Hotels nahe New Smyrna Beach (New Smyrna Beach)

We were emailed the wrong lock box number. So after driving 3 hours in holiday traffic and paying WAY too much for the room we couldn’t even get into the room!

Clean, quiet, beautiful, great neighborhood. Very easy to check in and out. My family and I were very pleased.

We had a wonderful stay at beachy keen and are already making plans to stay again in the future

We found dead flies and ants all over the carpet in living room and bedrooms, but the toilet and sinks were clean as if the unit had been cleaned but sat empty for awhile. We reached out to rental company and they sent cleaners the next afternoon to vacuum and mop floor. There were dark stains on the living room and guest room carpet that did not come up when they vacuumed. The couch had red stain on middle seat and the couch and living room chairs were very uncomfortable. They had not cleaned behind the couch in awhile as I found some dried bread and large clumps of hair there along with ants crawling on couch and side tables. The front door and door lock had been screwed back in place as if someone had kicked in the door at some point. The view from patio was, however, wonderful and community pool was clean so with no other viable rental options, we stayed because of the view and pool.

The condo was in a perfect location and had great views. The pool and the walk out to the beach made it a perfect spot.

Before we review this property, I must tell all of you that we had originally booked a property on the West Coast of Florida, however, had to cancel at the last minute due to the Red Tide. So.... We sent messages to this owner prior to booking it, we never received a single message back. Once booked, we received an automated email response confirming our rental, etc. We rented this property the night before we started our 1 week stay there. Check-in on Sunday, July 25 wasn't until 4:00PM EST. We live in Central Florida, weren't in a hurry to get there however, we haven't had a proper vacation since pre-COVID. We got into New Smyrna Beach around 2:00PM EST, hadn't received our 'Welcome Email' with our check-instructions. We called the only number we had which provided us with immediate answers to parking, how to gain access to the condo and other important details. This provided a bit of relief to all of us, so we parked and proceeded to the second floor to check out the condo. Now, some additional context may be needed before I write about the next part of our vacation and this condo: The pictures and descriptions of this property are so misleading, it is really unfortunate. I will start by saying not having a vacation with my wife and kids for almost two years because of the pandemic, this vacation meant more to all of us than words can explain. We all needed this time together. Upon entering the condo: Immediately, we could tell that this condo was so dated, unkept, not clean and quite frankly disgusting. We no sooner walked into the condo when two workers showed up saying they were there to verify that everything had been cleaned and readied for our visit. Well, it wasn’t. The level of grime, old, splattered food, mold and just pure filth was everywhere. The countertop in the kitchen needed to be cleaned thoroughly, the silverware tray was full of grime and spoiled food, it was so gross. If we didn’t already pay in full with no refunds available, we were stuck to make the best of it. Before we put our cloths away from our suitcases, we had to clean all surfaces, drawers, cabinets, etc. The washer seal was full of bold, we had to run a hot cycle with bleach to clear it out. We called the management company; they came out to fix the vertical blinds that were missing 6 blinds. A man came out, fixed some and left. No sooner did he leave when my wife went to close the blinds and the vertical blinds replaced fell out onto t

Everything was wonderful. Very clean! Pool was never busy and kept clean. Condo had everything you needed. We would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was well stocked with any cleaning supplies you would need. Beach chairs and umbrellas. Just one complaint. The rim under the kitchen sink was not clean and around the faucet.

Chateau by the Sea, Unit 13 C is beautifully maintained. We rented 6 units for a family gathering and Unit 13C was by far the nicest. My wife felt like we stepped into a “Pottery Barn” catalog. This is a ground floor unit with ocean views and easy in and out access to the parking lot. The Great Oceans Condos management team was prompt on our request for issues with the keys and even rushed over a parking pass as I forgot ours at home. We will definitely stay here again should our travels bring us back to NSB.

Right at the beach ! The manager Tony was so helpful and professional. I highly recommend this property
