We had a wonderful time! The house is beautiful inside- very large and great common area to hang out, eat, and enjoy. The balcony is great- I was surprised to have a bit of a beach view. The back gate from the pool patio made beach access super easy! And the agent that helped us, Natasja, went far above expectations to be helpful to us before, during, and after our stay!

Family Reunion at NSB

We met as a family, coming from California, Tennessee and North Carolina. This group grew up summering together in NSB, but hadn't done so in 15 years. This house provided the perfect place to gather together, reminisce on the past, and make new memories together. Everyone enjoyed the privacy of their own room, but ample space to all gather together on the many porches, shared space, great pool, and easy access to the beach.

Hi Lori, I appreciate you bringing to my attention that there were not enough bath towels available for your party, and only wish you had reached out during your stay when you discovered this issue so I could have corrected it for you. The housekeeping crew typically leaves out enough for every guest and stores the remaining under lock and key in the owners closet. We would have been more than happy to mend this situation and make sure you had more than enough, and I do apologize that neither of us caught this prior to your arrival and are only hearing about it now. I'm also sorry you did not see in the written property description that Barefoot Bliss is on the drive-portion of the beach. It is, in fact, described as such, and had you inquired with any questions in advance I am always more than happy to clarify. I'm glad to hear you had a nice time nonetheless and enjoyed your stay at Barefoot Bliss. Sincerely, Natasja - Turtle Town NSB Vacation Rentals

We traveled with another Family and stayed here! We were greeted by Natasi, she showed us around the house. The house was clean, and had everything we needed for the week! It was so spacious and everyone was very comfortable! The beach was a very close walk from the house and the views were spectacular! Very close drive to downtown! The only down side was pool. It was not heated and small. Not a ton of outdoor space, but we made do! We would recommend this house to anyone coming to New Symrna!

Fabulous Family property

The three-story house is located in a quiet beach town. The beach is accessed by going out a gate, walking around a corner, and over a cute bridge. The beach goes for miles and is perfect for running, walking, and driving (do what the locals do). The house has everything a family could need. Several decks, fire pit, lap pool, arcade room, TVs in the bedrooms, great beds, large gathering space, two laundry rooms, large table and island in the kitchen, two ovens, fully stocked kitchen... The property manager, Natasja, was always on call and quick with a reply when we needed her help.

