Buying a Waterfront Home in New Smyrna Beach

Answers from broker owners Ryan and Megan Winslow

Reviewed and updated October 3, 2026 by Ryan and Megan Winslow, Winslow Homes

What should I check on a waterfront home?

Inspect the seawall and dock, confirm permits for the dock and lift, review the elevation certificate, and get flood and wind insurance quotes early.

Ocean, river, or canal?

Oceanfront homes carry the highest insurance and wind exposure. Indian River and canal homes offer boating access, and depth at low tide matters for boat owners.

Where do I start?
