My mother was looking for a place to winter in New Smyrna Beach, and the options we found were either filthy or outrageously priced, or both.  Truly, every year she was disappointed in what she found, and I saddened by my thinning wallet.  So rather than keep looking for a place that didn’t exist, I chose to not renew my long term tenants lease, and put a new paint job on the old place.
 
Well things kinda snowballed from there.  I ended up knocking down walls, opening up kitchens and creating bathrooms that inspired envy. At some point I realized that my marketing job was no longer as satisfying as taking a blueprint in my brain and making it a reality, so I quit.  A few handy friends, YouTube and I began tearing things apart and tinkering with things from home depot until we had stumbled into something delightful.

Then my 11 year old son told me about a duplex for sale on North Cooper Ave.  Within a few months I purchased it, and began tearing it down to the studs and rebuilt it.  This was fun because I had a completely blank canvas from which to work.  Namaste Here and Buddha's Bungalow are located just a stone's throw away from Flagler Ave.  You are near all the fun of the nightlife, shopping and restaurants that New Smyrna Beach has to offer.  My guests loved what I had made, and have left me dozens of five star reviews on Google and AirBnB.  I love happy customers and this gave me the confidence to do it all again.
 
I recently purchased a triplex on Hope ave, located in a short term rental zone.  I am getting my tools and work boots ready, and have informed my friends that we will be swinging hammers together yet again.

See the project here.

We are excited about it, I hope you are too.

See you at the Beach,
