We knew nothing about New Smyrna or the Black Dophin when we booked our trip for a week. What a pleasant surprise. The Inn is facing the gorgeous bay with views of handsome sailboats as the sun comes up. You can have your delicious, daily varied breakfasts brought to your room, but there are very pleasant areas to sit outside in the courtyard or on the front porch. The breakfast chefs are outstanding and Jennifer is always available to help in any way. She found that we had left pills behind and she kindly sent them to us on her own by Fedex. Taylor was an exceptionally genial host, who went out of his way to make sure we were happy. The Inn is a real gem, with plentiful parking, and easy access to the beach, boat tours, and the many historical curiosities of New Smyrna.

Stunning property. A real gem of a hotel. Lots of outside areas to sit and relax with beautiful views. Breakfast is served in the rooms which was a wonderful surprise but if you don’t want to eat in your room you can take your breakfast to the gardens. A very relaxed atmosphere.

The staff is so friendly and personable for anything we could possibly need. Room 108 was perfect!! The room and the ambiance was exactly what you want in a sleepy beach town getaway. Breakfast was a delight and the chef was a stand-up comic, story-teller, and fantastic cook. Even the dolphins cooperated--outside our window and visible thru the provided binoculars.

The Black Dolphin Inn is one of the best places I have ever stayed! From the moment I walked through the door I felt welcome, just like I was coming home. Jennifer was very kind and quickly checked me in. My room was quiet and very comfortable. While I was staying there was a problem with the circuit break for my room. Jennifer tried to fix it but needed an electrician. She moved me to another suite that was spacious, clean, quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast is delicious! The next time I visit the area I will be staying at The Black Dolphin Inn.

The Black Dolphin Inn was an unexpected treasure! From check-in to check-out, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. I’ve never been happier to give a review. What a unique place… you have to see it to believe it. The rooms were stunning and spacious. The decor throughout the inn was exquisite. The beds are luxurious and extremely comfortable. The homemade breakfast (there were 3 choices each morning) was incredible and filling! The staff is lovely. We stayed here during a wedding weekend and knew nothing about the town or area… we really lucked out when we found the Black Dolphin Inn!

Nice, large room with 2 comfortable king beds. Good breakfast as well. Located across from the river in a very nice neighborhood. The garden area is a bit small and can use some TLC. Overall a nice stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a unique hotel option.

Our room was large and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and staff were all friendly. The breakfasts were excellent and were different each of the 4 mornings of our stay. The main lobby and the porches and patios were all well maintained and easily accessible. We would definitely stay here again when in this area.

Me and my daughter came down for two nights for my nieces wedding. The property is super cute! Our room was absolutely adorable. Bed was super comfortable. Shower and spa tub was fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised that they offer to bring a complimentary breakfast to your room at the time of your choosing. The breakfast was so delicious! And there was a lot of food. Me and my daughter both saved the other half for the next morning- no need to be wasteful. Eggs, muffin, croissant, potatoes, fruit and OJ! The chef is amazing. The whole staff is so nice and accommodating. I definitely look forward to coming back. Too of my list of favs for sure!!!

I’m so glad we found The Black Dolphin Inn! We came to NSB for a wedding and stayed the weekend. The room was perfect, and my favorite part was getting breakfast delivered to our room every morning, and eating it on the balcony while watching the squirrels play in the huge live oak! Definitely recommend!

This is an amazing eclectic boutique hotel. I would stay here over a Hilton any day. It feels like home, the staff is so friendly and welcoming, and a Chef personally makes breakfast for the guest each morning. Do yourself a favor and visit this property on your next trip to this area.

My wife and I came here for a weekend away, it is a beautiful property and a great location. Our view was of the intercoastal water way from the balcony. It happened to be the night that the Christmas boat parade was going on, which made it even more beautiful for an evening on the balcony, and of course more expensive of a stay. It was very relaxing until Sunday morning when their landscaping maintenance crew showed up at 8am when our breakfast was brought to our room. This is advertised as a bed and breakfast with the highlight being having your breakfast delivered to your room and eating it on the balcony overlooking the water. Instead, as we started eating breakfast, the gardener started mowing the lawns throughout the property, but began in front where the rooms with balcony's were. In addition, they also used their blowers which kicks up dust, etc everywhere. Needless to say, what my wife and I thought was going to be a nice breakfast with a view turned into a quick retreat to the room. We ended up leaving our stay early just to get some peace and quiet elsewhere. It ruined the bed and breakfast feel. Breakfast is supposed to be the culmination of a wonderful weekend at a bed breakfast, but our stay didn't not end up that way. I don't understand why the landscaping would not be done after an 11am checkout, or at least after their last 9am delivery time for breakfast. I am surprised that out of all mornings to have the landscaping done, they choose the morning after the
