If you’re looking for a slice of unspoiled Florida, consider making a trip to Hobe Sound. This small Floridian town sits close to some of the state’s most protected and preserved areas. Seabranch Preserve State Park in Stuart is only 6 mi (9.66 km) from the center of Hobe Sound, and it’s a beautiful spot to watch bald eagles fly overhead. Another sprawling preserve, Jonathan Dickinson State Park, is located right in town. Here, you can go kayaking on the Loxahatchee River or join a guided tour either by walking or on horseback! And that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

2. Hobe Sound Hideaway (from USD 218)
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the middle of a residential neighborhood, Hobe Sound Hideaway is quite a majestic escape. From here, you’ll only be seven minutes away from the beach. Out in the back, there’s also a screened-in patio complete with a refreshing swimming pool and relaxing hot tub.
But don’t be fooled by this serene ambiance as this Airbnb vacation rental is also designed for play. Several yard games are available on the property. And when it’s time for a relaxing beach day, feel free to take the towels, umbrellas, chairs, and coolers with you.

3. Tropical-style cottage (from USD 195)
This Airbnb rental is reminiscent of Florida’s old-town charm, surrounded by lush tropical greenery. And though it looks vintage, it’s packed with modern amenities. That includes a mini split-type air conditioner to keep the humidity at bay.
The property also features an all-new bathroom and wooden flooring in some areas. But the main star of the show is the heated pool sitting right next to the cottage. Both the Indian River and the beach are nearby, and you can use the two bikes to explore the area.

4. Contemporary rental near golf courses (from USD 181)
Vacationers don’t often get to stay on fairly new rentals, so this Airbnb is quite the catch. It was built in 2021 which means the entire home is still relatively fresh and new. As soon as you step inside, you’ll be greeted by a bright, open-concept living and dining space. Whip up delicious meals in the kitchen, too. In the backyard, you’ll find a hot tub waiting, as well as a grill and an outdoor dining set.
This rental is also close to some golf courses.

The best place to be while you’re here is by the poolside, under the fuchsia-pink beach umbrella, or lazing around on the tropically patterned hammock. As for practicalities, the property has its own driveway with a dedicated parking spot for your car.
This rental also welcomes dogs.

Storage is available in all rooms, while the kitchen is fully fitted. Set the mood by connecting your device to the Marshall Bluetooth speaker.
From the rental, you can walk to the beach via a banyan canopy tunnel. The estimated distance from the beach to the property is about 1 mi (1.61 km).

10. Comfortable guest house (from USD 295)
For a beach getaway, this is one of the best places to hunker down. While the host markets it as a guest house, it’s a full-sized home with all the works, including parking and a fenced swimming pool.
In the living room, the bright red loveseat transforms into an additional bed should the need arises. In the kitchen, all the usuals are present and then some. Moreover, hidden behind one of the counters is a washer and dryer in case you need to do some washing.
