Beautiful Direct Oceanfront in Prestigious Ebb Tide Complex!

We were blessed with a last minute vacation to New Smyrna Beach in September of 2012. This was our second vacation to New Smyrna Beach and our first stay at Ebb Tide. The staff at Ebb Tide was easily accessible and witnessing the maintenance man/grounds keeper tending to the property during the day was a nice, consistent and familiar routine. Our condo comfortably slept our family of eight as well as provided enough living room space for us to be in the same room together when relaxing inside the condo. The pool at Ebb Tide was nicely heated and made a wonderful evening cap for the children, my husband and myself. We also enjoyed the poolside jacuzzi each evening before turning in. The master suite jacuzzi tub was a great feature as we enjoyed this several times during our stay (as did our children!). The only negatives I found for this unit were: 1) I felt the kitchen needed more cooking utensils as we REALLY live in the unit and cook several times a day in it 2) the dishwasher needed updating 3) the master bathroom shower either needed to have a thorough bleaching around it's base or the caulk color needed to be changed as it appeared unclean to me (again, this simply could have been the color of the caulk). Overall, this unit is FANTASTIC and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for accommodations for a large family right on the beach! You will LOVE your view of the ocean right from your condo and the easy access to the over sized balcony from both the master bedroom and the living room! If you are looking for a quiet, family oriented beach vacation where your idea of perfect is "doing what you do at home right on the beach," then New Smyrna Beach is the place for you. I would like to add that this is the second year we have booked through greatoceancondos.com and once again, their friendly and efficient service has us praying our visits to New Smyrna Beach become an annual event. Thanks again for another memorable vacation!
