Guest Reviews

Josh (10/5): -
Brendan (10/5): Beautiful property the rooms were lovely - Location. Vibe. Great breakfast. Lovely. Nothing it was just wonderful
MaryLou (10/5): Wonderful experience with charming Old Florida style and hospitality!! - Old Florida at its best!!! The Inn is exceptional in style, comfort, cleanliness and staff. Wonderful relaxing experience with a view of the river and seeing dolphins play. Our room was extremely large with two patios. Tastefully furnished and comfortable. Wonderful romantic setting for any age to appreciate. The inn staff genuinely cares about their guests especially with the breakfast preparation and presentation. Possibly the breakfast area with two small tables for 4 people instead of one long table for 6 people. The weather was too hot for us to want to have breakfast outside on the patio or in our room which were other options.
lindabW8039DY (10/5): Gorgeous Bed and Breakfast - From beautiful view of the intercoastal waterway, to the huge room, comfortable bed, large soaking tub, refrigerator, keurig coffee maker, not to forget the great breakfast choices and my room had 2 balconies! This is a beautiful bed and breakfast very welcoming. I would stay here again.
Trek754210 (10/5): Incredible Stay at the Black Dolphin - what a special experience we had while staying at the Black Dolphin a few days ago. They unique charm and Bohemian beach decor was especially wonderful. The view of the Intracoastal also was amazing. And the friendly, professional staff gave us a flawless vacation . Thank you!
Dale (10/5): - Second time staying a Black Dophin. Great location. Breakfast of good.
Timothy-Deeona (10/5): Thank you all again for an amazing stay! This time we brought 2 other couples that will also be back again :-) - We love staying at the Black Dolphin! Such an amazing property:-) The is absolutely nothing not to love!
Pamela (10/5): -
Roseanne (10/5): We had a wonderful stay. A bonus was viewing a satellite launch from the upper balcony! -
Manfred (10/5): great staff, very clean, very boutique. - Our stay was extremely pleasant. I enjoyed speaking with Taylor and then with Jessie (?sp) who served breakfast. It was a great experience. The next time we come to New Smyrna to visit family, we will book here.
DeborahF518 (10/5): Great Stay in New Smyrna Beach - The Black Dolphin offers a lovely place to stay in a great location for exploring all New Smyrna Beach has to offer. A charming historic Florida residence on the Indian River with multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy. Our room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast offerings are nicely presented and satisfying. General Manager Taylor Smith and his staff provided welcoming, friendly, helpful service throughout our stay. We’d definitely return.
davidtK808ON (10/5): The staff, location and view are fabulous!! - This was either our fourth or fifth time visiting! The Black Dolphin has become our "Go-To" getaway spot for overnight visits to New Smyrna Beach. Staff is incredibly polite and accommodating! Already planning another visit for early fall. Check out the rooms on the website. We know our favorite rooms!! :) The only item is that the dock area is no longer there. Regardless, the property is very well maintained, rooms are fantastic and well equipped.
Sandra (9/5): - Tolle Lage und ein sehr schönes altes Gebäude mit viel Flair.

