About the owner: We moved to south Florida in 1987 and built our first vacation rental property in 1999 for our own family to use in the summer beach season and enjoyed our family time together for many years. Our renters were frequently thanking us for providing them a nice vacation home. Once my husband began working full time in the real estate business, we decided to purchase other vacation rental properties, update the homes and create a fun part- time family business.
Why this property? Our first rental property was not pet friendly and yet, we were commonly asked if pets were allowed. We have dogs and understand how important it is for some people to travel with their pets. Therefore, we purchased this cottage and the cottage next door to fill the demand for clean, well maintained, well located and PET FRIENDLY rental properties.
We enjoy living here in Martin County because of the climate, beaches and small town quality of life. However, it is possible to experience what the large metro areas have to offer within a 2 hour drive to Miami and Orlando and all points in between. Life is good here in South Florida!

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.

Perfect for us to spend time with our new grandson!Location is also great for all the beaches that we took our dog too every morning and close to town for the Sunday morning farmers market and boardwalk.The house was great and the first time it felt like home away from home! Enjoyed by not only us but our local family too.Thank you Allison
