Shack In The Back: King & Queen Beds, YES to pets! Very UNIQUE decor.

Eclectically decorated-Bringing nature in doors. Distressed Butcher block countertop w/a wash pale sink, Exposed pipes in the kitchen & shower w/ Edison lights for the industrial, yet nostalgic look. An antique-claw tub outdoor shower. FRESH & CRISP sheets on a brand-new King & Queen size Beautyrest mattresses. Premium pillows round off a restful nights rest/sleep. A great deal of care went into the build & décor, as we are continuously having family & friends visit & wanted a place for them, that was just as comfortable as my own home. No sofa indoors, only outdoor living area, however there is a 3 sided wrap around porch with gliders that can be moved/rearranged/relocated with ease. Situated on just over 2 acres, nestled next to the river. RV & boat trailer parking on site, Large fishing dock. Private driveway, Secure grounds, Pet friendly, large dogs ok, ^^^PET FEE IS FOR 1 ANIMAL, extra pets are subject to additional fees due upon arrival****Or added to your bill. Honesty is best policy! This fishing community is extremely laid back & quiet. The streets roll up early & there's VERY limited nightlife! Our crime rate is ultra low, our Sheriff William Snyder - doesn't mess around! We are approx. 10 miles from both I-95 & Florida's Turnpike, making it a convenient stop for travelers. An array of birds gather around the many feeders, providing soothing melodies. Manatee are year round in Florida and can be observed with ease from the rockers on the covered porch. Occasionally seeing a small alligator (they are native here folks) or the otter can been witnessed playing on the dock/water. on the dock, under the heavenly skies & is ideal for late night star gazing with a glass of fine wine & your best friend. 2 lounge chairs also for sunbathers. Newly planted, Thick, Dark Green Bamboo, Palm & Cypress trees are prominent, providing that extra layer of desired privacy. Our "Florida Shack in the Back" was a small building that came with the home we purchased in 2013, that we commonly referred to as The Shack. We watched the sun rise & set for 2 years before we finally decided on the desired layout & possible amenities it would include. The final product was more than we imagined. We are pleased to share our home with you & your family during your travels through our beautiful state.

Perfect for children

We were coming to the area to help out with some relatives kids. We asked the owners if this would be okay and they quickly replied that it was. The boy wants us to stay here if we ever visit again. Dan and Shannon are some of the friendliest helpful hosts that we’ve met. Shannon’s mother lives on the property and is also lovely. She invited the boy to swing. As noted in the description, the kitchen and shower are outside so exposed to nature and such. Dan even took the time to write some notes about restaurants and local activities as he was heading out of town.

Charming

‘The Shack’ is adorable. Loving appointed with fun decorations. Private. The covered porch on the back is your outdoor living room, complete with TV. We had trouble getting in and out of the bed…we are 80 and 78, very agile, and not hard to please. Having said that, the comfortable bed was ‘too much’ for us. Our fault for not understanding what we were getting! Shannon and her rescue dogs are adorable.

Palm City How it Used to Be

The property far exceeded our expectations. We lived in Palm City from 1988 until spring of 2000 and lived the quiet, small town vibe. While the entire area has grown significantly, this property still retains that small town feel. Very quiet, and certainly the most relaxing vacation I can remember. All the comforts of home, landlord close by and ready to support if needed, but really only saw them for a brief conversation the morning after we checked in. All the privacy you could ask for. Cannot recommend any more strongly.

Absolutely Perfect!!

Gorgeous property great for dog owners. We planned on staying two weeks, and ended up staying a month. I work remotley, and the wrap around covered porch was great for my outdoor office. It was beautiful, quiet, and secluded. Just about every morning a cute little otter would swim by. Dan and Shannon were perfect hosts. Always there if we needed them, but not bothersome. Oh, did I mention GREAT for dog owners. Our dog Chesterfield is a feral rescue with anxiety. He did amazing! He loved going for walks around the property. Then lounging on the porch with the fans, or laying on the dock in the sun. Looking forward to a longer stay at the "Shack in the Back" next year. P.S. Jeff can't wait for the outdoor kitchen. Thanks again, Kellie, Jeff & Chesterfield

Perfect escape from Hurricane Ian

To say the tiny house was a gift from God is an understatement! Hours before hurricane Ian hit, we were trying our hardest to find a place to go with our 4 dogs…this place was perfect! The fenced yard was a lifesaver! And Shannon and her husband were literally the best hosts ever! They even offered their RV to our friends and their dogs so they could stay safe as well! I can’t wait to come back in better circumstances so we can kayak and enjoy the property more! Highly recommend and I tell everyone about our wonderful time there!

Glamping in Old Florida

A perfect spot for retreat and rest in the spring. Wonderful comfortably furnished porch where you will spend most of your time catching breezes from the river, using the private porch shower to wash away your cares, and going inside for deep sleep in cushy bedding. The interior of the "shack" is well thought out and carefully carpentered to make good use of all the space. There is no interior living area so be prepared for outdoor porch living or outdoor activity. My adult son and I stayed here while a visiting family who was at home on hospice so the serenity of the surroundings was welcomed. Though it is very private, the host is available nearby as needed. On our trip the Vrbo listed host was away but had arranged a family member to be substitute, and she came to orient me when I had questions on arrival.. I took my dog (Australian shepherd) with me and, though the property is listed as fenced, the fence in the back is open at the dock that is over water, so I could not let my dog out back off-leash. Other than that the property was just as described. There are ladder steps to the loft area which my adult son was able to access to sleep on the very comfortable floor mattress. This property is ideal for a single person, a small group get away, or a couple's vacation with or without young children. The children would need to be safely managed near the unfenced area of the dock. Loved the Old Florida feel of the location and the shack. My only suggestion to the host is to put some bedside lamps in place that are good for reading as the industrial type lighting inside produces a glare that is not good for focused work. We enjoyed our stay and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Awesome getaway!

I was worried at first since we were last minute and knew we wouldn't be able to find much on the beach. This turned out even better. This place is super cute, "shabby chic" and has everything you might need-- you will especially love it if you are a little bit country! The best part is the outdoor living space, the whole back porch, patio and privacy! The neighborhood felt really safe and we went out jogging with no worries whatsoever. Shannon, the host, is really great and will address any concern or question you might have. We will stay here again the next time we visit Stuart/Palm City and will recommend this place to family and friends!

The owner is super friendly, She has doggies too and they are adorable. The place is a gem. It was more than I expected. My son said he could work and relax like never before. We will be back!!

Hit our needs perfectly!

Our hosts went above and beyond, even giving us a honey backed ham for thanksgiving and inviting us to their thanksgiving lunch! The house had everything we needed: My wife and I were both able to video conference at the same time (so the wifi is great). Our dog had a great time running around in the back yard. It has a full size fridge, and an air fryer/ toaster oven (I may be mislabeling it) but it was able to bake or reheat just like a regular oven. The outdoor shower was a great change of pace, had good water pressure and was warm.

A fun, relaxing getaway

Our family of three really enjoyed our stay at the "shack." The outdoor shower, large covered porch, and the dock were a big hit. My fishing fanatic son caught lots of fish, the beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. If you like the beach and the outdoors, there are numerous places to visit and explore within a short driving distance, as well.
