Peace Cottage was every bit as lovely as its photos. The old fashioned charm, especially in the kitchen, was one of the reasons I was drawn to this property. I can't say enough about how wonderful the host was. She was so warm, and friendly. I would recommend Peace Cottage to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay.

A wonderful stay at Peace Cottage

We loved the cozy cottage, and there was everything we needed. The cottage is close to shops and restaurants in town. It is a short walk to Shepherds Park on the St Lucie River and to Riverwalk. We would stay again!

Loved it! Location is very convenient. Whatever you need is close by. Stuart FL is amazing. My first time experiencing an outdoor shower and I surprisingly loved it. Being able to fish at your convenience on private property is pretty dang cool. I also can't express enough how a host can make or break the experience and the host definitely made the experience very comfortable and they are very understanding. We were the lucky ones to be able to stay here.

Peace Cottage Stuart Florida

We were in town for my birthday and my MCHS 50th reunion. The cottage was superbly decorated and super clean! Great location! Beds were comfortable. Great outdoors with shady brick patio, table and chairs, gas grill, large backyard. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We truly enjoyed our stay. I would rate our stay a10 out of 10!

Fun historic home. Walking distance from everything in downtown Stuart. Quiet and private on the property. Access to the canal behind the property. Near businesses, but wasn’t an issue.
