Dear Ann and John,
Thanks for taking such good care of our home. I know the pool is usually the star of the show for the grand kids, and I am glad they played with the yard games and board games in the game room.
As you may have found out during your stay, there are places for the doggies to go to in Jupiter too. A favorite is the Jupiter Dog Beach, just 15 minutes from the Shadey A.
I hope you and the family were able to enjoy some of the great restaurants and activities around town, like the movie-going experience at Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas Jupiter with reclining leather seats and full waiter service at the push of a button!
The Lucky Strike Bowling alley is good for a memorable day of entertainment! Bowling, arcades, delicious eats, and more.
We hope you and the family visit again,
Regards,
Marietta and Carlos
The most amazing hosts and beautiful location and the home is very relaxing. The hosts go out of their way to meet your stay to be perfection. I am a return visitor to their home just because of the hosts

Hi Robyn,
I hope this note finds you and the family healthy and well! I wanted to thank you for taking such great care of the Shadey A.
I am glad you spent some time in the heated spa and pool.
I know you like to spend your time reading books and that’s why we try to have comfortable places around the house to curl up with one.
Give our regards to Jack and I hope you guys will come and visit us soon.

The house was perfect for our annual family spring training trip. Everything was immaculate and fully stocked when we arrived. The documentation was thorough and informative. The pool was a highlight and perfect for the kids. It was clean and heated to the perfect temperature. The bicycles and basketball goal were a hit also. The house is decorated and set up for a wonderful stay. The only time we had even a small issue, Marietta and Carlos were instantly responsive and a delight to talk with. This was the best house we’ve stayed in during our 10 years of spring training trips. Highly recommend the house and the hospitality. Can’t say enough about both. Thanks, Marietta and Carlos.
This is our second time visiting Shadey Acres. We have enjoyed the large property, quiet neighborhood and it's proximity to Jupiter, offering many things to see and do. We continue to be impressed with how well the house and property are furnished. There is a full kitchen with all the appliances and tools that were needed to make 14 days worth of meals. We enjoyed riding the bikes around the neighborhood, spending lots of time in the heated pool/spa and playing badminton in the yard. The kids were pleased to each have their own private spaces again with all the bedding options. Wifi was fast. The pictures and listing are accurate. The kids are asking to go again next year. Marietta and Carlos are great hosts! Thanks for a great time!

Hi Chris and family,
Once again let me thank you for the excellent care you and the family took of Shadey Acres during your stay.
Also, I loved the sweet note and fridge magnets, it was very thoughtful.
I’m glad you all had the opportunity to enjoy the Manatee Lagoon, cooler weather really brings the incredible manatees to that warm basin, in full force. They are so adorable and they always have a few babies (calves) around.
You and the kids always seem to have so much fun while you’re here, really taking advantage of all the Shadey Acres toys, games and bikes, the pool and spa, and the many sights and activities the Jupiter area has to offer. One of our favorite things to go to with the grand kids is the Jupiter Lighthouse Cove Mini Golf, down by the Dubois Beach and inlet. There are two very nice 9-hole courses, they deliver food right to the course as you are playing, and the restaurant is good. There is an ice cream parlor and kid playground right in the same location! It’s tons of fun!
We look forward to your future visits and wish you a happy and healthy 2026.
Fondly,
Marietta and Carlos
Most impressive VRBO I have ever stayed in. Have stayed here many, many times and it is home away from home. The most well furnished VRBO. Everything you need, it’s there awaiting you.

Hi Carmela and Tony,
Once again, thanks for returning a third year to the Shadey A for your vacation time in Jupiter and taking such wonderful care of our house.
We know you have family nearby and it is very special to us that you share Shady Acres with your grandkids and your whole bunch. I remember that in your first visit in 2019 you had mentioned that two grandchildren who were previously wary of riding bikes without training wheels found the courage to ride without them, thanks to Shady Acres. These are the memories we are always so proud to be a part of.
I know you guys enjoy the area and we appreciate your tips about some of the fine local restaurants you have visited around town.
I’m sorry this response is a bit late in coming but the holidays came fast and furious this year!
Carlos and I wish you and the family a Joyous and Healthy New Year. Hope to see you in 2022.
Fondly,
Marietta
Shadey Acres was absolutely wonderful! It was completely stocked with everything you could possibly need. The extra details, such as the welcome basket, beach supplies and pool toys were wonderful! The beds were so comfortable, and the property was beautiful! The location is perfect, isolated but still close to everything. The welcome book provided tips on restaurants, shopping and places to explore. In addition to celebrating our birthdays, we got engaged! We absolutely loved Shadey Acres and will definitely stay again!

