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.

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..

Thank you for opening your home to us. Say hi to the friendly possum (or is it a racoon?) - the one with the striped tail - from us. He tried to come in, but we did not oblige :-) Thanks and our best wishes!!

This was our second stay at The Villa. We have a family of four and this place is great! We have stayed in a lot of Condos and hotels in my 20+ years of coming to New Smyrna Beach. This property is by far the nicest. The owners are very accomidating and always within telephone reach. The wildlife, the pools, tennis, beaches and fishing are always excellent! Thanks for sharing your home away from from home!

We love your wonderful villa; the multiple windows bring in the light & the view from each window is truly like a tropical garden! We love the showers - great water pressure!! :-) Your villa is one of the best places we have stayed in any other parts of Fla. The open spacious floor plan is great. It is a peaceful, beautiful, and very comfortable retreat. Thank you for sharing!

We loved our stay. The surroundings & amenities where perfect. My daughter spotted a bobcat traveling through the yard. It was awesome! The house was cozy & had everything we needed. The patio out back was like sitting in a bird sanctuary! Thanks so much!

Your villa is awesome & made our stay pleasant. The sun porch reminded us of our native town with the plantation around us. It was truly relaxing, great neighbours, friendly people & lovely beach. Thanks!

We just spent XMas week '07 at our villa, getting it ready for the tenants. We recently purchased the villa (Fall '07), and have been enjoying getting it furnished and established as a dream vacation getaway. We live in the Bay Area in California, and just love coming down to New Smyrna Beach to enjoy the beach, the waterways, the weather, the villa and the very special community of Sea Woods, and everything else that New Smyrna has to offer - way to many things to mention here. We hope you find what you are looking for, and if you like what you see in our villa, we encourage you to contact us and start a dialogue. We'd be happy to answer any questions you might have, or provide additional information. Most importantly, whatever you do, we hope you have a great time! Eugene & Julie Theron (owners)
