About this property

Nettles Island Beach Retreat . Golf Cart . Kayak . Private Beach Access

The moment you drive through the gates of Nettles Island, you feel it — you're on vacation.

Step inside Lot 704 and the feeling stays. Natural light pours through the windows —wooden blind shades throughout let you control the light perfectly. The nautical décor is calm and intentional. The living and dining areas flow together so everyone stays connected — kids, partners, friends, grandparents. Nobody gets left out.

Your days here look something like this.

Morning coffee before anyone else wakes up. Then the golf cart — included with your stay — to cruise Nettles Boulevard, drop the kids at mini golf or pickleball, or head straight to the private beach. The community pool and hot tub are steps away. When the mood strikes, take the kayak out on the water — life vests are provided. Grill something good in the evening. Play board games when the sun goes down.

Nettles Island is a private gated community on the Atlantic coast of Jensen Beach, Florida. Peaceful, safe, and full of things to do without ever leaving. Restaurants, shops, and everything Jensen Beach offers are just minutes away by golf cart.

What's included:
— Golf cart (operators must be 18+ with valid photo ID)
— Kayak with life vests
— BBQ grill and outdoor dining area
— Community pool and hot tub access
— Private beach access
— Pickleball courts, mini golf, tennis courts, marina, fishing areas
— Extremely fast Wi-Fi
— Fully equipped kitchen
— Washer and dryer in unit
— Smart lock for easy self check-in

This home is for families looking for a real Florida vacation where everyone has something to do. For couples ready to disconnect from everything. For groups of friends who want the beach, the fun, and the comfort of a real home — not a hotel room.

We're responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making your stay exceptional.

Come as guests. Leave as regulars.

The house was great. The amenities were excellent although the island pool was closed for maintenance while we were there. Thankfully there is a 2nd pool on the ocean side that was open. We used the mini golf, shuffleboard, sand pit area for small children and hot tubs. My suggestion to the owner/manager is to improve communications. I’ve stayed at many rental homes for vacation. Most will provide a booklet with house rules, amenities information, check out procedures, WiFi info etc. Info about where to find things in the house. It could make it easier. Instead I had to reach out for information. I also couldn’t get a response to a question on the day I was checking in. I understand it was Easter Sunday so I was not expecting an immediate response but I received no response over the course of the entire day. Other than that, it was perfect and we enjoyed our stay!

Excellent Property

All I can mentioned is totally positive on this property, good location, owner was always available. Interior very nice, decoration, spacious, we were 3 adults and our two kids. We usually go to this place multiple times during the summer, I only have one recommendation, Owner's Golf Cart needs an upgrade on batteries. I rated it 99.9%.

Fabulous vacation

The property manager was responsive, the unit was clean and in a great location. Bed was comfortable and 2 bathrooms was a plus! Loved the location- Hutchinson Islamd has always been a favorite - if you like beautiful beaches, no crowds and are able to drive to commercial areas like Stuart and Downtown Jensen this place is for you.

Good Fit For Our Family of Five

Our family loves Nettles Island and the surrounding area. The house fit our needs well for our most recent trip there. We had a couple small hiccups when we first got there but the owner was very responsive and helpful so it wasn’t really an issue. I would definitely consider staying there again on our next vacation to Nettles.

Week at Nettles Island

The property was lovely, lots of amenities you wouldn't expect including toiletries and lotions. The golf cart to get around was a nice addition. It was very comfortable, well decorated. The property as a community had everything from pool to restaurants to little grocery store. The property host was great, answered any and all questions very quickly. I would definitely stay there again!!!!

Absolutely perfect!

It was our second time staying on Nettles island and then island was as great as last time. Our first time at this property and it was absolutely perfect!! It’s beautifully furnished, perfectly laid out. It was just my husband and myself but could comfortable accommodate additionally guests. For just the 2 of us we were in heaven. Everything was exceptionally clean, new kitchen appliances, nice big tv in master room. The golf cart was a fun extra. The size of the master, the master bath and living room/kitchen area were all superb. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Mejia

Host profile image
I'm Victoria — originally from Colombia, now calling Florida home. I manage this property with one goal: making sure every guest feels genuinely cared for from the moment they book to the moment they leave.

I'm detail-oriented, responsive, and I take hospitality seriously. I designed and decorated this home myself, and I want you to feel that intention in every corner of it. If something comes up during your stay, I'm here — not an automated system, not a property management company. Me.

Why they chose this property

Nettles Island is one of those rare places that feels like it exists outside of normal time. It's a private gated community right on the Atlantic coast of Jensen Beach — peaceful enough to truly disconnect, but with everything you need steps away: pool, hot tub, private beach, tennis, pickleball, marina, and fishing areas.

What makes it even more special — there's a charming little convenience store right inside the community where they make delicious fresh sandwiches and home-cooked food daily. And for dinner, there's an on-site seafood restaurant serving fresh catch right there on the island. You don't even have to leave.

Jensen Beach itself is one of Florida's hidden gems. Beautiful beaches, great local restaurants, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere without the crowds of Miami or Fort Lauderdale. It's the kind of place guests come back to year after year.

What makes this property unique

Most vacation rentals give you a place to sleep. This one gives you a full experience.

The golf cart is included — not as an afterthought, but as your main way to explore the community. The home sits right on Nettles Boulevard with easy access to every amenity. The design is intentional — nautical, calm, and warm — because the space should feel like a retreat, not just a rental.

And then there's the community itself. Nettles Island is not a neighborhood you find by accident. Guests who discover it almost always come back.
