We stayed here for a night in mid-October and had the perfect stay. It was our first time in the area. This was right after a hurricane too - but appearance and service did not lack! The property and staff are welcoming, we didn't feel bothered but if we had a question - someone was available to assist. We loved the neighborhood and enjoyed sitting on the patio the next morning with our in-room breakfast - watching the dolphins! We will absolutely be back.More

Spectacular room, clean, comfortable, elegant furnishings and exceptional service.
I was welcomed in my Brett, I think one of the owners. He gave me a tour of the property and filled me in on all of the key things to do in the area. I did see some of the staff busily working around the property and each one offered assistance is soon as they saw me.
Breakfast is not to be missed, seriously this is five star hotel quality from arrivals to the most amazing high quality breakfast every morning. Thank you for an incredible stay.

My spouse and I enjoyed our three-night stay very much. Best place to stay in NSB. The Black Dolphin has charm and character and is located in a nice part of town that is great for walking. Room 205 was spacious and comfortable, with a good bed and linens. It was nice and quiet. We slept better than at home. The staff is friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The cooked to order breakfasts were delicious. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck with a glass of wine or beer in the evenings. We will definitely return!

The inn is very nicely decorated, and the furniture was clean and sturdy. The room had a very strong and, at first, unbearable smell of bleach. I am glad it was clean, but we had to leave our door open to air out the place for about an hour. Not thrilled how the breakfast was served in to go containers, even when we wanted to eat in the main dining area. Felt a little less classy especially for the price. Not certain if we could have seconds but did not feel like we could request it. Jennifer was very friendly, and we enjoyed talking with her, but the owner was not that friendly. This surprised us as we stay at B&B often and usually, they are quite friendly.
Greetings from the Black Dolphin Inn! Thank you for sharing your recent travel experience with us as your comments are important to us in evaluating the levels of service and comfort that we are providing to our guests. While I was delighted to read that our inn was nicely decorated, I was disappointed to learn of your dissatisfaction with certain elements of your stay. Please accept my apology for the residual smell of the cleaning disinfectant products that we used upon your entry to the unit. This has been addressed with our Housekeeping department. Moreover, I appreciated your constructive comments regarding our food containers that we use in providing food service delivery to our guest rooms. Further improvement can be obtained and we will look into this. Lastly, thank you for singling out Jennifer for her friendly service . In conjunction with this. I am sorry that you did not feel comfortable asking her for more food and that a member of our ownership team was not more gracious in providing for your needs. Again, thank you for your review. We do hope that you will give us another opportunity to show you our true warmth and hospitality of the Black Dolphin Inn on a future visit.
Located right on the Indian River Lagoon, the setting of the Black Dolphin Inn is exquisite. The building itself is enchanting and we adored our experience from start to finish. Brett was so friendly. He gave us a detailed tour of the property as soon as we arrived so that we felt at home and knew where everything was. He even gave us a guide to Nee Smyrna which was helpful. The night manager Jennifer and her cat were so friendly also. We felt that anything we needed was right within reach. From the 24 hr customer assistance to the bar area this place has you covered. And the customer service was excellent from the moment we arrived until the moment we checked out.
The room was beautiful and so comfortable. Bath robes are a nice touch. The private dock overlooking the lagoon was amazing. We had our breakfast on the dock and watched dolphins swimming right nearby.
Food-wise -We are vegetarians and we loved the yogurt and fruit for breakfast. The only other breakfast option that day had sausage in it. We do eat eggs, so some option like eggs and toast or French toast would have been ideal, but the breakfast we had was very good! We appreciated the coffee and tea bar.
Overall, we highly recommend visiting New Smyrna over Cocoa beach or Daytona Beach. There is so much more charm and the shops on Flagler Ave are better than any at the other beaches. We had a wonderful stay and have already reserved our spot for next year! The Black Dolphin Inn must be the best place to stay in all of New Smyrna. Thank you for your hospitality! It made our anniversary weekend so special.
