About this property
Hemingway Suite
A short block to one of the most beautiful beaches Florida has to offer. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, but just six blocks to all the hustle and bustle that Flagler Ave is famous for. Smyrna Dunes Park is a beautiful spot nearby. Rumor has it, Hemingway stayed in this suite.

My husband had vacationed many years in NSB and was eager to return. The vacation was everything we wanted. Great location, very clean, and comfortable.
If you are looking for a place close to the beach, restaurants and stores, Hemingway place is it! It’s a simple, no fuss apartment w/all necessities and close to everything.

Super affordable compared to surrounding properties. Huge master, kitchen is small but so functional, and you can walk to beach, stores, & restaurants! The reviews complained about the bed, but we thought it was fine. I would stay here again!
Host was very accommodating, given our tight schedule with the marathon, and allowed us to have a late checkout. The room was very nice, beachy, and quaint. Just what we needed to be able to rest up and enjoy our weekend. Close proximity to great restaurants and the beach.
Our bed was comfortable and morning coffee on the porch was a great way to start the day before our short walk to the beach.Be prepared for some limitations in the kitchen. You’ll need to unplug the coffeemaker before using the microwave or toaster, but you’re on vacation and not in a hurry, right?
Our daughter has home on Crawford across the street and 3 houses away. That house was full to capacity with family and grandchildren so we rented The Hemmingway.
BEST decision we made! We ate in breakfast and lunch but went out for dinner every evening so not having a full oven and dishwasher was not a problem at all. Perfect for 2 people!

It's ok
The property is nice enough. Close to Beach. The shower was not working... Hot water was a trickle. There is no thermostat for ac, whatever the owner or other guests feel comfortable at. The place could have been cleaner. Did not stay both nights because of the shower. Bed was comfortable..
The good - Great location with a short walk to the beach, fair price, spacious bedroom, bed is more comfy than other reviews have mentioned, nice porch to sit and relax, quiet during my stay. The apartment has a simple old-school charm to it. For me, the location to the beach and Flagler Ave were there biggest pluses.
What I wish was different - The shower was tiny and water drained too slowly with water collecting pretty quickly in the tray. I didn't realize how much I'd miss a couch or recliner. Seating was limited to arm chairs and I ended up staying in bed on the day it rained. The mattress topper was fine, but I think oversized sheets were used because of it, and the fitted sheet "popped off" too easily and often. Finally, I was hoping to use of the 5 bikes mentioned in the listing, but only 1 was road-worthy - but even that one was sketchy and I didn't use it after a test ride. The others had popped tubes that wouldn't hold air and one had no chain.
Overall I was pleased with my choice. If you don't mind the nit-picky things I mentioned, you'll enjoy your stay! For me, it was a 4 out of 5.

It was about a 3 minute walk from the beach which was really nice. The place itself was alright. The shower is awkward, the water pressure isn’t great, there was only one extra working outlet in the kitchen area with no outlets in the bathroom for getting ready, the bathroom sink was backed up which was pretty gross. The bed was pretty comfortable and the place was cute. There are also beach chairs provided and bikes that we did not have a chance to utilize. Our biggest issue was communication with the host. We did not receive check-in information. I realized this and sent an email to the host through Travelocity’s website prior to arriving with no response. When we got to the place we stood outside in the heat for 30 minutes trying to contact Vrbo and the host who Travelocity had the place available through. The only reason we were able to get in was because we saw the number for the cleaning lady on the table. Otherwise my husband and my pregnant self would have been stuck for who knows how long. When the host finally got back to us all she stated was “she would look into it to see what happened” and we never heard from her again. We still never received the check in information or rules of the house.
Enjoyed our stay! The owner was quick to respond and communicate. The unit needs its own A/C thermostat but otherwise perfect. We look forward to returning!
Home was extremely cute and a block away from a drive on beach. Hostess was kind and answered all my questions asap. Would recommend to anyone just trying to get away.
What a lovely quaint cottage apartment. Had a great 2 night stay. Especially loved the nice porch which had a great ocean breeze. Would definitely book again.
Easy and quiet location to the beach and Flagler- really everything! Quaint!

I have stayed at this property before and the cottage. But it was a few years ago. Location is wonderful and the property itself is very aesthetically pretty. That being said the building should be condemned and burned down. Old creaky drafty noisy zero water pressure accommodations. All of the outdoor furniture is yard art and totally unusable. Electricity is possibly the oldest I’ve ever seen. Made the best of it, but will never ever ever come near this place again.

Never heard from the cost other than email with a confirmation info. We loved the location and property but a few things made it disappointingWater had very very low pressure took a while to even get hot. Sink in bathroom drained very slow and we literally had no heat the last day of our visits . The temperature when we got up was in the 50s. We jumped up and immediately packed to leave due the cold temperature.
Really enjoyed our stay. The location was great and the place was really cute. It was perfect for us

It was quiet and in a good location. The host never responded, to concerns, after at least 3 attempts I stopped trying. The tv remote was very intermittent, batteries were changed 3 times and did not help. The microwave did not power on, no indicator lights. The bathroom sink is 80% clogged, and the water pressure is very low. The chain on the fan broke.
