This property is a hidden gem. The house is right on the beach. Loved the beach view, beautiful flowers, manicured landscaping, clean modern fully stocked rooms including washer/dryer. They even had bikes available and “green egg” smokers. Frank, the owner, was beyond accommodating. Highly recommend this Joy by the Sea.

We had a delightful time at this property. It was clean, bright, and exactly as advertised. It has lovely access to the beach and a beautiful pool area as well. It was within walking distance to everything we wanted, and we never moved the car once we arrived. It was very homey and well accessorized. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was easy to prepare meals in. It was in a quiet location which we felt very safe and comfortable in. We had 8 people in the unit, and it was very functional for that number. It is definitely on our go-to list when we are looking for another beach weekend!

Incredible property just steps from the beach. Management was attentive when we called for help and they even called just to check in several times. No shortcuts were taken in the construction of these villas. Everything was top notch!

Beautiful property! I recently had the opportunity to stay in one of the villas and absolutely loved the experience! The villas themselves look brand new, are very spacious, and have excellent amenities. Outside the villas you get the benefits of direct beach access, parking right in front of your unit, and a beautiful pool to name a few of the highlights. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for the perfect beach getaway or event venue!

Wonderful experience start to finish. Just returned from a beautiful week at Joy By the Sea and can’t wait to go back. The Villa, as well as the overall property, are top notch. Everything is new, the beds are extremely comfortable, and you can’t beat having the beach just steps away!! The owners spared no expense creating a lovely retreat you will want to come back to over and over again.

Excellent property on the beach!! Very recently renovated with brand new amenities (including modern features like Bluetooth speakers in the hot tub, Green Egg grills, outdoor brick oven, beautiful pool/patio overlooking the beach, new AC units, and more). Perfect for couples or families – six villas and a full size home available for rent. If you’re in New Smyrna there’s no better place to stay!!

Joy By The Sea is the PERFECT place to host an engagement party (or wedding)! The venue was beautiful and the views were spectacular. My family and friends loved everything Joy By The Sea has to offer, including the conveniently located villas, the spacious patio, and the pristine interiors. Our party was Amalfi Coast themed, and it really felt like we were transported to Italy while at Joy By The Sea. If you’re looking for a gorgeous and unforgettable location to make memories, whether that be through a party or a vacation, this is the place to do so.

My husband and I recently stayed here for a weekend getaway and had a wonderful experience! Our villa, the pool, and aesthetic of the property as a whole was truly 5 star! We can’t wait to book again for our next visit. Thank you Joy By The Sea!

We booked our Christmas family reunion/celebration at Joy by the Sea. It was truly a wonderful experience. The owners spared no expense with beautiful Christmas decorations making it truly feel like Christmas. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home and provided special treatment. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the views of the ocean spectacular. We were steps from the beach allowing us to take our morning walks without getting in the car. New Smyrna Beach is a quaint town with nice restaurants and quick and easy access to stores and shops. It really was a pleasurable stay and I look forward to staying there again.

Cannot recommend this place enough!! I stayed here over the weekend for my first time visiting New Smyrna and plan on staying here again when I come back!

The property was BEAUTIFUL. The Villas have beach access to a beautiful, clean beach (best I’ve ever seen!), as well as a pool. The location is prime- close to the grocery store, Starbucks, and dozens of amazing restaurants. The villas themselves were absolutely gorgeous! You could tell they were newly built and they had all the amenities you could want for a beach weekend. The villa I stayed in had a parking spot right in front of the villa, two hi-tech smart TVs with Netflix, Hulu, and any other streaming app you can think of, a new keurig, a HUGE shower, the bed was extremely comfortable…! But the best part was the attention to detail! The villa had a ton of bath towels, beach towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispenser in the shower- there were even two razors available for use!

I can’t say enough good things. Loved my stay here and can’t wait to come back!

Just spent five fantastic days in the beach house at Joy By the Sea. The house is fully furnished and stocked with everything you need. Everything is new and top of the line. The beds are extremely comfortable and we had a hard time getting out of them in the morning. The beach is your backyard here. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Had an amazing weekend at Joy by the Sea!!! The location is perfect and our suite was incredible. Everything is top of the line, we can’t wait to return!
