Perfect beach getaway!

We stayed for a week at Nettles Island and loved it! The house is compact but has a super efficient set up, and has all the conveniences you need. It is tastefully decorated, clean and is brand new! The amenities at nettles island are all included; 2 pools (one right next to the beach!), tennis courts, shuffleboard, mini golf you name it. Our teenage daughters loved driving the golf cart around and exploring everything on their own. Tom and lorraine were excellent hosts, super responsive and they explained everything so well. We would really recommend it if you want a fun and comfortable beach stay!

Immaculate and well-equipped!

This property was PERFECT for our needs. It was in an excellent location and the community offered wonderful amenities such as a club house. It comes with a golf cart that can be used to drive across the street to the beach. The home itself was spotless and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need. They really thought of everything. Tom and Lorraine were amazing hosts and were so responsive to our many questions and had great recommendations for things to do in the area. If our travels bring us back to the area we will be sure to stay there!

Immaculate and Very Well-Equipped

We stayed two weeks at this property on Nettles Island and loved it. The house was absolutely immaculate and nicely decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped with anything you would need. They truly thought of everything. The beach was beautiful and was just a short ride from the house by golf cart, bike or car. Tom and Lorraine were awesome hosts. it was obvious that it was important to them that we have a nice vacation. They quickly responded to any questions prior to booking and beyond. They provided good information on points of interest and also sent information during the stay relative to current events. We will definitely be back.

Dear Jim and Deb, We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at our home and had the opportunity to tour Hutchinson Island, the secret gem on the Treasure Coast. It was such a pleasure to meet you both and point out the areas of interests and restaurants for you to enjoy. Tom and I so appreciate how nice and tidy you left our “Nettles Nest.”…….over and above. 🥰 Thank you. We know you were disappointed that your west coast of Florida stay was cancelled, but nothing can beat the surf and waves and no traffic our coast offers, and look forward to your return. Warmly, Lorraine and Tom.

Family Vacation

We had the best vacation at Nettles Nest. There is so much to do and the beach is beautiful! Tom and Lorraine were great, very accommodating and always responded quickly to messages. When we stayed they also had beach towels, chairs, a cooler, umbrella, sand pail and tennis rackets/balls. We can’t wait to go back!

Nettles Nest

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this property. The accommodations are superb. The house was super clean, and there were a lot of "special touches" that showed the owners really strived to make the rental experience a positive one. We are "frequent flyers" to this area, however we had never stayed on Nettles Island, it was great, taking the golf cart across the street to the beautiful beach and pool area was a plus. We hope to return to this property at some point in the near future . thank you for a wonderful vacation. !

We are glad we had all the items and accessories you needed. Nettles certainly is an unique getaway. We are fortunate for twenty years we live in the sunshine, swim in the ocean, and enjoy the salt air. Life is Good on Hutchinson Island😎

Perfect family getaway!

We echo the preview comments regarding our stay at Tom and Lorraine's house on Nettles Island. The property was perfect for our family of 4. Clean, beautifully decorated, stocked with everything you need. Loved the uncrowded beach, pools, clubhouse and use of the golf cart. Tom and Lorraine were wonderful, so organized and were easy to contact if we were to have any issues (which we did not). We will definitely return. If the opportunity comes in the future. Thank you!

Amazing week on Nettles Island

Tom & Lorraine's home is the perfect location on Nettles Island. It is a very short walk to the rec center with a pool, outdoor & indoor games. The beach is a short trip by bike, golf cart or car. The hosts were amazing and had so many extras available for use. The island itself is a unique little paradise. We would definitely visit again and I would highly recommend booking with Tom & Lorraine!
