Beachfront bungalow

Amazing views from every window, ocean, beach, pelicans, dolphins..! Lots of windows, sunny! Great spots to sit in the sun and read on the deck or indoors. Walks on the beach are the best, can walk to Chase’s or Breaker’s for food. Sunrises are spectacular! Crystal anticipated our every need and left generous gifts.

Dreamy!

We wish we could have stayed longer. This property is a dream come true. It's better equiped than my own home! There were only adults in our party, but families with kids would have a blast too. Waking up to the view of the ocean and having coffee on the upper balcony were my favorite things. We didn't go to any restaurants because cooking was such a pleasure in this kitchen (yes, the was dancing). The host communicated well and we had the best time. If you're hesitant about booking, this is your sign to do it!

Joe's farewell

I stayed here two years ago with my best friend and last February he passed from cancer, so we booked this year to remember our friend and to say farewell. It was exactly what we needed. The house, and beach were beautiful. Highly recommend staying here. ❤️

Perfect beach House

Every detail was thought out by Crystal the owner of this beautiful home. Modern, decorated amazingly detailed, views directly on the Ocean and easy access to the beach. If you are fortunate to have a rocket launch during your stay you will be in awe! It will be a perfect beach house get away to those lucky enough to get a reservation.

Family Beach Trip

Our family had a wonderful stay at Bob's Beachfront Bungalow. The house has everything you need and more. It was spotless upon arrival and the welcome gifts were amazing. There is a great view of the beach. It is close to Flagler Avenue and the many restaurants in NSB. We enjoyed our family time at the beach house.

Wonderful stay

I would 100% rent this property again. The house was so charming and perfect for our family of four. Crystal seriously thought of everything from incredibly comfortable beach and bath towels, sheets, fully stocked kitchen, beach toys, hair ties, a welcome gift…...the list could go on! The location was also great; close to Flagler Ave but far enough away that it was really quiet on the beach.

Oceanfront perfection!

This beautiful bungalow is one of the best oceanfront properties we have ever rented! The deck gets the warm morning sun then cool afternoon shade … both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. From early morning coffee to afternoon cocktails, the view and the sound of the waves stole the show! Inside? Absolutely pristine and Crystal’s attention to detail made our stay perfect in every way. The minute we opened the door we knew we had found paradise. We had stopped on the way in to purchase all the things you usually need in a VRBO rental but found that stop was absolutely unnecessary! EVERYTHING we could ever need or want was provided! Located on the drive section of NSB, it was a beautiful mile and a half stroll up the beach to Flagler, and only half a mile in the opposite direction to Chases on the Beach …. What more can you ask for? So thank you Crystal for sharing your beautiful home with us and for perfecting the art of hosting … we will definitely be back!

Best Bungalow on the Beach!

My family and I had an amazing trip!! There were so many surprises and amenities, we were in awe!! It began with Bob, the turtle running in to greet us, a July 4th charcuterie board waiting for us in the fridge, the best of ocean views, a huge deck with real cushioned patio furniture, to great days on the beach and great restaurants at night, and a marvelous bed to sleep in! I am sure I am missing something, but I recommend you give it a try and tell Bob that I miss him already!!!

Amazing place

The property is amazing, it’s hard pressed for me to give anything a 5.0 BUT I gave this place a 5.0 however I did not like the fact we could not keep the doors open and was not a huge fan of the camera on the back deck, I probably should’ve reached out to the owner, hence a 5.0. However, It is very clean, well stocked, very quiet, and the owner was extremely responsive to anytime we needed!! The beach views are awesome, we all agree we would definitely book this again!!

Fabulous Beach House in NSB

Excellent location on the beach; could easily walk down to the ocean. Great view from the spacious deck overlooking the water. Inside it was clean, comfortable and with a beach themed decor. Tons of stocked items in the kitchen and bathrooms really enhanced the experience. Convenient location to get to the cute downtown with lots of restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you from our entire group!!

Just Book It!

We have stayed at this property a few times now but this was our first stay since Crystal purchased it. She took a beautiful home and really elevated it. It feels fresh, new and like home away from home. We really appreciated the collection of books and games when we had some rough weather and had to stay in. We will definitely be back for another stay!

Beyond expectations!

I can’t say enough great things about Bob’s beach bungalow. From the moment we booked communication was fast and efficient. Check-in was a breeze. Location was amazing! Right on the beach but an easy walk for our teenager to walk down to Flagler. The place is adorable and stocked with everything that you may need and definitely an A+ for cleanliness! So grateful for a great place that accepts dogs! We loved it so much that we already booked another stay!

Cute, Classy, and Quirky (in a good way) Beach Cottage

The moment we walked through the door our mouths dropped open in awe. This beach cottage is exactly as described and as the pictures depict. It's quaint, but not small, unique, and tasteful (without being fussy). The location is great, direct ocean front, close to excellent restaurants and Flagler Avenue, and not too close to high-rise condos. I agree with another reviewer that while we LOVED staying at Bob's Beach Bungalow, and Crystal is an absolute dream to work with, we want to keep this gem a little hidden for our own selfish reasons to be able to stay here again, and frequently. Crystal truly has thought of everything you might want or need for a beach stay and has provided more than "the basics". Everything is good quality and in ample supply. Truly a home away from home. We are already planning another visit in a few months.

