Hotel Ocean Trillium Suites (New Smyrna Beach, USA)

Private beach access and stellar ocean views are the biggest draw here. Views vary according to which direction your condo faces, so get details at time of booking (units ending in -04 likely have the best beach views) Excellent water quality for swimming and water sports. There are rental chairs and umbrellas available on the beach a short walk away if you didn't bring your own. Beach access is by key card only. There is also a sparkling, clean swimming pool on-site if you prefer to stay off the sand. The property is older but appears to be mostly very well-maintained by owners. Housekeeping is available daily and will replace any used items. Free Wi-Fi and parking is offered as well, and don't miss the next door restaurant/bar which has a band on weekends and plays music nightly for all ages.

Condos are well-maintained, clean, spacious and comfortable. Decor varies according to owner preferences. Balconies are lovely and separate living/dining areas are a nice touch. Views vary according to which direction you're facing; ask at booking for your ideal view. Full kitchens are convenient and provide most necessary cooking utensils.

Very friendly and efficient staff make your stay comfortable from arrival to departure.

Parking steps away from the shoreline didn't appeal to some guests since it seemed sunbathers might rather have that spot - but were asked to move their towels from from "prime parking areas.".

Some reported their units were less than ideal with ants in some areas and strange items in the bed. Check yours out before booking if possible.

Take a peek from your window ahead of payment if possible - some "stellar sea views" are reportedly obscured by other buildings.
