Hours before hurricane Ian hit, we were trying our hardest to find a place to go with our 4 dogs…this place was perfect! The fenced yard was a lifesaver! And Shannon and her husband were literally the best hosts ever! They even offered their RV to our friends and their dogs so they could stay safe as well! I can’t wait to come back in better circumstances so we can kayak and enjoy the property more! Highly recommend and I tell everyone about our wonderful time there! ##### Annette H.

Mar 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Palm City How it Used to Be The property far exceeded our expectations. We lived in Palm City from 1988 until spring of 2000 and lived the quiet, small town vibe. While the entire area has grown significantly, this property still retains that small town feel. Very quiet, and certainly the most relaxing vacation I can remember. All the comforts of home, landlord close by and ready to support if needed, but really only saw them for a brief conversation the morning after we checked in. All the privacy you could ask for. Cannot recommend any more strongly. ##### Robert I.

We asked the owners if this would be okay and they quickly replied that it was. The boy wants us to stay here if we ever visit again. Dan and Shannon are some of the friendliest helpful hosts that we’ve met. Shannon’s mother lives on the property and is also lovely. She invited the boy to swing. As noted in the description, the kitchen and shower are outside so exposed to nature and such. Dan even took the time to write some notes about restaurants and local activities as he was heading out of town. ##### James B.

Loving appointed with fun decorations. Private. The covered porch on the back is your outdoor living room, complete with TV. We had trouble getting in and out of the bed…we are 80 and 78, very agile, and not hard to please. Having said that, the comfortable bed was ‘too much’ for us. Our fault for not understanding what we were getting! Shannon and her rescue dogs are adorable. ##### Susan Y. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan M.

This was a great place to stop with our kids for the night while traveling for the holidays, but we only wish we had time to stay longer!!! It was so much fun to have an awesome “glamping” experience- the kids had fun roasting marshmallows and making s’mores, dad loved casting his reel out from the dock, mom loved the comfort of the beautifully decorated, cozy cabin. Our hosts were so gracious in accommodating our family, even when we booked on very short notice. The home and property are even more beautiful than in the pictures- spotlessly clean and with everything you need to have a wonderful stay! Martin county and Palm City are gorgeous, an arm’s length away from the beaches/ocean access, and right in the quiet backyard of bustling Palm Beach, with neighboring Fort Lauderdale and Miami not too far away either! Absolutely recommend, we will definitely be back when we have more time to spend! ##### Megan M. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff S. Feb 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely Perfect!! Gorgeous property great for dog owners. We planned on staying two weeks, and ended up staying a month. I work remotley, and the wrap around covered porch was great for my outdoor office. It was beautiful, quiet, and secluded. Just about every morning a cute little otter would swim by. Dan and Shannon were perfect hosts. Always there if we needed them, but not bothersome. Oh, did I mention GREAT for dog owners. Our dog Chesterfield is a feral rescue with anxiety. He did amazing! He loved going for walks around the property. Then lounging on the porch with the fans, or laying on the dock in the sun. Looking forward to a longer stay at the "Shack in the Back" next year. P.S. Jeff can't wait for the outdoor kitchen. Thanks again, Kellie, Jeff & Chesterfield ##### Jeff S. Stayed 15 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol D. Apr 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Glamping in Old Florida A perfect spot for retreat and rest in the spring. Wonderful comfortably furnished porch where you will spend most of your time catching breezes from the river, using the private porch shower to wash away your cares, and going inside for deep sleep in cushy bedding. The interior of the "shack" is well thought out and carefully carpentered to make good use of all the space. There is no interior living area so be prepared for outdoor porch living or outdoor activity. My adult son and I stayed here while a visiting family who was at home on hospice so the serenity of the surroundings was welcomed. Though it is very private, the host is available nearby as needed. On our trip the Vrbo listed host was away but had arranged a family member to be substitute, and she came to orient me when I had questions on arrival.. I took my dog (Australian shepherd) with me and, though the property is listed as fenced, the fence in the back is open at the dock that is over water, so I could not let my dog out back off-leash. Other than that the property was just as described. There are ladder steps to the loft area which my adult son was able to access to sleep on the very comfortable floor mattress. This property is ideal for a single person, a small group get away, or a couple's vacation with or without young children. The children would need to be safely managed near the unfenced area of the dock. Loved the Old Florida feel of the location and the shack. My only suggestion to the host is to put some bedside lamps in place that are good for reading as the industrial type lighting inside produces a glare that is not good for focused work. We enjoyed our stay and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. ##### Carol D. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven R.

The cabin is centrally located, close to everything. Owners were super friendly and accommodating. (And their fur babies were pretty awesome too!) ##### APRIL O. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa H. Mar 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome getaway! I was worried at first since we were last minute and knew we wouldn't be able to find much on the beach. This turned out even better. This place is super cute, "shabby chic" and has everything you might need-- you will especially love it if you are a little bit country! The best part is the outdoor living space, the whole back porch, patio and privacy! The neighborhood felt really safe and we went out jogging with no worries whatsoever. Shannon, the host, is really great and will address any concern or question you might have. We will stay here again the next time we visit Stuart/Palm City and will recommend this place to family and friends! ##### Lisa H. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn S.

Super private. Shannon was a wonderful hostess. ##### Glenn S. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alyson M.
