Would you like to get to know the local flavor of downtown Stuart? Would you like to explore by biking the area? Minutes from the beaches, shopping and restaurants? We are looking for people who don't want the typical hotel experience.
We live in a great location and love it here! The main house, which we live in, overlooks the St Lucie River, The cottage sits in front of the main house which gives you complete privacy and lets you come and go as you please. We have lived here since 1984 and done extensive renovation to a 1930's home and cottage. The property has been like an art piece for us. When we bought the property, the yard was minimally landscaped and the house needed major work. Over the years, we have converted our property into a wonderful, nature lover's haven. Our yard looks like something you'd find in Key West. We are organic gardeners and grow pineapples, papaya, key times, veggies and lettuces in our garden boxes along with many herbs. We share whatever is in season. If you are looking for a great experience, you'll find it here! We live on the St Lucie River and allow our guests to enjoy our dock for sunsets or a morning coffee. A beach in our yard provides a quiet get away for reading.
