Beautiful place nestled on the intracoastal waterway, a few pleasurable blocks to the beach and great nightlife. Very scenic sunset and waterway views from a spacious balcony/porch. Four star restaurant Riverview Charlie's for the epicurians. They provide bicycles and beach towels also. Large live oaks with spanish moss everywhere. You can load your car up and drive onto the beach to find a good spot.
New Smyrna Beach: Riverview: "Recommended"
Reviewer: A TripAdvisor User, Satellite Beach, FL, June 6, 2003
A great quaint hotel in New Smyrna Beach Florida, just south of Daytona Beach, owned by my longtime friends and WorldProFunTeam members Jim and Christa Kelsey
It is right on the Intracoastal Waterway and just a couple of blocks from the Daytona type beach.
It is also within an hours drive of Disney World. Jim and Christa also owned the legendary Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon Florida where many a night was spent putting the "Brass Ring" on the hook at the Anglers Lounge. Somehow, it always seemed to get a little easier with every pitcher of margarittas.....
