This house doesn’t seem like much from the outside but the inside is beautiful. Very modern, super comfortable beds, huge washer and dryer, very clean. We had some issues with figuring out the AC but overall this is an excellent place to stay. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby.

A tropical escape

Owners had thoughtfully prepared for guests and tastefully decorated. It was clean and charming with every effort made to make guests welcome and safe. I was prepared to have my grandchildren stay but enjoyed the property as a haven for one and place to relax. I even enjoyed the property plantings and outside areas.

Shady Acres Respite

We stayed at Shady Acres for the month of Feb. It was absolutely the perfect fit for our month long getaway! Three bedrooms and two full baths gave us plenty of room to spread out and feel like we were at a true home away from home. We had guests over for dinner and to watch the Superbowl. It was less than 5 mins to the Pt Salerno waterfront area with several restaurants to enjoy! We highly recommend this property and we will be back!

An enjoyable stay!

I highly recommend booking a stay at Shady Acres when visiting the Stuart area! The home is very nicely renovated and the hosts do a great job of making their guests feel welcome by leaving some small complimentary snacks and water. Also available to the guests are some beach equipment which include a cooler and beach chairs! We did not have any issues during our visit, but Scott and Michelle communicated great and let us know that they were always available if we were to have any concerns. The location is very convenient, as there are several restaurants nearby and two grocery stores within a mile.

The Perfect Stay!

Shady Acres was the perfect place to stay for our family of five!Location: We were visiting friends in Palm City, just 12 minutes away. We went fishing, visited several beaches, snorkeled at Peanut Island - all easy afternoon trips. Property: The house itself was fantastic. So clean, nothing broken, kitchen had everything we needed, beds were comfortable, outside area was relaxing. Owners: We requested more decaf coffee pods, and the owner went above and beyond getting then to us asap. They communicated quickly and graciously. We are recommending many friends to this rental and couples without kids to their second rental on the property. We will be returning!
