Daytona Beach, FL — (May 29, 2025) — Today, Minto Communities USA and Margaritaville Holdings announced that Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach, the first Latitude Margaritaville community to open, has sold out more than five years ahead of sales projections. The community features a total of 3,763 homes.

Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach consistently exceeded all sales projections since opening. More than 300 aspiring homebuyers camped out the night before the November 2017 sales launch to be among the first in line to select their home lots.

According to Minto President William Bullock, “Latitude Margaritaville has redefined pre-retirement and retirement living. There’s nothing else like it. Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach, the flagship, has earned national acclaim and numerous awards. These vibrant communities offer a fun, relaxed lifestyle that embodies everything Latitude Margaritaville stands for. Interest has been incredible. Over 500,000 prospective buyers are registered to learn more about the current communities and future locations.”

Latitude Margaritaville communities are developed by master developer Minto Communities under license from global lifestyle brand Margaritaville Holdings. The second community, Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head opened in South Carolina.

The world-class amenities, plethora of music, sense of community, friendships, well-built homes and beach club are just a few of the special reasons I have called Latitude Margaritaville home for the last seven years.”
