Wonderful place to relax!

My family had a wonderful time enjoying all the amenities offered with this rental. Kayaking right out of the back yard, biking to the beach, relaxing in the pool, or just watching one of many movies provided was great!
The kitchen was well stocked ,plently of linens were available,and many little extras to enjoy during your stay. The location,if you are not familiar with New Smryna, is the best. You are centrally located on the island, but tucked away for some quiet private time. We hope to coordinate our families schedules to enable us to visit again soon!

We had the pleasure of spending our vacation at this beautiful home and were completely thrilled with the experience! As described, it is in a perfect location! Laurie & Larry were absolutely wonderful!! Their home has everything you need and then some...Our 4 y.o. grandson caught his first fish from the dock and was sooo excited. We relaxed in the huge pool, enjoyed the hot tub and of course spent our days soaking in the sun on New Smyrna's awesome beach. This is the perfect vacation home for everyone. We're hoping to return again next year. Thanks again Laurie & Larry :)

All in all we were very happy with the house and the amenities. The owners were very helpful with reserving the house and answering any questions. The house is in a great location, not crowded, easy to get to the beach. The pool is "big" and we enjoyed swimming in the afternoons and evenings. The view is great and relaxing. Our advice is to fish in early mornings or you will get eat up with the bugs at night.
The house was clean and the property was kept nice. The only thing I would suggest is to clean up the area where the bikes are kept and to add a few more pots and pans. We enjoyed buying fresh seafood and cooking instead of having to get dressed for dinner. It was nice to eat outside by the pool.
We would recommend this property for families with children. We also recommend the seafood market and restaurant, Oceans Seafood.

This house was everything and more the owners promised. The pictures do not do it justice. The cupboards and closets were full with all the needed amenities for a comfortable and easy stay. There are endless recreational activities available without even leaving the yard. You can fish from the dock (we caught a couple sea trout), canoe down the river and canals, swim in the large crystal blue pool, or enjoy the sunset and jumping fish in the canal from the hot tub. My kids spent hours chasing small lizards and crabs around the yard. The beach is a 2 minute drive or an easy 10 minute walk. The owners provide beach toys, coolers, beach blankets and umbrellas so all you have to do is enjoy yourself. 5-10 minute drive to the shops and restaurants on Flagler Avenue. A great home with great owners. Thanks from the whole family!!!!

We enjoyed a week at this rental and it was just perfect. Everything we needed was there, and the location was very convenient. There was great fishing to be had, and we spent many an hour on the dock fishing and watching birds. (We left a rod too--you might plan on bringing a few.) We took the canoe out a few times and there are limitless waterways to explore. The beach is 2 minutes away and is just beautiful.
The house itself is very comfortable. It's completely quiet at night so we all slept very soundly.
Larry and Lori were pleasant and great to interact with, and we have no complaints at all. We would definitely recommend this property, and would love to return to spend more time there.

