First, the house is on the beach so that we can wake up to sunrise every morning.Second, the house is large enough that the 11 of us can be together in the main room and kitchen area, or we can have sufficient space for time alone in the large, well-furnished bedrooms.
Right on the beach, house is great size with a space downstairs for the teens to hang out. The kitchen has everything we needed. The house is a little older, but in good shape inside. We hope to visit again!
The location and parking were great. It was close to shopping and restaurants. The house was adequately stocked with dishes and linens. There were a few areas of the house that could have been cleaner but overall it was acceptable. The whole family enjoyed our vacation in NSB.
Great spot for New Smyrna Beach. View is incredible, and we all enjoyed an 8 night trip.

This property was perfect in spacing and is my favorite location on New Smyrna Beach. We all enjoyed the access to the ocean, walking to the jetty, Breakers and Flagler Avenue.
The house was perfect for our extended family vacation. Access to the beach was great, loved the patio and rocking chairs, and appreciated a fully stocked kitchen. Also had a one year old with us who just learned to walk so we really appreciated the baby gates at the top of the steps.
Our family of 8 with 2 seniors and 1 pre-teen had a great stay at this house. Nice beach access, close to everything. We would return here.

Overall a great stay, highly recommend! There were a few hiccups (WiFi modem/router wasn’t working and we needed to have a new one mailed to the house; the owner was great about arranging everything for that!), she got back to us very quickly! A few maintenance needs, but nothing that significantly affected our stay. Great views from the ocean-facing windows!
Dear William-
We love when our guests have an easy-breezy time here at our oceanfront oasis. We are so glad you and your party had such a great time at the Grey Whale, and we hope to see you all again soon for another five-star stay!

The house is in a great location. Nice walk to Flagler and beautiful views right out back. Plenty of room for our group of 10. Natasja was easy to communicate with and very helpful during our stay. We would definitely consider staying here again if we return to NSB.

Nice location right on the beach. Vehicles will be driving on the beach in front of the house, so be aware of that. Had some trouble with washer, dryer, and dishwasher but made do. Overall a nice time!
