Southwind Condominiums:
The Southwind, located on the non-driving portion of New Smyrna Beach, is an 11-story oceanfront condo equipped with tennis/basketball courts, shuffleboard courts, a beautiful grass lawn, and a gated oceanfront pool. The complex, built in 1980, has 55 individual two- and three-bedroom condos. Each condo is equipped with a washer and dryer. Be warned- once you stay here, you'll want to come back again and again. The Southwind, known as "one of the best buildings on the beach," has recently undergone a $1 Million renovation. A state-of-the-art entry gate system has just been installed, making this one of only a few facilities on New Smyrna Beach with restricted, gated access. The oceanfront pool is seasonally heated, and you'll find plenty of lounge chairs, both inside the gated pool deck and out on the beachfront sun deck as well. In addition, high-speed wireless internet access is now available for all guests so you can stay connected to the outside world while listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean waves. Follow the sidewalk to the beach access stairs and take in the panoramic Atlantic Ocean view.

Area Attractions:

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.

The condo was great! The location and views were amazing! The limited use of the lounge area with pool tables was disappointing as we couldn’t use the area most days because it was rented for private events.

We have stayed at this complex 6 times. This condo was the most basic. No double sinks. No ceiling fans. Stated completely updated. Not as nice as any of the other 5 we stated in previously. Bed was way too soft for us. Will not stay in this particular unit again.