Traveller102144 (10/5): Charming and comfortable small inn - This is a charming property… historic and unique with a great location in New Smyrna. Walking distance to town. Our room was immaculate and newly renovated. Staff was lovely and helpful… honestly this place is wonderful I would stay there again.
Williamr (8/5): -
N6491CMcarolc (10/5): Black Dolphin Inn - a great choice - We had a wonderful stay recently at this lovely inn. We especially enjoyed being able to sit on our private porch and watch all the river activity. Next time we need a getaway, we’re heading back!
Terence (9/5): -
Alexis (10/5): Peaceful, surrounded by beauty - This is a beautiful hotel, an older estate that has been redone. The rooms and bathrooms are so pretty and beautifully furnished! The linens are great. You make a breakfast selection the day before, and can have it in the lobby/kitchen area. Or have it delivered to your room. There is a 24 hour coffee station, as well as a coffee maker in the rooms. I like the location, in a lovely neighborhood away from the beach, near the cute downtown. It is on the intercoastal and there are always dolphins playing in front of the inn. Our room had a balcony overlooking the water, with comfortable furniture. This was our second visit but will not be the last! It would be nice to have use of bicycles. Last time we brought ours but decided not to this time. There is so much to do in the area that we did not miss them too much.
Rosier777 (10/5): The most wonderful Inn in NSB - Outstanding Inn! Wonderful stay for a couple. Very inviting decor and high in comfort and views. In particular, Taylor, was so helpful and friendly during stay. Be sure to stay here if you want the best in the area without any pretention.
tabjen56 (10/5): A wonderful stay at The Black Dolphin - This was our first stay at The Black Dolphin Inn and hopefully it won't be our last . We had a lovely warm welcome from Jesse and the rest of the staff were also warm and friendly. The Inn is in beautiful spot overlooking the river, spotlessly clean and our room was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and made to order each morning. A short walk to the quaint town , lots of interesting shops and restaurants.
cherylwK8730NI (10/5): New Smyrna Beach stay at Black Dolphin Inn - The Black Dolphin Inn is a lovely place to stay on the Indian river with dolphins jumping in view of bayview rooms and the large porch area for all guests. The neighbor hood consists of historic residential homes and is very quiet. Nice walking or biking. Restaurants are 10-15 minute walk and the Ocean is across the causeway bridge to the busy Flagler St area and beach access is two miles away. We stayed in the bayview room with a lovely porch and seating area. The room was well appointed and immaculate. Breakfast is include which can be served in your room or eaten in the common areas of the Inn. We enjoyed the Cape Canaveral national Seashore, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, rented bikes and road on the beach it was excellent. Restaurants- many to choose from the Inn has many suggestions. We enjoyed JBs Fish Camp for casual happy hour fun on the water and Riverpark Terrace for a nice dinner and they have live music.
Lana (10/5): Perfect stay for a work trip - Location was awesome. Breakfast was delicious. Nothing. Everything was great
Elizabeth (9/5): Romantic historic GEM! - Nice selection of teas and coffee...Breakfast was very nice and staff were great people with interesting suggestions. The local art community was a lovely surprise. All in all a wonderful getaway that we will definitely return to!! Tastefully restored and maintained historic architectural gem that is just Beautiful!!

211randyr (8/5): Black Dolphin Inn was a delightful stay - My stay at Black Dolphin Inn was delightful. The check in process was quick and very friendly. Because I was on the second floor, she offered to help me with my suitcase. I chose a room with small private balcony. The delightful part of that is that it has a huge tree limb that shares that space as well. The room and attached small studio area were very clean. The room was quiet. The area was very well lighted when returning late at night by myself. I enjoyed the location. Breakfast of tasty choices was cooked by a chef and served in the lobby area which was a very inviting area to chat with other guests. Parking is challenging but I always found a space. Getting in and out of the tub in this room would be challenging for someone who has balance issues. The drapes needed repair (connection at top to rod). Overall, I would return again if visiting the area again.
Deborah (10/5): - The staff was amazing! The Inn was beautiful and very quiet. The location was good, walking distance from restaurants and shopping. We often visit New Smyrna and the Black Dolphin is the best property we have ever stayed at. WE WILL STAY AGAIN!
JypsiJ (10/5): Black Dolphin is a treat! - Our stay at Black Dolphin was fabulous. The staff go above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was top notch and it was nice to have the bar available for a drink. Unfortunately, we were there during a cold spell and didn’t use the outside areas but it was charming and well kept.
H5266BJjamesk (10/5): Excellent. As Advertised. - Thanks for an excellent 7 day stay. Place was as advertised. New Symrna is a real hoot. Lots of fine dining & Canal Street is within waling distance of Black Dolphin. Back next year if all goes well.
Thomas (10/5): -
UglyBuffalo (10/5): Another very favorable review - What’s not to like. The room was a great size (we stayed in one of the suites that accepts pets). The roo’s entrance is off the courtyard. We never utilized it but it’s a protected area where an animal can walk their human. Lovely streets surround the Inn. Riverside Drive, in front of it, can be busy with commuters in the morning and evening but it’s worth crossing for a nice lawn a close view of porpoises and water fowl. Probably the best feature is the bar/kitchen where breakfast (from a limited menu) is cooked on your arrival. You select from 3 dining time options and seating that includes the bar, a common table, the front patio, or your room. Chris and Jason are genial and very good chefs. The rest of the staff (Spender, the onsite, overnight manager, Taylor and Brett, the hosts, and Jessie) are ever-present, non-intrusive, and very helpful.
Stefania (10/5): - Location, boutique size & very relaxing. Super friendly & helpful staff. Food is incredible.
Michael Tommy (10/5): -
Edna (10/5): -
Zianbeth (9/5): Spent a lovely wedding weekend here. Rooms, Staff & Ambiance were wonderful! - Breakfast was great... good meals and variety fresh fruit. The historic building had lots of character with balconies and porches. The crowning jewel was a back courtyard that allowed us come together have a tea and relax Walls could be a little thin if you had loud neighbors
Christina (10/5): -
Arnaldo (10/5): -
Cathy (10/5): My happy lace - Breakfast was wonderful! Staff beyond friendly! The rooms are so beautiful and unique The rain??!
Jane (10/5): - Breakfast was fantastic! Loved it all and have been recommending it to anyone heading to Florida.
Kim (10/5): Perfection within walking distance of town. - The Black Dolphin is within easy walking distance to the historic town of New Smyrna Beach. There is quite a selection of restaurants, shops, galleries, historic sites and a cute museum. We looked forward to our wonderfully chef cooked breakfast every morning. Sitting at the bar, looking into the kitchen and chatting with the chef and manager was a fun way to start our day. They always had great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Our room was cute, clean, cool and comfortable. It was always a treat to come back to after our big days. When we are in the area we will always stay here. We liked everything!

