About this house rental

A beautiful tropical 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom home in quiet and lovely Jensen Beach. This sunny retreat on a lush tropical property with Coconut palms, Banyan trees and a beautiful Bamboo birdhouse garden is a 2 block walk from the intercostal waterway and a 7 minute drive to great ocean beaches.
The 2 bedroom house was built in 1958 in a mid-century modern style. The well appointed master bedroom has a king size bed with high end bedding in a tropical style. The room is furnished in a design style that features dark tropical rattan furniture and tropical paintings. The bathroom has a full size shower and no bathtub. The 2nd bedroom is furnished with 2 twin beds. The living room continues the tropical design theme with key retro pieces of traditional Florida rattan furniture from the 1960's. The kitchen is equipped with a modern smooth surface electric range, microwave, toaster and toaster oven, Kurig coffee system, and a built in dishwasher.
This mid-century modern house is a well appointed artist retreat that is used by Billie Jo Thomson as a painter's retreat. Billie's paintings adorn the walls and the art is constantly changing. One signature piece was created for and used in the Tim Burton film, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children".
The house is located in Jensen Beach, a jewel of Old Florida traditions and styles. The beaches are beautiful and range from very accessible with life guards on duty 7 days a week to more secluded private quiet retreats.
Downtown Stuart is a 5 minute drive and is another jewel of Old Florida with a quaint main street in the traditional Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. With over 20 world class restaurants in a 3 block area, the nights are full of pleasant, friendly Florida entertainment.

We loved everything about our stay. Our host was responsive and kind. The house is comfortable had everything we needed to cook and to be comfortable. We loved the outside area, especially the bamboo grove. I found myself continually moving outdoors as the wind caused them to move and make such beautiful sounds. The yard was safe for our small dogs, the bed very comfortable and the added benefit of the washer/dryer made it possible to take care of our clothes after many days on the road. We loved the art that adorned the walls- There whole feel of the home made us feel...well at home! Thanks Chris for hosting us.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2021
This place was clean, well-stocked and cute, but very small and cramped. The backyard was misrepresented - leading us to believe we'd rented a place with a large open combination of patio and grassy lawn with lounge chairs, quaint table and chairs, and lots of shade trees offering privacy (as depicted in the photos). In reality, the owner's wife was living in a newly built studio that was essentially IN the yard I mentioned, and access to the yard and furniture I mentioned had been fenced off for her private use. We were left with a fully exposed patio and a postage stamp patch of grass for our dog. In addition, the instructions for the thermostat and the TV were inaccurate and the dishwasher overflowed. We left several days early.
