AAA Inspector Notes

Inspector Pick (Classification): Stylish designs, a quiet location, hospitable owners and an out-of-this-world gourmet breakfast make this a top B&B destination for this inspector.

Enjoy quiet seclusion in rooms that feature stylish décor, luxurious bed linens, jetted tubs and cozy bathrobes. The property is serenely located near the Indian River in a quaint residential area. Upon arrival, the Spanish-style architecture of the inn offers a striking first impression. Towering trees wrap around and shade much of the exterior grounds. As you enter through the front door, you'll enjoy viewing vintage furnishings, elaborate designs, glass flooring and cypress pine accents which aid in illustrating the definition of boutique. The display kitchen faces the south and allows guests to view breakfast being prepared and perfected by the executive chef each morning. Smoke free premises. 14 units. 3 stories (no elevator), interior/exterior corridors. Accessibility (Call).

Pros: This B&B is absolutely charming! It's beautiful and fresh while still being very comfortable. I loved the little balcony off my room , and dreamed of someday having a house like that myself. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in New Smyrna now.

Cons: Unfortunately the jets in my tub didn't work, otherwise they would have gotten a perfect rating from me.

MEMORIBLE in every regard!

Pros: User friendly online booking program, superb photos on the website, and now I understand why I read so many positive and glowing reviews. The staff was so polite, friendly and most of all very genuine. I could not have been more pleased with my stay from check-in to check-out it was absolutely wonderful. I've traveled the globe and I can honestly say that this B&B is by far one of the most memorable of all lodging locations that I have ever stayed at. I've already recommended your B&B to several friends and I would certainly stay there again in the future. You did it right!!

Pros: The room was good and very clean. Quality of furniture and equipment in the room and towels and other stuff in the bathroom exceeded my expectations for this category of a hotel. The staff (and the owner) were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in close proximity to some excellent restaurants.

Cons: Parking was a little tight, but I found a spot next door
