About Susan Rittger / Herb Rittger

Herb and Susie have lovingly completed the restoration of this beautiful and unique circa 1883 property, consisting of four buildings. They are the main house, cottage, gardener workshop and the *Carriage House (*vacation home) located on the Intracoastal Waterway. Now semi-retired, Herb and Susie love to add gardens, stone walls, and statuary. Veggies and Herbs too.

A Fantastic Private Retreat Under The Palm Trees!!

5/5

Stayed Apr 2018

David G.Danvers, Ma.

This is my third stay at this lovely private cottage in New Smyrna Beach Fla. All Three visits have been a exceptional and wonderful experience. As I stated in my previous review, I am the owner of a Transportation service in Boston Ma.. I have been coming to New Smyrna Beach for many years, my son and his family resides in the area. I have been blessed with a beautiful grandchild!! (Sarah), prompting me to travel South more often these days. I travel alone, and having been a slave to the hotels and so called resorts in the area for years. I was in search of better accommodations with amenities for extended stays. Giving me the ability to relax in true privacy, and visit, spending quality time with my son, lovely daughter in law & the cutest grandchild in the world. Then with a little luck: I was blessed to find such a wonderful and well appointed cottage for my short weekly stay or a longer visit in the days and holidays ahead. All of the photos are a true and accurate representation of the cottage and property. The presentation and maintenance of the property and cottage is immaculate. Herb and Susie are wonderful and attentive hosts, giving you the feeling of visiting family. The private garden is wonderful to view in the AM. with a good cup of coffee and a little soft music floating through the palm trees with the Monarch butterflies! The pool area is always clean and inviting. There is a wonderful dock over looking the inter-coastal water way to enjoy a evening aperitif, or the sunset ocean breeze under the palm trees. The property shows Herb & Susie's love and dedication to excellence. In considering the quality and well appointed accommodation, I feel the price point is fair and reasonable. Lastly the location, is only a couple of mile from the beach or local cafes!! (beach cruiser bikes are on location for the short ride) It is local to the grocery stores and a number of inviting restaurants. This is a top shelf upgrade to any single or couple that are looking for superior clean, safe and quality accommodations experience in New Smyrna Beach or the Daytona Beach Shores area. This listing is pure gold and 5 Stars!! "Bon Vivant" Regards, David

Owner's Response:

David...thank you so much for your sincere review. We have come to think of you as family and always look forward to your visits. It really is true that folks arrive as guests and leave as friends. We truly enjoy making sure our guests have a perfect vacation and a few lovely & unexpected surprises during their stay.

You are right...Sarah is the "cutest grandchild in the world". Cheers, Susie

This lovely carriage house sits on a historic estate from around 1883. The entire property is beautifully restored, maintained, and landscaped by the owners and hosts, Susie and Herb. They were very friendly, attentive, and concerned about every detail of our stay without ever being intrusive. Their tireless and caring work make this property shine as a delightful vacation retreat. Flowers, plants, fountains, statues, swimming pool, and a fairy garden are all on full display. The carriage house is filled with stained glass, antiques, and many other interesting, decorative pieces that make it a unique place to stay. We loved the charm, comfort, beauty, and relaxation of this special slice of paradise and are planning a return trip soon!

Everything you could hope for.

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

Owner's Response:

Dear Judy and Tom,

You are so right....a week was not enough and we so enjoyed you being here. As with so many of our wonderful, gracious and very interesting guests...we are always so happy and excited to welcome them back. Thank you for your kind and sincere review.

We look forward to seeing you again. Cheers, Susie & Herb
