Ok spot - needs updating
This house is in a good location. It is very outdated on the inside. There are a lot of rules surrounding check out, e.g. the host insisted paper towels and toilet paper are replaced. They also asked for a picture of my id sent to their personal cell phone. Overall it is too expensive for the quality of the rental and the hassle of checkin and check out.

Beautiful location, Beautiful home
We stayed at "The Osceola" house for 3 weeks. It was convenient to our purpose there (Cleveland Clinic Docs) and was the best base camp for exploring the area. We had a couple of friends and family visit who also loved the house and the area. The property and yard are beautiful, the neighborhood and private park are gorgeous and the owner is a great communicator. VERY NICE VRBO! Hope to return someday!

Family gathering
This home mostly worked out very well for us with our 3 adult children and a dog. We enjoyed walking around the lovely neighborhood - to the waterfront on two sides just a few blocks away. The open spaces of the living room, office and kitchen are generous and comfortable. We were dismayed to learn foldout mattress must be blown up. We didn’t see any directions for this which is odd considering all of the other helpful messages provided by the homeowner.

Many Problems
The house was great, but a lot of traffic noise, no toilet paper, septic alarm going off because of 1950's toilet, 1950's windows that we were instructed not to open, creepy laundry room, screen on dryer full. We were accused of smoking in the house and purposely plugging the toilet on our first days there. Not true.But I was charged.

Mixed feelings about this home
Just spent three weeks here so I am very familiar with this home. I Home is very roomy and will accommodate 4-5 people easily Nicely decorated with comfortable furnishings Bedrooms are very large with big walk in closets and comfortable mattresses. Flooring is great. Kitchen is roomy with most things you need. Location is good about 8-10 minutes from Stuart beach. Walk downtown in 18 minutes. Area seemed very safe. Backyard is lacking with disgusting mildewed and filthy umbrella and cheap rusted out grill. Both items should be thrown out. and replaced. Bathrooms are tiny as advertised with difficult water pressure and temperature adjustment. Enamel in bathtubs is worn off and unsightly. Four beach chairs provided two old and rusted. Styrofoam $2.00 cooler provided. Policy regarding replacing everything like toilet paper is just very cheap on owners part. We were given two rolls of toilet paper and no laundry soap. It would cost them $10-$15 with a trip to Dollar general to make sure everything is there. With a little extra detail and attention this could be a much nicer property. It just felt a little tired and I think the owners could do a little more for there guests.
