Harbor Beach Resort in Daytona Beach. April 2012 Harbor Beach Resort is an 8-story condo-hotel located at 701 S Atlantic Ave south of Sun Splash Park. Built in 1975, this 164-room resort was recently renovated. Extensive concrete restoration (replacement of all balconies), plus installation of new windows and sliding doors, repavement of pool deck and some other important items have been taken care of. It is a beautiful building, and I remember that several years ago we considered it a very good condo-hotel, but since there were changes, that made us be cautious about this resort and in general we do not really work there because of the concerns over lack of rental management the way it is in most other condo-hotels. They had difficult time with rental management companies, and after lo...

A few weeks ago I was at the county Foreclosure auction in Deland, our Volusia County seat. Deland is a nice quaint small town, home to Stetson University, and numerous local government offices. A condo-hotel unit in Harbour Beach Resort in Daytona Beach was scheduled for the auction, and I was curious to see what happens to it, along with a few other properties to be sold at the auction. We waited until they announce the priced up to which the Lenders were going to bid, otherwise known as the lowest the Lender would accept. The condo-hotel unit was not discounted and the lender was asking for about $35K (I do not remember the exact amount). We thought that nobody would be bidding on it, as the lowest price you could by a unit there now was $27K, but with no view. Still, for the auction...

When I walked into the lobby of Harbour Beach Resort, a Daytona Beach oceanfront condo-hotel, yesterday to see how they were doing, I could not even imagine that I would end up kicked off the property. I saw that the sign “Atlantic Shores Management”, the manager was there, I did not meet this lady before, so I decided to introduce myself. I actually did not need the manager to see that the balconies were fixed and aluminum railing installed. I have photos of before, and while they were doing it. I just came to say ‘Hi’… I told her that I was a broker and that I specialized in condo-hotels and that I was blogging about them on the Internet. She became immediately very tense and said she would need the approval of the Board of Directors of the condoowners association to to give me inform...

It was time for me to pay a visit to Harbour Beach Resort, a Daytona Beach oceanfront Condo-Hotel, as I have not been there for quite some time, and last time I was there, they were in the process of remodeling, or better say, concrete restoration, a major and costly repair, which all oceanfront buildings in the area have to go through after 30-40 years. It involves replacing balconies. Because to do that they need to go inside 18", and for that they have to take out the glass wall with a sliding door, owners usually replace them with new ones, which are up to new codes and are hurricane proof.  This is a 165-unit oceanfront eight story condo-hotel in the heart of Daytona Beach. The majority of units are direct oceanfront studios, some mini-suits and deluxe suites. Units are equipped wi...

Harbour Beach Resort, 701 South Atlantic Ave, Daytona Beach, FL 32118 Built in 1975, the Resort had seen better days. Until 5 years ago we considered it a nicer property and liked to bring our customers there. Then the property started slowly deteriorating, management and maintenance going down the hill. They did not have luck with the management company, three companies within the last 4 years made a big dent in trust between the onwers and the management. The Board failed to set the goals to preserve the and increase the rentals. It is just mind boggling what can people do to diminish the value of the property for the owners. No decent rentals, the whole front desk is missing... Last year the resort started serious work on replacing concrete balconies. They also are replacing the wind...
