Great service

The house was as advertised. We had a slight problem with one of the toilets, so I sent a message to them. In five minutes, they replied that they would be over to fix it. It was fixed before an hour was up, and David was on his way. Quiet setting in a residential neighborhood. .

Ok spot - needs updating

This house is in a good location. It is very outdated on the inside. There are a lot of rules surrounding check out, e.g. the host insisted paper towels and toilet paper are replaced. They also asked for a picture of my id sent to their personal cell phone. Overall it is too expensive for the quality of the rental and the hassle of checkin and check out.

Beautiful location, Beautiful home

We stayed at "The Osceola" house for 3 weeks. It was convenient to our purpose there (Cleveland Clinic Docs) and was the best base camp for exploring the area. We had a couple of friends and family visit who also loved the house and the area. The property and yard are beautiful, the neighborhood and private park are gorgeous and the owner is a great communicator. VERY NICE VRBO! Hope to return someday!

Family gathering

This home mostly worked out very well for us with our 3 adult children and a dog. We enjoyed walking around the lovely neighborhood - to the waterfront on two sides just a few blocks away. The open spaces of the living room, office and kitchen are generous and comfortable. We were dismayed to learn foldout mattress must be blown up. We didn’t see any directions for this which is odd considering all of the other helpful messages provided by the homeowner.

Many Problems

The house was great, but a lot of traffic noise, no toilet paper, septic alarm going off because of 1950's toilet, 1950's windows that we were instructed not to open, creepy laundry room, screen on dryer full. We were accused of smoking in the house and purposely plugging the toilet on our first days there. Not true.But I was charged.

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Hill

Host profile image
We own a commercial design business and initially purchased this home as an office space. However, as our business grew, we needed more room. Despite that, we fell in love with the property and its 1950s retro charm, reminiscent of the homes we grew up in. Wanting to preserve its character and uniqueness, we decided to keep it.

As native Floridians, our roots run deep in Martin County—our children are the fourth generation of our family to call it home. We are actively involved in our community, dedicating our efforts to preserving its most distinctive and cherished landmarks. Our pro bono projects have included work for the Lyric Theatre, the Mansion at Tuckahoe, the ARC, HPS, and Kiwanis Park at Woodlawn.

Why they chose this property

This wonderful old home spoke to us, just like the homes we grew up in, it features wonderful large closets and beautiful Dade County pine wood floors. We were also drawn to the privacy of the lot, still so close to town, yet surrounded by majestic trees and a large driveway, offering convenience and seclusion.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location! This home sits on a huge lot with beautiful trees and gorgeous wood floors. It's within walking distance to the vibrant and historic downtown, where you'll find unique restaurants, bars, boutique shopping, and the scenic riverfront boardwalk. During the winter months, enjoy festivals and live music along the waterfront.

Conveniently located, it's also just a short walk to Martin Medical Center and the Cancer Center. Only two blocks south of the St. Lucie River and just minutes from beaches, boat ramps, and golf courses, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy and accessibility!
