A Great Stay!

I spent a few days here with my family (including our pup) at the Gecko Apartment and had a great time. Teri was an excellent host as she was always available to answer my questions and was very accommodating. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice family getaway on the beach!

We enjoyed hosting Elvis and his family at our Angel Inn the Sand. They were perfect guests and followed all of our house rules and left the place very clean and tidy following their stay. We would welcome them back anytime to the beach house!

We loved our stay even though the King tides were in full swing and we couldn’t get on the beach most days. However, the patio area was perfect for sitting out and enjoying the winds and waves. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Stay

The house is right on the beach. We stayed downstairs in the "gecko" unit. It has EVERYTHING that you could possibly need for cooking and the beach. The owner is friendly and super helpful. We loved it so much that we booked the "fish" unit next year.

Great Place and Location

I had a great time with my family. Steps from the beach made it easy to go back and forth with my kids anytime they wanted to go out to the water. All the beach gear you would need on the property. We really didn’t need to bring the beach gear that we brought for the trip it was already there. Rooms very clean and confortable. Would book again.

We really enjoyed our visit. The view and location are incredible. The place was very clean and met all our needs. You can walk to restaurants and shops. I can’t even explain how fabulous the view is. The beds are comfortable. Teri is wonderful to deal and communicate with. She is not overly wonderful to deal with she made our short trip extra special. We look forward to returning next year.

The place had everything we needed. Although we never read that the place had a limit of 2 cars per unit. Even after we move 2 cars- evidently there were still issues - that was the only wrinkle. Otherwise - PERFECT!!

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 live in New Smyrna Beach, we love being small business owners and part of a great community!

Why they chose this property

The uniqueness of this property is what made us fall in love with it. Having a property that can bring families together is what it's all about. We vacation annually in New Smyrna Beach with our families and it's wonderful to all be together. We want this house to provide great memories to families for years to come....especially our own!

What makes this property unique

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!
