About this condo rental
Nestled in Stuart, this lovely condo for $156 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Ideal for a romantic getaway for two, or a single person traveling for business or pleasure, buried in tropical foliage, the Loft on California is cozy 400 square-foot 2nd story walk up bird's nest atop of a meticulously restored 1926 bungalow style private home located in the Frazier's Addition garden district in historic downtown Stuart, Florida. The roofline apartment is packed with upgraded features including king size bed, large bathroom with sparkling custom artisan tiled shower stall, floor to ceiling stained glass windows, newly remodeled full kitchen with stone counter tops, wood floors, sitting area with large flat screen TV, cable and WiFi. The living area is nearly doubled by the secluded adjacent outdoor deck/lounge area surrounded by tropical foliage and overhead trellis. Unit access is via private exterior staircase to a programmable keypad entry door. You can program your own private code so there is no fussing with lost keys. If cooking in the spotless new fully equipped kitchen is not on your agenda, historic downtown Stuart, situated on the waterfront of the St. Lucie River, is a five minute walk to multiple restaurants and bars covering all budgets from waterfront fine dining and seafood, to casual Thai/sushi, sports bar and Italian food. Dress it up or dress it down with shorts and flip flops...anything goes in the relaxed and casual south Florida environment. The centerpiece of downtown Stuart is the historic Lyric Theater performing arts center offering great seasonal live music and theatrical performances. Downtown also offers great shopping for clothes, fine art, crafts, salons, yoga and massage therapy. Pristine beaches are a 10 minute drive or a 20 minute bike ride. Come visit us, history loves company!

Stayed for nearly 2 weeks to get the feel of Stuart . Location was perfect - walk to everything : downtown shops, bars and restaurants. The space was as advertised - attic apartment, very well appointed, clean as a whistle, very comfortable. Bruce, the owner, was great - saw him several times out and about as well as at the house - very amenable, informed and friendly. Highly recommend!

Close to restaurants, this spot was convenient for our firefighter world competition. Being the finished top portion of a house it required both window air conditioners and a fan going most of the time, so noise was an issue. Also very close to railway tracks so train whistles going throughout the night.

We were visiting nearby family so that was great. This loft apartment was awesome! Described completely accurately by the listing. Artistic touches were beautiful! This is the MOST clean rental/place ever!!! which was so nice & greatly appreciated. Located near town & in a quiet area. The owner was super quick to respond even though out of town. We would love to stay here again & highly recommend it!

Loved this place. Super good location and such a funky place to stay. Loved the colors, stained glass windows, and layout. Had everything we needed for our stay. Lots of nearby restaurants, shopping, and walking opportunities. Saw an abundance of wildlife from leatherback turtles to manatees. Farmers' market on Sunday was fun as well. Host was helpful but not imposing. Want to come back again!

This was our first time visiting this area. Being just the two of us and the fact our needs are simple Bruce’s apartment checked every box.
Our first impression was the cleanliness which was spotless. Regarding the appearance, it is a small space. We only stayed 6 nights however since we brought our own vehicle and our next stop was a week in Key West we had 2 weeks worth of clothes. We had no problem stashing it all away and making ourselves at home.
On the subject of Key West. The house and neighborhood could easily fit in Old Town Key West. Combined with the walking vicinity to downtown Stuart make this a very attractive town.
Bruce is terrific to work with, hospitable and unobtrusive. He and his wife live on property so are there for any issues or to shoot the breeze.
We hope to start making more regular visits to this charming property and area.

While small, this property is ingeniously laid out! Every detail is covered--nothing is forgotten. Clean and well maintained. Bruce and Kim are very responsive to any request. Location is the absolute BEST of the best for being within easy walking distance to downtown Stuart. 10 minute drive to the beach--what more could you ask for? Highly recommend this cute little place. Hope to return.

Super Cute
This small apartment has everything you need to live like home! Every inch is used in the most efficient way. The porch is a great place for morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset, quiet and secluded. Hosts are friendly and relaxed, his recommendations for restaurants were spot on. Would love stay there again.

Stayed four nights and truly enjoyed our stay. Bruce and Kim are great hosts. The apartment is small but worked out just great for us. Nice deck and you have to make sure and walk their garden.

Easy access to main roads and attractions in Stuart. We have 4 generations that have lived in Stuart over the years and I never realized how adorable California Ave and the neighborhood were. Wish I could find a place of my own in the neighborhood.

I’m a south Floridian native who returns often to visit family & friends, I’ve stayed at Bruce & Kim’s properties multiple times (both upstairs & down), and I wouldn’t ever consider staying anywhere else. They are the kindest, most responsive owners I have encountered during extensive stays at various locations, & my family of 3 travels frequently. Their space is consistently immaculate & welcoming! Kim is a master gardener & artist who keeps the property looking gorgeous during every season; it is literally a tropical paradise. Bruce can tell you anything you’d like to know about boating or the best hideaways to check out around the area & beyond. Everything you need is provided for aa awesome getaway. The property itself is located ideally in downtown Stuart & has amazing restaurants, waterway views, & even awesome playgrounds to offer, all within walking distance. Stay with them & thank me later; you’ll be glad you did!!

Moved away six years ago and this spot was great to reminisce our home town. Beautiful gardens and a historic home couldn’t have been a better setting. Easy walking to great restaurants, shops and live music.

Location & rental experience was very good! Because it’s a roofline apartment, the ceilings are low...
