"My recent stay at the Black Dolphin Inn in New Smyrna Beach was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. The inn has a stunning blend of coastal charm and boutique luxury—every corner feels thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and peaceful.
My room was beautifully appointed, spotless, and filled with natural light. I loved the little touches: cozy linens, tasteful décor, and a calming view that instantly made me feel at home. The atmosphere throughout the inn is relaxed and inviting, striking the perfect balance between casual beach vibes and refined elegance.
What truly sets the Black Dolphin Inn apart is the outstanding hospitality. The staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their recommendations made my trip even more memorable, from hidden-gem restaurants to the best sunrise spots along the water.
Breakfast was another highlight—fresh, delicious, and clearly prepared with care. Starting the day on the breezy porch with a gourmet meal felt like a treat every morning.
The location is ideal—tucked away just enough to feel private and serene, yet close to everything New Smyrna Beach has to offer. Whether I was exploring downtown, relaxing by the water, or simply unwinding in my room, everything felt easy and enjoyable.
I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and eager to return. The Black Dolphin Inn is a true treasure, and I can’t recommend it enough."