Bob's Beach Bungalow- lil bit of heaven

From the moment we opened the door we were absolutely stunned! This home is gorgeous, super clean, smelled so good and windows everywhere facing the ocean.You can see the ocean from every room in the house including the shower! The spiral staircase is so cute and there are adorable beach decorations everywhere and themed with turtles, as Bob is the turtle that lives at the house! We saw him too!! The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed with and adorable gift bag with wine and chocolates and beach towls and even an amazing charcuterie board was in the fridge! We were starving when we arrived so this was such a pleasant surprise. We went for my sons 16th birthday and he was super happy! The home is equipped with everything you could possibly imagine!! And its literally directly on the beach which we absolutely loved. The morning sunrises were magical and the sunset and nightime walks on the beach made for the most incredible pictures. We made memories that will last a lifetime. Honestly I didnt want to leave. Im incredibly grateful for the time we spent there. Loved every single moment. And the host was incredible! Thank you so much. We will absolutely be back again!!!!!!

Quaint Beach Retreat

Such a unique & charming beach house located right on the beach. This home owner has thought of everything that one might need up to the smallest detail. From the moment you walk in with the welcome basket & goodies you know your about to envoke upon a amazing retreat. The decor is so kitchsey & everywhere you look you see fun accents full of beach vibes. I couldn’t stop snapping pictures of all the decor. The views of the beach are stunning & loved waking up & seeing the ocean. Loved everything about this unique home & it’s just so peaceful that it was hard to leave to actually go do other activities while on vacation. Already planning our return trip. Owner is very accommodating & love that we were able to bring our two small lap dogs & that this home even caters to FIDO. Hoping to get back very soon. Just don’t want to rave too much about it as I’m selfish & want to be able to get a resy whenever we want. Lol 5 stars

Relaxing! Fun!!

This has been one of my favorite vacation rental experiences to-date. This beachfront home is “one of a kind” and I am so thankful that the owners make it available for others to enjoy. The picture windows (and spacious / comfortable deck) offer breathtaking panoramic views of gorgeous New Smyrna Beach. The interior open concept on the first floor is perfect for spending quality time with family (reading, talking, eating, playing games). I loved the comfortable bedroom and well-equipped bathroom combos on each of the two floors. My daughters thought climbing the spiral staircase to their “master suite” was charming. The (namesake) turtle lore throughout “Bob’s Bungalow” offered interest throughout the stay. The host, Crystal, was one of the most generous and accommodating with whom I’ve had the pleasure to interact. Every detail is considered and superbly executed. You get the feeling that she cares deeply about her guests and goes to great lengths to ensure they are cozy and comfortable in their “home away from home”. I look forward to the next stay!

Family Vacation

A dream come true! This property was perfection from all the views, decor, convenience, and location to the beach and also surrounding Flagler Avenue for shopping and restaurants. Bob, the bungalow’s namesake, put in several appearances during our stay. The outdoor shower was so nice for coming in from the beach and washing our shells we collected. Every detail was above and beyond and much appreciated. The welcoming gifts were a nice and thoughtful touch as well. Would recommend this property for anyone looking for a special place to stay at NSB and will be coming back again. You really want for nothing and we definitely packed too much. Loved the book and game selections and the spiral staircase was a hit! (Watch out for no-see-ums in the early morning and late evenings. Not sure if they come out at certain times of the year but be prepared with something to repel them) In summary, look no further for your dream vacation location! This is it and you won’t regret it!

The PERFECT place to stay in NSB!

If you're searching for beach rentals in NSB, you can stop looking. This house is perfect, absolutely the ideal location for our family of 4 (+ Golden Retriever), and the level of hospitality is unmatched. We truly felt like we were staying at the home of a close friend, from the much-appreciated welcome basket (bottle of wine & charcuterie after a LONG drive from Chicago - yes please!), the perfect beach decor, and anything else you could possibly need for your stay. Everything is brand new and stocked in abundance, from the cookware, lotions & toiletries, pet accessories, pack 'n plays, beach entertainment - you name it, Crystal, the owner, has thought of EVERYTHING for your stay. If you want to sit on the deck and watch the sunrise, the fully-equipped coffee station and large deck await; If you want to hit the beach, grab some toys, wave boards, and a beach umbrella from the "beach closet" and the sand is just outside the door; If you want to explore the local area (NSB, Dunes Park, Canaveral, restaurants), they're all a 5-10 minute drive. Even Daytona is only 20 minutes. And despite staying there during the height of spring break, Bob's Bungalow always felt private and secluded. One more thing, there's a gopher tortoise den on the property, and "Bob" sightings became a part of our daily routine. We can't wait to go back!
