However, they also know to be aware of protected areas. “We have several different species of protected marine life, with our local manatees topping the list,” Schwarz and Loomis share. “The waterways are well marked with no wake zones in certain areas. I feel like we have a good mix of wake and no wake zones that give boaters the freedom to go full throttle or just take a pleasure cruise.” Residents like to gather at Rocco Park, where kids run around the playground and groups play sports or cast a line off the fishing pier on Turnbull Bay. Around the corner is New Smyrna Beach Sports Complex, which contains football, baseball and multi-purpose fields, and The New Smyrna Beach Garden Club. This non-profit brings together the community through gardening classes and green-thumb activities that focus on environmental education and protection, as well as community support and beautification. Members can also grow their own produce at the community garden or participate in annual events, like the club’s rummage sale and Festival of Trees.

Brightly colored ranches between the waterways

L-shaped and forward-facing ranch-style homes are set back off the neighborhood's residential blocks. Larger single-family residences are also peppered around Islesboro. Homeowners take creative liberties when decorating their homes, adding bright exterior paint jobs and ornamental lawns. Prices typically range between $275,000 and $490,000. Homeowners may not have oceanfront views, but being between two major waterways offers plenty of natural landscape for residents to enjoy.

Dinner at Bello Valentino's and a day at the arts center

When locals feel hungry, they can spend an evening dining at Bello Valentino’s, a local low-lit Italian restaurant near the highway. Diners settle in with a glass of wine and savor the restaurant’s signature linguine con vongole. For more casual fare, Brat Haus serves authentic German dishes and beer, while Lost Lagoon Wings and Grill’s menu has American classics like wings and burgers. Both restaurants are within 1 mile of the neighborhood. Grocery shopping takes locals a bit farther away from home, as the closest grocery store is Perrine’s Produce 4 miles south. However, in the area is Circle K, a convenience store carrying a selection of everyday items. For a bit of art appreciation, residents visit the Atlantic Center for the Arts a little over 1 mile away. The center has rotating exhibitions and is active in the community as an advocate for conservation efforts. It also offers a year-round schedule of inter-generational and accessible creative workshops.

Watching flights from New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport

Frequent flyers have convenient access to the New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport, which is directly south of the neighborhood. “Residents do have to deal with air traffic noise,” Schwarz and Lomis say. “However, this is not a major airport, so you won’t have large jets flying in and out. The city is also working on noise abatement protocols.” Commuters are right by U.S. State Route 1 and the Votran bus stops that run along it, and Interstate 95 is only 6 miles west.
