OWNERS
Our family lives in nearby Winter Park, FL and has owned this lovely condo for over 20 years. We also own a luxury home in beautiful Deer Valley Resort (Park City, Utah) - view on VRBO listing 55322. We love to share our vacation properties with other families. Our goal is to help create happy memories for our guests. During the 20 years that we have owned vacation properties (3 in New Smyrna Beach and 3 in Deer Valley, Utah at one point) we have received so many wonderful comments from our guests. Every year this condo is reserved for over close to 52 weeks by guests from all over the country. Over the years there have been times where things were not perfect–a child may have had an accident in the pool so the pool needs to be shut down until the pool company can clean it appropriately. Sometimes there has been a leaky toilet in one of the units above our condo so that needs to be repaired before our ceiling is repaired. Sometimes the professional cleaning crew that had been hired by our former property management company had missed something. As with home ownership things will happen but what is most important is what happens when things are not perfect. We always try to make guests happy. If there is a problem it will be addressed. All we ask is for our guests to communicate with us and the issue will be taken care of in a prompt manner.

We hope you too can enjoy our beautiful beach condo.

Beautiful Place! Great Vacation!
This is our 2nd stay in this spacious condo with great views and we look forward to coming again. This is a beautiful, bright end unit that is very clean and well equipped. All of the beach toys, towels, and gear are there. Just pack your toothbrush and swimsuit and enjoy the quiet beach - which is literally a 1-2 minute walk from door to sand.

Amazing Stay in New Smyrna Beach!
If you are looking for the perfect spot on the ocean, this is it! Located on the quiet end of NSB, there are no cars, just endless sky, sand and sea. This is a corner unit, so the beautiful waves fill the windows on two sides of the condo! The balcony overlooking the water is hard to leave. (And of course, there’s a lovely pool!) Being one story up is a big plus for us…we like the convenience of the elevator (for hauling in luggage) but we most often just run up one flight of stairs. The bedding and furnishings are excellent and very comfortable, and the kitchen is perfect! You can prepare full meals with every possible tool and appliance, and it comes with a great supply of spices and cooking needs. For space lovers, the condo (or the top floor lounge area) is an amazing place to view a launch. I can’t say enough good things about this place, or the ease of working with the owner. He is very responsive and takes care of any situation that might arise. We’ve stayed in countless properties with VRBO over the years, but we keep coming back to this one! It’s a gem!

Our annual visit to nirvana.
This is a beautiful property. The condo has been completely updated. Martin, the owner, is always available. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay wonderful. Best ocean view we’ve ever had. Already signed up for our return in 2025.

Spectacular View Goes On Forever!
Five stars isn’t enough for this beautiful condo, with its amazing view! We’ve been coming here for years, and it only gets better and better! This unit is located on the corner of the building, commanding a spectacular view of the beach in two directions. The balcony gets great morning light and is furnished with comfy padded furniture. It’s so close to the water that it feels like you’re on a ship! The balcony is also a great place to watch a rocket launch and there’s a top floor clubhouse for an even better view! The inside furnishings are tasteful and comfortable, and the master bedroom has just been refreshed with new furniture and bedding. (You can’t beat the view of the sunrise from your bed!) We love to cook, and we were happy to find everything we could possibly need in the kitchen to cook up gourmet meals, while taking in the ocean view! It’s well stocked with staples, spices and plenty of coffee. We also love that this condo is on the second story, making it easy to dash up or down one flight of stairs if you don’t want to bother with the elevators. The owner pays great attention to detail, and has worked to ensure that you have the best possible experience in his condo. For all the beach lovers, there is a closet full of chairs, toys and enough boogie boards for a bunch of kids! You can’t beat this place if the ocean is your happy place!

About the host

Hosted by Martin Hering

Host profile image
Our family lives nearby in Winter Park, Florida and we love staying in our beach condo as much as possible. With our children in school and involved in many activities we usually have to enjoy the property vicariously through our guests who often send us emails and photos telling us how much they have enjoyed their stay at our special beach home.

Why they chose this property

New Smyrna Beach is the beach where families from Central Florida (Orlando) have been going to for many years. There are many other choices for beaches in the area (Cocoa Beach, Titusville, Daytona Beach, Melbourne, Ponce Inlet, and others) but New Smyrna Beach is the number one choice amongst locals here in Orlando. Why? It is very family friendly, easy access to Orlando (1 hour drive), and has a beautiful 14 mile pristine beach. The easy drive to Orlando allows guests to enjoy Disney, Sea World, Universal Studios and other fun attractions that Orlando offers.

What makes this property unique

The Southwind condo is one of the few properties that are gated which makes our beach area much more private. The Southwind recently completed a million dollar total renovation. Our condo is the only one on the beach that has a manicured lawn between the property and the beach making it very much like a private home. Our property is located on the southern end of the beach which does not allow cars to drive on the beach (the north side does allow cars to drive on the beach). With our unit being on the second floor corner unit you have incredible views of the beach and ocean. Our unit has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths which is great for our family. Most 3 bedroom units on the beach only have 2 baths. There is a huge difference between our condo and most others. We bought this property with the goal to make it the most guest friendly one on the beach. We love having families with children enjoy our condo and have added many amenities for children that very few other properties have (baby monitors, side rails for beds, many many toys, games, books, DVD's, and more. Check out our guest comments and see what other families have said that have stayed in our condo and we hope to share our unit with you too.
