Very good

We loved staying in this house. It was so old Florida, and yet had pretty much every modern convenience you would want. Beautiful back and front yards, with gorgeous gardens. The owners were extremely helpful -- cable wasn't working when we arrived, we called, they got it fixed within hours. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Cozy Cottage Near Everything
This great cottage is within a few minutes drive of multiple beaches, riverfronts, restaurants, and shopping. A nice children's museum, park, beach, and a long pier are within a 6-minute drive. Our group of four adults and two kids (ages 6 and 4) were very comfortable in the house. There was even enough space and chairs to host a small gathering (about 15 adults) of my extended family for dessert and drinks. The secluded outdoor shower was great for me and the kids to clean off after a day at the beach without bringing sand in the house. Take the owner's advice and go to the Dolphin Bar and Restaurant (great food, great view, and a place where kids can feed birds and fish).

Grew up on the Treasure Coast in a boater's paradise. Spent most of my summers in the Keys or the Bahamas. '93 Grad of the University of Florida. Worked and lived abroad for a decade between Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. Still enjoy spending time traveling the world and meeting fellow travelers but home for me is here in Jensen Beach, living the dream.
