This was the second time we rented this house with family from out of town and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Great amenities everything you need is there. We look forward to staying there again in the future!
WonderfulHome! Definitely he beat property we have stayed at. So many fun details and things to keep you looking and enjoying. Highly recommend it. Relaxing great for families or just a quiet retreat. Close to beach and other things
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.
The place was so welcoming and beautiful!! This was the best place we have ever stayed in. It was enchanting and magical, and you could thoroughly relax here. Everything was so thoughtfully and artfully decorated. We had everything we needed. It was amazing!! Highly recommend!!
We loved this property! So clean and the attention to detail was off the charts. The house is so interesting and mesmerizing. :) The back yard is perfect and private.

This is a quaint and quirky cottage that we loved staying in. Dennis is a super host and then some. He communicated with us about the property and provided everything we could need including treats, snacks, coffee, and tea. The cottage is in excellent condition and very clean. There are amenities galore! You can feel confident booking this fun property for your stay.
The cottage and owners were more than anyone could expect spent. We had everything we needed to spend the time there from toiletries to laundry supplies to spices and all the extras. Owners check in periodically to see that everythineas fine.
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!
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!
After a lot of back and forth on VRBO I decided to give this listing a try. I am so glad that I did. Read the reviews, pictures can only give you a partial perspective. This house has been meticulously renovated. What an excellent restore. The house is super clean, the backyard was spacious with lots to do. The backyard was not buggy like you might assume. The Hosts were great, they went out of their way to decorate the house for Christmas which saved us a lot of work. The kids loved the house. They had lots of fun with the scavenger hunt. The location is on a quiet block in a relatively quiet neighborhood. I am no stranger to Jensen Beach and would recommend this location to anyone. It's in a very convenient area. Down the block you have the park to play tennis or beachball. Sewall's Point, Stuart, Downtown Jensen Beach all just a few minutes drive. I would definitely stay again. Thank You.

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 hosts at “Pennies From Heaven” are 5 star all the way! Clean gracious and helpful from start to finish. The area is fun and accessible. I highly recommend this rental.
The cottage alone has weeks of exploration—with hidden treasures around every corner and thoughtful amenities. Cottage was spotless. Host was responsive to all questions and provided detailed guidance about the many opportunities for fun in and around Rio. Best VRBO experience I have had!
What an amazing property! The owners generously provide everything you could possibly need for cooking, the beach, or just hanging at the house! There is so much to see and do…we can’t wait to come back! They even left us a nice treat basket with goodies to snack on! We will be returning to this property for sure!
We loved this cottage! It’s not in the typical ‘tourist zone’. But is conveniently located for beaches, restaurants and lots of activities. It is well stocked with lovely back yard and full kitchen. The house is filled with unique features that you have to see appreciate. It was comfortable, a spacious layout- truly a hidden gem!
Pennies from heaven was perfect for our stay . Everything was there that we needed, including a scavenger hunt that entertained us all ! Location was close to the beach and town . Sidewalks to take our morning jog. Loved the coziness of the cottage the living room had plenty of books to choose from, along with blanket throws for all of us .
The beautiful outside oasis was perfect spot for our cousins reunion. We will definitely be returning on our next visit .
Me and my wife returned for a second time to the Cottage. We had such a wonderful experience the first time we couldn't wait to get back. The amazing thing about the second time is it was just as good. The hosts really know how to make you feel at home and go the extra mile on everything. Highly recommended we will be back next year.

We spent two weeks in this cottage and me and my wife were just amazed at the interior of this cottage.The pictures in the listing do not do justice .The work and craftmenship is right out of a magazine.The backyard also will not disappoint with its beauty and things to do.The hosts went the extra mile in supplying everything you need.Needless to say we hope to be back again.
Denis and Patty
Amazing, amazing, amazing!! Beautifully rehabbed, well appointed, fully stocked, FUN property. Host provided books, movies, 6 beach towels, 6 beach chairs, 2 bicycles, ping pong, corn hole, board games, house scavenger hunts, etc. Communication with host is exceptional. Stuart beach and Jensen beach are around a 20min drive - nice clean public beaches with restrooms. Stuart beach has a cafe also. Neighborhood super quiet. Our family LOVED this home away from home.
I can't say enough positive things about this rental! EVERYTHING was perfect!! Communication with the owners was quick, fast and easy. As soon as we walked into the house it was amazing with so much character and it felt like home away from home. The notes they left for us along with the goodie basket in the fridge, made it very warm and welcoming!
I give this rental the highest recommendation possible! :)