Dear Laurie and Eric,
First let us congratulate you on your engagement. What a romantic moment and we are so happy that Shadey Acres is now a part of your special memories. We wish you many Happy and Healthy years together (Carlos and I just celebrated our 42nd anniversary, time flies when you are having fun!!!).
I also want to thank you for the great condition that you left the Shadey A. I am so glad you enjoyed the house and property. I hope the doggies liked the yard too!
We have so many pet friendly restaurants in Jupiter, great for travelers like yourselves who want to bring their dogs along.
If you didn’t get the chance this time, I hope you will be able to get in some canoeing or kayaking in the beautiful Loxahatchee River, the river head is right there in Riverbend Park.
The wildlife abounds in the park, and also at the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, just down the street from the Shadey A, where you can see local wildlife that have been rescued and now have permanent homes in this wonderful place. They have Panthers and Foxes and Bears…Oh My!!
Taking in the Jupiter Light House is always my favorite and the Logger Head Marine Center is wonderful, the giant sea turtles are something to see, and the shark aquarium is fascinating.
Hope you visit again soon,
Marietta and Carlos
We loved the pool and the overall serenity of the property. Great vacation and I'd certainly be willing to visit again.

Hi Robert and fam,
Thank you for taking such great care of Shadey Acres. I am so happy that you got to relax on your vacation, which I think is the best part of any vacation.
I hope you took advantage of some of the great attractions, parks and beaches that are just down the Indiantown Road, which dead ends at beautiful Carlin Park Beach.
Heading East you are just around the corner from The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary which moved from town out to the farms at the beginning of this year. Located just 2 ½ miles from the house come and see panthers, bears, Bobcats, otters, crocs and gators among other Florida native wildlife and all kinds of birds of prey. Shows every day where you can touch a gator, snake, opossum and skunk (so cool). And it’s free! And all the proceeds from the adorable gift shop goes straight to the care of the Sanctuary and its occupants.
Another couple of miles down the road is Riverbend Park. Take a step back in time and enjoy walking, bicycling, riding, or canoeing through beautiful and historic Park. From the ancient Indian middens, through the Seminole War Battles, to present day restoration, see Florida as the first settlers did. Nearly 10 miles of hiking/biking trails, 7 miles of equestrian trails and 5 miles of canoeing/kayaking trails allow for hours of enjoyment. Stroll along the Wild and Scenic Loxahatchee River, visit the Cracker Farmstead, and picnic in the shade under a Seminole chickee. Take the 20-minute ride from the Shadey A with one of our bikes, or the 5-minute drive and rent a canoe, kayak or bike right there in the park.
We also have some great restaurants in town from $$ to $$$$ style, and all kinds of cuisines to choose from. Many of them have Uber, Door Dash delivery that will come right to the house if you feel like eating by the pool.
Shopping is fun, malls and local stores are all within 20 miles of easy driving.
So come on back and see us and take in some more of wonderful Jupiter.
With kind regards,
Carlos and Marietta

Hi Michelle and family,
Thanks so much for the good care you and the family took of the Shadey A.
I am so glad you all found our house welcoming and the beds so comfortable after your hectic flight to get here. We try to make the house cozy by turning on lights, so if you arrive in the dark you get a warm and fuzzy greeting.
I hope you all relaxed in the pool and heated spa and took advantage of all the great restaurants and fun places to go and see in the area. Our guests do like the information about the area that we have posted around the house.
Our guests really enjoy the amazing Loggerhead Marine Life Center in Juno, kids really like it there. The beautiful Dubois Lagoon, the fun Juno Dog Beach, and the famous Jupiter Light House and museum are just minutes away from the Shadey A.
We hope you come visit again soon,
Have a good 2025,

