Ocean Front with Gorgeous Views-Sea Coast Condominium 518

Cute place, great location but you’ve got to do something about the mildew.

The unit and location was great but my wife continued to complain about the musty smell. She thinks it was emanating from the wall to wall carpeting. Replacing with tile or some other smooth surface may be the solution. If not for this, our stay would have been perfect.

Not enough toilet papers

Not impressed with the management of this property I have stayed at many Vrbo in the past but this was the biggest disappointment. Kitchen not equipped, no can opener, knives were poor, silverware worn or non existent, cheap dishwasher that the door flew up each time you opened it. Keys did not work, locked out of laundry with clothes in it, and someone was always in my parking space from the moment we arrived. Could not access the beach and pool was cold!! Beds were comfortable and unit was clean, everything else was below standard. You expect with the expensive rate to have accommodation at least as good as home so it will feel like a vacation and not a hassle!!!!

property manager rude. No access to beach due to construction

Our stay was good. The weather was not. We knew that when we booked the stay. The condo was in an older complex. It was nicely decorated. The view was amazing. We looked over the ocean. We did have a couple of issues: no beach access from the condo because of construction. We should have been told about this. Also we went to get a parking pass from the office on Sunday afternoon after 4 and the office was closed. We parked in the temporary space 112 that I had been given. Called a help number and was given a parking card for 518 same number as the Unit. That space only a motorcycle would fit in it. So we parked in 112 again. Then someone told it was their space so we parked in the visitor parking. The parking is also messed due to the construction. The only other thing that was not great was there was no water pressure when taking a shower. We enjoyed exploring the town.

We had a brief weekend stay and the condo was lovely. Very clean with a perfect location and view. The only complaint I have is with the parking situation and how the management company handled it. Due to construction, the assigned parking spot was not available. And there was only one visitor parking spot in the entire lot, which was always taken. The management company check-in instructions said to park in a certain spot (assigned to a different condo), but the office manager at the property told us we could not and our car would be towed. Because the management company was closed at the time we were checking in, I contacted their after hours line and was told they would be paged and call me back. I never heard from them at all.

Pros: The condo was quiet and clean. Great view of the beach and water. Cons: In the description they said there was a recliner and there wasn't. Unable to fit my car in the parking space provided for the condo, it was too small. As for check-in I was given the wrong code for the lock box and unable to get in the unit. Could not get in touch with anyone so I spent the night at a hotel till early morning when I was able to get some help.

Beautiful location in New Smyrna Beach. The condo is an older building but the unit is well kept with beautiful furnishings. The sea wall was unfortunately affected by last years hurricanes but work well underway to fix.

We really enjoyed being on the no drive portion of NSB and appreciated the laid back atmosphere of the property. The condo is very close to the beach and the pool area is great. We really enjoyed being able to lay on the sun deck close to the water without dealing with the sand. The condo has amazing views from the oceanfront balcony and the windows. It is very spacious inside and comfortable for our family. We hope to book again next summer. Communication with the property owner was great and any concerns were addressed promptly.
