Great property, filled with so much character. The location is excellent and the house itself is very well maintained, well stocked with all the necessities and has plenty of room for several people. The backyard is great for relaxing and for kids to play. The hosts showed amazing hospitality with great instructions and even provided some much-appreciated sweet treats. I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The house is charming, well laid out and comfortable. Also very clean. Back yard is a fjj funland for kids of all ages. Neighborhood is quiet, close to ocean and good restaurants. Hosts were very welcoming and responsive to questions. Many natural areas to hike, bike, or kayak within 30 minutes. Grocery store is close as is a YMCA. One of our best ever experiences and we plan to return next year.

If we could give this cottage higher than 5 Stars, we would. It is the most unique place we have ever stayed at. It is finished in Cape Cod fashion with great attention to detail. The backyard has a gazebo, horseshoes, ping pong table, lots of seating and an incredible pirate ship with slide, swings and play area inside the ship and on the deck. Great for kids ready for a pirate adventure! Inside the spacious cottage, you will find it well stocked and equipped with all the conveniences of home. It’s extremely clean with comfortable beds, sofas and chairs. Our host even provided a gift basket from local shops! We highly recommend Pennies From Heaven and will return for another stay.

Perfection

Everyone in our group loved EVERYTHING about "Pennies from Heaven"! Cleanest VRBO I've ever reserved, by far. Lots of fun, too, with all the scavenger hunt clues. The kitchen had everything we could possibly want, the hosts left us delicious snack foods, all their restaurant recommendations (and the fruit stand) were big hits. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again!

Thank you Dennis and Barbara for sharing this house with us. It's the most homey, fun, comfy house we have ever rented on vacation. This house is intentionally designed to encourage family fun. As my son said, "It's the best hide and seek house ever!"We ended up staying "home" more than anticipated and yet were not bored for a second (and we never turned the TV on)!The listing photos don't do it justice. It's very well built and decorated with antiques. The AC was great, the water pressure and temps perfect as well. You could probably walk in with a few changes of clothes and a bathing suit and they have anticipated every little need you could have forgotten. The one thing we'd share is that the king bedroom has a vent directly into the kitchen, so it's not a great room for sleeping in or heading to bed early. A sound machine or two could be helpful to bring now that I'm thinking about it! We purchased a fan so we could sit outside as Florida, quite naturally, has mosquitos. The fan kept them at bay when the tiki bug candles didn't cut it (provided).

Barbara and Dennis have created such a wonderful experience at the Pennies from Heaven cottage. They are thoughtful and meticulous with our comfort and entertainment in mind. All daily supplies are fully stocked and they even welcome you with home-baked pastries (which are delicious)! For these reasons and many more, my family and I have booked this Vrbo for 3 years in a row to celebrate Thanksgiving. We hope for many more and we’ll be lucky if it’s available!

Cozy cottage perfect for the family

We were awed with the care for detail that went into this property from the moment we entered the front door. The hosts have thought of everything and made it personal with little notes to help us settle in. The property was clean and very well maintained. The outdoor space was extra great. We brought two young children with us and they played happily for hours on the pirate ship and sand pit. The house is small, but laid out in a way that provided plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 2 kids. We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking to stay in the area. It is conveniently located and you can see the water at the end of the street!

Surpassed Our Expectations

If I could rate it as 6 Stars, I would. We had an event to attend near Jupiter over the Memorial Day weekend. This place seemed to check all the boxes, as far as location, number of rooms, etc. It looked cute in the photos and was reasonably priced. When we arrived, we were floored. This home has a history and personality like none other. It charmed us from the first moment and only got better and better. The owners truly thought of everything! The inside of the home is incredibly well decorated and laid out for maximum use of everything. The outside - well that was truly a gem. I don't want to give away all the charms of this magnificent - come see it for yourself. You will not be disappointed - in fact, you'll be the family hero for finding such an amazing place!