Hi Carmela and Tony,
Thanks again for coming to your home away from home, Shadey Acres, you are such considerate guests. It’s extra special that you have your children and grandchildren come and visit.
I hope you all have had a chance to visit the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, home of many rescued animals from our area and even some from other States. They have Cougars and Bobcats and Bears…Oh My…. Along with Owls, Eagles, all kinds of birds, Deer, Foxes and all kinds of reptiles. It has a great gift shop, and all proceeds go to animal rescue and sanctuary.
Another fun place to go for the whole family is the Lighthouse Cove Miniature Golf. It’s only about 20 minutes away from the Shadey A and hosts two lively courses, each with 18 holes everyone can enjoy. Paradise Falls serves up excitement for the whole family, complete with stroller accessibility. For those looking for even more adventure, there’s Lost Lagoon, it has caves and their amazing tropical aquarium featuring sharks as well as a variety of other large and small fish. One block from the beautiful beaches of Jupiter, it’s fun for the whole family - including grandparents and children of all ages. Enjoy an afternoon or evening of mini golf followed by dinner at the Burger Shack and ice cream from 3 Scoops.
We look forward to your next visit,
Fondly,

Dear Robert and Family,
Thanks so much for leaving our home in such great condition.
I know you were staying here as a family vacation combo wedding trip in Jupiter, but I hope you had time to visit some of our world class restaurants and shopping in our area. The Square Grouper Tiki Bar is a laid-back, open-air marina bar offering tropical drinks, bar eats & live music by the water. There is plenty more night clubs and fine eats just 25 minutes away on Clematis Street in West Palm Beach.
Carlos and I really love the Pon Tiki Cruises where you can enjoy the splendid scenery, drinks and Island music on the sleek Pon Tiki Party Barge. It leaves out of Harbourside and cruises the calm waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. The crew is friendly and fun.
Next time try a relaxing canoe ride or kayaking down the beautiful Loxahatchee River that is just minutes away in Riverbend Park or a day of golf at of some of the beautiful golf courses nearby. If you are into fishing, there are lots of charters available nearby at the Jupiter inlet
Visit our site shadeya and check it out for more attractions and fun. We look forward to seeing you next time, With fond regards, Marietta and Carlos
Shady Acres was a perfect place to escape winter and enjoy a family vacation. The house was perfectly equipped with everything we could possibly need! Extremely clean. Comfortable beds.

Hi Debbie,
Let me begin by thanking you for taking such good care of the Shadey A. I am so glad you guys enjoyed the grounds, house and pool, we really work at making sure our guests have a seamless vacation with us. I am sure your multi-generational family had lots of fun with all the games in the Game Room!
Spending a lot of quality time enjoying the ball parks is easy with the close proximity our house has to the Spring Training facilities in and around Jupiter.
Some other attractions just minutes away are the Rapids Water Park in West Palm Beach (a world class water park) and Lion Country Safari. We love the Wild Safari Drive-thru Adventure in the preserve where you can see Prides of Lions and free roaming animals in large herds including one of the largest herds of Southern White Rhinos in the country and the largest herd of zebra outside of Africa! You can hand feed Giraffes and the best part – both attractions, The Rapids and Lion Country Safari are only a short drive from the Shadey A.
And of course, we hope you found time to grab our beach chairs, umbrella and cooler to spend a lovely day at one of our gorgeous beaches that are just a short 10 minute drive, and if not, plan to do it next time!
Hope you all come and visit us again,
Regards,

