Citrus Cottage is roomy and modern with all the conveniences you need. The location is very central for the beach and restaurants in Hobe Sound, and just twenty minutes from both Jupiter and Stuart. Peggy is a very helpful and conscientious host. All great!

What a fantastic place to hang out for a few days. Lots of space for 2 people - could easily accommodate 4 without being on top of each other. Very nicely decorated, with lots of nice amenities. A real plus was the grab bars in the tub - a must for us seniors. Nice outside sitting area with a little putting green for a simple diversion. It is one side of a duplex located on a residential street close to the main highway, but you really feel like you are in your own space with no forced interaction with neighbors. Clean, comfortable, and quick communications with the host were among the many plusses.

Casual luxury in the heart of it all

This was my second stay here in the past three years. It remains top notch. The property is immaculate, beautifully decorated. Clear instructions for the amenities on site and the ones to use at the beach. The mattresses are supportive. The kitchen is fully stocked with two grocery stores a hop and a skip away as is the beach. TVs are new with oodles of channels. the outdoor patio is paradise. Thanks Peggy for another comfortable and safe stay.

Golf Tournament

The home was clean, larger than expected. Neighborhood was nice, quite and convenient. We were close to the golf course at Hobe Sound and close enough to the public beach. Plenty of restaurants. Especially Two Brothers Pizza.

Annual Florida Trip

Me and a friend drove straight from Maine to the house. Peggy was kind enough to let us in a couple of hours early since we had been on the road for 23 hours. The house was perfect for resting up on our way to Key West. we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Peggy

It was much larger than I expected which made it very comfortable. Lots of little extras in the kitchen and bath which were thoughtful. I was able to work both TVs from the directions provided considering I am technology challenged lol.
