Citrus Cottage is roomy and modern with all the conveniences you need. The location is very central for the beach and restaurants in Hobe Sound, and just twenty minutes from both Jupiter and Stuart. Peggy is a very helpful and conscientious host. All great!
This place was amazing. Nice quiet neighborhood. Super clean property and overall 5 stars. Thanks for providing an awesome place to stay while I was visiting family!
What a fantastic place to hang out for a few days. Lots of space for 2 people - could easily accommodate 4 without being on top of each other. Very nicely decorated, with lots of nice amenities. A real plus was the grab bars in the tub - a must for us seniors. Nice outside sitting area with a little putting green for a simple diversion. It is one side of a duplex located on a residential street close to the main highway, but you really feel like you are in your own space with no forced interaction with neighbors. Clean, comfortable, and quick communications with the host were among the many plusses.
The place was amazing, looked way better than me and my friend imagined it would look like, our stay here was awesome and we will definitely be back, (Just missing A Pool)
We had an amazing time at Peggy citrus cottage. Close to the beach many great restaurants. The house is beautiful nicely decorated immaculately clean everything you need even bicycles take a ride we will be back. Thanks
Excellent stay, house was clean and set up with a very cute beach theme.
We enjoyed our stay and have no complaints at all. House was clean, beds comfortable, shower head had great water pressure, sofa bed was even comfortable, loved the beach theme decor of the house super cute, and we loved the back patio. Great communication with the owner, we would stay again.
Another week spent at Peggy’s Retreat and it continues to be my favorite place to stay in the Hobe Sound area. Perfectly appointed, the stay was everything I needed! Thanks once again Peggy!

Thank You for staying with us for another vacation family trip.
House was clean and well kept. Spacious, comfortable furniture and layout was great as was the outdoor space in backyard. Beds were comfortable, clean linens and towels - even had beach towels and bikes for our use.

About the host
Hosted by Peggy Radanovich
I was born and raised in Florida, my husband is from New Jersey. He was tired of the frigid winters and shoveling snow so he moved to Florida. We enjoy serving our community and our local church, we love camping, and would love to travel to Montenegro to meet his family.
Why they chose this property
We love Hobe Sound because it is a small town, quiet and peaceful, but close enough to the bigger towns and cities so that you don't miss out. It is bordered by many state parks and nature preserves.
What makes this property unique
This home has so many unique qualities inside, but our favorite spot is the backyard patio, it is so peaceful, the birds and butterflies come out to meet you every morning. Also the stars and the moon at night are breathtaking.
