Ocean View Condo with Private Balcony Heated Pool and No Drive Beach

I felt the condo was absolutely adorable.Perfect for 1 to 4 people. They have beach chairs, an umbrella, and boogie boards in a storage closet for your use. Internet worked great. I never turned a TV on so I can’t vouch for those, but they looked like they would be fine. Good size swimming pool with plenty of chairs. Private stairs for beach access to a part of the beach that does not allow cars!

Super condo bien équipé pour un beau séjour Chaises de plage, parasol etc La propriété est bien entretenue , piscine impeccable et plage magnifique large et sans algue

Property was easy to find, clean, fantastically located next to the beach and a family-friendly pool. Complex was quiet even at the busiest of times. Everyone was friendly. Host was extremely informative with prompt communication. Couldn't ask for more.

The condo unit is wonderful as is the location. It was clean and well stocked, close to things to do. There was only one negative. PLEASE NOTE: We were there for a week, New Year's 2025, and the condo complex had no steps to the beach. We booked the place 21 days prior to arrival and the host didn't tell us there were no steps, until the day before check in. We were told they had been washed away in the recent storm and she had hoped they would be replaced by the time of our visit. I feel like this should have been disclosed at the time of booking since it was only 21 days from our check in date. We made a last minute decision to take our bikes, but we found it too difficult to carry all our beach gear on the bikes, so we opted to drive and and pay the money to park. This also provided us with a restroom close by. Yes, the beach access is only a few complexes down, but too far for us to carry everything. The fact that the steps were washed away is certainly beyond the host's control, and I truly feel for beach towns hit by hurricanes. My irritation is that this was not disclosed to us in a timely manner. I know the importance of getting tourist dollars back to help rebuild the area. We ate out, shopped, and tried to give back to an area that has meant a lot of us over the years. We made the best of our trip and had fun, but unfortunately not having easy access to the beach did impede our enjoyment of the beach.

We loved this very clean condo. It had everything we needed. The grounds were beautiful.

Great view of pool and ocean. All the people we met were nice. The parking spaces were roomy. A/C and shower worked great and furniture was comfy.

This was a wonderful experience! As others have mentioned, sitting on the balcony so close to the beach was a daily treat. The new stairs to the beach are so well built that they feel indestructible. Close to restaurants and shopping, this location works for any visitor. It's quiet at night and there's always room to park. Stacey was available by phone or email for any questions. The condo is so well stocked with anything you'd need----the kitchen beats mine at home!

We've been coming to Castle Reef for over 10 years now and this is the first time we used Vacasa. The trip did not disappoint. Clean room, great view, easy access to elevator and the complex is close to just about every place you need while staying. Will be back.

Be careful when dealing with the host of this property, which is a Vascasa property. Although it looked nice and clean, our feet became black when walking on the floors. Additionally, the shower stall leaked after every shower, which was never resolved. Their communication is abysmal, and no one seems to know anything. The worst thing was that we received a notice that the beach access from the property was not available, which is why we chose this property. When I was finally able to reach the “host”, prior to the last date we could receive our deposit back and choose a property that did still have access. The host didn’t know(!), and said he would contact the local manager,. He contacted us back and said it would be fine and we were sent a gate access code. When we arrived, the access was not accessible, the gate could not be used, as the 10 foot drop to the beach had no stairs. We were told we could use the public beach access which was a half mile walk on the main rd. When we complained the response was, well you have beach access. I don’t appreciate the dishonesty of this company Vascasa.

This condo is just as advertised. Very up to date decor. Nice ocean view. Very clean. We felt at home here. Comfortable bed. The condo property is beautiful with wonderful well kept landscaping. So relaxing. Great pool. First time to New Smyrna Beach. We will be back.

Very nice and clean condo. Has everything you need. Definitely recommend.

We had a very relaxing stay, the condo is beautiful and very clean. Thanks for sharing with us.

We have been coming to NSB for quite a few years and this might be one of the cleanest, quietest condo's we have stayed at. We love the no drive beach and the location to great restaurants. The condo was very clean and welcoming. We would definitely consider staying here again.

We enjoyed the rental. The only comment is the ceiling fans need cleaning....otherwise it was very comfy.

We loved this very clean condo. It had everything we needed. The grounds were beautiful.

Size is nice. Outdoor furniture nice. Bed is comfy. Could be cleaner. Rugs in bathrooms need washing.

We loved the unit! Clean and convenient. Fantastic views. One thing of note...the TV is not a smart TV so if you want to stream, bring a roku or apple firestick device.

April’s condo in Castle Reef is beautifully appointed and spotless. It has been recently completely renovated and the bathroom, although, not large is like a spa, with a gorgeous step in shower. Linens and towels are high quality and new. The tile floor is beautiful and there are attractive rugs for it. Being on the fifth floor offers a beautiful view of the ocean. The elevators are prompt and clean, and the entire complex is quiet as it is on the no car and of New Smyrna Beach. It has a huge (75 inch?) tv for rainy days and the kitchen is very well stocked. It is obvious that the home has been made to feel like home-real pride of ownership.

