If you have never been to New Smyrna Beach in the Fall & Winter find out for yourself a locals secret - New Smyrna Beach in the Fall and Winter is one of the best times to visit. No crowds, beautiful weather and lower prices.

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.

2022 Family Beach Vacay!

We always enjoy the experience at Southwind! Our grown kids come over and this is a great space with some extra room for all of us. The owners do a great job of keeping the place updated each year....this year we loved the master bath reno the most! The King mattress was improved. We had never been up to the rec room on the 12th floor, that is a cool space with ping pong, pool tables, a great view! We love the combination of being right on the water with such a comfortable and updated space. Always great!

Amazing Condo Right on the Ocean!

I can't tell you when I've stayed somewhere that I enjoyed more than this beautiful condo on the water in New Smyrna Beach! It is not only in a prime location right on the ocean, it's a fantastic end unit with amazing views from two sides. The furnishings are lovely and carefully selected to maximize the views, as well as being comfortable without being fussy. The new balcony furniture is great! You can cook a full scale banquet with the well appointed kitchen...and it's always nice to find a selection of kitchen basics, like spices and oils. This owner thinks of everything! There's also a whole closet full of beach toys and chairs for families. It's really everything you need! Just bring your toothbrush and swim suit and you're all set! I highly recommend this condo. You won't be disappointed!

Quiet, spacious, well appointed and in awesome location.

I loved my stay here in the Southwind complex in Martin Hering’s 3/3. The second floor location removes the need to use the elevator with steps conveniently located right outside my preferred south end location and has lots of parking in gated lot. It’s spacious balcony provides perfect views of the ocean yards away on the no drive beach, and furnished for meals Al fresco. All 3 baths are remodeled, kitchen up to date, and all bedrooms well appointed for any combination of guests. 4 large TVs, great dining and living room areas, and no owner is more accommodating than Martin, quickly responding to any question or need. Like having a consierge ! It was cool weather, but the large pool looks beautiful, and the tennis courts, shuffleboard and basketball are well kept. Martin also has the large hall closet full of beach equipment. I will definitely be back!

Amenities not working

When we,7 people, got to the condo in the afternoon we did not have enough towels for shower, beach towels, glasses to drink from. On the second day the air conditioning did not work. They came 3 times to fix it and in between we had to restart it. A lot of hot nights The ice maker didn’t work and that was another call to the manager. The furniture were old and dirty. The only good thing was the location and the wies from the balcony

Five Stars is Not Enough!

Five stars is not enough for this gorgeous corner condo, right on the water! It’s full of light on two sides with breathtaking views of the ocean from the balcony, like being on a ship! The owner pays great attention to detail and this place shows it. The furnishings are handsome and comfy without being fussy, the bedrooms are beautifully furnished, and the kitchen has everything you need to create a gourmet meal! Every December, we use the massive peninsula to make Christmas candy and cookies. (Cooking with a view can’t be beat!) The two new walk-in showers, in two of the three full bathrooms, are great to have after a day on the beach! For us, one the best parts of this condo is that it’s on the second floor, high enough for a stellar view, but low enough to get in and out of easily. We usually don’t bother with the elevator…we just pop down the open air stairwell, located outside our door. Easy in and out! We so appreciate that the owner is always available online to answer questions or make recommendations in the area. So, whether you just want to sit and watch the waves, view a rocket launch or day trip in the area, this condo is the perfect spot to be! We’ve been coming enough years now, and it’s starting to feel like home! We will be back!

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!

Perfect place to stay for a beach getaway!

This condo was perfect in every way! It is adorable and has nice upgrades inside. We really liked being on the second floor-we didn’t need to take the elevator, and it gave you the perfect height for a great view on the balcony of the sunrise each morning. There’s plenty of space-each bedroom has its own bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with multiple coffee makers, air fryer, and more. Everything you need for the beach is there for you-from plenty of beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, beach toys, and more! The kids played tennis and basketball daily. All the equipment is available in the condo as well. The home host is amazing! He checked on us often and shared recommendations for good restaurants and other things to do.

We had a great stay at this condo. This was our second time staying and will be returning again next summer. The unit is very clean, in a great location, and has a great view of the beach. The unit also has several beach chairs, boogie boards, and plenty of beach towels. The beach is not very crowded in this area which is also a huge plus.

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.
