This 3/2, WiFi, pet friendly, home on the water is perfect for couples or families desiring a sub-tropical get-away any time of year. You are welcome to use our bikes, beach and fishing equipment.
Nearby are numerous activities and services available when you are ready to explore the Nettles Island community: 2 pools, hot tubs, beach and Beach Club, Marina, Clubhouse/ Recreation Center, Gym, Stores, Restuarants, etc... all within walking distance.
Nettles Island is a resort community encompassing a 24-hour security gated neighborhood development in the saltwater Indian River Lagoon between the Ft. Pierce inlet to the north and the St. Lucie inlet to the south. The private and unspoiled beach and Beach Club is 3 blocks away which includes a large heated pool, restrooms, showers and a snack bar. Walking, bike riding and golf carts are the most common forms of transportation in the community. You are welcome to rent our 4 seater golf cart with side flaps for $20/day $100/week or $250/month.
Bring your boat to explore the lagoon, spoil islands and inlets. You are welcome to tie up securely to the dock.
You can walk or jog for miles and miles along the gently sloping wide beach seeing very few people or bring a flashlight to the beach at night in the summer months and often observe the giant sea turtles come ashore to dig a nest in the sand and lay their eggs
The Neighborhood: In the commercial center you will find a marina, restaurant and best of all, The Village Grocer. There you will find groceries, baked goods, sandwiches, beer, wine, bait, rent fishing gear, rent movies, buy souvenirs or just have a nice chat with the locals.
At the other end of the development along the waterway, you will find the activity clubhouse (Rec Center) and lots to do: tennis, horseshoes, mini golf, shuffleboard, bocce ball, basketball, playground, larger heated pool with 2 hot tubs and restaurant open for breakfast and lunch, workout room, pool & ping pong tables, arcade games, computers with internet and more.
The House: Bright island colors and comfortable decor will welcome you as you enter the cottage. A wall of windows in the family room and kitchen provides a serene view of the waterway on the quiet East wall of Nettles Island. It is not uncommon to see dolphins in the morning, many varieties of birds, fish jumping out of the water and occasionally a manatee.
The kitchen has all the major appliances and is fully stocked for cooking and the adjoining family room has a 37' flat screen TV with a DVD player and a surround sound system. A stereo and CD player are also available or bring your own iPod to plug into the sterio.
The larger bedroom includes a comfortable queen bed, a small bathroom with a nice size shower, and a 32' flat screen TV. The second bedroom also has a queen bed. The third bedroom has a sturdy wooden bunk bed: double mattress on the bottom and twin mattress on top. All bedrooms have closets and dressers. All rooms have ceiling fans and central A/C and heat.
The Dock: Walk a few steps out the back door to get a closer look at the boats slowly motoring by or cast a line and catch fresh fish for dinner. The dock has a built in bench along with portable table and chairs which make it a great place to fish, eat, read and relax while taking in the view. In the cooler months, open up the sliding door to enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze throughout the house.
Upon check in, the house will be stocked with a limited amount of necessities: toilet paper, tissues, soaps, shampoo for the bathrooms and dish soap, dishwasher soap, paper towels, trash bags and coffee in the kitchen. All bed linens, towels (including beach towels) and kitchen towels are provided.
Please be aware that the seawall is very close to the back door. It is recommended that all renters, especially children, be able to swim. Since we are close to the seawall, the cottage is up 4' feet; therefore, upon entering there are 8 steps up to the living area.
We know you will enjoy your stay. It is a wonderful place.

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy? Albert Einstein Well Albert didn't get a chance to stay here on vacation. Had he, he would have happily appreciated not only the lovely accommodations but also the opportunity to ponder universal mysteries while kicking back on the sunny deck. Or as he rode 'round the island on the zippy bicycles. Or as he prepared a quick lunch in the well-stocked, spacious kitchen to be enjoyed waterside. There is certainly more than enough here to make nearly anyone happy. Enjoy. And take opportunities to ponder.Owner response: My most clever review...thanks!

