🌴 Location & Neighborhood

The home is tucked into one of the Treasure Coast’s most walkable neighborhoods. Just steps away, you’ll find restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, salons, grocery stores, and local parks. The iconic banyan-lined Bridge Road will lead you straight to Hobe Sound Beach, where turquoise waters and white sand await. For nature lovers, there are countless preserves nearby for hiking, biking, kayaking, birdwatching, and even horseback riding. Centrally located between Jupiter and Stuart, this home keeps you close to everything the area has to offer.

🏠 Inside the Home

When you step inside, you’ll feel instantly at ease. To the right of the entryway, a hallway leads to the bedrooms. The master suite sits at the back left corner of the house and features a king bed and ensuite bathroom. Along the right side of the hall, you’ll find the queen bedroom and the twin bedroom, perfect for kids or friends. Just before reaching the bedrooms, the main bathroom is conveniently located, stocked with fresh towels and essentials.

At the center of the home is the bright, fully stocked kitchen, thoughtfully labeled so you can easily find what you need. Just off the kitchen is a dining area where you can enjoy home-cooked meals while looking out toward the backyard. To the left of the kitchen, the game room offers fun for everyone with a pool table and darts. At the back of the house, the living room invites you to kick back on comfortable seating and enjoy movie nights on the 75-inch Roku TV.

🌊 Backyard Paradise

The backyard is a true oasis. A sparkling pool with a gentle waterfall sets the tone for relaxation, with hammocks at your convenience. A covered patio with a dining table makes it easy to enjoy meals outside, whether it’s breakfast in the fresh air or cocktails at sunset.

🧺 Convenience & Comfort

The laundry room is located next to the game room, with a washer, dryer, and supplies available for guest use.

Other things to Note

While the pool is professionally cleaned weekly, bamboo leaves may occasionally drift into the water; a skimmer net is provided for your convenience. We also use regular pest control services, but as with any Old Florida home, you may occasionally see a bug.

We had such an amazing stay at this coastal Hobe Sound home. The location truly couldn’t be better close to shops, cafés, and just a short ride to the beach. Everything felt easy, fun, and relaxing from the moment we arrived.We absolutely loved all the extras the house offered. The bikes were perfect for exploring the neighborhood and nearby restaurants, and taking the paddle boards out on the intracoastal was such a memorable experience for our family. The heated pool in the backyard was our favorite spot we spent so much time relaxing. And the fire place near the pool was amazing. All of our family could be together.Inside, the house was very warm and welcoming feel. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the linens were soft and clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The thoughtful welcome basket was such a sweet surprise. The host kristen was very nice and communicated quickly with any questions we had, which made the entire stay smooth and stress free.We truly loved this house, appreciated every detail, 5 stars and couldn’t have picked a better place. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks for hosting us .

Host was very nice and welcoming! Several concerns were noted: very limited hot water for showers, guest bath fan not working, outlet behind toaster oven not working, the master bath needs a long towel rack(s), and better silverware and a pair of scissors were needed.