SallyKey (10/5): Great Staff - I'm not a bed-and-breakfast aficionado so I will only comment on the marvelous staff. The two young women who were working there in the afternoon/evening and then the next morning were terrifically positive and accommodating. They were the highlights of our stay! If the world of customer service were dominated by individuals with such positive attitudes, we'd all be smiling all the time.
Easterling (10/5): I highly recommend this place. It's a lovely place with a great view. - We had a wonderful experience at the Black Dolphin Inn. The building and grounds were beautiful. Our room very large and comfortable with 2 balconys. Breakfast was delicious and we had a choice each morning of what to pick. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I liked their selection of keirig coffee and they flavored creamer which I loved. We will definitely come back. Nothing

Rhodora (10/5): - The whole Experience. Stairs , because of my husband Knee problem.
Barbara (8/5): - Location, building, welcome. For that price, little things matter. The breakfast was disappointing in cardboard box and not very healthy. The shower was not working properly, neither was the heat or the remote control and the bed too soft and split in the middle.
Carl (8/5): -
Mariefla (10/5): Extraordinary! - What an absolutely beautiful place. As a member of select registry properties, we always look for the best possible bed-and-breakfasts, and this was one of them. The location, the staff, the amenities… Everything about this place was incredible. Thank you to Taylor and the staff there for providing us with such wonderful accommodations. Can’t wait to return.
carolaU7008CP (10/5): The Perfect Dreamy Getaway - My beloved took me to the Black Dolphin for a romantic birthday getaway. We arrived in a rainstorm & Sharon came out with an umbrella to walk us in. Taylor took our breakfast order for the next morning from 3 yummy choices. This is a fabulous B&B, one which we can’t wait to return to.
Andiamo2010 (10/5): Relaxing getaway at the Inn! - We loved the Inn!! My Sister and I stayed at the Black Dolphin Inn two nights to take a break between the holidays. Our room was large and beautiful- we could see dolphin jumping from our balcony! The made-to-order breakfasts were delicious. Everyone was very nice!! The Inn is located in a beautiful neighborhood - it was quiet and close to restaurants, shops and the beach. See you next visit!
B6073HElindau (10/5): Thanksgiving weekend - We were in Orlando for Thanksgiving and decided to complete the weekend in New Smyrna. Black Dolphin Inn was recommended by my sister in law. It didn’t disappoint. Easy to find and beautiful property. It is in a quiet neighborhood on the intracoastal. Everyone was very friendly, rooms were spacious and comfortable. Breakfast included with stay, and you had a good selection to choose from.
343dianneg (10/5): Beautiful and Relaxing! - We spent three nights at Black Dolphin Inn for our Anniversary, November 16-20th. Everything was perfect during our stay. Loved the Honeymoon Suite, breakfast was very good, beautiful view of the Indian River…we will definitely return. Highly recommend the Inn when staying in New Smyrna Beach! Ted and Dianne Gerrell
Heather (10/5): We stayed an extra couple of days as we liked it so much - Great location- very comfortable, freshly cooked breakfast, friendly staff
Heather (10/5): We enjoyed it here so much we stayed for two extra nights! - This is a wonderful place - beautifully appointed, friendly staff, good location Nothing
Trail02882910250 (10/5): The only place worth staying - This place is spectacular. It gives true B&B vibes. The rooms are accessed from the outside through a central courtyard. They are literally just rooms so not a hotel experience but that's not the vibe you're going for. The staff is very courteous and breakfast is cooked for you daily, unlike other B&Bs that offer maybe some cereal or pastry type breakfast. The view of the river is great, with the possibility of seeing dolphins frolicking around sunset. My new go to spot in NSB!
John (10/5): It was an amazing stay, my wife and I will definitely be back! -
edbowers (10/5): Super. Great. Comfortable - We just came back from new Smyrna and it’s great black dolphin bed-and-breakfast. This is the most quaint bed-and-breakfast we have ever been at. The staff bends over backwards to take care of every wish that the customer may have. Special note to Jason for the great breakfast we’ve had last couple days. The room was well done and quite well interior design designed. The bed was super comfortable. The parking is very close and secure. There is nothing that I could say that I would wish more for at this place. I only wish that it was closer to Palm Beach County. They excelled in taking care of my wife this week for her special birthday. My thanks to Jon, Taylor, Jason, and the balance of the staff for a super great stay. We shall return.
kimhN914WR (10/5): Fantastic Anniversary Trip - My husband and I spent a few days at The Black Dolphin Inn for our 30th anniversary. We loved everything about our trip especially the complimentary breakfasts every morning. We enjoyed watching dolphins from the front patio and soaking in the big tub after a long day by the water. We look forward to going back soon!
April (10/5): - The ocean view from our balcony was wonderful. Saw dolphins swimming. Beautiful area. Breakfast was wonderful, fresh with different choices. The staff was friendly, helpful and most accommodating.
vfine2021 (10/5): Beautiful Inn, convenient, with a great vibe. - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast was excellent, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the property was absolutely beautiful. We loved sitting on the balcony adjacent to our room, among the trees, watching the dolphins swim in the Indian River. The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. I loved the soaker tub! The location is convenient to restaurants and shopping on Canal St.& Flagler Ave.; the beach is just a few minutes drive; and there are some beautiful sights to see in the local area. As a bonus, we made new friends over breakfast. We will be back!

