Vacation Renting New Smyrna Beach Homes
The homes pictured below fall into allowable “short term” rental zones i.e. vacation rental zone. Since there is no way to specifically search these through the zoning code (as there are several different codes) we will try and update this list periodically for accuracy. Buyers should always verify the zoning with the City of New Smyrna Beach prior to purchasing a property for the purpose of short term vacation renting. Also keep in mind that we manually create this list based on the zoning code and location, and listings change daily so if you are in need of a full list immediately please contact us as this may only be updated weekly. Use the City of New Smyrna Beach Zoning Map to search a specific address and confirm the zone, or scroll down to view the image map. The areas shaded in pink are designated short term rental zones within city limits. Bethune Beach and Silver Sands are county zoning, refer to Volusia County for details in these areas.
Short Term Rentals in New Smyrna Beach for Income Generation
It’s important to remember that not all homes on beachside in New Smyrna can be rented less than 30 days at a time, aka vacation rented. The City of New Smyrna Beach has zoning restrictions in place in order to protect full time residents from transient traffic throughout the year. With a little research, it’s simple to evaluate the areas at the beach that will work for your vacation rental investment home in NSB.
One way to begin is by searching real estate on the beachside in New Smyrna Beach and when you find a potential property that suits your needs just check the zoning. Once the zone is determined, you can find out if it falls into the following criteria. The City of New Smyrna Beach (this does not include Silver Sands and Bethune Beach) defines a short term rental as less than 30 days and permits “vacation rentals” in the following areas per the Code of Ordinances: East of the Intracoastal Waterway (referred to later as ICW) Zoning districts (this is beachside)- R-3A east of Atlantic Avenue, R-4, R-5, R-6, B-4, M-U, and BBH. East of ICW and south of 3rd Avenue zoning districts- R-2A. West of the Intracoastal Waterway Zoning districts: M-U, BBH.

Buying A Condo For Investment/Vacation Rental Income Purposes
Condos for sale in New Smyrna Beach can be a little more straight forward. Since the condominium association governs the complex, the answer to whether or not an owner can vacation rent their unit can be found in the property listing details. This information is required to be placed in the New Smyrna Beach MLS. Some condo complexes will allow owners to rent on a 3 day minimum stay, a week, or monthly. However, some of the luxury and off-beach complexes will require a 6 month to year lease in order to rent your unit.
