Sea Woods is known throughout the area for its unique and abundant natural appeal, where the developers first hired the landscape architect before anyone else. It boasts over 50 acres of beautiful, lush, native trees and vegetation with nature trails throughout.

Oak Villa, located at the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac, is surrounded by lush oak and palm trees, making for a wonderful tropical jungle-like feeling where you can listen to the birds and the sounds of nature, including at times even the waves down on the beach.
The Villa:
Master bedroom with a nice king size bed and en-suite bathroom;
2nd bedroom with a queen size bed also with en-suite bathroom that is shared by guests;
An open den-room containing a bunk-bed that sleeps 2 (perfect for the kids);
Villa sleeps 6, and one of the leather couches also pulls out into a double bed;
Beautiful enclosed Florida-room with glass walls, bringing the lush outside into the living room.
Fully furnished and functional, with all the conveniences that you would expect, including full kitchen, washer and dryer, TV and entertainment system, FREE INTERNET, linens and bath towels. Very private, lush backyard with patio area and BBQ.
Activities & Attractions in the Area:
The Sea Woods resort community, the town of New Smyrna Beach, and the greater area offers far too many activities, attractions and adventures to list. But here are just a few of our favourites:
Wonderful beaches for swimming, surfing, fishing, walking and driving your car on (only in certain close-by areas - the beach in the Sea Woods area is no-drive, which is a good thing).
Miles of back country wilderness and secluded estuaries awaits you in the Indian River Intracoastal Waterway System where you can kayak or boat and experience world-class fishing (it is known as the red-fish capital of the world), go bird-watching or simply enjoy being on the water. See dolphin and manatee up close.
Golfing and Tennis - in addition to playing tennis on 1 of the 4 lighted courts at Sea Woods, just steps away from the villa, you will find 7 great golf courses in the immediate New Smyrna Beach area.
Pamper yourself at one of the many Day Health Spas in the area, where you can spoil yourself to massages, facials, manicures and pedicures and more. Arts & Culture is a very strong feature of New Smyrna Beach. The city consistently ranks among the finest in books like 'The 100 Best Small Art Towns in America: Where to Discover Creative Communities, Fresh Air and Affordable Living' by John Villani.
Then there are river cruises, take the water taxi to Ponce Inlet where you can climb the historic light house, go for day hikes or explore one of the many parks in the area. The Canaveral National Seashore, a 57,000 acre national park nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, is one of the longest stretches of pristine coastline in the US, and is just south of New Smyrna Beach, literally on your doorstep.
A little known fact is that New Smyrna Beach holds the distinction of being the 2nd oldest city in North America, though some historians believe it to be older than St. Augustine (which is just a couple hours north). Learn all about it at the New Smyrna Museum of History.

A Month by the Sea

I had the rare opportunity to spend "a month by the sea" and Oak Villa was the PERFECT place to do so! The owners, Eugene and Jules, were wonderful and prompt in communication and in describing/presenting Oak Villa. The villa itself was absolutely perfect. A short walk to the ocean - an even shorter walk to the pool - and the tropical setting surrounding the villa allows for a beautiful view even in the September rains. We could not ask for a more quiet and peaceful - relaxing and rejuvenating - tranquil and refreshing place to have spent "a month by the sea" - ~ the villa's accommodations are clean and well-maintained ~ the owners are extremely helpful and prompt in their communication ~ the location is perfect for beach lovers and sightseeing - close to all that New Smyrna Beach and the surrounding areas have to offer We will be back! Thank you Eugene and Jules for creating such a lovely haven!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing.

The Oak Villa is so much more than the pictures and the website can convey. The Villa was so refreshing and relaxing, just the place to go to recharge. The kitchen is well appointed and the whole house is well equipped. The furnishings and decor are perfect for a beach get-away. The grounds are like a tropical garden with quiet, private seating areas. The owners were very helpful and have a large, information book with lots of places to visit in FL.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing.

"My parents loved their vacations and want to come back next year if they are well. By the way where did you buy your wooden toucan (in the corner by TV)? They fell in love with it and want to have one of their own. :) Thank you again for having them. They keep saying that they liked it better then cruises and resorts as it felt like home away from home."Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I live 15 miles from the Oak Villa and rented it for my parents who were visiting all the way from Moscow, Russia. I made my decision based on the pictures but the reality exceeded expectations. Quite, well kept, beautiful place with well equipped kitchen. My parents enjoyed the nature: ocean, mature oak trees, lots of shady paths. Great, friendly owners.Recommended for: Age 55+.

The Villa is beautiful, quiet, well equipped. The beds are comfortable with good linens, (master is low but comfortable) plenty of towels with a wonderful en suite bathroom, walk in twin head shower. The kitchen has GREAT pots and pans, a fast flat top stove (fr a Natural gas stove owner) and a good size fridge with freezer. Lots of dishes and glasses. The property is well maintained with maintenance people coming every week to make sure leaves are gone and shrubs are trimmed. Sea Woods is an awesome community people are somewhat older but have their young family visit, thus the complex itself is pretty quiet. The entire Sea Woods Village is set in an Oak forest with paths for walking and the Villa is set in a prime location within that forest. Its pools & other amenities are good, with only 1 of the 3 pools heated in the colder months that is a bit of draw back but only minor, they were never busy during our stay. (Nov & Dec) We bike and the beach, paths and area could not be better. Will we return, YES. If there was any draw backs it would be that there is no internet and only basic cable and a very basic TV, if that is not a need then this is a place to consider. Maybe I shouldn't say this cause then it may not be available when we would like to come back. :) Eugene is wonderful to work with and very accommodating. I have told him if I had the money and was in the Market to buy I would be after him to sell it to me..Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities.
Owner response: Thanks for the nice review Marlie - we hope to see you guys come back next year. We are always looking to improve Oak Villa for ourselves and our guests. We have since upgraded the TV with a nice new flat screen TV and sound system! :)

About the owner: Thank you for visiting our site. We are Eugene & Julie Theron, and we are the fortunate guardians of Oak Villa, a true little slice of heaven. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and love to travel the world and experience the many diverse cultures and beautiful places and people that this wonderful world has to offer. Of all the amazing places we have been, one of our absolute favorite things to do is to go down to New Smyrna Beach for a relaxing beach vacation, and to rejuvenate in the magic of Oak Villa, where it always feels like we become one with the surrounding Live Oak trees, where meditative thoughts and casual conversations swirl together with remarkable ease. We are engaged in many activities and ventures, and are constantly striving to do good deeds and to live our lives in peace, joy and harmony, loving one another and our friends and family, as well as other people in our lives. Nothing gives us greater joy than to help someone in need, or to give something just for the sake of giving, or to share something special with someone deserving, or to share love and happiness, especially with people that are lonely, sick, underprivileged, needy or otherwise struggling or less fortunate in life. We try to have the basic principals of LOVE underscore everything we do, while treating others with absolute respect and compassion. This brings meaning into our own lives. We hope to get to know you, and to welcome you into Oak Villa.
Why the Owner Chose Sea Woods:
This is a sad but beautiful story. In 1997, while my brother was battling cancer, we wanted a special place for the whole family to spend some quality time together. We chose New Smyrna Beach, and rented a great house on the river, surrounded by beautiful live oaks. We used to go for walks, down to the beach, or along the many pathways through the tropical vegetation. We discovered Sea Woods, this amazing and unique community, and all of us instantly fell in love with it. Julie and I immediately started looking for a place to purchase, and just months before my brother's death, we were able to close on Oak Villa. The good news is that we were able to spend some magical time together in Oak Villa prior to his passing. We always remember our beloved brother when we visit Oak Villa.
