The time spent at Shadey Acres was really nice. The house was beautiful, spacious and very clean and accommodated all twelve of us very comfortably. We had a group with age ranges from 62 to 15 mos. and there was something for everyone, pool, spa, games (indoor and outside), walking, biking, meals outside in the covered and screened lanai and pool area and the home is really close to the ocean beaches. As a matter of fact some of us biked to the beach (about 12 miles). Roger Dean Stadium is only a couple of minutes away and there are some nice golf courses right nearby. In fact, everything is very accessible, the house is just a mile of the main road, (Indiantown Rd) and only a couple of miles from I95 and the Florida turnpike, so you can get to most places in really good time. Really great shops and malls are only minutes away, but the house is located in a totally private large yard in a neighborhood great for biking and walking.
There was plenty of everything inside the home, the beds were plush, the fluffy towels and bed linens were really high end, even beach towels. The beds were super comfortable. Lots of extra blankets and pillows. Even with a large group, we all slept comfortably and had privacy. The kitchen was well stocked - kitchen utensils, pots pans, baking pans, slow cookers (2-one big enough for a turkey), and all the small appliances we are used to at home. Lots of colorful dishes, high end flatware and plenty of glass ware, even plastic to use pool side. There is even spices and oils, and complimentary coffee, tea, sugar, cream … the works. The kitchen, as with the rest of the residence, was carefully thought out. The game room has lots of indoor games for a day at home, along with a bumper pool table which was fun. Several of the TV's included extra cables (including HDMI) for our X-Box usage, we really liked that! The trunk in the game room has tons of outdoor games (even real horseshoes and bocce ball) and basket, football and soccer balls. The basketball net outside got a lot of use! The huge front yard was perfect for football or soccer.

The pool was heated and the spa amazing. The landscaping is beautiful around the pool and the yard and paddocks are natural. (By the way there is a big barn on the property, we didn’t bring horses but it was great to store our bikes!) We enjoyed breakfast on the patio, early morning swims, and relaxing in the hot tub at night. The pool deck has a trunk of pool toys, the kids loved that. Shadey Acres even supplies beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler for the beach in pool shed. It has little details like an outside shower and even a retractable clothes line and lots of hooks to hang up the wet stuff! Of course there is a full laundry room with washer, dryer and folding table.

We really enjoyed the special touches – snack basket on arrival, games, beach towels and wonderful smelling hair shampoo. There was even a little basket in the kitchen with items you may have forgotten.

There is a welcome book that includes lots of great information about the house and the surrounding shopping areas, restaurants and area attractions. Everything in the house was clearly marked, including light switches, kitchen items and TV remotes so everything was easy to find and very simple to use. They even have phone numbers for pizza and Chinese delivery posted on the refrigerator!

For a fun Florida vacation we highly recommend Jupiter and Shadey Acres.
