This was our family’s first trip to New Smyrna Beach, as we have been going to St. Augustine for years (and places on the Gulf before that). We were thankful to find this pet friendly unit that accepted our two dogs which are both over 20 lbs. The condo was clean and had ample lounging space in the living room—sometimes that’s hard to find. There were plenty of linens available, including numerous beach towels. The master bed was firmer than what we are used to, but that’s a common and understandable occurrence in rentals. One thing to note is that the complex’s access to the beach is not just by crossing the street, but rather by walking to the other end of the complex from this unit and crossing the street. However, the walk was a bit shorter than other places we have stayed and very manageable. We found three chairs, a beach wagon, some sand toys, and a baby tent in the front closet available for our use, though we ended up only using the one very sturdy chair. Our only complaint about our trip is that St. Augustine is a pet-friendly beach throughout, and this beach only has one area that is pet-friendly. However, we went to numerous pet-friendly restaurants while there—including Third Wave, my favorite.