We arrived at our rental on Monday April 1, 2013 to a very clean house. We immediatly walked around and found it to be perfect for the 2 adults and 3 children of our family. My 15 yr old went straight to the dock and found the fishing poles to begin his week of fishing, florida style. Unfortunatly he never reeled one in, but had a couple on his hook. I sat on the dock every morning with a cup of coffee and a perfect view of the sunrise. Nettles Island has an awesome pool at the beach, which we went to daily. During spring break time, we needed to get there by 9:30a.m. to get a spot and we were told the pool inside the park was the same. Allison was very easy to communicate with through email, very helpful to us the day of arrival. We had a great week with our family. The only negative to Nettle Island is alot of rules, but not are well within reason to keep a safe atmosphere for you and your family. We will definetly be back to stay.Owner response: Spring Break holidays of March and April are the busiest time of the year at Nettles Island and is a beautiful time of year to visit. The community is almost always 100% occupied. I am happy to hear you enjoyed your stay.

We stayed at this very comfortable, clean, and well kept retreat for over 2 weeks. We loved it. The house had all the amenities we needed. Allison provides everything needed inluding sheets, beach and bath towels, bikes, wifi, etc.. The location was perfect. The house is right on the water and has very nice views of the East Indian River, mangroves, and Hutchinson Island. We came down with our boat. We greatly appreciated the use of the dock and access to wonderful waterways. We thank Ray, the dock master, for his assistance with the storage of the trailer (for a fee). The Nettles Island community is very quiet and well maintained. It offers a great deal of amenities such as the exercise equipment room plus easy access to a beautiful beach. Allison and HB were very responsive at returning our phone calls. We will definitely rent this house again and recommend it to others.Owner response: Thank you for sharing your positivie experience.

The whole family convened for a Thanksgiving week reunion. We found the house to be in impeccable shape, very comfortable and tastefully decorated, as well as fully equipped with everything that you could want or need. Especially appreciated was a sharp chef's knife! The weather was windy and pretty cool. We really didn't go anywhere, but preferred to hang around the house catching up with each others' lives. There was a brand new baby for the aunts and uncle to get to know, too, so that limited our going out. We fished off the back dock & caught a couple of catfish, jacks and a Spanish mackerel, all of which were put back in the water. The bait shop is a 5 minute walk away--very convenient. We woke up to find dolphins just off the dock one morning, and each day we watched the ospreys hunting and diving. There are a couple of nests on a mangrove island just in front of the house. The stars were wonderful on the clear nights! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return another time. Allison was very communicative at all times, so things went very smoothly. Thanks to the Warners!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Members of my family and I traveled to Hutchinson Island to attend my nephew's wedding. Allison's home has the ideal location; all the amenities (and more!) one could ask for, impeccably clean, wonderful view, and so so close to the beach. We all wished we could have stayed longer. Nettles Island is quiet, clean and friendly. The beach area and beach pool belonging to Nettles is beautiful. There is no need to pay high prices to stay ocean front when you can stay at Allison's home and enjoy all the luxury of your own home. Thank you Allison. We created memories which will last a life time. We all hope to be back to your home to visit Hutchinson Island again.

My wife and I were sitting on the dock discussing the past 18 years of our marriage since it was our anniversary and we saw a large bird illiminated by the full moon. It was then that I fell in love with my wife all over again. The shells on the beach are the best. I caught 2 catfish and 2 'yellowfish' off the dock. Thank you for the memories!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/2

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1998
About the owner: We have lived in south Florida since 1987 and purchased the property and built the cottage to use for our family fun in the summers near the beach. Since our 3 daughters are 'all grown up' we are happy to share the use of the house for others to enjoy. Nettles Island is the place for creating happy memories!
Why the Owner Chose Nettles Island:
We love the beautiful uncrowded and unspoiled beach as well as all the Nettles Island resort has to offer.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The view and access to the dock on the waterway is very special from inside the house and sitting on the dock. In the summer we enjoy sitting on the dock bench with a glass of wine, sharing the day's events and watching the moon rise over the water some special evenings.
