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.

Everything was in working order and as expected! The location was great, very close to the beach. The air conditioner worked well, the beds were comfy, the pool was in great shape. All around. We had a great experience and I believe it is priced well! We would definitely go back again.

This was the perfect location for our family. Just steps to the beach and a heated pool. We really enjoyed our stay. The second floor master bedroom was a little light at night due to the street light outside, but we had a wonderful time.

It's always our goal to provide our guests with a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Although the layout worked well for our group, we were surprised to find out it was actually a duplex with a separate entrance to the upper unit and each unit had two bedrooms. It had two separate small kitchens and living rooms. Perhaps I just didn’t read the description closely enough? The single kitchen on the lower level was barely large and equipped well enough for 6 people (which was the size of our group). But a larger group would be hard pressed to serve everyone from a single kitchen. The outdoor space was glorious and we spent a lot of time there as the ocean was acting up with wind, waves, and seaweed. A great place overall.

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.

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.
