Top Marine Science Center Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott New Smyrna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel, Great location just steps from the beach in the heart of almost everything you want to do in NSB. Only negative was at night, there is a 7-11 across the street which is very convenient, however there are some undesirable people hanging around there and they were also hanging out at the back entrance of the hotel doors. They didn't bother us, but its a little sketchy coming back at night so we avoided them and took the longer route through the front door. Other than that not one complaint."

Hemingway Suite

8/10 Good

"So cute and petite. apartment is upstairs. really cute outside. the bed was comfortable, but the pillows were pretty uncomfortable. There is no picture of the shower in the listing, which I now know is on purpose. The shower has zero water pressure if you want it to be lukewarm, and zero heat if you want water pressure. This place was perfect for the price. I am usually not not-picky but a shower is most important to me. would 100% stay again if the water pressure were fixed."

Dog Friendly Home by Flagler Avenue! Fenced Yard and Garage! Walk to the Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second time renting from Fun Coast, this time it was a different unit within the same complex, but the experience was the same high level as our summer trip. Seamless booking, great communication from the hosts, and a spotless condo a block off Flagler and 5-minute walk to the sand. Thank you again for providing the perfect home base for our trip. Can't recommend them highly enough and will definitely be booking with them the next time we are in NSB!"

"An absolute dream house to rent with direct access to a gorgeous beach. Plenty of room for our family. The bedrooms are spacious and comfy. My favorite part was the incredible view out the big kitchen bar window while drinking my morning coffee. Perfection!"
