History
History of the Anchor Inn Bed & Breakfast
New Smyrna Beach
The original two-bedroom house was built in 1923. In 2000, it was purchased and turned into a bed & breakfast, retaining the structure and original floors of the house. The four rooms in the back and the upstairs owner’s quarters were built on to the property at that time.
It opened as the Longboard Inn in the year 2001 and has had four owners since then. The name of the inn was changed to The Anchor Inn in 2016. When Tommy and Liz moved into the house next door, they converted the upstairs owner’s quarters into The Captain’s Deck Suite, bringing the total number of rooms to seven.
