Location
- Beachside
- On the barrier island, the ocean side of the river
- Beach access
- About 0.5 mi · Oakwood Av (dune walkover)
- Drive-on beach ramp
- Flagler Av, about 0.6 mi
Beachside distances are straight-line to the nearest public beach access or ramp (Volusia County data); private walkovers owned by a building aren't in the county's data. "Oceanfront lot" means the county lot lines run to the beach with nothing but beach or dune in between (Volusia County parcel map). Mainland drive times and miles follow the roads, from this home to the quickest of the nearby beach accesses; they are estimates from a routing service (OpenRouteService), and actual times vary with traffic, traffic lights, season and events. Beach driving depends on the tide and the season; check the county's ramp status before you go.

Estimates only. Taxes are estimated for a new owner from this year's local tax rates; special assessments and fees on the tax bill (garbage, stormwater, street lighting) are not included. Rates are Freddie Mac's weekly national average; yours depends on your credit, loan type and points. Insurance varies widely by company, roof, age and location: add your own quotes. The current owner's tax bill for 2025 was $4,479.
Insurance varies a lot in Florida: roof age, year built, storm protection and the flood zone drive the price. Get quotes early, before your inspection period ends. Ask Elk for help with quotes →
