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.
