Night Swan Intracoastal Bed & Breakfast

Nestled along the serene banks of the Indian River in historic New Smyrna Beach, Florida, the Night Swan Intracoastal Bed & Breakfast offers a captivating blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. This enchanting inn, featured on the Travel Channel’s “Hotel Showdown Impossible,” spans three beautifully restored buildings: the grand Main House, the intimate Cygnet House, and a cozy Guest Cottage. With 15 uniquely appointed rooms—each boasting queen or king beds, private bathrooms (some with oversized whirlpool tubs), and waterfront views—guests are invited to unwind in spaces that whisper tales of Florida’s storied past.

Imagine awakening to the gentle lapping of water against the shore, followed by a sumptuous full breakfast of homemade muffins, fresh-baked breads, fluffy scrambled eggs, and seasonal fruits, all served in the sunlit dining area. The property’s standout feature is its 160-foot, two-story deep-water dock, complete with five boat slips, perfect for avid boaters or those eager to explore the Intracoastal Waterway by kayak or pontoon. Pet-friendly policies ensure your furry companions can join the adventure, while private porches and guest kitchens add that extra touch of homey luxury.

Just minutes from New Smyrna Beach—named one of National Geographic’s Top 20 Surfing Towns and a perennial pick for Florida’s best beaches—the Night Swan serves as an ideal launchpad for sun-soaked days. Stroll to powdery sands for surfing, shelling, or dolphin spotting, then return to the inn for sunset cocktails overlooking the river. Tailored packages for romance, adventure, and relaxation elevate every stay, whether it’s a couples’ retreat with champagne toasts or a family getaway complete with beach cruiser rentals.

For those seeking more than a hotel room, the Night Swan hosts intimate weddings for up to 100 guests, with lush gardens and river vistas as your backdrop, plus recommendations for local florists and caterers. Gift certificates make it easy to share this slice of paradise for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because. In a town that embodies “Old Florida” allure—far from the crowds of Orlando yet close enough for day trips to theme parks, Kennedy Space Center, or St. Augustine—the Night Swan isn’t just lodging; it’s a heartfelt invitation to create lasting memories amid the rhythm of the sea. Here, every detail is crafted to nurture your spirit, leaving you refreshed and ready to embrace the Sunshine State’s coastal magic.
