Holiday Stay
I was there between December 22 and December 24, 2024. Unfortunately, the drive to New Smyrna took longer that I had anticipated and I arrived at night. I had to call for help finding the door and using the lock box and I was helped over the phone by Corrine and in person by Ian. They have an "awesome" housekeeper as well. The place has a perfect location in a charming neighborhood close to the beach. The beach was a great place to take walks. There are no long boardwalks or stairs on the beach and the sand was firming packed down making walking along the shore a true pleasure. There are cars on the beach, but the road is well controlled and maximum speed is 10 mph. Drivers were friendly and waved as they drove by. There was also a life guard one day. The place is comfy for one person and well equipped. It is a historic building that is very well kept. Almost everything in the living area is painted. There's a small kitchen area with counters and a sink well stocked for one or two people in a hotel-like stay. Bathroom has been remodeled for modern day users with a small shower, etc. I would recommend the stay for short stays and solo travelers. There's a nice garden area for outdoor access and a deck with chairs.
