We came to the Stuart/Jensen Beach area for a wedding and fell in love with this little retreat! The back yard and outdoor patios were a MAJOR plus! In addition, there was a walking path at the end of the street, which was a great place to walk our dog. The house and its amenities were perfect for what we needed. The owner was very responsive..... We would stay there again! :)
The house is exactly as advertised, clean, in a quiet neighborhood. It's a good area to take a walk for a stretch, but you won't walk to eat, shop, see the shore, etc. That's OK! There are many restaurants and shops within 10-15 minutes drive time, and many public beaches both north and south of this area. The backyard is a delight. The owners are very easy to contact.
When we pulled into the place, we were impressed with how laid-back and beautiful the property is. The interior of the home is great. Itâs got the tropical, laid-back relaxed vibe. The backyard is really cool. The home is loaded with everything youâre going to need and then some. Really comfortable setting, beds are great and the place was super clean. the location is perfect, your minutes from the beach minutes from great fishing in downtown Stuart.
The host Chris, is by far the best host Iâve ever dealt with. We rental places all over the state and east coast of the US several times a month.
Chris was beyond helpful and easy to get along with. Restored my faith in hosts.
My wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay at the home in Rio. Just as advertised. 5 min. drive to Stuart, 10-15 min. to Jensen Beach. Thatâs the beach. Lots of parking at no charge. Quaint downtown area.
The check in was a breeze and the home was as clean as any VRBO property we have stayed at.
Had a minor issue and Chris immediately rectified it. You can feel confident that you are in good hands.
We wanted a stress free weekend just north of us and couldnât have asked for a better time.
I would definitely recommend a visit if youâre looking for a nice relaxing trip away from the crowds.
Our sincere thanks to our hosts for such a great experience!

Had a great stay here. This property is ideally located to access Jensen beach and all its amenities. We needed to extend our stay and the property manager/ owners were very responsive. The house was very clean and located in a friendly neighborhood. I would highly recommend this VRBO.
We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Convenient to restaurants and shopping. Nice beaches nearby.
Great for dogs, nice fenced backyard! We came to get away from hurricane Ian in our town. Very comfortable. We will try to stay again when we are back in Jensen beach visiting friends!
Perfect home away from home in excellent location!
This was our home away from home for just over a month while we were waiting to close on a new home purchase. This was the PERFECT place for us and our two small dogs! The home is located in the Rio community, which has a Jensen Beach address. It is centrally located between Port St Lucie and Stuart, and only a short drive north to Fort Pierce. Palm Beach International airport is only 45 minutes away. The home was cute and cozy, and had everything we needed for our stay. The back yard is lovely and peaceful with a huge, beautiful bamboo canopy. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable, and SO conveniently located, no matter what you want to do during your stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. We enjoyed our stay so much. The host, Chris, is also awesome and easily reachable if you need anything.
The cottage is as cute as can be. The neighborhood is extraordinarily quiet. Most every morning was spent having coffee and breakfast on the secluded patio with the breeze gently blowing through the trees. Just beautiful! The kitchen was well equipped, the living room was comfortable and the bedrooms nicely furnished. We were pleasantly surprised upon returning home from a late night dinner on our first day to find the house nicely lit in an otherwise somewhat dark neighborhood. What a nice welcome home. The laundry room was well-equipped with supplies. On a rainy morning, the covered side patio was just the place to start the day. Should we find ourselves heading to the Jensen Beach area again, weâll know exactly where we want to beâŠwe loved our stay!!
Itâs a cute place that offered exactly what we needed. My only suggestion would be to change out two couch. Itâs a bit uncomfortable but thatâs just the style, otherwise the beds were comfortable so overall nice little place
What a lovely time we had at this cottage! Beds and bedding were top notch and super comfy. Kitchen was well appointed; helpful tips and instructions were organized in a binder. As one reviewer mentioned, there are gates separating the yards; this was actually helpful to us. The owner, who was very friendly and welcoming, gave us the option of opening or closing the gates. We liked being able to let our dog visit with ownerâs dogs but also being able to keep them separate sometimes, for convenience. Ownerâs dogs were adorable and friendly. The WiFi was super fast and we were able to have three laptops all live streaming for school at the same time!
We enjoyed dinner outside at the Boathouse in downtown Stuart (highly recommend!) and pizza from Downtown Bennyâs. Jensen State Beach is a short drive away and quickly became our favorite spot. We loved staying here!!
This property is located in a quiet, well established neighborhood which is only a short distance from the historic district of Stuart, Jenson Beach and the beautiful beaches of Hutchinson Island. The hostess was very warm and welcoming. It is truly a pet friendly environment.
This place was clean, well-stocked and cute, but very small and cramped. The backyard was misrepresented - leading us to believe we'd rented a place with a large open combination of patio and grassy lawn with lounge chairs, quaint table and chairs, and lots of shade trees offering privacy (as depicted in the photos). In reality, the owner's wife was living in a newly built studio that was essentially IN the yard I mentioned, and access to the yard and furniture I mentioned had been fenced off for her private use. We were left with a fully exposed patio and a postage stamp patch of grass for our dog. In addition, the instructions for the thermostat and the TV were inaccurate and the dishwasher overflowed. We left several days early.
This is a cozy little garden getaway house with quiet nooks to sit and relax. Convenient to Old Stuart shopping & dining, Hutchinson Island beach's, and plenty of golfing. The neighborhood is still and quiet too. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Very nice house and quiet part of the neighborhood... This house has been well furnished and very comfortable to stay in... Thank You !!!! R. Jon Silverman
