The Home

A Family Escape Built for Togetherness

Stuart Coastal Cottage was designed from the ground up for families and groups who want more than a place to sleep. Every corner of this bright, open-concept home was chosen to spark joy — from the fully loaded arcade game room to the gas fire pit glowing in the fenced backyard as the Florida sky turns pink at dusk.

Step outside and discover your private outdoor oasis: a covered porch with a 55" Roku TV and lounge seating, an al fresco dining area, a propane BBQ grill, and giant lawn games that somehow keep the adults competing just as hard as the kids. When evening settles in, gather around the gas fire pit in its circle of Adirondack chairs and let the night stretch out.

Inside, the dedicated arcade room — packed with Pac-Man, Centipede, Skee-Ball, and foosball — is genuinely rare for a vacation rental, and it shows in every review. The fully equipped kitchen, king beds in two rooms, and ocean-themed bunk room for the kids round out a home that's as comfortable as it is memorable. Dog-friendly and single-level, it welcomes every member of the family.

As a military veteran who loves to travel, I understand the importance of having a place to go after a long day of exploring to come home, unwind, and relax. I also know that eating out can get quite pricey, so having a place where families can cook their own meals is a bonus. We renovated Stuart Coastal Cottage with families in mind: the arcade room, the fire pit and the fenced backyard are there so everyone, kids and dogs included, can make memories together. Our goal is to give guests the same chance to create vacation memories of their own.
