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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
