We cannot say enough about the hosts. They were pleasant to deal with and quick to respond. The cottage was clean and is in good condition. The location however is in an area undergoing renewal. There are boarded up properties nearby. There is a lot of both vehicle and pedestrian traffic passing by. Personal safety became an issue to the point that we set the alarm at night. On the weekends extremely loud music, squealing tires, and police actions took place right on the street outside. Located on Avenue D, the lettered streets of Fort Pierce are known as a high crime area. A local merchant advised us not to be out at night. In the end, we were not victimized, but did not feel safe during our stay. We wish the cottage was in another location!
We enjoyed our stay in this cute, very clean house! Short drive to groceries, Navy Seal Museum, marinas, botanical garden and many fun resturaunts and tiki bars. Enjoyed coffee in the screened in porch. Everything we needed for a week visiting the area.
Totally unfamiliar with the neighborhood, I chose this location as it was close to the sports venue at which I was competing; a place to hang my hat while sleeping. What a hidden little treasure it turned out to be!!! Walking distance to quaint shops and restaurants with superb fare, and to beach, boats, rocky serene views, it was also comfortable, cared for, clean, and the bed afforded me good, restive comfort. It managed to turn my sports competition into a vacation.
