Awesome!

The property was excellent! Sheila and Rob were great hosts. The property was very clean, tidy, well decorated and well thought out. Sheila's art was on display and it is very good! We had everything that we needed for our 10 day stay. An easy walk to downtown Stuart restaurants and shops. And the property was a great place to hang out. Very comfortable inside and very nice and private spaces in the back and side gardens. When we are back in Stuart, we will try to re-book here.

Wonderful artist hideaway! Covid19 safety considerations.

Love, love, love staying here. There were Covid19 protocols in place, which I loved. Sanitizers, wipes, etc. There is beautiful, gorgeous art throughout the home. The home itself has a terrific origin story. Totally updated, comfortable furniture and bedding. All appliances and kitchen tool were available. We loved sitting out back, watching the birds. Neighbors are great. Location is terrific. Easy to get to supermarkets, local restaurants and area events. I highly recommend this property and its owners. We had a terrific experience and I know future visitors will enjoy it as much as we did!

Fabulous!!

We had a wonderful month at Sheila’s cottage!! I loved her artwork everywhere! Gorgeous colors and subjects!! The bed is very comfortable, although not a traditional queen size. Having new washer/dryer combo was great!!! Loved the renovated kitchen, and the sweet attached patio area overlooking the gorgeous back yard!! I saw raccoon, baby fox, rabbits, a cat, and many birds, big and small!! And the paved seating area with umbrella was especially nice for pre dinner cocktails!! And daytime sitting and reading in the shade!! The shower was wonderful, although it did seem that a lot of water was wasted waiting for the hot water to kick in? Maybe that’s a Florida thing!😉 Towels, beach chairs, sheets, blankets, dishes, cleaning supplies—all in abundance!!! The only thing I’d suggest would be to have one set of new cookware—remove all of the other pieces!! Living room cozy, with very comfortable sofa and chairs. TV fine!! AC fabulous!!!! And quiet!!! We loved our stay!!!! And a bonus for us was that Sheila and Rob were in their back cottage for much of our stay—loved having them there!!

Sweet Spot!

Charming cottage, nicely decorated, private, quiet and good location...! Perfect setting for enjoying the feel of authentic Florida. Furnished with many lovely, thoughtful amenities, particularly the artists many distinctive paintings. Note too, the rooms are more spacious than the photos show. A truly pleasurable stay! A sincere thank you to our hosts for sharing. The Duggans

Like staying at a quaint art museum

The "cottage" is updated, clean, spacious and comfortable. It's fun to stay in a house like this that has character but doesn't sacrifice the amenities you want in a rental. It sits on an over-sized lot that is well buffered from neighbors providing privacy in both the front and back yards. The neighborhood seemed safe and quiet. We easily walked and jogged to the downtown area and the riverwalk. We liked the new washer/dryer and having it conveniently located in the large bathroom. The bathroom also has a large shower. Shelia fills the rooms with her paintings, which was a special treat. We also happened to be there during Martin County's Open Studio tour, with one of the sites across the street. We felt like we stumbled into the impressive art scene that Stuart offers. Shelia and Bob often stay in another cottage that is on the property and are friendly and helpful. My only suggestion to them was to add a headboard to the bed so you didn't need to lean on the window if you wanted to read in bed. We would definitely stay here again and/or recommend to friends.

The cottage was well appointed, very clean, quiet neighborhood and very private.

We very much enjoyed our week at the cottage. We especially enjoyed the artwork. The owner was very attentive and delightful to work with. We plan to rent the cottage again.

Traditional Florida Style Cottage

This little cottage harkens back to Florida's early era. Mangroves trees greet you and a coquina driveway leads you right up to a wonderfully maintained example of Florida's early 20th century homes. Extremely clean, all of the modern appliances and counter tops match the early era paneling, wood floors and old fashioned skeleton key door knobs. The owner is an artist and a great many of her works are on display throughout this wonderfully decorated home. The foliage in the back yard provides lots of privacy. Air conditioning, cable TV, full set of towels and dishes, next to downtown Stuart, this place is a no brainer if you're looking for a cozy, relaxing and very private place to stay. One word of caution; beware of the chair with wheels in the dining area, it's can and will eject you without fair warning.
