Port Salerno Favorite

This is my third time staying in this adorable little cottage. The location is excellent - so close to the marina and walking distance to lots of great restaurants. The cottage is very clean and has all the amenities we need. I love the little extras that the Jill always has waiting for us. The bottle of wine and chocolates for New Years was such a lovely touch!

Cute Cottage, Perfectly Located

We loved our stay in Port Salerno. The cottage was clean, the kitchen well-stocked, plenty of towels and such. Beds very comfortable. Best was morning coffee or evening meals on the outside stained glass table and the close proximity to many restaurants. Just a short drive to the beach. The hosts were very friendly and made lots of great suggestions on things to do in the area. Highly recommend. and hel

Sweet Bungalow

We so enjoyed our little Stuart/Salerno bungalow and all of its amenities! We were visiting friends who lived less than a mile away, so the location was perfect for us. Beach-goers are not far away from several options, many pet friendly, and some great state parks. Town of Stuart is lovely. Felt safe and taken care of by owners. Thank you!

Nice little cottage *

Nice & clean . Disappointed that the Wi-Fi wasn’t working therefore we had no TV, music, communication etc. so basically just slept there. Wi-Fi came on day prior to checkout however only stayed on approximately one hour. No reimbursement was offered.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Jan 2023
Donna is correct - the wifi was not working until basically the day she checked out. AT&T has now fixed the problem and it is working fine. I did not realize you were looking for reimbursement; I'm sure we could have worked something out if you had mentioned it.

Great property. Awesome, walkable location. Wonderful hosts.

This property was a short, couple minute walk to the waterfront. Many restaurant choices within walking distance. The owners thought of everything when setting up the cottage, you have everything you need and want down to the smallest detail. The kitchen is well appointed so cooking/grilling was a breeze. We spent a lot of time on the outside covered patio. It is within 5miles of downtown Stuart and a short drive to the beach. Elliott museum was a fun day trip and right on the beach. Parks and trails nearby also. We were there two weeks and still didn’t get to do everything we wanted. The area offers so much. Highly recommend. The owners were very responsive and clearly strive to provide an excellent experience for their guests.
