  Nice, Spacious & clean condo. Well equipped. We've spent good time to this condo and surroundings of New Smyrna Beach. We already told friends and family to contact the owner for their next vacations.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

  I'm reluctant to share the excellence of this place for fear that I could never find another available time slot for myself, so I'll just mention that Jan, the owner and hostess, is extremely professional and was very concerned with my satisfaction. Even before I arrived she was sending me tailored events and current opportunities that most visitors would never know about. An example of her kindness was that after I arrived and mentioned I was pleased with her internet connection and huge flat screen TV, and that back home I enjoyed streaming my Netflix, without my asking and within an hour, she had the Internet speed cranked up to more than I needed for streaming. Very considerate! Did I mention that when I arrived I found the condo, not clean, but immaculate? Even the oven, refrigerator, and the convection toaster oven was spotless and crumbless (is that a real word?). Silverware, wine glasses and the pots and pans were even sparkling without dishwasher haze. The bedding is all new (king size as well) with "pillow top" and more padding. With the finest quality cotton sheets (and a cool ocean breeze and the song birds doing their sunrise symphony) you wake refreshed to another sunny day in paradise. When I departed, I left the condo reasonably in the condition I found it and almost immediately found my security deposit returned to me in full. No problem there, at all. My only disappointment was the fact that in her pictures of the condo, Jan shows the front balcony with a table dressed with an uncorked fine bottle of wine and a plate of croissants. Sadly, the wine and plate on the balcony were not waiting for me when I arrived, but after a conveniently quick jaunt to the nearby Publix supermarket, that issue was quickly resolved. Yes, paradise has magnificent sunsets and bountiful Merlot.

  Owner response: Makes me so happy when my guests are happy! I appreciate your kind words and I hope you will return again to my special little corner of paradise. Jan

  My family and I were very pleased with our stay at this condo. It was very well maintained and furnished as was depicted through the on-line pictures and descriptions of the unit. The master bedroom balcony gave wonderful views of the sunsets while the living room balcony captured cool breezes from the ocean. The views were spectacular. Three generations shared the rental and it gave us plenty of room to enjoy some privacy or share family time together. It was in a quiet area, but still within a few minutes walk to the beach or drive to shopping, the movie theater or other attractions. Jan, the condo owner, was very helpful in answering any questions we had and supplied many brochures to nearby attractions, activities and restaurants. Our family would highly recommend this condo for your trip to New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

  My partner from New Zealand cam for a visit during our year apart. I wanted to show him genuine Florida hospitality and beaches to rival NZ. He was not disappointed. I let him pick from a number of sites in the area. He chose this condo and was even more impressed upon arrival. We loved the open layout, the big shower, the two patios to choose from. He would have loved the big screen TV but we were enjoying New Smyrna, Canaveral seashore and Flagler far too much to even think about watching TV. The local hospitality and friendliness of New Smyrna were the likes of which he has never seen. The little things like the Food Lion discount card were much appreciated on our NZ dollar. He continues to rave about the place and his trip. Thanks, Jan.

  My family and I stayed here for two weeks and enjoyed the quite relaxation. The condo is beautifully decorated and spacious. The private balcony and sitting area in the master bedroom was my favorite. It was perfect for reading. The complex is large and well kept and very pet friendly. My children took advantage of the easy access of signing out tennis rackets. Pamphlets of local restaurants with menus made it easy deciding where to eat. The garage was also appreciated especially on rainy or hot days.

