Charles Y.Great stay in Stuart Florida
We’ve stayed at Allison and HB’s cottage for 4 years now! Lovely home, perfect spot! Close to downtown Stuart, beaches and lots of activities for our granddaughters. Water park, children’s museum, and oceanographic institute where they can pet and feed manna rays, also plenty of great restaurants and state parks nearby. Great Kiwanis park right in downtown Stuart. We enjoy being there!

"Thank you for the review, Charles. I am pleased to know how you and Sharon enjoy your March visits with family and precious granddaughters every year."
Bradley P.Excellent short term rental
I travel from North Florida to Stuart regularly for work and was searching for more of a home base in Stuart. I’m so happy I came across Allison’s cottage. It was the perfect place, clean, comfortable, centrally located, good neighborhood, and pet friendly for when my dog Sunny would make it down. I had only planned to rent for 3 months but instead extended it to 6 because it was going very well. Allison was a pleasure to rent from, I would highly recommend staying for vacation or any other short term rental.

Adam and N.Amazing place to stay
My fiancé and I stayed in this beautiful clean home for a couple of months. It has everything you need to have a great stay. Allison was wonderful to work with and was easy to communicate with! Would recommended this home to anyone looking to stay in Stuart or that would like to bring their furry friends with them.

Donna L.Wonderful Home
Not only was this home cozy and inviting, but it is also in the best location! The home is decorated as one would imagine Florida should be...colorful and happy. It is close to the beaches, shopping, and downtown activities while being tucked into a nice walkable neighborhood. The gated area on the porch is where my dog and I sat when not out and about. I did have to alter my date of arrival, and Allison was helpful and accommodating. There are 2 books on the counter- one full of places to eat, and the other of things to do when you arrive. A definite YES for another stay here.

Janice D.It was absolutely perfect, totally equipped with everything and great indoor and outdoor spaces.
Allison was a wonderful host. The location is amazing in a great neighborhood but very close to restaurants and the beach. My two dogs had just as great a time as I did. Already booked our next trip.Thanks, Allison!

Christine L.Cottage close to everything
We stayed in Stuart for late March thru April. The cottage had everything we needed along with a nice patio for relaxing and a fenced yard for our puppy. We did a lot of grilling on the Weber gas grill. The layout of the house is great and the beds and bathroom comfortable. We walked the neighborhood and took advantage of a guest membership at the YMCA. We were close to downtown Stuart and the beach. The owner is helpful and responsive. A hidden gem.
