Charming , Cozy & Inviting!

"Our recent stay at this VRBO property was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything about this rental exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and the thoughtful gestures made our experience truly unforgettable. First and foremost, the communication with the host was exceptional. They were prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly, making us feel valued and well taken care of even before our arrival. Upon entering the property, we were blown away by its immaculate cleanliness. It was evident that the hosts put a great deal of effort into maintaining a pristine environment. The attention to cleanliness and hygiene provided us with peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our stay. Furthermore, the thoughtful touches and amenities provided by the host truly made us feel welcome. From the bottle of wine, water & cookies left for us to enjoy to the abundance of towels and toiletries available, we felt like every detail had been carefully considered. It's these small gestures that go above and beyond. The house itself was beautifully appointed with a comfortable and stylish interior. The furnishings and the decor created a warm and inviting atmosphere. We enjoyed the outside patio and grill area. Our Luna (dog) felt very comfortable and enjoyed the treats that were at the house as well. Very quite neighborhood. I would highly recommend this VRBO.

Family getaway

I gave the cleanliness a 4 star only because the AC was leaking upstairs and it made the carpet very wet and smelled. It was difficult to sleep at night due to the constant dripping of the AC. The owners were very responsive and tried to do what they could to temporarily fix it while we were there. We loved the place and will definitely go back again. The outside sitting area was absolutely beautiful.

This is just what I needed for Seclusion and Quiet, location of town is very central and close to most places on the FL east coast. The Place was wonderful, modest and comfortable. Kirt and Suzanne provided easy options for everything even if you wanted to do nothing at all. The outside shower was my highlight, BRAVO! I am definitely looking forward to being a repeat guest.

Kirt was such an amazing host. He has everything you'll need all ready for you when you get there. We arrived to find a nice bottle of wine and a little goody bag filled with some wonderful lotions and soaps. The decor was absolutely fabulous and had such a homey feel to it. Anytime that I had a question, Kirt responded to my emails within minutes. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Ft. Pierce. We definitely will be staying here again in the future.

It was a WOW factor!

Each of us said "Wow" as we entered the fenced yard/patio and then again as we entered the house. The description and photo are accurate, but everything looked even better in person. We were literally across the street from the state park entrance, which made getting to the beach a breeze. We have two kids, and one slept upstair with the trundle bed, and the other on the fold out sleeper sofa. It was perfect. The little touches the owners did made it a great stay.

Fort Pierce delight!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at Kirk and Susan’s townhouse. The floor plan was very functional, especially for two people. The pros outweigh the cons and we would definitely stay here again. The location is great, about 1/2 mile to the beach. The outdoor patio area is just as great as it looks in the photos. Although the weather wasn’t great at the beginning of our stay we used the area as much as possible. The hosts responded VERY quickly to any questions. Quite often, immediately. The cons are minor. Although not dirty, it could use a good “deep” cleaning. The non stick cook wear was very scratched. It was sad to see that previous renters did not take care of it. With that in mind, I would recommend stainless steel that wouldn’t be scratched by careless people. No room darkening shades. This didn’t bother me as I use an eye mask but my husband found it difficult to sleep after sunrise. None of these things would keep us from recommending or staying here again. It was delightful. 😎🌴

About the host

Hosted by Kirt Carlock

Host profile image
We enjoy spending time with our family and friends. Grilling outdoors, relaxing at the beach, fishing and watching football are some of our favorite things. We are also pet lovers, and enjoy fostering dogs in our free time.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a place to get away for the weekend and we found this perfect vacation spot. It's quiet, relaxing and always breezy and smelling like the ocean. North Hutchinson is the quieter island, while South Hutchinson is nearby with more activities and bars and restaurants. It's nice to relax outside in this beach town.

What makes this property unique

Hutchinson Island is a cozy little beach town. There are many things to do. Every Saturday from 8:00 to Noon, downtown Fort Pierce at the marina (2-miles away) has a farmers market, with 70 vendors offering food, art and live music. Have a drink at the Tiki Bar, feed the fish, or try a local craft beer at the Sailfish Brewing Co. in downtown Ft. Pierce.
