Thank You for staying with us for another vacation family trip.
Everything as advertised.Peggy was attentive in checking to make sure all was well,but in no way obtrusive.My wife already told me next we are up this way this is where we are staying.
The home was clean, larger than expected. Neighborhood was nice, quite and convenient. We were close to the golf course at Hobe Sound and close enough to the public beach. Plenty of restaurants. Especially Two Brothers Pizza.

David Thank you for staying with us. Next time you're in town come see us again. PS Two brothers Pizza is my favorite!
Excellent stay, house was clean and set up with a very cute beach theme.
We enjoyed our stay and have no complaints at all. House was clean, beds comfortable, shower head had great water pressure, sofa bed was even comfortable, loved the beach theme decor of the house super cute, and we loved the back patio. Great communication with the owner, we would stay again.
House was clean and well kept. Spacious, comfortable furniture and layout was great as was the outdoor space in backyard. Beds were comfortable, clean linens and towels - even had beach towels and bikes for our use.
Me and a friend drove straight from Maine to the house. Peggy was kind enough to let us in a couple of hours early since we had been on the road for 23 hours. The house was perfect for resting up on our way to Key West. we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Peggy

About the host
Hosted by Peggy Radanovich
I was born and raised in Florida, my husband is from New Jersey. He was tired of the frigid winters and shoveling snow so he moved to Florida. We enjoy serving our community and our local church, we love camping, and would love to travel to Montenegro to meet his family.
Why they chose this property
We love Hobe Sound because it is a small town, quiet and peaceful, but close enough to the bigger towns and cities so that you don't miss out. It is bordered by many state parks and nature preserves.
What makes this property unique
This home has so many unique qualities inside, but our favorite spot is the backyard patio, it is so peaceful, the birds and butterflies come out to meet you every morning. Also the stars and the moon at night are breathtaking.