Hi Cassie and family,
Thanks again for leaving the Shadey A in such great condition! I know you guys were here for Spring Training at the Roger Dean Stadium, but I hope you took advantage of some of the other attractions and around the Shadey A.
The Busch Wildlife is so wonderful, a taste of the Florida that most of us will never see, with all the local flora and fauna, even black bears and Florida panthers!
Many of my guests love the Loggerhead Marine Life Center, you can see the tanks with the huge loggerheads that are being healed and finally returned to the sea. From April to October you can even set up night time turtle walks to watch the turtles as they lay their eggs on the Jupiter shoreline.
Next spring the family can go “Inland Surfing” where the surf is always up! Kelly Slater will be opening his famous Surf Ranch with a man-made surfing lake on an 80-acre park in the Western regions of Jupiter Farms, just minutes away from our Luxury Vacation Rental, Shadey Acres! KAWABUNGA !!!
Of course canoeing, kayaking, biking and hiking are right in the neighborhood at the beautiful Riverbend Park. See deer, turkeys, and multiple species birds including nesting osprey. Alligators and turtles populate the many ponds and the Loxahatchee River. See all kinds of wildlife … in the wild! Visit the old farmstead, wood mill and the Seminole Village…Riverbend is really quite a place.
And of course you can’t beat the shopping and eating at Harborside Plaza, Jupiter’s fantastic family center on the Intracoastal water way. Great shops and restaurants, a fountain for kids to play in a farmers market on Sundays. Every third Saturday of the month they have the Harborside Antique car exhibit with live bands in the amphitheater….. And it’s free (along with many other events and shows)!
We hope to see you all on your next vacation.
Cheers,
Marietta and Carlos
Beautiful property, with lots of room to spread out and swim, play bumper pool, dine and relax. The beds are very comfortable as is the furniture/ Marietta and Carlos were very attentive to our needs. Quiet unique country setting, yet only a 15-20 minute drive to the beach.

Dear Julie and family,
Thanks for taking such good care of the Shadey A.
It makes us glad that your return visit (after having to postpone because of Covid) was a wonderful time for you and the family.
Even though many places have opened completely in Jupiter, there are so many beautiful places that offer “natural” social distancing.
The most beautiful park for biking, hiking, canoeing, or kayaking is Riverbend Park, which is a short bike ride from the Shadey A. (You can use our bikes or rent at the park, canoes and kayaks are for rent there also).
I hope you were able to visit the Historic Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum and climb the light for fantastic views and tons of local history.
Some of the fun restaurants are UTiki on the inlet and Harborside in which has several really great eateries, shopping and a weekly outside market and they are all just minutes away from the Shadey A!
Hope you come visit us again,
With fond regards,
Marietta and Carlos

Dear Nathan and Family,
Let me start by thanking you for taking such great care of Shadey Acres.
I’m so glad you enjoyed your family vacation here in Jupiter; I hope you had fun revisiting “The Farms”, cycling around the neighborhood and Riverbend Park, where bike trails abound and you can rent canoes and kayaks for extra family fun!
As you can see, in the last 20 years, Jupiter has changed from a small town to a very special venue, still maintaining that “small town feel”.
I hope you all had some fun visiting our local hot spots; Harbourside Place with its great restaurants, galleries, shops and live music and a Farmers Market on the weekends. The Loggerhead Marine Life Center is one of my favorites; I am always amazed by the giant Loggerheads, Leatherbacks and Green Turtles that are being nursed to health in this most unique nonprofit cultural destination focused on ocean and sea turtle conservation. We love to go the Cineplex Movie Theater, where they serve drinks and delicious food to you in your seat while you enjoy the current features.
We would love to welcome you and the family back to Shadey Acres for your next Jupiter vacation.
Have a Joyous Holiday Season and a Happy and Healthy New Year! – Marietta and Carlos
Best place ever. Everything you need is there when you arrive. Just like returning home but you are on vacation.

Hi Tony and Carmela,
We are so happy that you and Carmela love our home as much as we do. As always, thanks for coming back for your 4th visit and taking such great care of the Shadey A.
I am sorry you vacation got off to a late start thanks to Hurricane Ian, but I am glad you finally got a flight down so you could enjoy the last week of your vacation. Thankfully we didn’t suffer any real damage and I owe a special thanks to my maintenance team for cleaning up the massive amount of fallen branches and palm fronds from the grounds so completely before your arrival.
Over the years, I know you must have hit a lot of our high spots in town like Harborside and all the great restaurants and shops there. The Downtown Palm Beach Gardens and PGA Commons, as well as the Alton Center off Donald Ross Road are newer and chock full of stores, and great restaurants.
The big news is Spring of 2023 will find the Busch Wildlife will have moved out of Jupiter back out here to its new home in The Farms just 2.9 miles from the Shadey A (that’s a 5 minute drive, and 13 minute bike ride).
Hope we see you in 2023, have a wonderful Holiday Season and 2023.
Regards,
Marietta and Carlos

