About this property
Game Room · Fire Pit · 2 King Beds + Workspace
Picture your crew in a fenced yard at golden hour, the fire pit glowing while the dogs chase a ball and the kids race inside to the game room to fight over the arcade cabinets. This pet-friendly, family-friendly Stuart home sleeps 8, with two king beds, a bunk room, and a private backyard built for big group trips. Downtown Stuart is just 2.7 miles away, and the whole crew is back under one roof by nine.
ABOUT THIS SPACE
BACKYARD
The fully fenced yard is where the trip happens. The gas fire pit has adjustable flames and is ringed with Adirondack chairs and string lights. The covered patio seats 12, with a 50-inch Roku TV for outdoor movie nights, and the propane BBQ grill handles full cookouts. By day there is cornhole, Connect 4, Jenga, a mini basketball hoop, and a dartboard. Dogs and little kids can roam freely inside the fence. One heads-up: there is no pool or hot tub here. Instead you get a fire pit, a game room, and a yard that keeps everyone busy until bedtime.
GAME ROOM
Our converted garage is a dedicated game room, separate from the living area, with a Pac-Man 12-in-1 arcade, a Centipede 8-in-1 cabinet (compact wall-mounted units, so there is plenty of floor space), a full-size skee-ball machine, and a foosball table. Guests mention it more than anything else, and it saves every rainy afternoon.
LIVING AREA
The open living room has a 58-inch Roku TV, a sectional sofa, and a hideaway couch that pulls out to a queen mattress. A dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi-Fi sits in the living area.
KITCHEN AND DINING
The full kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, an oven, a microwave, a toaster, and a blender, plus a rice maker, baking sheets, and wine glasses. The coffee bar offers a K-cup brewer, a French press, and a drip maker, with K-cups and ground coffee stocked. The island seats two, the dining table seats six, and French doors open to the patio. A high chair and children's dinnerware are here too.
BEDROOMS
Master Bedroom: king bed, its own en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, Roku TV, and closet, set apart from the main living areas.
Hall Bedroom: king bed, Roku TV, vanity mirror, closet, and extra blankets.
Kids Room: a bunk bed plus an extra twin, room for three to four kids, with its own 32-inch Roku TV and closet.
BATHROOMS AND LAUNDRY
Two full bathrooms have towels for every bed, a hair dryer, and wall-mounted shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers. The hall bath has a tub/shower combo. A washer and dryer are yours to use, with laundry pods to start.
LOCATION & WHAT'S NEARBY
The house sits one block off US-1 in a quiet residential neighborhood, so everything in Stuart is a short drive away.

- Downtown Stuart: 2.7 miles to dining, bars, galleries, coffee shops, and the historic Lyric Theatre

The property was as described. Easy check-in (we arrived after midnight, so getting in easily was greatly appreciated after a 10 hr drive). The host was extremely communicative and provided great information before and during our stay. Plenty of towels, comfortable beds, and we all enjoyed the game room.

Thank you Shannon! We're pleased you and your family had a great time and appreciate you all staying with us. Please come back again!
This place was perfect for 2 young families. My sister and hers and me and mine met at this adorable, clean and cozy vacation home. It was a great location and had everything and more we needed. The kids- young and grown loved all the games! The beds were comfortable too! Matthew was super helpful and accommodating. We had an amazing time and plan to come back!

The property was exactly as described. Check in was incredibly easy due to how communicative the owner Matt is. He provided all the necessary information ahead of the stay and checked in throughout the stay to make sure there were no issues. The game room and backyard was a hit. Highly recommend this property!

Thank you very much Angie! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and made good use of all the amenities. We hope you come back and stay with us again!
We stayed at this location because it was close to family members. This is a great location, near shopping, restaurants, and a few local golf courses. Matthew was very quick to respond to any needs and questions. We did not use any of the arcades or outside games, however, can see where this would be beneficial to keep little ones busy during down times. The fenced-in yard was a bonus for our pet. We would stay here again when we need a place in Stuart.

Thank you Annette! We loved having you as guests and you are welcome to come back and stay anytime!
While my employees dedicated their time away from their families to carry out their work obligations, I found comfort in having a peaceful home to return to after a long, demanding day. This sanctuary allowed me to unwind and recharge, creating a calm atmosphere that I hoped would help my team relax and prepare for the busy days that lay ahead. Being able to provide a supportive environment made me appreciate the sacrifices they made even more.

Thank you, Brittany! We're pleased to know your team had a comfortable stay and understand how important that is when you're working away from home. We appreciate you booking with us, and please keep us in mind if your crew is ever back in town.
Matthews property was wonderful! It had everything we needed , was super clean, had labels on the drawers (I always appreciate this so I’m not searching constantly for small things). The beds were comfortable - they were even willing to remove the ladder from the bunk bed so we didn’t have to worry about our twin almost 3 year olds safety. The back yard was such a wonderful spot to hang out with the kids and our 5 year old loved the game room. The location was also great - super close to the grocery store , coffee shops, and shopping and the beach was only a 10-15 min drive . We would love to book here again some day!

Love love love this place!!
Perfect for a family vacation. Has toys and a big yard for kids to play in and every amenity you could possibly want.
Matt was so nice and welcoming!
We accidently locked ourselves out of the game room and Matt drove 90 minutes out of his way to come bring us a spare key. While he was there he made sure everything else was perfect for us.
The house is in a lovely quiet neighbohood, with a lake nearby with ducks the kids loved.
The beds are amazing and extra comfortable! My husband suffers from back pain and the bed was wonderful for him.
We are so glad we chose this vacation home for our trip! If your thinking of booking, don't hasitate, you will love it.
One more thing, we didn't find many reviews on the site we booked through, but found there were good reviews of this place on other platforms, so rest assured, we are one of many families who love Matt's place.
We had a wonderful Christmas week in Stuart at this home! The house was perfect for us. Clean, well appointed, great outside space, quiet neighborhood and convenient location. The fenced in yard provided a perfect space for our dog. If you have children they will enjoy all the games available, even the adults will as well! Matthew is a great host ! From booking to leaving he was communicative and responsive. You can tell that he genuinely cares about the comfort of his guests while staying in his home. The beds are comfortable,there are plenty of towels and beach towels available, extra blankets and pillows, well stocked kitchen, really we didn’t lack for anything while there. The neighborhood is safe and my husband was catching bass in the pond down the street! The location is perfect, being close to a grocery store, the beach only 6 miles away and historic downtown Stuart just 2.5 miles away. We will definitely rent this house again when visiting Stuart as it was perfect in every way for us!

About the host
Hosted by Matt B
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 bought this house because it gave us that small-town vibe while being minutes away from the beach and other amenities. Our goal is to extend those same opportunities for guests who are looking to create vacation memories of their own.
Why they chose this property
Make lasting memories in this ideal retreat, tailored for families seeking relaxation and excitement! This spacious 3-bedroom home boasts a vibrant kids' room with comfy bunk beds, creating a haven for your little ones. Enjoy seamless gatherings in the open living, kitchen, and dining area, perfect for bonding moments. Step outside to unwind on the covered porch or gather around the open-air gas firepit for cozy evenings under the stars. Entertainment galore awaits with indoor and outdoor arcade-style games, ensuring endless fun for all ages. Conveniently located within a 15-minute drive to both Stuart and Jensen Beach, indulge in the coastal charm and sandy shores nearby.
What makes this property unique
The home has an outdoor gathering area with a gas fire pit, a dedicated game room with arcade-style games, and a kids' room with bunk beds that sleeps 4 small children or 3 older children/adults. The couch in the living room folds out into a Queen bed to fit 2 additional people.
