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!

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!

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.

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

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.
