Amenities abound, could not ask for more!
11 days in a great condo! Very well-appointed and furnished. Anything/everything you might need or want is there. I’ve stayed in high-end condos that were not as well stocked! Any appliance or “thing” you might need is here, we could have packed lighter. Very clean, nice furnishings, towels, etc. While we did not take advantage of any of the property amenities (pool, courts, etc) they all looked very nice. Host was very responsive, all while being in Asia on vacation himself.

Great family trip
We enjoy the lovely condo. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful with many trees and shady. Not a far walk to the beach but we chose to drive to the public beach access which is a little less than a mile with free parking and there was always a place to park. The condo is much larger in person than the pictures online show. The screened in porch is lovely and probably our favorite spot. The beds are comfy and the rooms very spacious! We had plenty of towels, wash cloths and beach towels. Every comfort from home was found at this lovely condo. There are many places to eat nearby and every one we tried was delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

We absolutely loved our week. Will return! This unit was extremely perfect for our three kids. 24,16, 11 years of age. Perfect size unit and super clean. We brought bikes to ride in the mornings. Loved having pickleball court. We enjoyed our walks to beach. Didn’t miss that we weren’t directly on beach. Nice to sit in the screened in porch and hear the waves.

Great Beach Week!!
Great location! The Villa was very nice, well appointed. I especially enjoyed the small screened porch and the open air deck. Very private and beautiful surroundings. Close to everything include access to beach. Easily walk over or drive on the beach. The drive on ramp is just down the street and easy access. The TV was a challenge for us (we are older), as there are 4 remotes! Otherwise we truly enjoyed our girls week. Thank you very much!!!

Hidden Gem Nestled In Trees
This property is a steal of a deal. It’s well stocked, clean, has comfy beds and linens, great outdoor and screen room seating, and feels so private (like a house). My partner, 19 year old son and I have stayed in 5-6 rentals in NSB and this was our favorite! We didn’t regret not choosing beachside at all. Sea Woods is welcome respite from the concrete jungle of rental properties in New Smyrna. There are beautiful trees and wildlife that surround you. We enjoyed walking (and biking with the bikes at the property), playing tennis, using the workout room, and using the heated pool (which was actually warm, unlike many other properties’ “heated” pools). Property owner was responsive to questions. Thank you!!!

My husband and I stayed at Sea Woods for our annual fall get-a-way and really enjoyed the property. It was nice to come back from the beach and sit on the back deck with a glass of wine while we discussed plans for dinner. Great location -close to beach and downtown NSB. Very clean and very quiet for a relaxing time away.

Fantastic villa, amazing community
Thank you, Jerry, for providing a wonderful place for my family’s vacation! We loved all the details, cleanliness, and amenities of the villa. It is clearly well cared for and we couldn’t have been happier. Sea Woods is a beautiful community. Everyone was very friendly and we appreciated how quiet it was at night. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and spending time poolside. New Smyrna is a quick trip to Orlando and was a great home base to explore that area of Florida. Thank you again and we look forward to returning in the future!

What a GEM!
This villa is located in a quiet, beautifully landscaped neighborhood. The 2 minute walk to one of the pools is nice and shaded, and the less than 5 minute walk to the beach takes you through a tropical, shaded path that you are sure to enjoy. The villa itself was very clean, and very well stocked with every necessity you could possibly imagine, down to seasonings in the kitchen cupboard, and beach chairs/toys! Plenty of towels and bed linens, as well as closet and drawer space for your belongings. Waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee in the sun room with the stereo on was so nice! Word of advice, don’t over-pack. This place has everything! We will DEFINITELY stay again!

Peaceful
Easy beach access, quiet area and friendly people everywhere! The condo had everything we needed including beach towels. But if I am being honest the furniture is uncomfortable. The master bed is as hard as sleeping on the floor, the livingroom furniture is very worn and doesn't comfortably sit 4 people to relax and watch a movie, which had it not been raining fairly often while we were there we likely wouldn't have noticed.

We are patiently awaiting the delivery of new living room furniture which, unfortunately, has been on back order for 3 months as a result of the pandemic.

Island perfection
Enjoyed out wonderful stay at Marco Island. Condo was exactly as described! Plenty of towels, chairs for the beach and even a rolling cooler. Pool area is lovely and always seemed quiet with plenty of room to read or enjoy a float. Restrooms in the pool area are emasculate. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of glasses, plates, silverware, pots, pans, storage containers, toaster and toaster oven, coffee maker and Keurig even a blender and full size appliances!! Also a few essentials like salt, pepper and cooling spray to get you started. A nice beach path is just across the street with easy pedestrian access. Total distance to the beach is maybe 300 yards. Quiet beach with plenty of space and great shelling. Easy access to JW Marriott where we visited with friends. Just south of the condo you will find beach shops, several restaurants, ice cream and coffee. To the north a bit try Samys for some amazing food! Love the quiet island vibe and walkability of this area!! Beds were comfy and balcony had beautiful views. My only recommendation would be adding some dressers to the bedrooms as I do like to unpack on longer trips and possibly a full length mirror. These are minor things however I would 100% recommend staying here you will not be disappointed!

Perfect vacation!
Great condo! Located about two blocks from the beach, the walk is tree covered and shaded. Cross the main street and you're guided to the beach over a boardwalk. The condo was clean and welcoming. Bedrooms are both large and are spaced one at each end of the unit. Anything that we could have wanted, was already anticipated. Anything we could have possibly needed was in the kitchen already. Bikes, beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, and even a rolling beach caddy to carry it all was available in the shed. We wanted to ride bikes on the beach, but the bike tires were low. We were about to abandon the idea, and then noticed the bike tire pump in the shed... Problem solved! The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. All linens and towels were provided. The screened porch was great, and the back deck would be awesome if you wanted to grill. Big TVs in both bedroom and Living room. Even a dishwasher, washer and dryer! The location was perfect. Quiet and friendly neighborhood, and not right in the center of things...but not far either! Communication with the owner was very simple and easy. Had a fabulous time... Highly recommended!

A quiet oasis
Typically we stay on the beach side of the road, so we were a little unsure about how we would feel having to walk, but we found that we actually really enjoyed the short walk to the beach. The Sea Woods community was shady and made for a great place to stroll! The pools were good, and although we didn't play tennis the courts looked inviting! The home itself was clean and the layout worked great for our family of 4. We particularly enjoyed having all of our evening meals on the back patio! We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Sea Woods Villa
Upon arrival we inspected the property and found it to be as described on VRBO site. There was a slight odor that gradually decreased during our stay -- once the owners were contacted, they addressed the situation -- time will tell if the odor is completely removed. Other than that slight issue, we felt that the villa met our needs for the period of our stay. We found the Sea Woods community was very friendly and helpful. We had hoped that we would be able to return next year for a slightly longer stay, but have found that the property has already been promised to another party.

BEST EVER
From start to finish both Jerry and this villa are the best. We've stayed in many types of rentals in many states and a few different countries and have never stayed in a nicer, more organized and well appointed residence. To top all that Jerry was so very helpful with written instructions wherever they might be needed and was quick to supply a very nice list of restaurant recommendations including some of his favorite places. We tried several of those that we had never been to before and had some great meals. The only thing that I regret doing is letting so many others in on what I would have liked to have been our new secret hideaway. This is a real gem and more than you would expect for the price. Also it's actually larger than the pictures. We'll be back!!
