About the community
Bouchelle Island sits right on the Intracoastal Waterway in New Smyrna Beach — 52 acres of manicured grounds shared by 40-plus condo buildings. A Community Services Association maintains the common grounds and amenities, while each of the individual condo associations handles its own building. The result is a resort-style, low-maintenance waterfront community that's especially popular with boaters and snowbirds.
Homes & prices
Homes are condos — one-, two-, and three-bedroom units spread across many buildings, which means a genuinely wide range of prices, sizes, layouts, and views (garden, pool, or water). Because there are so many associations, dues and rules vary building to building, and waterfront-view units command a premium. That's where local knowledge pays off: tell me your budget, whether you need a boat slip, and the view you want, and I'll narrow the field fast.
Amenities & boating
The amenity package is exceptional for a condo community: an 18-hole pitch-and-putt golf course, two heated swimming pools with a spa and large sun decks, two lighted tennis courts, shuffleboard, and a clubhouse with a member library. For boaters it's a standout — 82 wet slips up to about 36 feet, dry storage for roughly 67 boats and trailers, kayak and canoe storage, a floating dock, and a 3,000-foot boardwalk along the Intracoastal that many residents fish from. It's about as amenity-rich as waterfront condo living gets.