First time staying here! The condo was clean, homey, and comfortable. Owner provided a closet full of *anything* you’ll need for the beach, a huge plus. All the comforts of home in a beachy, comfortable setting. Location was excellent. Market across the street and quick delicious breakfast at C’s Waffles. We suggest: A quick walk down the beach to Chase’s offers a nice spot for casual beachfront lunch and dinner. Drive down to Flagler to Breakers (pink house) for amazing burgers, and Third Wave Cafe for dinner— A MUST (we went twice!) and visit Riley the new owner of Flagler Pizza- it’s NY style, and fantastic (I’m a Jersey girl, so I know). Just an overall relaxing, lovely stay in NSB. Owners really make you feel at home. Thank you, Stacey!

Condo was wonderful with the beautiful ocean views.

The unit is very well equipped and comfortable! Patio has a nice view of the ocean. Beach and pool access are easy. Kitchen has all the essentials. Cleanliness is great! And Stacey, the owner, is an excellent communicator. We spent a wonderful week there!

Bed was too lumpy and soft. Woke up every morning with back aches.

Wonderful view, comfortable and nicely decorated room. Would stay here again.

Beautiful, updated and very roomy. I especially liked that there were two separate vanities even though it was a one bath. We each had plenty of space that way. Stacey had everything we needed, and then some. The view of the courtyard and the ocean from the unit were beautiful. I would definitely stay again.

Sufficient room for 2. Nice breeze on balcony with gorgeous view.

We have been staying here for several years. It is has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Wonderfully soft bed, the condo is stocked with everything you need for a day at the beach/pool, and the balcony furniture is very comfortable. This place has us spoiled and keeps us coming back!

Great Place - Just need TV/Internet Fixed. The condo was great in a good location. Not much of a view of the beach, but you see it plenty while there. The only issue was daily fight with the internet. It was hit or miss if it stayed online. Worked with the rental agency the whole week and still didn't work well when we left. This is both our personal devices and those in the condo that only run internet like the 3rd bedroom TV. It would go out all the time.

We loved the unit! Clean and convenient. Fantastic views. One thing of note...the TV is not a smart TV so if you want to stream, bring a roku or apple firestick device.

Could have done with somewhere to store our bags while we waited for the 4pm check in time. Some flexibility would have been appreciated. Other than that great stay! Felt clean and recently renovated!

Our host was very responsive to questions and the property was great! Hope to return soon

Property was easy to find, clean, fantastically located next to the beach and a family-friendly pool. Complex was quiet even at the busiest of times. Everyone was friendly. Host was extremely informative with prompt communication. Couldn't ask for more.

We always stayed at Castle Reef in my late teens/early twenties, this trip brought back some great memories. April is a phenomenal host and the unit is great, you will not be disappointed if you choose her condo for your next stay! Planning another trip later in the summer, sure hope we are able to stay here again! Thanks for everything!

NSB is a great place to vacation at the beach. We have been coming for 32 years with our extended family and staying at Castle Reef. This Condo is a great value, getting a view of the beach as well as an updated Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and family area! We enjoyed our week and will be back again next year. Stacey was a great host!

This is our second visit to NSB staying for 2+ weeks. But for family events, we would have stayed longer. We are already looking at schedules for our next visit. Stacey is prompt, helpful when needed, and always pleasant. The unit is better than described, well-equipped, well-stocked with essentials, nicely furnished, comfortable, clean and situated in a good location. Thank you Stacey. See you next time.

This was a wonderful experience! As others have mentioned, sitting on the balcony so close to the beach was a daily treat. The new stairs to the beach are so well built that they feel indestructible.

Perfect property for a quick weekend beach trip for 2. Kitchen is well supplied and property is right on the beach and across from stores and restaurants. Condo is clean and balcony has a great view of the water. Owner is quick to reply and help with anything we needed! Would stay again for sure!

This couples VRBO is located perfectly on the coast. Easy access to beach or pool! Nearby groceries, convenience items, shopping and town hot spots make this a great value.

Great alternative to a hotel. Clean private and quiet on the no drive part of New Smyrna Beach

The location of this quaint condo is very nice. Off the parking allowed section of the beach allows for almost private beach experience. A market and a couple of eating places are right across the street with many more only blocks away. The condo is well furnished and very comfortable. There were no problems whatsoever. Owner communicated check in and check out completely and it was very easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Quiet property located on no-drive beach. Everything was exactly as the listing described.

Very nice property, good location easy to get to… and to get to places we wanted to see . The kitchen was well stocked with pans, plates etc. The coffee drinker in our group appreciated the provided coffee pods. The weather was a bit cool and windy so we didn’t get to use pool or beach but they looked great. We would love to come back when it’s beach weather. We came for the Daytona 500 so we weren’t planning a beach vacation on this trip

Wonderful time, beautiful condo. Loved the location!

The condo and the location were nice, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
