Spacious Beachfront Condo - Smyrna Beach Club A603

The pros: Oceanfront view from the condo is great Oceanfront salt water pool with chairs and umbrellas Gated complex in a good area Easy to navigate short stairs from the property down to the sand. The cons: The condo is in need of an overhaul The kitchen looks to be original from the early 1980’s with Formica counters and fiberboard cabinets, rusted out vent hood, dishwasher holds water, ice maker in frig didn’t work, sparsely stocked dishes, etc. The bathrooms are very dimly lit and the exhaust fans did not work. The chairs on the balcony could not be used, no cushions. The beds were old and uncomfortable, only one bedroom had a ceiling fan. This rental is managed by Ocean Properties, the check in process with them is disorganized, had to make two different stops in order to get everything we needed for our condo stay, keys, parking passes etc. I would not recommend this unit, it needs a complete overhaul and there are other units in the complex that are much nicer.

We left immediately after checking in. There was a strong odor throughout the entire condo and we found significant mold on several pieces of furniture. The overall condition of the unit was very poor with damaged furniture, and water damaged ceilings.

Good

We stayed a week here, and had a fantastic time. Everything there that we needed to enjoy our stay. The only thing that i might ad that could be changed, would be the skillets to cook with, as only 1 of them worked really good-the other 2 everything stuck to them, so i think upgrading the skillets would be a great improvement. Thanks for a great trip! Were planning on going back next year in July, but we will go for 2 weeks this time.

The front screen door attachment is broken. There is something wrong with the A/C. The thermostat says it is cooling but there is a lot of humidity in the unit: uncomfortably so. We did not leave doors open, etc. Plus, we were in other units that did not have the same problem. There is very little water pressure in the master bath sink faucet. Shower was fine. The toaster needs to be replaced. It is filthy. The unit in general was not very clean. While I do understand that the property manager is having a hard time finding and keeping cleaning folks and our unit was a back-to-back turnaround, it was obvious that some of the uncleanliness had accumulated over a period of time. The property manager complained incessantly to anyone and everyone about the fact that he makes no money on VRBOs or rentals through brokers like you all. He is very unresponsive and difficult to work with. We hold a family reunion every 2 years and rent 15 or so units. We usually do that through the on-property personnel, but a lot of us rented through VRBO because he was totally non-responsive for 2 years (since the 2019 reunion at SBC). We had the same problem booking for the 2109 reunion. As a result, we most likely will not be coming back to SBC for the 2023 reunion. I think the owners should be aware of his behavior. If I was an owner, I would want to know.

Absolutely loved the condo, the location was great and quiet, the view was excellent, would definitely come back!!!

The condo unit is in a great location however the unit is in need of a major renovation and the furniture and beds are old.

Broken A/C for 3 days!!!!!wrong size sheets on bed, broken screen at sliding glass door, missing vertical blinds slats(behind tv and under couch), very worn out couch, master bath sink with faucets not working properly, This condo needs much work! Not worth the money!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful complex and very friendly folks. No crotchety owners hassling renters about anything…refreshing! The unit itself is acceptable but not great. Furniture, while older was fairly comfortable. The beds…not so much. Uncomfortable! Bring your own sheets and thick mattress pads or egg crates. Also the towels provided were cheap. A Kurig would be nice instead the old espresso machine. Otherwise the kitchen was fairly well equipped. That tiny master toilet? Fine for a petit lady…terrible for men. Also, a full size kitchen trash can is a must. Overall? Thumbs up!

New Smyrna was beautiful. It’s a great beach. The pool was right on the ocean. We had a great time. The condo was nice and had everything we needed but could use al little update. We still had a 5 star time.
