OCEAN VIEW studio apt BEST LOCATION

First time ever renting and not staying at a hotel. Reserved unit 4, but upon opening the door, we saw two German roaches crawling on the inside of the door and two dead inside, but said we’d say something if we saw more. The unit was not clean like I keep my own house and could use a coat of fresh paint, the walls jaw scuff marks on them and the particle board cabinets need to be replaced. They look like they’ve been wet before and seem to make the room smell. The kitchen cabinets had some liquid that dripped and dried on them and the handles are rusted and need to be replaced. The straw that broke the camels back was when we were about to leave for the day and grabbed our water bottles and my boyfriends had baby roaches crawling inside of it. That was it, we called the host. She had the owner come and he said he could move us to another unit. This would be unit 5, which had the beach views. We said ok, still concerned. We threw our luggage in and left for the day. Once we got back and actually walked around the unit, we noticed the floors are very uneven and quite concerning. This is a second floor unit and I believe overtime these floors may fall through to the first floor. We stepped softly around the crack in the laminate between the living room and the bedroom, hoping not to damage anymore flooring. Overall, not a good experience for us unfortunately.

My favorite moment was sitting on the deck and watching the sun rise with a cup of coffee. It's all about the location. Lots of good restaurants nearby. The building faces the ocean, but the studio (4) has a side view of the ocean. Some visitors reported that the blinds don't work, but they are fine. The trick to opening them is to press and hold the button while you gently lift them with the palm of your hand.

This is an old building, but the age does not detract from all it has to offer. The inside is updated and is very clean. Location couldn't be better. Right on the beach with great access. Great parking. Close to downtown. Definitely will be back.

We rented the unit for a mid week stay with my husband and teen daughter. The unit was cozy but perfect for the 3 of us. The location was on the beach entrance ramp. It is upstairs with a side window view of the beach. The unit was clean and had everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. We liked the location and felt safe there. The check in process and communication with the owner was excellent.

Loved it

lovely building, unit, location, amenities & owner

This is our second time staying here, another great time. Plenty of space for the 3 of us to hang out and ease into the day. It had everything we needed with some extras. Love having plenty of natural light available. The A/C works great. The stairs are a bit narrow and may be a concern for some people. The location is fabulous, right on the water and in a quiet neighborhood. The deck is spacious, allowing us to enjoy being outside without being sandy or have have dinner. Also a great place to meet people staying in the other units. Highly recommend!

Overall, we liked the condo. However, none of the blinds worked which made it dark inside. The hairdryer should be replaced. It overheated very quickly.

Clean, functional and comfortable. One small thing would have improved our experience. The window shades were inoperable, so we had no natural lighting.

As someone who grew up in Florida going to New Smyrna Beach as the default beach spot, this was a GREAT spot to stay! It was just me, my husband, and our one year-old. It was fantastic to be able to set up on the beach and make such a short walk back into the air conditioning for cooking meals and naps. We felt very safe letting our little one nap in the apartment while we sat on the back deck with the monitor, enjoying the view. Cannot recommend this place enough! We'll definitely hope to stay here again.
