My husband and I and our Golden Retriever are midway through our stay in Lynn's very comfortable home. We will definitely be sad when Feb. 28 arrives and we have to head back to Ohio. Even though the weather has been cool for Florida standards, we are enjoying every day. The neighborhood is safe and quiet with grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, post office, churches all nearby. It takes only a few minutes to be on the beach or in a park or walking down Flagler Ave. I've cooked most of our meals at the house and found the kitchen to be well equipped (small coffee maker for us caffeine lovers though). The master suite is very large with a huge bathroom and lovely jetted tub and rainfall showerhead. Floors are tiled so easily kept clean. We haven't been able to make use of the pool so far as it is not heated and the nights have been really cool. However, the patio is private and sunny and a lovely spot to relax while grilling out. Having a washer and dryer is, of course, a real convenience. We have gone to St. Augustine for a day; to Blue Springs State Park to see the manatees wintering there; viewed a missile launch from south New Smyrna Beach then ran across the street to photograph a sunset over the river; took in Cape Canaveral National Seashore; Dunlawton sugar mill ruins and botanical gardens; soaked up some rays on the beach (there is a fee for cars to drive on it);surf fished; viewed the Ponce Inlet lighthouse and also the Marine Science Center there; took in a movie in Port Orange a mere few miles on I-95; visited Daytona; went to the Artisan Festival in New Smyrna; took a 90 min cruise on the Indian River preceded by a buffet for only $19.95! We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here in New Smyrna and want to thank Lynn for allowing us to stay in her comfy home. It has been a pleasant experience. Lynn responds to your questions very quickly and was very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend this rental.