Horrible owners

Beautiful home, poor owners. The property management company was very responsive and helpful….however the owners of the property were absolutely not. The AC was not functioning properly. It was 78 deg the first night and 82 deg the second night then back to 78 deg. On the third night. I made the property management company aware of the situation on the second evening due of the severe fluctuations in the temperature. I thought maybe the first day was due to us cooking and the oven holding heat in the home. But I was wrong. The AC was repaired four days into our trip. The home is not equipped to be without air-conditioning. There were only two fans out of the 9 rooms. On the second night in the middle of the night we found one of the babies lying on the landing in the middle of the night without a shirt on. When we awoke her she told her that was the coolest spot in the house and she was hot. My husband along with my good friends husband spent over two hours at Walmart and target looking for large fans to place in the rooms. We bought 4 of them. I live in Florida and understand preparing a home for hurricanes, electrical outages and of course no AC. This home at the end of July in 95 degree heat was not at all prepared for not having AC. The pool was extremely dirty as soon as we arrived. When the pool man came on the day prior to us leaving, he told us he had to shock the pool due to the amount of dirt and not for us to get in it for 12 hours. Due to being miserable for the first three nights I requested some kind of reimbursement or compensation….I was told that IF we rebooked next year we would get a free night??!! I would not rebook here ever again It’s a shame because I live in Florida and I to own rental property…. If anything like this would have ever happened I would ensure that my guests left happy despite the experience. It would just be the right thing to do. It is unfortunate that these owners give this property management company a bad name.
Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug, 2021
Dear Erin, I just wanted to reiterate- as I did during your stay- how very sorry I am that the AC went out during the time that you spent at Barefoot Bliss. That being said, as the owner of the property management company, Turtle Town Vacation Rentals, it is my responsibility to mediate between the guest, and the homeowner. I have no control over how the homeowner chooses to compensate a guest when there has been an issue during their stay. The best that I can do is convey the situation, make recommendations, and from there, the homeowner makes the decision at their discretion. Regardless, I understand your frustration, but I do not feel it is right for you to exaggerate the truth on the matter. You did not go without AC for 4 days; it was 2 at best. You did not contact me regarding the air conditioning trouble until your second day- Monday late evening way after hours, I believe 9:15 pm. I still proceeded to call several different air-conditioning companies who market themselves as 24 hours, none of which were available to come out that night. I am at the mercy of their availability. You hadn’t told me about the issue the first day, so by the morning of the third day, Tuesday morning, we had somebody scheduled. Unfortunately, you reported that the ac started working fine early Tuesday morning, at 4:30 am, and that you would keep an eye on it and let me know if anything changed. Therefore, we canceled the scheduled technician. I assumed everything was fine until you contacted me, again after normal business hours, late Tuesday night at approximately, 5:35 pm, to inform me that the AC stopped working again. I proceeded to call all the companies we normally deal with, as well as the advertised 24/7 companies, but again no one would come out until the following day, Wednesday. Again, I know how terrible another night with no AC must have been. But we can only react as quickly as when we hear there is an issue. We are not an AC company. We are at the mercy of their availability. The homeowners decided that you would not be compensated unless you rebooked, because they felt like we handled everything in a timely manner. Regarding you purchasing $200 worth of fans the second night; That is a misleading statement. We talked the day after you purchased those fans and I told you that my company, Turtle Town Vacation Rentals, would purchase those fans from you, so that you did not have an out-of-pocket expense for something that was also out of your control. It’s disheartening to see that you leave this part out of your story. My company fully refunded you the $200 for those the day you checked out, after we discussed it and I was under the impression you were leaving them. Unfortunately for me, upon your departure, we could not find the fans anywhere. I guess that was my misunderstanding, thinking you would leave the fans, as I purchased them from you. I hope you realize; I own and operate a small business. We do not take a large percentage for bookings, so this was a major pay cut to myself. I take my job very seriously; I try very hard to make sure every guest has a positive experience. I am sorry this happened during your stay, but again I can only remedy the situation upon hearing about it. And then I am at the mercy of the repair company, as are the homeowners. Also, I would like to point out that in the rental agreement you signed to rent this property, it clearly states the following; “Management cannot guarantee performance and operation of amenities or appliances including but not limited to TVs, AC/heating units, fireplaces, ice-makers, pools and spas, etc. NO COMPENSATION OR REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN FOR MECHANICAL & APPLIANCE FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS.” Therefore, No compensation should be expected by a guest if this occurs during their stay. Since we handled everything in a timely manner, as best we could with the information we were given, the homeowner decided to offer the free night with another booking. If this property were run down, and not well maintained, I could see that you have a valid argument for some kind of compensation. However, that is not the case. These homeowners take great care in the maintenance of their home. I completely understand that your stay was dissatisfactory and I do apologize on behalf of Turtle Town, however we did the best that we could to mend the situation with the resources that we have. I do not feel as though it has given my company a bad name, and I do apologize that it was your takeaway. We manage multiple homes in the area and we pride ourselves on our customer service and satisfaction to the best of our ability. Again, what each individual homeowner decides to do, is at their discretion and not ours. I wish that you had not reflected so poorly on all the attention and efforts and compensation my company provided personally for you. Sincerely, Natasja - Turtle Town Vacation Rentals

Post Wedding Bliss with Family

This property exceeded our expectations. We were a little worried because the property is one road back from the beach and on the main ATLANTIC AVE, but this turned out not to be an issue, as the main social floor is on the 3rd floor with nice ocean views, and we never heard any the street noise. The property is really well located, being a 2-3 minute walk to the beach, and just over a mile to downtown Flagler ave. There are also some good restaurants around, the NSB Baker's Table, being our favorite (walkable, 1/2 mile away). This area of the beach is also less crowded, which was a blessing as it was Spring Break. The home itself is a spacious 3-story home, that is well laid out, and easily accommodated our extended family. The property is well appointed, comfortable. Our only gripes were the outdoor grill and the absence of gear & toys for the beach. The property manager was excellent, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. Overall, we had great "family" time, and the weather was fantastic! We would definetly recommend this property for a larger family.

It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again soon for another five-star stay at Barefoot Bliss. Sincerely, Natasja - Turtle Town Vacation Rentals

Lovely Home/Would Definitely Recommend

The home was exactly what the Natasja had on the description. She meet with us on check in time and explained everything about the house plus had instructions about the A/C everywhere. I would recommend this home to anyone that wants a beautiful home and perfect location to stay in while at the beach with family and/or friends.

Perfect

This house was amazing! We came down for speedweeks with the race team, the house is beautiful and laid out perfectly for separate families to have their own space. There are even sand & water toys for the kids. The beach is literally a 2 minute walk from the house! We had a minor hiccup with the air conditioner, it was user error and they had somebody at the house within an hour to get it fixed (nobody read through the binder until I got there several days later which clearly states how to use it properly to keep it from failing). The property manager is super responsive and really easy to work with. The house is beautiful and in the perfect location!