Amy (10/5): - Breakfast was very good!! Nothing....great stay.
Terrie (10/5): - We've looked at visiting this property for over a year, we finally decided to reserve a room. Let me say we were very pleased. It's very clean, quiet, great staff, breakfast was delicious, and the view of the Indian River was exactly what we wanted. The only thing I would change on our next visit is the room. Because I'm a light sleeper, the room on the first floor would not be my choice, due to it being to close to the kitchen and foye. The light shining through the window from the porch light being on all night bothered me. But other than that, the place is a little paradise. We met serveral people who visit the place often. It will definitely be a regular getaway for us! Thanks, Taylor and staff for the warm welcome

Hope to return someday.

G3951LKdonnar (10/5): Last minute weekend getaway - This was our 3rd or 4th stay at The Black Dolphin Inn, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. From the moment we walked through the door and were greeted by Taylor to the morning we checked out, our stay was just as nice as our first visit in 2018. The rooms are well appointed creating a tranquil setting along the Intracoastal Waterway. This is a very unique property, offering up a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. They have an amazing staff who will go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful experience. Did I mention the breakfast? You definitely won't leave hungry. Their executive Chef, Mackenzie does a phenomenal job with offering a variety of options to start your day. I was sad she wasn't there this time around, but I did manage to snag a copy of her cookbook - "Grilled Cheese Social." I can't wait to try a few of her recipes. The owner, Brett and his family continue to raise the bar while maintaining the "specialness" of the Inn. We look forward to many return visits in the future.
LESLIE (10/5): - Beautiful and the staff was excellent. 10/10.

Thomas (10/5): - Gorgeous place, nice setting, immaculate, delicious breakfast. Will stay again.
Sara (10/5): - We enjoyed quiet and peaceful evenings. We drove onto the beach during the daytime and spent our days there. The room was well kept and well decorated (reminded me of visiting my grandma's home in San Diego as a child--coastal/ mid century Dutch). Bedding, temperature control, shower, etc. were all great. Breakfast wasn't "wow" food like the photos show, but it was fresh cooked and we enjoyed getting to sit at the kitchen bar. The staff was friendly and helpful during our entire stay.

mandym414 (8/5): Beautiful Views - We stayed here while on the way to a boutique hotel we go to every year. We had been wanting to stay here for a while. I am going to be very honest in my review. I am unsure as to how the reviews are so high for this hotel. The best part was the staff- they were wonderful. So welcoming. There is a cute lobby bar and I feel like the caliber that is represented should have a complimentary happy hour. I just feel like this is a missed opportunity. I have to address breakfast. It was not good at all. It was served in a to go box and the orange juice was in plastic cups that I actually told my husband I had never had my juice served in a mouthwash cup. It was that small and plastic again. Breakfast should be on dishes at any hotel but a boutique hotel plastic has no place in. It was shocking to me. They have a courtyard that is darling and another missed opportunity for a tiny pool/ attached hot tub, fountains/ water features etc. I realize that I am not giving this the number of stars I really feel like this should have but I just can’t because the staff was so, so great. I hope this is read with the understanding/ appreciation that I just see missed opportunities and feel like I don’t even know why some of these corners are being cut.