Great Beach, Wonderful Town
Submitted: January 20, 2012
Stayed: December 2011
The owners were wonderful answering our questions and helping us to plan our fishing excursion. New Smyrna was a beautiful, quaint town, with a gorgeous beach. Our family rented this house for the Christmas holiday - the location of the home was great, close to the beach, close to town and close to fishing. However....the pool was great, but the heater was very loud, making it difficult to leave the patio doors open. The master bedroom was too small for a king sized bed. The bed was up against the wall and the inside person had to crawl over a large wooden foot board to get out of the bed or crawl over the person next to them On the other side of the bed, there was a little over 12 inches of floor space between the dresser and the king sized bed. The bedroom was also dimly lit, making it impossible to read in bed. The TV was in the closet, making the useable closet space pretty small. The kitchen was not well equipped - there were only small frying pans - not large enough to make pancakes and bacon for breakfast. There was only one pot to cook dinner with. Also, the microwave is installed in the wall above the stove - if you are cooking on the stove top and have to use the microwave at the same time - you risk burning your arms. The doors on both refrigerators did not close tightly unless you pushed on them. One refrigerator did not have handles on it. There were enough dishes for five, therefore we ran out of dishes each day after breakfast. The bath towels were old, worn and mismatched.
The house is in a great location - with some renovations and TLC it could be a great vacation bungalow.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your feedback. We would love the opportunity to address your comments: Our pool heater is optional, and is usually requested during our mild
winter months. The electric pool heater is loud (if your on the deck) and
necessary to heat larger size pools. In order to heat the pool rapidly,
it can be set to run on a constant basis, to run only at
night or specific times that you prefer to minimize the sound.
Because it is an older home, the bedrooms are small. We do limit the
amount of guests do to space. We tried to maximize as much space as
possible and knew that most people prefer a king sized bed. The dresser
is large, and we are considering putting a smaller dresser to fit the space better.
Yes, the TV is in the closet on top of a narrow dresser. We thought this
was a good way to utilize space and allow room on left and right to hang
clothes. There are at least 13 good size drawer space to put all those
folded beach clothes in. Yes, it is dim (at night) in the master bedroom. We will change the light fixture out to something brighter. There are currently two lamps and a ceiling light. The kitchen has as many appliances, utensils, as we could think of. We
will add a large frying pan, additional pots, a new dish set (to replace broken ones) and any special requests. It is common to have a microwave elevated above the stove. This was to save counter space. I would suggest folks microwave what they need first,and then cook on the stove after.
We attempted to replace the fridge in the kitchen with the extra stainless one, but the cabinet was too low to fit. So, until we can renovate the entire kitchen (one day) including all new appliances, we figured an extra fridge would come in handy for all the extra fish you catch!! The handles of the extra fridge lost a few screws in the move, and we will we find something that fits. Both open easily and work fine. The fridge in the kitchen does need to be pushed closed for a nice seal. Bath towels will fluctuate in being worn or mismatched. We had all matching Egyptian cotton, and things just happen (people take/people leave), so they are replaced often. We will review inventory in between
renters to provide the best we can. Again, we appreciate your feedback.
We take pride in our home and know that we can always use updates and
improvements.
All our best,
Laurie and Larry

This home had everything you needed. The pool was the perfect temperature, great toys were provided and it was great for a 5 year old kid and adults. The hot tub was nice. The fishing dock was great. It was comfortable and we caught many fishes. The canoe was fun to ride and the river was nice. The neighborhood was quite and everyone we ran into was so polite.
Laurie was great. Very helpful via email.
The house was comfortable. A lot of space to play and hang out. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked.
The house was great and it was better than we hoped for.
We definitely recommend this house.

I don't know where to begin about how fantastic this rental home is - the view out the back is just unbelievable - a gorgeous inlet of the Indian River ( where fish Really are jumping All the time - huge fish - I have never fished before in my life, and the first time, just with some string and bait I got a bite every single time I dropped it in the water! And the dock is terrific) - beyond the inlet is a vista of little channels and tropical islands, where you see egrets landing and over which the sun sets every night - sometimes looked like Africa, sometimes like an dreamy Asian somewhere...The Pool is Fabulous - beautiful blue, with water shadows dancing along the wall of house and geckos running up the screens during the day, and at night moon and stars above. The colors of the house make you feel like you are in the Bahamas - the owners just have wonderful taste, and there are so many beautiful touches that just make you feel Happy. Lastly, I just must note how Amazing the the owners of this house are - Larry and Laurie - they are completely available to you for any questions,etc. you might have and are just beyond friendly - I could not have hoped for a better experience, and am planning/ hoping on renting this house again.

Guests for a week during September 2010 and had an incredible time. Owner even gave my husband a private surfing lesson. House was beautiful and had the most comfortable bed we ever slept on away from home. Pool was amazing and we enjoyed catching fish off the dock and out on the canoe. Clean, meticulously maintained and beautifully appointed. Conveniently located in the center of everything you want to do while on a Flordia vacation. We would definitely recommend this property. Thanks Laurie and Larry for a memorable holiday week!

We spent 2 weeks in New Smyrna and the beach house, we had a nice holiday, the house was wery cozy. We and our kids spent much time in the pool and hot tub, and it was just 15 minutes walk to the beach. The dock was perfect for some fishing. New Smyrna is a nice little town and hopefully we come back some time.
Don´t forget to bring your mosquito repellent. If you think the pool is cold, ask the owners to heat it for a weekly fee.
The house is perfect for family with children.
