Great Little Getaway

My husband and I, along with our two dogs, stayed at this property for a little beach weekend. The location was amazing, right on the beach and directly next to an access. It was also walking/biking distance to great restaurants. The property itself was clean and easy to access. Would visit again!

Great location

Couldn’t have asked for a better place! Being able to just walk out directly on the beach was incredible! The other guests staying at the other units were not only very nice, but extremely knowledgeable about the area! One couple suggested a local restaurant that was an out of this world experience! We truly had a wonderful time. Our host was very responsive to any issue or concerns that we had. Highly appreciated and respectful!

Perfect Getaway!

We got lucky and booked this for a quick weekend getaway. It was perfect for our needs. Our dog was very welcome, and the deck was blocked off for him to be able to enjoy the perfect ocean view with us. Several great dog parks in the area as well as many local restaurants that welcomed him. We had medical equipment delivered the day before our arrival and the host took care of this for us. She also welcomed when we arrived as well as carried half of our luggage to the room for us. We could not have asked for better accommodations.

Beautiful views

We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views, right on the beach. Only negatives were there was no hot water so taking a cold shower was not so pleasant. We heard a dog barking a lot downstairs. Also there was a wedding party going on so there was a lot of people going in and out which made a relaxing getaway not so relaxing. They were partying on the beach but all these people were on the property off and on. Was a little disappointed and not being able to enjoy a golf cart for the day. They were all taken assuming for the wedding party. I understand first come first serve but seemed a little unfair for other guest. And lastly some of the blankets smelled that were on the couch. Luckily we brought our own. Otherwise place was clean and very accommodating. Views were breathing taking. Thank you

Great Beach Retreat

This property was everything the description described and more. We loved staying here! The house was clean and comfortable. The beds were fantastic. The location was perfect! The beach was ideal for families. The owners did a great job of adding a lot of nice touches to make it feel like home. It didn’t lack anything. They also did a great job with providing detailed information about the property to make our stay very enjoyable. Next time we come to Florida we would love to stay at this property again.

very comfortable, direct beach access

The pictures are true to life. The place was spacious, well supplied with the basics, and everything was super comfortable. I've stayed other places where it seemed all the furniture came second hand and was very uncomfortable. There was a reclining sofa, recliner, and 2 other chairs. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. It is gorgeously well kept. The owners always responded within an hour if not immediately to any questions we had. I would love to come back for another stay!

Huge and spotless apartment, super-accessible and kind owners

Dear Teri & Frank, I just wanted to say 'thank you' for our lovely mini-vacation. Your property is wonderful - Dad rated it as one of his favorite - much larger than we anticipated, spotless, and beachfront. I went w/my parents, who are a bit older now and so transporting a ton of things to the beach, staying out in the sun all day, etc., are not great options. The apartment has a big deck out front and the owners supply table w/umbrella and chairs, so we could sit outside whenever we wanted, especially since there was always a breeze. Teri & Frank clearly put a lot of thought and work into the property. I could go on about details, but that would be volumes, so a few examples - the well-insulated doors/windows really block out all sound and help keep the apartment cool. Other details we found really helpful - designated parking (and shaded!), a well-organized shed stocked with beach gear (chairs, etc.), and a quality outdoor spigot for rinsing sand that is leakproof and super-easy to turn off/on. The *only* drawback, IMO, is that the property is on the driving-permitted section of the beach, which is certainly not under the owners' control. Still, while we were there, people were very respectful - no speeding or cruising, cleaning up after themselves, etc. So I know we'd definitely go back and recommend the property to others (my parents left w/a handful of their business cards!). If you are lucky, Teri & Frank and their pups will be there, too. The owners were wonderful to us, and not only permitted my parents to check in instead of me, but were also looking out for their arrival to make sure all went smoothly. After checking w/us, they also 'shared' their sweet pups, who are great company. Thanks, again, and all the best to the four of you, Ana

Nice place great view

The home was good but only had one tv in the living room. Considering that there is a cleaning fee, you are expected to remove all towels and linens on the last day and put away all dishes and cookware in the cabinets. The Microwave over the stove didn’t work, the lighting in the kitchen and living room is poor and the refrigerator has no handles. I like the area but needs a little attention.

About the host

Hosted by Teri & Frank

Host profile image
We got married at Angel Inn the Sand just after it was purchased in 2013. We both have a love for the ocean and spend as much free time as we can near the water and at the house (when it's available)! We live in New Smyrna Beach and love to be part of the small business community!

Why they chose this property

The house itself is so unique and special....you will just have to come stay and see for yourself! The views are spectacular and we allow you to bring your pet family as well. We don't go anywhere without ours and would not expect you to either!

What makes this property unique

We are pet friendly!
