John and Lisa are originally from Northeast Ohio. John has been coming to New Smyrna Beach since the late 70’s when his parents, Tony & Bess bought a condo in The Golden Arms. He would visit Florida every year with his family and relatives, and has many fond memories from their vacations to this wonderful town. John always dreamed of living in Florida from the time he was a kid.
John and Lisa began coming here together in 1998, when they met. They were finally able to call New Smyrna their home in 2014. They purchased the Salty Mermaid Oceanfront Hotel property one year later. After complete renovations, they opened for business in May of 2016.
You can find John and Lisa in the office or on the property on a daily basis, while their daughter Lia attends school. It is very much a family run business, with every member actively involved, making the business a success.
John, Lisa, and Lia love meeting and talking to their guests and the many people that stop by. On weekends, you will see the family out riding around town on bikes, golf carts, or scooters.
They love to shop and eat at the numerous locally owned businesses that line Flagler Avenue to Canal Street. They enjoy supporting all local business and being able to share what is special about each place. It makes for a very enjoyable, relaxed, and laid back beach life, with the bonus of making new friends along the way.
Lisa is a realtor and loves finding the perfect home or second home for anyone who is looking to buy in this area. She plays concierge to the many people passing through that need suggestions on dining, what to do for fun, fishing tours, surfing lessons, farmers markets, flea markets, festivals, art, yoga, skin care, and everything in between.
We look forward to talking to you soon!
John, Lisa, Lia

New and Used Golf Carts. Sales and Service.
Located in the Houston Texas area of League City, our business began in 2003 when we built our own tricked-out street legal golf cart. Before long, many of our friends and neighbors started asking if they could buy our cart or if we would build one for them. Word quickly spread and now we’re customizing, selling, and repairing carts as fast as we get them in and out, with shipping to all 50 states!
Our goal is always to make sure you, our customer, are satisfied!

About Golf Rider

Our Journey
Peachtree City welcomed native Chicagoans, Frank and Patti Kadkhodaian, with open arms in 1997. With their four boys, Armand, Justan, Artemis and Kevan, quickly adapting to life in The Bubble came easy. Golf Rider opened its doors in 1997, and for more than two decades, the company has grown from a one-man, 900-square foot showroom to a fully staffed state-of-the-art facility.
Our Commitment
Golf Rider continues to serve as a platform to echo deep-seated family values the Kadkhodaian’s hold dear to their hearts. As a strong advocate for philanthropy work, the company’s charitable donations reach in the thousands in support of many causes like foster care, education, and cancer research.
