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! ##### Kathryn D.

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. ##### Pamela L.

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.

Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy B. 5 Mar 2018 #### 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 ##### Judy B. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom L. 1 Jan 2018 #### A wonderful and magical Christmas Carriage Home with superb hospitality My wife, Joan, and I (along with our Yorkie, Bailey!) spent two weeks from Dec 16 to Jan 1 at Susie and Herb’s Riverside Carriage Home. What a wonderful time we had. From the moment we arrived, Susie and Herb’s hospitality and attention to detail was second to none. The home was decorated for Christmas including stockings for us! The Main House was also completely decorated with a warm and inviting sense of the Holiday season. Over our 2 week stay, Susie and Herb were the utmost hosts providing us everything we needed including recommendations for dining, sightseeing and local activities. We felt totally “at home”. We started as guests, but now we are friends — the best Christmas gift we could have received. We would definitely come back and we highly recommend this property with Susie and Herb as the hosts!

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. ##### Jennifer J. K.

We have traveled to many places around the world and stayed at many VRBOs and by far this was the best. Susie sent us information about what was happening in town before we got there so we could prepare for our vacation. When we arrived, they gave us a tour of the property showing us around and explaining where everything was located. The Carriage House is decorated so amazing! You could spend quite a bit of time exploring the collections of paintings and books throughout. Other reviewers have said that “you will want for nothing” while staying here and I totally agree. The property is so beautiful, and you can tell they have put a lot of hard work and love into it. The sound of the many fountains throughout are so peaceful. The pool was amazing, I would have been in the pool the entire trip, but it was a little chilly, so I settled for reading by the pool daily. The dock on the river was also a place we liked to visit daily. This was exactly the vacation that we were looking for; a place to relax and gain some peace back in our lives. Thanks so much for all your hospitality. Troy and Jeff & Kona ##### Troy R.

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! ##### Marilynn B.

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. ##### Connie T.

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. ##### Alison S.

Property is very beautiful. The pool is amazing and certainly relaxing. We caught lots of fish from the dock and even seen a sea turtle. We had a really nice trip! Thank you Herb and Susie for your hospitality!! ##### Donna G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ---
