Where to stay
Six places to sleep, from a 1920s inn two blocks off the Riverwalk to a campsite under the pines. Five are fictional businesses written for this guide; the state park campground is real.
Stuart has the inn and the hotel, both walkable to dinner. Jensen Beach has the motel and the cottages, both a short walk to the sand. Hutchinson Island has the condos, with the ocean on one side and the river on the other. Hobe Sound has the campground, and the only stars you will see properly on this coast.
Nothing is booked through this site. Each page has the rates and a button that would take you to the business; here it goes nowhere.