  I rented this condo from June 29th to July 8th. I paid a cleaning fee and security deposit. I only received a portion back because the condo was not spotless when I left. I was told that there were hand prints on the patio door, didn't replace the laundry soap or paper towels ( brought my own), Master bathtub was dirty, sand in the condo (no vaccum cleaning so unable to clean it all up), left butter dish in microwave with butter in it, blue bath towel faded because I took it to the beach (brought own beach towels and never took any to beach. I never realized that I had to clean the condo before I left as I was charged a cleaning fee. I own my own cleaning business and I have rented homes and condos before on this website and have never had any problems before. Be careful when renting from this owner as you may lose your security deposit.. I thought that the security deposit would be for any damages not for cleaning. Next time I will take pictures when I arrive. I also found no vaccum cleaner, no toaster, no phone. On the websit on homeaway it says the patio is screened.. It is not screened. You need it to be screened otherwise you can't sit outside at nightime because of the bugs. I would not recommend this property for kids.

  Recommended for: Age 55+

  Owner response: I have rented my condo to hundreds of guests, and this is the first negative comment I have ever received. The same guest did leave a nice note in the guest book, saying how much they loved the condo. This is only the second time I have not refunded the whole security deposit. Unfortunately, they left my condo a shambles (there was a bedwetter, stains on furniture, mattresses off frames; too many problems to detail here) which required 7 hours of cleaning; the security deposit covers a normal 4-hour cleaning, as clearly stated in the contract. My web site descriptions and welcome letter all state that there is no phone and requests that guests bring cell phones. There is a toaster oven instead of a toaster. The vacuum cleaner happened to be out for repairs during the week of this guest's stay, but there was a broom and dustpan, and a foot rinsing station outside the building to remove sand, which most guests use. Regarding no screened patio, the guest is correct and I am glad this was brought to my attention. That information was updated last year at both my Homeaway and vrbo websites when the screening was removed from the small back patio off the master bedroom. I was surprised to find that the Homeaway site had a master bedroom description that still said that the small back patio was screened, and that has been corrected. The condo is on the 4th floor so insects are rarely a problem at that height, and the views are better without the screens. I provide all guests with a detailed contract and check out instructions which if followed will result in a complete refund of a security deposit. I take great pleasure in providing a clean, luxurious beach getaway for my guests to enjoy, and I appreciate my many, many wonderful guests that have treated my condo with care and come back again and again.

  My husband, our little Yorkie, Gracie, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jan's place! First of all, she could not have been more accommodating from the first inquiry I sent to the last email she sent after we left. She offered her assistance all along as we were planning our trip. When we arrived, we just fell in love with the condo! So pretty! Decorated with alot of taste and class yet very homey and comfortable. We had never been to New Smyrna and we loved that area, as well. However, we spent alot of our time at the condo, the pools, walking, etc. and we totally enjoyed ourselves. The people who work around the condo grounds were also very nice and helpful. We plan to return and would highly recommend this property to all! Thank you, Jan, for your hospitality!

  Owner response: It is my pleasure to be of help in any way I can to make sure your visit is enjoyable. I look forward to welcoming you and Gracie back again!

  This is a really spacious, well appointed property. New Smyrna Beach is a great spot and this location is perfect. The grounds and pools are very well maintained. The beach across the street is perfect for walking, admiring the beach front homes, etc. A visitor never runs out of places to eat. We can't say enough good things about our stay.

  This condo is the Best condo in New Smyrna. It has everything-open, roomy, comfortable plus decorated very pretty. All the things you need are there, very well maintained & clean. A great pool area with exercise equipment. We reserved the movie theater, lots of fun. You can get umbrellas, beach chairs & sports equipment by simply reserving them (free). Lots of things to do in New Smyrna, go to Canerval Seashore as a must-clean quite beaches. We liked JBs Fish Camp to eat. Also try the Water Taxi or Eco tours. Jan was great to work with, made our visit a perfect getaway. We highly recommend this condo - Six from Texas

  This condo is uniquely located in the Oceanwalk Resort, set farthest back from the road and is very quiet. I enjoyed the sunrise looking both at the ocean to the southeast and the birds over the nature preserve to the west, and the sunsets were glorious. The beach is one of the best in South Florida, wide and clean. New Smyrna Beach is a charming "old Florida" town with opportunities to shop local boutiques and enjoy local dining, especially seafood.
