Disappointment

This property is in a great location, walkable to Stuart and numerous restaurants and shopping. Also, quality sheets, towels and blankets. Kitchen had most essentials covered. The issue was cleanliness. I selected this site because reviews noted it a clean. Far from the case. I had to clean all door handle areas all were very dirty. Floor of shower was slippery with mold. I understood the insects but the owner didn’t respond with an exterminators until I reported the issue a second time! It was so uncomfortable we left early. I was so disappointed.

Wonderful getaway to Florida

My husband only had a few days, but enjoyed every minute of our stay at Peace Cottage. It was conveniently located to downtown Stuart, very walkable. We drove to the beach, which was a short distance. The cottage suited our every need, with the exception of adequate beach chairs. Since we flew from NC, we couldn't bring our beach equipment, it would be nice if the beach chairs get replaced. That is our only complaint, loved the charming cottage!

Quaint cottage

I love the fact that this is a 1925 home with some history. Mary Jo has decorated it in a very appealing way. I found everything I needed and all was in working order I sat by the canal several nights with wine and listened to the soft music coming from the bar across the way. Stuart has many shops and several preserves and beaches near by for hiking and kayaking. 😀

Cozy Cottage

This was a wonderful space. Very old but felt fun and freshened. It was close to shopping and restaurants. It was a very comfortable stay and exactly like it was described. We had four adults and it was perfect for us.

Peace Cottage Stuart Florida

We were in town for my birthday and my MCHS 50th reunion. The cottage was superbly decorated and super clean! Great location! Beds were comfortable. Great outdoors with shady brick patio, table and chairs, gas grill, large backyard. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We truly enjoyed our stay. I would rate our stay a10 out of 10!

Fun historic home. Walking distance from everything in downtown Stuart. Quiet and private on the property. Access to the canal behind the property. Near businesses, but wasn’t an issue.

CHARMIING COTTAGE WITH GREAT LOCATION

Loved the designer feel of this quaint spacious cottage right in the heart of Stuart Florida. Could easily walk into town for breakfast and dinner. Parked on the street as the side driveway has rocks and is a narrow driveway. Mattress is very soft in the Master Bedroom. Didn't use the second bedroom so can't really speak to that. Home has a musty smell probably due to being closed up and age. Overall, great space and lots of charm and was perfect for our visit to Stuart.

Cottage charm in town

Peace cottage was absolutely charming and provided all the amenities a family would need on vacation. In addition, the path in the back yard with bamboo and palm trees felt like old Florida right in the middle of town. The convivence of in-town accommodations was perfect as parking can be challenging in Stuart. The beaches on Hutchinson Island were a short easy drive from the cottage.

Unique Oasis in Stuart

A lovely cottage in Stuart within easy walking distance of downtown. Clean and quaint, with high-quality updated amenities and old-Florida charm. Tasteful and snug. Stunning bamboo forest to amble through to the property's dock, on the canal. The only minor downside to this property is its proximity to US Hwy 1 (1 block) and the train tracks (3 blocks), both of which can sometimes be heard.