Hello Gene, Barefoot Bliss is not pet-friendly, with the exception of service animals when management is notified in advance. The cleaning company used for this home is very diligent. If they miss anything at all- and we are notified of it- the cleaning crew can come back immediately and resolve the issue. When you did bring this to my attention a couple of days after check-in, you asked that I not call them to come back and get whatever they overlooked, stating that there wasn't much and it wasn't a big issue and that you'd just wanted to bring it to my attention. I did notify housekeeping for future guests regardless and I appreciated you letting me know. I only wish you would have allowed them to come back and resolve the issue on the spot, as it bothered you enough to only highlight this one hiccup during your time here with us. I do apologize that this detail knocked a star off your stay, and hope you choose to come visit for a five star experience again soon. Sincerely, Natasja - Turtle Town Vacation Rentals

Best house ever!

Every year my family (husband, son and his family and daughter and her family) have a beach vacation together. Barefoot Bliss was the best house we’ve ever rented. The house, the pool, the location, and the ocean view made it a week to remember. And Natasja was wonderful to work with!

A permanent resident since 2009, I will be your 'local' who helps find that perfect rental property at the beach, a trendy restaurant, and the best spots to visit on a short stay. Vacation memories are priceless so I work very hard to ensure you have a great experience! If you've already been to NSB then we both know why you want to return. If this is your first visit, be prepared to fall in love with the most charming, friendly, relaxed, and beautiful beach town you can imagine.

Why they chose this property

Barefoot Bliss is the ideal vacation oasis for your next getaway. This beautiful 3 story property is the perfect destination to sit back, relax, and kick up those barefoot feet. With ocean views from the upper levels, this home is one lot away from the sandy shoreline. Less than a 2 minute stroll to the beach, and under 2 miles away from Flagler Avenue- the mecca of New Smyrna, this property is the ideal destination to relax between all the wonderful activities this buzzing beach town has to offer. You can enjoy everything from building sandcastles to surfing, shopping and dining all in a matter of minutes. After a long day of fun in the sun, you can relish a glass of wine or icy beverage by the private firepit or soak in the cooling swimming pool on site. There's nothing better than walking up from a relaxing day on the beach to your very own freshwater showers, snacks, and a quick power nap to refresh you for the evening's activities. Barefoot Bliss is located in a tranquil district of the town to ensure your stay is as luxurious as it is lively. With 6 bedrooms, this home is the optimal space to bring family and friends together without feeling on top of each other. The elevator enables easy access to all 3 levels of the home for everyone from ages three to one-hundred-three! The open-floor plan at top level of Barefoot Bliss featuring a massive living, dining, and kitchen space is by far the best destination to enjoy good food, good company, and great ocean views all from the comfort of an air-conditioned oasis.

What makes this property unique

Barefoot Bliss is a beacon with beautiful ocean view balconies. From 3 stories up guests can watch the sunrise over the Atlantic, search for dolphins surfacing in the shoreline, and spectate the sailboats on the horizon. You can even see the NASA rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center from here!

Open the windows or step out on the spacious balconies to feel the sun on your face, the salty breeze, listen to the gulls coo to the tempo of the water lapping the shore, fully immersing your senses in the serenity that is New Smyrna Beach. With the best views at the top, the elevator enables easy access for all- to every level of this holiday hangout. This home also features a whole-house generator that automatically kicks on if one of Florida's infamous afternoon showers rolls through and tries to take the power out! The lights stay on and the festivities don't stop for anything here at Barefoot Bliss. The calm after the swift summer storms is the ideal time to light the fire pit up and enjoy a beverage by the pool. A private salt water lap pool is fenced in the facility for those days where the wind or ocean water is less agreeable. It is a great way to let the kids swim without a worry about waves or a run in with sea life. A dip in the pool at Barefoot Bliss is a great way to get some laps in and exercise or simply to cool off on a hot summers day, just a few paces from a fresh-water shower. Please note this is not a heated pool.

After a long day in the salt water everyone can take a long rejuvenating rinse, thanks to the tankless water heater - hot water never runs out at Barefoot Bliss. This home was designed for big families with good friends and great company. Because of this, Barefoot Bliss accommodates up to 4 vehicles so there's plenty of parking for everyone. In fact, a portion of this parking available is fenced-in as an amenity to accommodate trailer or boat parking as well! Here at Barefoot Bliss, space & luxury are abundant to all.
