New Smyrna
We came down for the Daytona 500. It was the perfect place for 4 of us. The only minor complaint is it either needs an outlet in the small bathroom or a mirror in the second bedroom. Like I said…minor. Other than that it was great! Kim was very nice and responded quickly to any questions.

Absolutely wonderful rental beautifully decorated amazing pool. Wonderful caretaker absolutely perfect. Kim was amazing very attentive very helpful with local attractions. This is the second time. I’ve stayed on this property and my family and I will be back time and time again the pool is amazing. The house is beautiful it is so spacious. We stayed with five people and had a blast, I will continue to go to this property. The beds are so comfortable. The kitchen is so spacious with the separate laundry as well. We only had to pack for a couple of days. The shopping is great in this area, so are the nature tours and the beach you’re so close, but yet out of the hubbub , I recommend this property to single families as well as anyone else. Looking to stay in the new Smyrna area.

Listing doesn’t represent the property accurately
Upon arrival I was extremely disappointed in the overall appearance of this unit . In font of the house that appears to be poorly added on top was an older camper within feet from our door along beside an old outbuilding in a not so nice neighborhood. I never even went inside I was so disappointed with the exterior and surroundings. I found a beach front condo larger than this unit through a local vacation rental agency that was the same price as this unit. The owner was kind enough to refund the cleaning fee and non usage of power.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Jun 2023
Sorry this guest said he wanted to be in a beach front condo. It states in the description this property is 3.5 miles from the beach. The photos in the VBRO ad are exactly as this popular Pool House looks today. Not sure what "font of house appears to be poorly added" Means. All photos are on the VBRO ad. There is a modern large RV parked about 25' Away next to our newly painted lawn equipment shed. which is in good condition. As far as " not so nice neighborhood" There is virtually no crime in the quiet neighborhood. We have never had any Guest incidents for the last 15yrs. Unfortunately this guest didn't even checkout the inside of the house or pool. They were determined to be on the beach. Every one has there own opinions on everything. We tried to accommodate them with there issues but they already rented a beach condo. We gave them back cleaning fees, pet fee and a unused electrical fee to try to be fair since they didn't stay. All i can say is we cant please everyone and beware of what you are renting ahead of time. New renters look at all the reviews and make a good decision based on the majority not one or 2 that will never be happy. We try to offer a great value for the price you pay on VRBO. We wish our former (Almost) guests the best in there travels.

Came from Indiana for girls week and grandsons wedding. The house is a bit dated but nothing bad. Disappointed the solar was damaged by hurricane so pool was not heated. Kim, manager, was very friendly and helpful. Would probably rent again

Great location ! This place was perfect for what we needed. We stayed over Thanksgiving and had a couple friends over. Kim was so nice and got an extra table and chairs for us. 8 minutes to the beach and grocery store right around the corner. If you get a chance eat at Norwoods Treehouse and Blackbeards. Kim also mentioned a French bakery but we never made it 😢. The place is low key and very comfortable.

My husband and I decided to spend several months in Florida (5 to be exact) while our new home is under construction. We chose the pool house because of its location and size. We were quite comfortable here. The rooms were large and well supplied and both the property manager and cleaning lady were charming and available for any needs. Thanks to all. Peter and Joy

Handicapped friendly accommodation
Very handicap friendly stay. Roomy and even has a handicap shower stool available, and a walk in shower, which i didnt expect. My son is autistic and in a wheelchair. New symrna beach is on of the few " ramp" access beaches. Having a washer and dryer available was so nice, due to my son and his disabilities, it was very much needed. Staying here was like a home away from home. Plan on returning next year. Onsite staff was very friendly and was available if needed. Short ride to the beach and shopping to the main shopping district by the beach. Not far from Aldi, winn dixie, publix, walmart, drug stores and fast food services.

Great location
Great location and was perfect for our family trip. The pool out back was awesome. Furniture is a little outdated and not many kitchen utensils/pots and pans. There were some areas that were not as clean as we would have liked, but we also did ask to check in early so I am not sure if that had something to do with that. Overall this place was everything we needed and would stay here again!

Property needs updating, especially in the kitchen! Cooking ware is so warped very hard to cook with a electric stove. Sofa was from the 80s! No potholders, had to ask a neighbor for one when I baked a pan ans uses a towel in one hand and pot holder in the other! Very loud water pressure connected to the washing wachine! Was woke up from my vacation at 730am a few times from the wash machine being started!

Nice…despite a few issues
First of all the positives…Great location & convenient to the beach and whatever else you could possibly need. Loved having a pool that was only shared with the other guests on the property. Nice size TVs and loved being able to do laundry in the attached garage area. Charlie(property manager I think) was AMAZING. He was available to help with any issues that came up and quick to resolve them as quickly as he could. However, we did go 2 days without hot water which was an inconvenience for the 5 of us staying there. The addition where there were 2 single beds had NO A/C and it was HOT. We left the double doors from the living room open, but it was still too hot to sleep in the room. So this was an issue when having enough beds for us all. The fold out loveseat in the master was old, dirty and broken and this was the same for the living room sofa. We ended up putting sheets on top of just the top of the sofas so that at least 1 kid could sleep on each. Since the room with no air couldn’t be used we then had the one remaining child sleep in the master bedroom with us. The decor and the furniture all needs to be updated to say the least. Despite the negatives, we would definitely return and stay again. We just hope some much needed improvements would be done prior to our next visit.

Beautiful lot, perfect spot
I enjoyed my stay in the main residence with my family and my husband's elderly parents. The house attendant was more than helpful around the property and knowledgeable of local eateries and where there is fishing. The residence was clean and welcoming. The decorating was dated but in it's time fancy. All in all this was a great location to make fanstastic memories.

Crazy cleaning lady
This is a duplex type property with a front and back rental who share the swimming pool. The property was not ready to enter at check-in time. The cleaning lady consistently hung out at the pool and would bring friends over to swim even though both properties were rented and had paid for the use of the pool. She even brought her personal laundry to do and became upset if the washer/dryer were occupied. Was not comfortable knowing she had access to the rental when we were gone.

no kitchen linens & only 2 bath towels. shortage of toilet paper & paper towels. had to go buy them.
There were a lot of owners collectible glassware. If we were traveling with children this would have been a concern. Was surprised that so many personal treasures were accessible in the house. Yard and pool area needs maintenance although the pool itself was clean & maintained. Very few bath towels & no kitchen linens. lack of back up toilet paper & paper towels.
