Thoroughly enjoyed my boating guests. So pleased they liked our lil cottage and enjoyed our waterways. Due to their helpful suggestions, I took their advice and added items a traveler needs: beach bags, hair dryer, and ice packs in the freezer. Lovely couple and want them to visit again.

Great location for boating

A great weekend get away for boating. We brought out 23’ ft. Boat and were able to keep the boat in the slip by the house. Recommend launching the boat from Sandsprit park. The launch close by the house Owen is for smaller boats but we were able to launch there at high tide. House is very tidy and perfect for short get away. Owner is very good communicating if you have any questions.

Great spot.

This is a cozy place in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty to do in the area. Boat access is easy (on the water). Parking a trailer next to the house is very, very tricky because of narrow driveway. Host is very responsive and considerate.

Good rental

The location was what we wanted, convenient to things we wanted to do. The interior of the house is in very good condition. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with great appliances. There were some deferred maintenance items including challenging door locks and window drapes but none caused us any significant problems. The neighbors were very friendly and 2 neighbors had giant turtles that you could pet and feed.

Clean, Cozy & Comfortable

This was my second stay in Angelita's cottage, escaping the Wyoming winter and visiting family. This year I was pleased to see that the key entry had been replaced with an electronic lock, making coming and going easy with a 4-digit code. Otherwise, I can add nothing to my review of last year. It is still as clean, cozy and comfortable as ever, and I plan to return for a third visit next year!

Cozy cottage getaway

My wife and I loved this little place, quiet, comfortable and cozy we’re the words we used during our week stay. The home has been tastefully renovated, and had everything thing we needed, Angelita was a wonderful host and very responsive. When we arrived she met us at the house and showed us where everything was. We brought out 18’ Flats Boat with us and I was able to back it down the narrow drive with no issue, and there was plenty of room for it next to the house. The place does come with a boat slip located in a well protected cove behind the property, although we didn’t use it this time around. We will be retuning in the future, Stuart is a wonderful area, with some of the best fishing on the east coast. There’s plenty to do though if fishing isn’t your thing. Fine dining, beaches, shopping, walking, paddle boarding, etc. You will love it!

About the host

Hosted by Angelita Dennis

Host profile image
We are close by if needed. We have great memories in this house and lived here while our house was being built. Now, we are retired and have made our lil House available Our family wants you to have a peaceful visit and enjoy our location.

Why they chose this property

This was our family's first house on Rocky Point. We've kept in the family due to access to the Manatee Pocket in Martin County, Florida. From your boat slip it is a short ride to Sandsprit Park, Crossroads of the Indian River and the St. Lucie River and ocean Inlet. Centrally located easy drive to Stuart and West Palm Beach and away from busy traffic.
No extra fee to use dock it's in the rate.

What makes this property unique

Downtown Port Salerno has several restaurants on the water and on the main street.
Want seafood? Must try P3's Pinch Pull Peel 205 SW Monterey (4.5). and new restaurant on Monterey and Kanner Hwy./Monterey Plaza. Cajun Seafood Boil. Fresh, tender and tasty. I will buy your an appetizer "cheese curds" boil.
I also, personally, recommend a call for a pick-up from Basin Seafood.
Stuart downtown has much to offer and is a must for shopping and treats.
