    Best place in New Smyrna to stay ! Very clean, great amenities, friendly staff and fantastic breakfast selections. The property is absolutely gorgeous

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Beautiful property. Breathtaking view of the Bay. The complementary breakfast was really good. Good wine and beer at the bar. The only thing is that this time our suite was located on the main floor. We could hear every conversation happening at the lobby, which means room privacy was not ideal. We'd definitely come back but we'll make sure to book a different suite.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was perfect! Staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! We will be back

    Location. Nice, friendly, helpful staff. Not as charming as we expected. Room was just okay, nothing special. Maybe a little more upscale than typical hotels, but lacking of warmth and charm. We’ve stayed at many B&Bs and inns over the years, this was our least favorite. Breakfast was very underwhelming. Offered three menu choices the night before. All three were items we could get in any restaurant, nothing special or what you’d expect in an inn. And the actual food and presentation were disappointing! Plus, we’re older folks and our room was on the second floor, with a very tough walk up outside without a railing. Again, not expected. Thank goodness the weather was good.

    The Black Dolphin Inn is the best place to stay in NSB. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is 10/10... of course!

    Price for one night

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Beautiful inn, great views, well-appointed, great breakfast, kind and helpful staff, comfortable bed and linens. Really enjoyed the stay. Breakfast was great -- they worked around my schedule, printed documents I needed for court, packed my breakfast to go for an early departure, made restaurant and other recommendations, pleasant, relaxing, peaceful, beautiful. Thanks for the great stay!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    I thought the bar had a pretty good selection for a bed and breakfast. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. We had absolutely no problems with our stay, and we will definitely return!
