We checked in about an hour early - parking in the garage was a little intimidating. But once we figured it out, it was great! Covered parking on the beach is terrific. Plenty of luggage and shopping carts to get your stuff from your vehicle to the room. The unit was well outfitted with everything you needed. Washer and dryer was a wonderful addition. The main living room is large - the pull out sofa was on one end allowing the other side to be used to watch TV. PLENTY of lines and towels available. Toys & Chairs for the beach were great! We will stay here again!

This is an excellent condo with fabulous views and lovely decor! We were also very happy with Melanie, the on-site property manager, and her prompt response to a sudden elevator outage that required folks to go up the stairs. (For us, there were eight flights--not a problem in general but if it had been, the elevator service was notably restored within about 30 minutes of the breakdown.) There were only two factors that really detracted from the experience—daily!—during our ten days. First, the toilets in both bathrooms are possibly the cheapest available on the market. One has to press down very hard on the handle to get them to flush. Usually, that means flushing twice because they are truly the cheapest and worst toilets available at your local Lowe's, Home Depot or Ace Hardware. Second, the pool's wall tiles were filthy, covered in a thick, visible layer of oil, dirt and sand the whole ten days we were there. The sign at poolside advises users never to "drink pool water", which was rather surprising since it was not particularly inviting. Worse perhaps was the fact that there are NO umbrellas anywhere next to the pool. So you are in full sun with no shade. Other nearby condos (just two buildings down) where other family stayed did not have impressive apartments but excellent pool facilities, lots of umbrellas, and truly a beautifully cleaned, perfect pool every day. Please address these issues and we would go back every year!

Nice property for a family of 4 with two kids young enough to share a bed. Partially updated. Minor maintenance issues and deep cleaning in the cracks and crannies of the condo would be good. Plenty of beach amenities. The balcony, proximity to the beach, and the salt water pool were our favorite things about the property.

The condo could use a good deep cleaning. There were hairs on both bathroom floors when arrived. Beds not comfortable at all. Location was great. We lived in Daytona bch shores many years. Now live in Atlanta.

we did not have asset to condo. when we arrived, so we had to wait, Thanks Mr. Moody for all your help. shower needs to be clean; you have mold. knob in shower awful mold needs to be taken off and clean, bottom of shower nasty. no battery in bedroom remote, also couldn't adjust temp. needs battery. knob missing on washer. We have stayed in this unit several time, but not up to par this time.

Great Place with wonderful views! Close to the beach and pool. Very clean with nice decor! Would definitely stay there again.

With a gorgeous view of the ocean from a long balcony as well as from most rooms of the condo, this property has such potential to rate a five-star review. Unfortunately our stay was marred by annoying management issues. Before going into the cons, here are some of the things we loved about this condo. * Ahhhh, the view. It was wonderful to sit on the balcony or the couch and look out over the ocean from the 8th floor. When it was too cold to go out, we still felt as though we were on the beach. It was a nice place to entertain our visiting relatives. * The condo is very nicely furnished and the beds are super comfy, not too soft and not too hard. * The kitchen appliances, including the fridge, have been recently updated. * Our last evening we stood next to the beach at the pool and saw a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, very special experience for us all. * The rolling baggage racks near the elevators were very handy. And now the cons, mostly due to management issues rather the condo itself * Our check-in instruction “Upon arrival, please head to the front desk to receive the key to your room” was totally wrong. The office accessible to the public was closed. In fact, we never saw it open the entire time we were there. Luckily the last reviewer had given us a heads up on the key problem and we emailed for alternate directions before leaving home. Even so, check-in was not without complications and there was no one available to ask for help. Finding the keys and navigating the garages and elevators is confusing to an incoming guest. * Our two Evolve “guest contacts” never answered the phone number supplied. We called four times, twice about check-in and twice about heat issues. Twice it just rang; twice we got the answering service. The wifi network and password included in our email from Evolve were both incorrect. * The temperature dropped to the 40s but we couldn’t turn up the heat because the thermostat was remotely controlled by the owner. We spent a sleepless freezing night and a day wearing our warm jackets in the condo before we could get help. * Our first morning we took the elevator down to ground level to take walk on the beach, only to find that access to the ocean level was closed off. We asked the woman in the little inside office how to get to the beach and she told us to go to the 7-Eleven and turn right. She never mentioned that the storm had damaged the Moontide walkways or that the beach near the 7-Eleven was 1/2 a mile away. The public parking lot there was also closed for repairs. If you have small children or lots of beach gear you may want to check whether this is still the case. Repairs are ongoing all along the beachfront. * One minor thing we wished for was more beach chairs—there were only two and one was pretty worn. The condo is beautiful and deserves better management. If staffing is an issue, as it often is these days, at least provide guests with accurate, clear directions for check-in and check-out, as well as details on the status of any beach damage and repairs.

The view is spectacular!!! My husband and I came to New Smyrna for a little getaway. Flagler Ave was so much fun and the restaurants were very good.... The Garlic (10+ stars!!), The Breakers on the water has great burgers and a great view! Crabby's was a fun little spot we went to before we checked in... bartender hilarious and food was very good. The check in email was not even close to what we actually had to do.... email said to see the girls at the front desk to pick up our keys ~ we couldn't figure out how to get in the building b/c you had to have a key. Chris, a worker at the Moontide that we saw in the parking lot told us they put the keys in a brown locker on the floor of the parking lot that we were on. Yep, they sure did.... but no one told us to check there.... thank you, Chris! I had also sent an email to my contacts with a question and never got a response. :/ Once inside the condo, it appeared very clean. The main living area was very nicely decorated and had a great set up. The balcony looked right out to the ocean but was a little cluttered with the amount of furniture on it but we still spent SO MUCH time there b/c it was beautiful. Kitchen and bathrooms were very very dated and needed some TLC. You could tell there had been work done but it seemed to be either rushed or not done well. Baseboards needed painted and kitchen cabinets/counters/tiles looked very weathered.... which brings me to the refrigerator. The inside was spotless, however, the outside of the refrigerator literally looked the refrigerator I have in my garage to store excess beverages (one that I rarely clean.... b/c it's in my garage and no one sees it) I bought Clorox wipes to try to clean the outside b/c there were stains all over it, but that didn't help. There was enough dish soap, laundry detergent, garbage bags for our quick little 4 night stay. They had beach towels and beach chairs for the beach and even small coolers which was lovely to have! We couldn't ever sit at the beach though b/c the tide literally came up to the beach access steps from 11-5 pm. Obviously, it's the time of the year (?) so we completely understood that. Overall, it was a decent property that needs some love, but I just expected a little more being an oceanfront property. We had a nice stay and liked the area a lot.
