It's hard to say enough good things about this property and the experience of staying here. It looked great online but you never really know with theses things until you actually get there. We were really wowed with the location, the amenities, the condition of the property and the Owner was great as well the one time we needed to ask a question about something.
My family has been staying in New Smyrna from time to time for over 35 years. This was the coolest place we've ever rented.
Start with the fact that many condos and homes are dated and worn, and the ones that are rehabbed are sometimes done on-the-cheap. It's fine, but they look like a rental. Not this. It was done as if the Owner was going to live there himself. Thoughtful upgrades and things you don't normally find in this price point like large showers with an overhead rain shower head, large bedrooms, custom lighting etc. The kitchen is huge, contemporary, and all of it added to the overall comfort and aesthetics of our time there. The fact it was well appointed with all the towels, kitchen items, etc we needed goes without saying.
The location is amazing - right in the heart of the town just a few houses away from the beach, walking distance to the high end restaurants, walking / biking distance the other direction to Flagler Ave and all the shops and food there. It makes you feel like a local in this lovely town. The only way this could have been better would be if the house sat right on the beach, but then it would cost about 5x as much.
This place feels like home, and if you are like my wife and me, staying here will make you daydream about moving there permanently!
