This was our fourth stay at the Black Dolphin and it keeps getting better and better.
Cynthia
Best place in New Smyrna to stay ! Very clean, great amenities, friendly staff and fantastic breakfast selections. The property is absolutely gorgeous
Elliot
Very friendly staff.
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.

The Black Dolphin Inn is the best place to stay in NSB. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is 10/10... of course!
Susan
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!
Alexis
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!
Kathryn
Breakfast was a real treat.
Christa
Beautiful historic waterfront property where we watched dolphins every morning as we ate our delicious breakfast. The room was clean and spacious. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Lots of attention to detail every where you looked. The location was close to Daytona which was perfect for our two days at Rockville. The New Smyrna public beach was so close and an excellent place to relax. We would 100% stay here again!

Randy
Everything was great. Clean, friendly and helpful staff. Our balcony looking over the river was enjoyable and the breakfast on the porch was always delicious. Would definitely stay again.
Christopher
From the time we arrived until we left the next morning everything was perfect! Audrey who checked us in showed us the entire property and was so friendly and helpful. I called the day before we arrived to confirm our reservation and mentioned that it was my husband’s birthday. When Audrey took us to our room there was a complimentary bottle of wine waiting. The room was spectacular with so much detail and nothing left to chance. The water view from our balcony came complete with dolphin sightings. We will absolutely return to this beautiful place. Thank you for making it such an unforgettable experience.

2nd visit and it was just as good as the 1st time! Beautiful place!
oliver b
Great spot, unique and charming. Would definitely stay here again and recommend. Areas for improvement: security and presentation of food. Breakfast was good, but my omelette was dumped on top of my home fries and the sweets were served on the same plate as savory. Nit picky perhaps, but hopefully well received critique.
Theresa

Our stay couldn’t have been better! We were met by Sharon who checked us in and showed us our room. I mentioned that it was our anniversary and she left a bottle of wine for us! The room was immaculate. We had all the comforts of home. Our king size bed was amazing. Breakfast was prepared by Chris and he really outdid himself. The staff was very accommodating. I hope we have the opportunity to stay again! Thank you, Black Dolphin Inn!
Annette
My recent stay at the Black Dolphin Inn in New Smyrna Beach was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. The inn has a stunning blend of coastal charm and boutique luxury—every corner feels thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and peaceful.
My room was beautifully appointed, spotless, and filled with natural light. I loved the little touches: cozy linens, tasteful décor, and a calming view that instantly made me feel at home. The atmosphere throughout the inn is relaxed and inviting, striking the perfect balance between casual beach vibes and refined elegance.
What truly sets the Black Dolphin Inn apart is the outstanding hospitality. The staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their recommendations made my trip even more memorable, from hidden-gem restaurants to the best sunrise spots along the water.
Breakfast was another highlight—fresh, delicious, and clearly prepared with care. Starting the day on the breezy porch with a gourmet meal felt like a treat every morning.
The location is ideal—tucked away just enough to feel private and serene, yet close to everything New Smyrna Beach has to offer. Whether I was exploring downtown, relaxing by the water, or simply unwinding in my room, everything felt easy and enjoyable.
I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and eager to return. The Black Dolphin Inn is a true treasure, and I can’t recommend it enough.

The atmosphere throughout the inn is relaxed and inviting, striking the perfect balance between casual beach vibes and refined elegance.
What truly sets the Black Dolphin Inn apart is the outstanding hospitality. The staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area. Their recommendations made my trip even more memorable, from hidden-gem restaurants to the best sunrise spots along the water.
Breakfast was another highlight—fresh, delicious, and clearly prepared with care. Starting the day on the breezy porch with a gourmet meal felt like a treat every morning.
The location is ideal—tucked away just enough to feel private and serene, yet close to everything New Smyrna Beach has to offer. Whether I was exploring downtown, relaxing by the water, or simply unwinding in my room, everything felt easy and enjoyable.
I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and eager to return. The Black Dolphin Inn is a true treasure, and I can’t recommend it enough.

I traveled from Kentucky with my 3 younger children to spend time with my college son. I slipped upon this hidden jewel. Our rooms were spotless and our complimentary breakfast was amazing. I have to also brag about the staff for a bit. Everyone we encountered was nice and polite and made sure our stay was wonderful. Mrs. Sheila was the sweetest and even offered to help my son if he ever needed her help after I traveled back home. Folks like this are rare and I will definitely come back and recommend Black Dolphin Inn to family and friends in the future.

Premium accommodations. Attentive staff. Delicious chef-prepared breakfast.
From our initial greeting by Audrey, to being shown parking and then the room, this is exactly what premium service is.
Highly recommend the Black Dolphin! Words do not do justice.

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 watching the dolphins swim in the intracoastal. 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. We will be back!

This place was just adorable! Very homey! Next time we will stay in the larger room with a balcony facing the water!!

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

Gorgeous place, nice setting, immaculate, delicious breakfast. Will stay again.
Sara
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.
Ethan
Beautiful view of the water. The room had gorgeous style and decor. Lovely balcony. Breakfast was fantastic. Staff was amazing. Excellent time.

5 Stars !
Our stay at the Black Dolphin Inn was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the charm, attention to detail, and welcoming atmosphere. The entire property is stunning—elegant, peaceful, and full of character. Our room was luxurious, spotless, and beautifully designed, with every comfort thoughtfully provided.
The staff truly made our experience unforgettable. They were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The breakfast each morning felt like something out of a gourmet magazine—fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious.
The location is peaceful and scenic, right on the river, with breathtaking views (we even saw dolphins!). It’s close to the beach and local spots, but it still feels like a hidden sanctuary.
This was one of the best stays we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to come back. If you’re visiting New Smyrna Beach, staying at the Black Dolphin Inn is an absolute must!

Very hospitable staff. Quiet neighborhood full of old homes on the river. Safe feeling. Accommodations very clean and well maintained. Enjoyed our stay.
Skyler
Black Dolphin Inn was a beautiful, clean, and well maintained property. Staff was courteous and helpful with all of our accommodations. Having lived in the area my whole wife I surprise my wife with an overnight stay. We had plenty of room, privacy, and enjoyed dinner nearby at a local eatery. 10/10 would recommend!
Gary
Less than a 10 minute drive from the beach. The property is located in a residential neighborhood with limited parkig. However, the property is beautiful, the staff is amazing and the make to order breakfast was awesome. My wife and I relaxed in the courtyard late into the night and ate an amazing breakfast in the morning. A great place in a great location. Wr plan on returning soon.
Christy
Outstanding
Always enjoy staying at the Black Dolphin Inn, the Staff and the Manager is always nice and Friendly and the Breakfast every Morning is always on point. I try to stay there every chance I get.
Jeffrey
We did not get the specific room that we booked thru Expedia based on specific room pictures. We also had to stay in 1 room first night, then change rooms for the second night as there seemed to be communication issue between Expedia and the Black Dolphin Inn
Karen
A wonderful stay
We enjoyed a one night stay at this beautiful Inn. The staff were great and welcoming. The room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was eggs with avocado toast and it was delicious. A short drive to downtown Canal Street and Flagler Beach. Highly recommend staying here.

Poor breakfast.
The breakfast portions are extremely small. The hosts do not even offer to give more.

We loved our stay at Black Dolphin! Beautiful place and wonderful staff!
Vincent
Loved every thing . I can’t say anything negative about this place. It was so wonderful, but if I had to make a suggestion, I would take those little refrigerators and take them out of the closet so that there’s enough room to hang your clothes. Just a suggestion.
