Daytona Beach, FL – Beach Teepees, a unique full-service beach experience company, is redefining luxury on the shores of Florida’s iconic beaches. Founded by Jennifer L. Kent, Beach Teepees offers unforgettable beachfront dining experiences that combine the natural beauty of Daytona Beach with a touch of elegance and convenience.

Jennifer L. Kent, a Penn State graduate and former executive in sales and marketing within the food and beverage industry, brings her creativity and passion for the beach to this innovative venture. “Every turn I made my entire career pointed to Florida, somewhere on a beach,” says Kent. “I fell in love with Ormond and Daytona history, the birthplace of speed, racing on the beach, prohibition, rum runners, and mob ties. It was the playground for the rich and famous back in the day. Daytona is doing a lot to revamp the area and recapture its posh history.”

Kent’s inspiration for Beach Teepees stemmed from her desire to create unique, luxurious experiences accessible to everyone. “Not just any idea or service would do. It had to be full-service with a touch of luxury and not for the rich and famous, but for people like us, the average Joes,” Kent explains. Her company, Barefoot Philosophy LLC, launched in 2019 with the mission of offering exceptional beach experiences such as Beach Teepees, Beach Campfires, and Fire Island Luau, making these activities bucket-list must-dos for visitors to Daytona Beach, FL.

Beach Teepees offers an enchanting beachfront dining experience where luxury meets the sea. Located at Daytona Pier and Flagler Ave in New Smyrna, these teepees provide the perfect backdrop for a romantic night under the stars, paired with chef-prepared entrees and stunning ocean views. Imagine arriving at the beach to find a 14-foot teepee, elegantly decorated and ready for an intimate beachside evening for two. This unique experience allows guests to relax and enjoy their time without worrying about any of the details.

Every aspect of the Beach Teepees experience is designed to provide the utmost convenience and luxury. “Booking is easy,” says Kent. “Choose your beach, select your entrees, and simply arrive.” The company’s partnerships with some of the finest restaurants in town ensure that the menu satisfies every palate, offering a diverse selection of gourmet dishes. From the moment guests arrive, they are treated like VIPs, reflecting the company’s belief that everyone deserves a little bit of luxury.

The rise of Beach Teepees coincides with significant redevelopment efforts in Daytona Beach. As new buildings and projects continue to pop up, the Historic District along Beach Street and the beachfront on Atlantic Ave are being revitalized. Beach Teepees is proud to contribute to the area’s resurgence, offering both locals and tourists a unique way to experience the beach and its rich history.

Kent’s vision for Beach Teepees goes beyond providing a service; it’s about creating memories and enhancing the tourism experience in Daytona Beach. “We need more on-the-beach stuff to do!” Kent exclaims. Her enthusiasm for the area and commitment to quality service have made Beach Teepees a standout in the local tourism industry.
