Marina Point is the boater's buy in Daytona Beach: a gated peninsula jutting into the Halifax River with its own private marina, a 24-hour guard gate, and three mid-rise buildings of genuinely large condos — 2-beds from about 1,500 sq ft and 3-beds well past 2,000. If your search starts with “where does the boat go?”, this is the building the oceanfront condo sites serve worst, and the one I get asked about most by Intracoastal buyers.

The marina is the value — read the marina rules
Slips to 40 feet on the Intracoastal, behind a guard gate, minutes from Ponce Inlet by water — that's why Marina Point trades at a premium to garden-variety riverfront condos. But slip terms are exactly the kind of detail that's reported three different ways online. Before you write an offer counting on a slip, get the association's current marina rules: how slips are assigned, what they cost, and whether there's a wait. I pull that with the condo documents on every Marina Point deal.
What it costs to own at Marina Point
The fee covers cable, building insurance, grounds, pest control, the 24-hour gate, sewer, trash, and water — the guard gate and marina are why it isn't cheap, and current dollar figures belong in a live MLS pull, not a web page; ask me and I'll send today's numbers. On flood: unlike the oceanfront towers (whose building sites mostly map Zone X), this peninsula sits in the river — FEMA maps it across AE and X zones (NFHL, July 2026). The association's master policy handles the structure; your HO-6 plus contents-level flood coverage is the smart pairing here. Local cost detail: Daytona Beach flood insurance guide.
Milestone and reserves: buildings over three stories from 1982 and 1993 are inside Florida's milestone-inspection and SIRS regime, so the structural reports and reserve study exist — review them before you offer. Primer: Florida condo reserves & SIRS, explained.
Who Marina Point fits
Boaters first, obviously — but also buyers who want square footage. A 2,200–2,800 sq ft condo with water views costs dramatically less here than its oceanfront equivalent in the Shores, and the reported 6-month minimum in the newest building keeps the peninsula residential, not transient. Downtown Daytona, the ballpark, and Beach Street restaurants are minutes away.
Frequently asked questions
How much do Marina Point condos cost?
As of July 2026, active listings ranged from about $370,000 for 2-bedrooms to $690,000 for 3-bedrooms, with one 2,822 sq ft end unit asking $1.249M. Large floor plans are the norm — 2-beds start around 1,500 sq ft.
Does Marina Point have boat slips?
Yes — a private marina with slips to 40 ft is the community's signature. Slip cost and assignment terms are reported inconsistently online, so get the association's current marina rules before you count on one. Robert pulls those with the condo documents on every offer.
Is Marina Point in a flood zone?
The peninsula is mapped across FEMA Zones AE and X, including shaded X (FEMA NFHL, checked July 2026) — as riverfront, flood insurance is a real consideration. The association's master policy covers the structure; owners typically pair an HO-6 with contents-level flood coverage.
What is the monthly fee at Marina Point?
The association sets it annually; it covers cable, building insurance, grounds, pest control, 24-hour security, sewer, trash, and water. Published dollar figures online are stale — ask Robert Kirkland for the current fee and budget, pulled same-day.
Can I rent out a Marina Point condo?
A 6-month minimum is reported for the newest building, and policies vary across the three buildings — confirm per building with the association. It is not a condo-hotel; this is a residential, gated community.
