Our goal is having all of our guests being 100% happy with our home and helping create a long lasting wonderful memories.

We recommend that you reserve your space soon as our condo books up very quickly. 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.

Also Includes a pack n play and highchair if needed. The owner is very easy to communicate with and always available to answer any questions. We will definitely return to Southwind 201!

If I had to choose one condo in this building, this would be the perfect choice! It is an ocean front corner unit with a magnificent vista, as far as the eye can see! Located perfectly on the second floor, it’s an easy run up the nearby staircase if you don’t want to bother with one of the two elevators. Inside, the owner has spared no expense in making it a comfortable and beautiful retreat to relax in. We love being able to view the frequent launches from our private balcony, watch the birds and dolphins play in the ocean, and hear the sound of the waves at night! The bedding is new and top notch. The kitchen has every appliance and cooking tool imaginable, and is fully stocked with all the little things you need to pull together a quick lunch or fine cuisine! There’s also a lovely lounging area on the second floor, not far from the unit, that is a perfect place to watch the sunset with a glass of wine. You can’t go wrong with this condo…It’s simply the best of the best! We can’t wait to return!

This property was quite simply, perfection. The unit was very well appointed, stylishly furnished and clean. A second floor corner unit allows for sweeping views, and easy access to the parking area, beach and pool. Three bedrooms, with exceptionally comfortable beds and three en suite bathrooms allowed both privacy and accommodation of differing schedules. There is an ample supply of linens, and a closet full of recreation items such as beach chairs, beach towels, an umbrellas, coolers, pickleball equipment and more. The kitchen has everything you could ever need. As a freelance chef and journalist, I typically travel with pans, spices, a knife roll, among other things. In this space, it was unnecessary - meal time was a breeze. A lovely twelfth floor retreat allowed one of our number a place to attend to some work, and enjoy the vista. The owner was accessible by email, telephone or text to answer any questions, or be of assistance if need be. While we didn't dine out at the many nearby restaurants, we did avail ourselves of a suggested local bakery, health food store, and fish market. (One of our party left some items behind - the unit owner contacted me promptly so that I could head back and retrieve)There are ample places to relax outdoors - the unit's porch, a second floor communal sitting area, the pool area, an outdoor patio, and of course the beach. The building is not overly large, is pin neat and very quiet. The entire experience was excellent.

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and detailed review. It truly made our day to read, and we’re so pleased that the condo exceeded your expectations in every way. Hearing that a freelance chef and journalist felt fully equipped in our kitchen is perhaps the highest compliment the space has ever received. We love that you and your group were able to settle in, spread out, and make the condo your own, whether that meant cooking fresh catches from the fish market, working from the twelfth floor retreat, or simply soaking in those ocean views. That’s exactly the experience we always hope to create for our guests. We’re also glad we could help with the retrieved items. That’s what we’re here for. Your comfort and peace of mind, from check-in to check-out and apparently a little beyond, is always our priority. We hope to welcome you and your group back again soon. The beach will be waiting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We just spent another fantastic week in this beautiful waterfront condo in New Smyrna Beach! This corner unit is in the perfect spot to have an unparalleled view, and waking to the sight and sound of the waves can’t be beat! Even in cooler weather, we spend as much time as possible just soaking up the warm morning sun on the balcony. There are two great elevators for unloading, although after that, we find it easier to use the stairs. There’s also a fantastic rooftop recreation room and a beautiful outdoor pool to enjoy. Plus, the beach can’t be beat for watching the rockets launch! The owner takes great care of this condo, and it shows in how well furnished and comfortable it is. We will be returning soon!

This was our second time staying in this condo and we love it. It is a 2nd floor corner unit right next to the stairs, so super easy to pop back and forth to the beach.

Beautiful Place! Great Vacation!

This is our 2nd stay in this spacious condo with great views and we look forward to coming again. This is a beautiful, bright end unit that is very clean and well equipped. All of the beach toys, towels, and gear are there. Just pack your toothbrush and swimsuit and enjoy the quiet beach - which is literally a 1-2 minute walk from door to sand.

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.