Dear Mary and family,
I am so glad you enjoyed your time at Shadey A and thanks for taking such good care of our home.
I’m pleased that Reid got use of the baby accoutrements we keep on site; I know it’s helpful to have a pack n play, high chair, stroller and baby plates and spoons at your vacation rental when you travel with a baby!
Next time you come you should make use of our bikes and take a ride around our beautiful neighborhood and Riverbend Park, which is only a few minutes bike ride away!
I hope you all had the time to visit Harbourside Place by the bridge in Jupiter; there is always something going on there, free concerts, green markets and great restaurants and shopping!
You had mentioned you were going to Lion Country Safari, I hope you snagged the family discount coupons I have on the Shadeya . com website, it really offers a great saving!
We are looking forward to having you next time, like us on Shadey Acres fb page for upcoming events and specials and check in at shadeya . com for more info, events and attractions in and around Jupiter and PBC.
Cheers, Marietta and Carlos
This property is beautiful, clean and super private. We had an amazing time in the heated pool and the beach is very close. We are all virtual, working and going to school and the WiFi kept up great. I can’t say enough great things. We were very sad to leave.

Hi Yelena,
Thanks so much for taking such great care of our home.
I am glad your family found happiness and comfort in the Shadey A during the covid quarantine.
Next time you come I hope you can take advantage of some of the great spots in Jupiter.
Harborside Place has great restaurants with lots of outdoor seating and a wide range of cuisines.
The shopping there is great too.
I hope you guys took advantage of some of the many outdoor activities, like canoeing or kayaking, hiking, and biking in the nearby Riverbend Park.
The Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is where you can see up close and personal the different wildlife that is living all around the Shadey A in the parks and wetlands that surround us on three sides. Take a walk on the Cypress Swamp boardwalk. Visit the great gift shop, all proceeds go to the animals.
Shopping is great in Jupiter with its many small businesses. Drive a little South to the beautiful downtown venues by the Gardens Mall and drive West on PGA Boulevard to the great restaurants and “Shop Small Style” shops in PGA Commons.
We hope to see you and the family again,
With kind regards,
Marietta and Carlos

Dear Tim and Linda,
Thanks again for the care you give the Shadey A when you come to visit; it’s always a pleasure having you folks! I know traditionally you spend a lot of time at the Roger Dean Stadium for the spring training of the Cardinals but I hope you had time to visit Harbourside Place by the bridge in Jupiter for shopping, free concerts, green markets and great restaurants!
I’m so glad you love to hangout on the Lanai by our heated pool and spa for barbecues after the games but if you haven’t been there already may I suggest that on your next visit you can take some weekend time and take a ride on one of the many tour boats that travel around Jupiter on the Intracoastal Waterway. A close up of some of the beautiful homes on Jupiter Island and our historic Jupiter Lighthouse are some of the highlights.
We are looking forward to having you next time, like us on Shadey Acres FB page for upcoming events and specials and check in at shadeya . com for more info, events and attractions in and around Jupiter and PBC.
See you next time, Marietta and Carlos
I like to give this place a SIX Stars Not FIVE .Perfect location and house for perfect vacation...Thank you Marietta...

