Quiet, sooo comfortable, easy access to beach for sunrise and sunset and all day. The House offers peace, cleaniness, sleep-your-morning-away bed, and easy kitchen with all that's needed. Favorite spot - out on the deck early morning to see sunrise colors, late evening to watch the stars and moon. Nothing like it!

The House On Crawford Cottage is in a sweet location so close to the local beaches. It is an apartment on the top of a garage with a beautiful view. The decor inside is very beachy with convenient appliances for a comfy stay. It was soooo clean and neat…first impression was spectacular to my husband and me.I have given the poor rating due to several facts. The small window type air conditioner was totally inefficient to cool the apartment.Contact with the Host bore no solutions. Outside temp was 90 degrees…inside temp was 85 degrees. Very unacceptable.Host became impossible to contact to assist us.Contact with VRBO Helped us with 1/2 refund of our money so we could seek other accommodations, which we did.Post “vacation” has presented no further satisfaction from the Host.Bottom line, Cute, very Beachy Cottage. Stay any time BUT NOT IN THE HOT MONTHS OF FLORIDA!

Anniversary getaway

My husband and I had a wonderful visit to New Smyrna. It was our first time there but it won’t be our last! The Cottage was perfect for the two of us. Short walk to the beach and only several blocks to Flagler with great shops and restaurants. Enjoyed having our coffee on the porch.

Cottage stay on Crawford

This studio cottage is perfect for one or two people for a private getaway. A 3 minute walk to the beach where you can use the beach chairs provided. Only about a 10 minute walk to Flagler. Close enough for easy access, but the 6 block distance allows you to leave the busy pace and head back to quiet. We will definitely stay again.

The BEST place for rest and relaxation!

What an incredible spot for a weekend of quiet, cleaniness, comfort, ease of stay! Short walk to the beach, or drive onto beach at 8:00am. Deck with chairs and table for breezy afternoon. Super comfortable bed, shower! Kitchen well-equipped. Nothing more to be said, except... stay here! You will love it! The hosts are very communicative and exceptionally kind. I'll be back!

No communication from anyone. Called and texted and received absolutely no response. Very disappointed with that. Place is very small but fine for us since we were there only to sleep but way too many knickknacks for such. Small place.

Great location but a couple of improvements required

The cottage has a great location - close to both beach and the bars and restaurants of Flagler Avenue. We both found the bed very uncomfortable and too warm. Part of the mattress seemed to be a piece of foam plus the bedding itself did not seem to be of high quality material. We also found the air conditioning very noisy. So if a couple of things could be improved, we would score it more highly for a short break.

Holiday Stay

I was there between December 22 and December 24, 2024. Unfortunately, the drive to New Smyrna took longer that I had anticipated and I arrived at night. I had to call for help finding the door and using the lock box and I was helped over the phone by Corrine and in person by Ian. They have an "awesome" housekeeper as well. The place has a perfect location in a charming neighborhood close to the beach. The beach was a great place to take walks. There are no long boardwalks or stairs on the beach and the sand was firming packed down making walking along the shore a true pleasure. There are cars on the beach, but the road is well controlled and maximum speed is 10 mph. Drivers were friendly and waved as they drove by. There was also a life guard one day. The place is comfy for one person and well equipped. It is a historic building that is very well kept. Almost everything in the living area is painted. There's a small kitchen area with counters and a sink well stocked for one or two people in a hotel-like stay. Bathroom has been remodeled for modern day users with a small shower, etc. I would recommend the stay for short stays and solo travelers. There's a nice garden area for outdoor access and a deck with chairs.

Recommended, But Make Sure of One Thing in Summer

Pros:o Great and safe location. Short and easy walk to the beach. Quiet back streets to Flagler Ave, The Garlic and Norwood restaurants.o Well stocked unit. The small refrigerator and freezer definitely come in handy.o Many streaming choices on the television, if desiredCons:o Low water pressure in the showero Minor, and hard to call this a con, but the ceiling is angled at the wall interfaces. This can be an issue for forgetful or taller people (head bump potential). Anyone taller than 5'10" cannot stand straight up at the toilet. o Easily fixed - there were no instructions in the unit. Our only issue because of this was the email we received from VRBO had incorrect WiFi information, which was quickly rectified with a text to the owner.Why the title of this review? This unit is above a 2 car, unventilated garage. Heat rises. Additionally, there is one large wall facing east (summer sun beating on it). The means of cooling is a single window air conditioner that the owner has subsequently assured me adequately cools the space. Unfortunately, we did not experience this. Apparently the a/c unit sometimes requires a defrost period to work to its designed capacity. We felt cool air from the unit, so assumed it was doing the best it could (typically frozen evaporator coils prevent cool air flow entirely). Bottom line - stay at "The Cottage", but make sure the owner confirms the a/c is operating properly just prior to your arrival, especially in summer.

Quaint and clean space with amazing balcony to simply relax on. Surprisingly large bathroom, ample kitchen space - it really is the perfect cottage. The staircase up to the cottage is a little narrow which made me nervous about banging our luggage on the walls going up.

I have stayed at this property before and had have a wonderful review. I couldn’t wait to share this special place with my husband as a way of unwinding from my daughter’s wedding week. However, upon entering the home, there was a box fan placed and running in front of the window AC unit and it never really cooled despite turning down the temperature. I did notify the owner but she said there were no other units available for us to stay in as they were all booked. It made staying inside or sleeping difficult because it was just too warm in there. Other than it never really cooling, this cottage is a perfect location as we could walk to the beach in a matter of minutes and walk to Flagler Street for shopping and restaurants with ease. The balcony/deck is a huge bonus, as well. The owner did state she would need to replace the window AC unit with a stronger one to be able to better cool the cottage. Not sure we will be back, though.

Close to the beach, Flagler Avenue, the river... it is the best spot in New Smyrna Beach!
