Paradise

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 9 Oaks recently. Our VRBO hosts, Herb and Susie, did a great job making us feel at home including a wonderful gift basket including toys for our puppies as well as a bottle of fine wine. The carriage house is well appointed, the gardens are spectacular, and they offer unlimited access to kayaks, bikes and their pool. Wonderful experience!

Tropical Paradise

This was a wonderful experience! We typically stay on the beach but this year spent a second week at this charming place in town. Susie and Herb were so welcoming and just the right mix of being attentive without being intrusive. Very close walk to downtown and the marina, and the property was so lovely. And the private pool! This is a fantastic spot for two people and I would love to do this again.

Enchanted Cottage

As beautiful and peaceful as the cottage is, the imprint on our memories are the hosts, Herb and Susie. They will have a place in our hearts forever. The most special people we have ever known. Now, to the cottage; enchanting. peaceful, spiritual, a work of art and a garden of love. Did I mention the house is convenient to EVERYTHING? Our stay was amazing!

Garden of Eden meets New Smyrna Beach

We loved our short time here and only disappointment was that we had to leave. Our hosts Herb & Susan were simply wonderful. I would wake up most mornings and enjoy coffee on the deck overlooking the simply magnificently tranquil setting then maybe a little fishing after. The house is Artsy, Whimsical and a little nostalgic. Just a great deal of fun and was a real vacation from the ordinary. The town is well within walking distance and night or day we always felt very comfortable wherever we went.

A Hystorical Master-Peace

Susie & Herb, our warm, caring, attentive (but not overly) hosts of the Carriage House were more than helpful. The space itself was spotless, cozy & so well equipped , there was little else we needed. Very peaceful indeed.....plus the central location of the Carriage House lent itself to daily outings, walking or driving, very good near-by restaurants, shops, museums, the beach, & so much more. Our 2 poodles were overjoyed with Susie & Herb's hospitality as well. What a beautiful experience!!!!! Thank you.

Herb and Susie may just be the lovliest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment we clicked "book" , Susie was the most hospitable host. She called the next day to let us know the check in process as well as all of the happenings in the area that week. The location is perfect and lands you right in the middle of canal street and flagler ave. The home is walking distance to everywhere. The carriage house is one of a kind, it is very clean, and the grounds are just beautiful! We very much enjoyed the private dock and fishing, but were also able to ride the bikes around town. Would 100% recommend staying here and we are hoping to visit again in the near future!

Absolutely beautiful!

My husband and I stayed in this adorable home with an absolutely beautiful garden of true heaven. We truly love Susie and Herb! We will be returning for another relaxing visit. Susie and Herb are such wonderful host.They had gifts for us and our pups upon our arrival and made us a lovely jambalaya lunch one day. I loved the pool too, even though I couldn't swim in it as much as I would've liked to. The property is so heavenly. They were very informative about places to see and visit which is always a great thing when it's your first time visiting the area. I highly recommend them and their beautiful private home. Can't wait for our next visit!

From the moment we arrived until the moment we pulled out of the driveway, my husband and I were in heaven! Susie and Herb were the most amazing host and hostess to a week we have only ever dreamed about! They put the sweetest and most special care into our stay from day one! We had everything we needed and more including making new friends! It is not often you meet such kind wonderful people, and dream of going back the moment you leave! We will see you again! Thank you for everything, thank you just isn't enough! Your home and property is so beautiful and magical!

A week was not enough!

My husband and I spent a week in the Carriage House behind the historic home of the owners. Our stay was everything we had hoped for and more. We felt as though we were pampered guests, rather than paying customers.. The owners are wonderful hosts and the area they have created has a beautiful, energizing atmosphere. We were constantly discovering new and interesting artworks, antique furnishings and luxurious plantings; all put together with impeccable taste. In addition to the charming and comfortable accommodations, we found the location to be very convenient to the Historic Area of the town of New Smyrna Beach, as well as the actual beach area. We definitely plan to return, but next time it will be for a longer stay!! Tom & Judy

Everything You Could Possibly Want

Words cannot describe our week as guests at this beautiful carriage house. Herb and Susie welcomed us as family (including our labradoodle). Beautiful landscaping, beautiful pool, dock for fishing, kayaking, bikes which we used to peddle along the Indian River. The carriage house had so much character, and everything we could possibly need. The 2nd story deck was ideal for lunch and coffee in the morning and felt as if we lived in the trees. We had a full kitchen fully equipped. We received a gift basket and champagne, snacks, and even a toy for Chester. The generosity of Herb and Susie went beyond anything we could ever imagine. My husband has said it is the best place he has ever stayed and I am in full agreement. I cannot wait to make my way back to their wonderful paradise.

Indescribably beautiful!

Susie & Herb are top-notch hosts! They put their heart and soul into making sure guests feel pampered and cared for, and the Carriage House is a perfect getaway. The attention to detail is just astounding. If you have any questions or concerns at all, just reach out, they are easy to communicate with and will help you think through anything that comes up. We have two darling fur babies (black labs) and they were welcomed with open arms and included in the welcome basket! The house is in a great neighborhood (historic district) and we were within walking distance to local shops, restaurants, art galleries, a brewery, a museum, and a park (with a Farmers Market and live music). I was also able to get up super early the second night to see the SpaceX night launch! The rocket comes right past the private dock and it was an amazing treat to see it. I still can't get over the beautiful gardens. Important things to know: you are the only guests; the Carriage House (CH) is it's own separate building with 3 exits; you have private use of a very nice washer and dryer; private use of a full kitchen, including a grill on the back deck; private use (registered guests only) of a beautiful deep pool that is gated off; use of the dock for fishing and kayaking (provided) and launch views; use of two adult bicycles; CH is a 2-story building, so be aware if baby gates are needed; 3 televisions (living/dining room, bedroom, and what I called the sitting room - with the fold out couch bed) with access to cable, netflix, prime, and youtube; there are tons of delicious restaurants within a 10 minute drive, and Susie & Herb have great recommendations; this property is on the Intracoastal Waterway (gorgeous) and the beach is a 5-10 minute drive. We are already dreaming of our next trip!

Relax and recharge

The property was a dream. Hosts were very thoughtful in supplying everything you could possibly need. There was an unexpected delight in a personalized gift basket waiting on me. Although the property is within a neighborhood of historic homes it was as if you were in a secluded nest surrounded by art and nature. Setting is very private but easy walking distance to Canal Street and all is interesting shops and eateries. Short drive over the causeway bridge to Flagler Avenue and the beach. Planning my next stay.

Magical!

Fell in love with this house, grounds, and the dock immediately. Sitting on the upstairs deck was like being in a treehouse, with many birds, anoles, and nighttime frogs, relaxing and restful. It was a short drive to the beach, and a short stroll to Canal Street and it’s shops and restaurants. Herb was helpful with any questions, and he and Susie really went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time. Our one month stay was not enough, and we look forward to coming back next year.