Dear Adnan and family,
Thanks so much for the great review. I also want to give you a special thanks for the pristine condition you left our home in.
I know the heated screened pool and the hot spa at the house are hard to leave, but I hope you enjoyed the area, Jupiter really has some great shopping and dining just minutes from the house.
We like to recommend taking one of the local Intracoastal cruise tours in the area, you can get a new perspective on some of the great homes and historic sites here in Jupiter when viewed from the water. Check out our Shadeya Com attraction pages for more info.
Speaking of Historic sites, I hope you had the opportunity to visit our Jupiter Lighthouse, they offer to the top tours and lots of other fun activities there as well as the Tindal House, a Pioneer house furnished in its period and a Seminole Chichi. The Mariners Museum and gift shop on site are interesting and fun.
We look forward to having you all visit again.
Regards,
Marietta
About the host
Hosted by Marietta Alvarez, Manager
Over forty years ago I met my husband while on vacation in Florida. We fell in love and the rest is history……
A year later we married, moved to Jupiter and raised our five children right here in Jupiter Farms, just a couple of blocks from this very house. We now have five beautiful grandchildren.
We are semi-retired now and we really enjoy our work managing this vacation home, Shadey Acres. We love this area; it feels so rural but has so much to offer. Carlos and I bike to Riverbend Park from the Shadey A. We love to canoe the Loxahatchee River that winds throughout the park and up to Jonathan Dickinson State Park. The neighborhood is safe and very beautiful, great for biking and walking.
We love to travel and having a large family ourselves so we have rented a fair amount of Vacation Homes in our travels. Using those experiences we took the best of what we learned from those other homes and tried to incorporate it into our management strategies for Shadey Acres. We have tried to anticipate all of your needs and hope that you enjoy your stay with us.
We hope you find Shadey Acres inviting and comfortable. Please let us know if you need anything at all.
Why they chose this property
Why Palm Beach County and this property?
The reason we believe you will love it here is because this house is our vision of a perfect vacation home.
Shadey Acres has 3 king size beds, 2 twin beds anda queen tempurpedic sleeper sofa and enough living and dining room for everyone to find a comfortable place to sit and relax.
The property has gorgeous landscaping and a luxurious pool and spa that are very private.
A beautiful barn with a covered deck entwined with sweet smelling Jasmine is a cozy spot to sit and relax with a cold drink and a book.
The yard is big and great for playing games like family football or soccer, or maybe a little B-ball or Horseshoes and is completely fenced in so its pet friendly.
The location is wonderful; The Shadey A is minutes away from the beach, Riverbend Park and Northeast Everglades Natural Area (NENA) -the Historic Jupiter Indiantown Trail, Roger Dean Baseball Stadium and lots of fantastic shopping, restaurants and family entertainment - movies, bowling, miniature golf. Just 15 minutes from Harbourside Plaza a great place with live entertainment, upscale stores and restaurants and a Green Market. Rapids Water Park, Palm Beach Zoo, the Planetarium and other great attractions are all within minutes of Shadey Acres. With all these attractions nearby, we have to confess, our guests tend to spend a great deal of their time at poolside and relaxing in the gorgeous lush greenery of Shadey Acres.
Jupiter Farms has always been a great place to live and now the area and cities around it have really grown up into a perfect spot for a vacation. Jupiter Beaches are rated among the top 15 in Florida.
The neighborhood is a safe place and with large lots, there is lots of space between neighbors, affording our guests and their pet’s privacy. Shadey Acres sits on 2.7 acres that has a manicured yard as well as wild areas for the real taste of the old Florida. We're sure you and your family will love it too!
What makes this property unique
What makes this house unique?
Things that made us fall in love with the Shadey A were the fully screened heated pool with heated bubbling water fall spa. Having the full screen means you can sit out comfortably in the evening, without having all the local insect wildlife for company!
We love the carved stone Shadey A sculpture as you enter the property.
The fact that the property is so close to the back door bike entrance to Riverbend Park and the NENA trails is so much fun, we know because we enjoy riding the trails of the park.
The location is very easy to find for Out-of-Towners was a plus as well. Basically you just get on Indiantown Road West from either the I95 or Florida Turnpike, continue West about 4.5 miles to Haynie Lane, (just past the Beacon Church) make a left, go another 2 miles (just past the Randolf Siding 4-way stop), make first left on 159th Ct. N., (dirt road), and Shadey Acres is the second mail box on the right. Easy Peasy!
It’s also that easy to get to the beach, just out to Indiantown Road and take it East about 11 miles, it dead ends on A1A (the beach road), make a right and you are there! (And there are plenty of great restaurants and shopping along the way!)
