Area Attractions:
New Smyrna is a barrier island positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River. The beaches of New Smyrna stretch over 13 miles along the sandy east coast of Central Florida. Water activities abound. New Smyrna is the surfing capital of Florida-- try it yourself or watch the locals ride the big waves near the jetties. Play in the surf, gather seashells, or build a sandcastle with your kids or grandkids. From Ponce de Leon Inlet, you can embark on a great deep-sea fishing adventure. Or choose to stay closer to the shore for excellent flats fishing in Mosquito Lagoon, famous for its redfish. Though New Smyrna is a small historic town, the city offers a wide selection of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences for both its residents and guests. From beachside burger joints to restaurants serving fresh local seafood, there's something for everyone.

I have stayed in many units at castle reef over the years, and this is probably the nicest. I enjoyed the updated kitchen and bathroom, and the first floor is very convenient for getting to the beach. My only complaints were the ice maker and Keurig coffee machines not working. Overall, would definitely stay here again!

The property was awesome, and this condo was beautiful. We had a great time and always enjoy NSB. We will be back again. The only downside was I wish we could have gotten into our until earlier, as we had to just hang out for about 4 hours.
Listed as ocean view , really a view of the courtyard, very nicely kept up though, you could see the water from the corner of the patio, little missleading but overall a very nice unit with lots of updates. Would stay again, the condo itself is well maintained, .
This unit is in a condo complex. It is very well appointed and has a great layout with an open kitchen and plenty of seating. We really liked that it was on the ground floor and close to the parking lot. The complex is well cared for, in a good location, and has a heated swimming pool. It is right on the beach although the beach itself is kind of narrow, especially at high tide. Lots of communication from the management company.

The pictures of this condo does not give it justice. It's beautifully furnished. I loved the chandelier over the kitchen table so much, it inspired me to get one for my own home. The bed was very comfortable and even the sleeper sofa was suprisingly not bad. The condo was clean, close to pool and was stocked with everything you might possibly need. The only suggestion I have is the screen door in the bedroom needs to be fixed, it does not close all the way. Great Ocean Condos had great hospitality and would definitely recommend this place. Thank you

This place was beautiful - you can see the beach from the patio. Pool is salt water and heated, unit has a great location.
Only draw back is that they are strict about not leaving the slider open - even with the screen shut - because of the salt water breeze and the corrosion it causes, it makes sense but I would have loved to hear the ocean and fresh air. I would totally rent this place again. Perfection
