Great location! Very comfortable

I’ve stayed at many different places in NSB for years and this one is a favorite! It was so clean and decorated adorably. The location is great and we walked to everything in minutes! The shower was a spa experience!

Amazing bungalow in the perfect location

The property has all updated finishes and is located in the perfect location just off of Flagler. The owner stopped by and introduced himself. He was a gracious host! 5 stars all the way around. Highly recommend!

Quick Beach weekend/Surf Trip

Been coming to New Smyrna to surf the last 8 years and Bill's house was BY FAR the best experience we have had. The house's location is more than ideal with walking distance to coffee shops, bars, restaurants and shopping on Flagler Ave. Our favorite part was the bar/counter top outside the house for hanging out. Looking forward to booking here again!

I have to be honest. I'm not sure if I like Bill or the VRNO better. Both were outstanding!!! Hope you don't get sick of us as we will be back. This place has everything you would need in a rental. Simple, clean, updated, close to everything. Park the car and forget about it. Thanks for everything.

Better than advertised

Buddha's Bungalow is better than described. Clean, very well appointed, quality throughout. If I were to set up a place to my own liking it wouldn't be much different. Many vacation rentals use second rate furniture, fixtures and appliances. Not this place. Everything is top shelf. Also, plenty of nice towels, toilet paper etc. I know that sounds petty but many places skimp here and it makes a difference. Location wise, you couldn't be closer to Flagler Ave. unless you were actually on Flagler Ave. You can throw a stone over it, not just to it, but at night, it was quiet. The Beach is a five minute walk if that. I'd come back any time. the description sells it short. Great place.

Reviews like this make me smile. I try so hard to make every beachcation I host to be comfortable and fun. IT used to drive me crazy when my mom would rent in NSB, and the towels would be lousy, the furniture cheap and the beds uncomfortable. I truly try to go the extra mile so that my guests can relax in comfort. I am so happy you noticed these details and pointed them out in your review. Please come back and see us!

Amazing bungalow

I would definitely recommend this bungalow to anyone that wants to rent short term or long term. My wife and I and our dog Harley stayed here for two months and it was absolutely amazing. The place was updated with all new appliances, bedding and the kitchen was fully stocked. The location was perfect. It was a half a block off the Main Street which had numerous restaurants and little quaint shops. The beach was only 2 1/2 blocks away. Everything was in walking distance. Bill was the perfect host and was always readily available to answer any of our questions we had. We will definitely rent again in the future. We had such a great time for the two months we stayed.

Perfect location in paradise.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at the Buddha's Bungalow! The location was absolutely perfect to explore everything that New Smyrna Beach had to offer. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the beach, restaurants and the shopping on the avenue were all just a short walk around the corner, and while the bungalow was centrally located, it was also surprisingly quiet and peaceful at night. The Bungalow itself was incredibly nice. The interior was clean and modern, and the decor was quite tastefully done. It had a peaceful, deliberately minimalist feel to it without being sterile. No clutter or overabundance of decoration, just enough to give it a comfortable amount of warmth and character. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed using the kitchen. The brand new appliances, the smooth sliding drawers and even the attention the owner placed on the well-balanced kitchen knives made cooking and meal preparation a delight. The bathroom felt very modern, with an incredible shower system and a nice added touch with the soft-backlit mirror. There was also a foot wash in the front to help keep beach sand from being tracked inside, and the outside shower in the back was a great bonus for rinsing off after the beach without having to go in. Outside the Bungalow, underneath a shaded roof, was a bar counter and seating area. We thought it was a nice touch when we first arrived, but we ended up actually spending most of our time there. It was the perfect spot for eating, indulging in a glass of wine and enjoying the ocean breeze. Also, the owners of the Bungalow were great hosts! They were very responsive when we needed something or had questions, and they seemed to genuinely enjoy making our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. We had such a relaxing weekend that we will likely try to book the Buddha’s Bungalow on a regular basis. It’s our new “home away” in New Smyrna Beach!
