About this property

Roonie's Periwinkle Cottage - waterfront- 2 bikes - downtown Stuart

Would you like to get to know the local flavor of downtown Stuart? Would you like to explore by biking the area? Minutes from the beaches, shopping and restaurants? We are looking for people who don't want the typical hotel experience.
We live in a great location and love it here! The main house, which we live in, overlooks the St Lucie River, The cottage sits in front of the main house which gives you complete privacy and lets you come and go as you please. We have lived here since 1984 and done extensive renovation to a 1930's home and cottage. The property has been like an art piece for us. When we bought the property, the yard was minimally landscaped and the house needed major work. Over the years, we have converted our property into a wonderful, nature lover's haven. Our yard looks like something you'd find in Key West. We are organic gardeners and grow pineapples, papaya, key times, veggies and lettuces in our garden boxes along with many herbs. We share whatever is in season. If you are looking for a great experience, you'll find it here! We live on the St Lucie River and allow our guests to enjoy our dock for sunsets or a morning coffee. A beach in our yard provides a quiet get away for reading.

The Cottage details:
Shared washer and dryer with owners. The cottage is equipped with a separate kitchenette to include a frig/freezer, induction hot plate, large toaster oven, juicer, blender, pans, dishes, glassware, and utensils. OOMPLETELY EQUIPPED! The cottage has a dining table w/4 chairs, a very comfy queen bed, a leather sofa, coffee table and end table, wall unit with cable flat screen tv, wireless internet, chest of drawers, closet, vac, linens, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella, 2 bikes, and a separate bathroom with a shower. In the front of the cottage is a small garden with a gas weber BBQ grill. Enjoy mornings in the garden drinking a cup of Joe or for an evening dinner. We try to give you complete privacy, but are always available for any questions that you may have. The cottage AC is a split unit which is very quiet as the compressor sits outside on the ground like central AC. The floors are all tile for easy maintenance. We have included games and books. Additionally, we have a book on the dining table with all of our favorite things to do and places to go. We include an Enjoyment Book for all of our visitors', use that discounts (2 for 1) local restaurants and activities. We hope you'll try us for a exceptional vacation experience.
Additionally, two bikes are available for use should you like to cruise the area in slow motion :-)
We will collect a 5% county bed tax upon arrival. VRBO collects the FL sales tax, but the county tax is our responsibility. The total of the tax is calculated on the weekly rate + the cleaning fee.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, My name is Christi and I work in our boutique real estate business that my husband and I own. I am also a professional photographer. My husband, George is retired and tends to our tropical yard that overlooks the St Lucie River. We are organic gardeners and have two raised bed gardens. We grow pineapples, limes, key limes, papaya, barbados cherries, and bananas. Currently we have bok choy, squash, peppers, broccoli and brussel sports growing along with numerous lettuces. We try to do everything through natural resources. We love Florida and enjoy meeting folks from numerous life walks. I am a water girl…I love the ocean and fresh water springs. George and I prefer being outside. We love our property and hope you will too!

Why they chose this property

Stuart is a special place. We moved up from South Florida in 1982 to get away from the rat race. What we found in Stuart was natural beauty, low density growth, a sense of community and lots of water. Stuart has an inlet to the ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the north and south forks of the St Lucie River. There wasn't much here in the 1980's but over the years and through thoughtful planning, our town has grown to include commercial areas (great shopping and restaurants) and our charming downtown areas. Many of the small area beaches on Hutchinson Island were purchased over the years to allow for a quiet or active choice of beaches. Environmentalists have had a great deal to say as to how Martin County was developed. We have a four story building limit here so we will never be drown out by towering condominiums and much of the natural beauty has been preserved.
Our home was built in the 1930's. That is very old for Florida. We have renovated both the house and cottage but love the quaint charm of that era which makes this property so special. We love the location, too and the proximity to stores, restaurants and the beaches. Many activities are within easy walking distance. The cottage is your home away from home. Everyone loves it. We supply everything you will need, chairs, beach towels and bikes to explore. Everything is so much more interesting from a bike, as life slows down and doesn't pass in a blur. There is a gas weber BBQ in the front garden, so bring the candles to the outside dining area for a romantic evening or pack our picnic back pack for a beach outing. We have a washer and dryer for your use too! We try to make this an experience that you will never forget.
