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!

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!

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.

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.

From the second we arrived to the second we left Susie and Herb made us so welcome. Even the impact of hurricane Ian didn't dampen their enthusiasm or friendliness. They went above and beyond to ensure that we were safe and comfortable. We would not hesitate to return.

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.

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.

Magical!
The moment we stepped onto this magnificent property we were greeted by the beauty and fairytale like charm of the garden. Susie and Herb, our gracious and wonderful hosts, gave us a quick tour of the Carriage house and grounds. The cottage was filled with antiques, original art, and fresh flowers in every room. The cute as a button I love Lucy kitchen was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. We were greeted with a welcome basket full of snacks, champagne, coffee, and even a danish for the morning. On my husband's birthday they decorated and bought him a cake complete with hats and a candle! All of the amenities we needed were there for our relaxing vacation.. Bikes, kayaks, a private pool, even fishing poles, all we needed was bait. The dock across the street was great for fishing, relaxing, or just watching the tide come in. We saw a couple of sea turtles and caught a few fish. The garden and the private pool are a little piece of paradise. The deck on the back off of the kitchen is magical, it sits among the old live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. The whole place is just gorgeous, we didnt want to leave. Our hosts Susie and Herb's generosity and hospitality can never be matched. They even got up early and brought us fresh blueberry muffins the morning we left! We can't wait to go back!

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!
