About this house rental

Come and enjoy your own piece of New Smyrna Beach history at “The Tatum House”, a recently renovated 1940’s Florida historical beach cottage conveniently located at 1001 Hill Street, NSB. Originally built by the Tatum family in 1940, The Tatum House is recognized by almost all of New Smyrna Beach natives as one of the first and now oldest remaining beach homes. This home radiates the charm and flair of old Florida family beach days. Envision yourself sitting on the back porch in our classic white Adirondack chairs, a beach breeze keeping you cool, the sound of the ocean waves rolling in the background, with the sea shells collected from your morning walk sitting at your feet. These are the kind of days that can be enjoyed by guests of The Tatum House.

With four bedrooms and three full baths, this home easily accommodates a family or a couples’ getaway. The large sectional in the living room invites you to curl up for a nap or gather as a group for movie night. There is plenty of eating space with the large kitchen bar and cozy dining table.

When renovating the home, it was important to us that we maintain the historical integrity and old Florida charm, while throwing in a gentle touch of modern conveniences and upgrades. Many of the home’s features remain from the original construction, including red pine wood floors throughout, bedroom doors and hardware. The newly tiled kitchen and bathrooms were selected to stay consistent with the patterns of the period. Each room has been named after a landmark. Be sure to spend some time in the stairwell enjoying historical pictures of the home and new Smyrna from back in the day!

In addition to the 55” TV in the living room, each bedroom hosts a 43 inch mounted TV to allow for private wind down time in your room. All bedrooms have an ocean view.

The storage shed on the property houses an assortment of beach chairs, bikes, floats, etc. for your use during your stay. And when you aren’t just hanging out at Tatum house, you will find you are very conveniently located in New Smyrna, just off of 1st Avenue for easy exploring around town. You are within half a mile of famous Flagler Avenue, which boasts plenty of restaurants, shopping, bars, art shows, etc. You’re three blocks from the conveniences of the grocery store (Publix), more shopping and eating, the famous Red Dog Surf Shop for beach clothing and surf gear and The Little Theatre for a night out of local talent. Walk out the back door, straight onto the beach and you are within a quarter mile of great beachfront eating and cocktails at Toni and Joe’s (to the north) and Sea Vista Tiki Bar (to the South). A little further down gets you to Breakers (north) and Chases (south). When you book, we will hook you up with the complete lowdown on the places to hit in NSB during your stay!!! There is never a dull moment in this quaint community that promotes enjoyment for all ages! New Smyrna Beach is a generational vacation spot……grandchildren that visited with their grandparents continue to vacation in New Smyrna to recapture those glorious days of fun in the sun with family and friends.

We are so excited for you to come enjoy our little piece of heaven in New Smyrna Beach!!....Return for another visit and take advantage of the 10% discount we extend to returning guests. New Smyrna is addictive!

We wanted a place that was right on the beach to celebrate our daughter and husband with the rest of our family before their baby boy is born. The Tatum house looked so special and exceeded our expectations! The location is ideal in every way, the outdoor dining areas and grill made every bite taste even better, the abundance of beach chairs, tents, toys and towels made beach time so convenient, and the charming home, and fluffy beds made relaxing ever so easy. We enjoyed 3 days here, and we all can't wait to go again. The next time, we'll bring baby Bennett with us too!

Our family of 6 loves The Tatum House and we plan of coming back. Our hosts were super responsive and thought of everything, including being welcomed with a delicious lemon cake upon arriving. We spent four amazing nights and our adult kids and family had no problem settling comfortably in. The beds were comfy with high end bedding, a wonderful cozy open living/ kitchen area that had a five star view. The porches had excellent hang out areas. Easy direct access to beach with a stunning up close view! The back porch has a wonderful covered area in case it rains with rocking chairs. I have to mention how well the AC works. We rent beach homes and condos often and this one really works and no temperature requirements! Also, I totally appreciated such a lovely historic decorated so beautifully.

We absolutely loved The Tatum House. This home is exquisitely furnished with everything needed for time away. Watching the sun rise from the back porch daily was a true gift! The home caters to adults and children alike. This is so well appointed that all we needed were our clothes. We definitely will return for a longer visit. The style and comfort of this home was a breath of fresh air!
