The Beauty of New Smyrna Beach

New Smyrna is a barrier island positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River. The beaches of New Smyrna stretch over 13 miles along the sandy east coast of Central Florida. Water activities abound. New Smyrna is the surfing capital of Florida-- try it yourself or watch the locals ride the big waves near the jetties. Play in the surf, gather seashells, or build a sandcastle with your kids or grandkids. From Ponce de Leon Inlet, you can embark on a great deep-sea fishing adventure. Or choose to stay closer to the shore for excellent flats fishing in Mosquito Lagoon, famous for its redfish.

Though New Smyrna is a small historic town, the city offers a wide selection of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences for both its residents and guests. From beachside burger joints to restaurants serving fresh local seafood, there's something for everyone.

We had a great time at this house ! My family all agreed it was one of the best places we have been! Everything was exactly as advertised. The property managers were wonderful and responded very quickly to any questions that we had. I would recommend this to anyone who has a family that needs plenty of space. The pool area was an extra bonus and was very nice and well kept as well. Thank you so much. We had a great time!Aug 1 2025 Darlene Quillen

House was great and a very short walk from the beach. Great having the pool to relax in after a long day at the beach. Property also had a lot of supplied to bring to the beach including umbrellas, chairs, toys, etc. There was no propane in the tank when we arrived but management co quickly remedied what might have been a disaster since we planned to drill out our first day there.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

We had a wonderful time at Mermaids Playground. The layout of the house was perfect for us when we had family visit the first week we were there. The proximity to the beach was great! Lots of good restaurants were conveniently located. Communication with Great Oceans was always very timely, friendly and courteous. We look forward to our next vacation at Mermaids Playground again.

Great location

We loved our stay at this property. Facility was as described and the location could not have been better. Wish I would have discovered the key to the closet where the beach gear and bikes are stored sooner. Would have been helpful if this was noted in the check-in instructions or the property guidelines.

Awesome Beach Vacation

The house was super clean and had everything you need for a great beach vacation. The backyard with pool was excellent along with an outdoor Sonos system. The house was equipped with all things you need like beach equipment (chairs, bikes, wagon, toys), kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, smart tvs, and even beach towels. The family had a great stay and being only steps from the beach was a huge plus!

How Cozy & Convenient

I love how cozy our unit was, and just steps away from the beach not to mention the private pool. This is definitely a "do over", we're planning on more vacations here.

Beautiful place by the beach

We had a good time celebrating Christmas at the beach as a Family. The property has a beautiful gathering area out back, with a fun heated pool. Plenty of plates, towels and cooking materials. Only complaint I have is that there was no indoor stairs to the upstairs to stay connected to the first floor. It felt a little too divided. Wish I knew that at the time of booking. Still an awesome place to stay with a large group.

There are beach towels!

We had a great stay at mermaids playground. Very close to the beach/town, was perfect for a brisk walk. Although advertised as no beach towels being provided upon arrival we found that there were beach towels from previous guests, which was a great surprise! Heated pool was awesome, would definitely recommend!
