Welcoming and comfortable. Conveniently located within walking distance of historic Stuart. Our room was clean and quiet and the mornings on the front porch relaxing. The sunsets at the marina over the water were beautiful. Marylin was a great host. We didn't want to leave. Thank you!

ABSOLUTE BEST TIME! Was in town for a wedding nearby and this place made it feel like a true escape. Marilyn was charming, social, polite, even gave us a ride to the beach to help us tourists out! Could not recommend staying here enough. Will be returning 100000%. Great place to stay. Great atmosphere. The mascot, Leonard, was great too!!!

This B&B was the perfect place to stay for a much needed tranquil & romantic get-away for my husband and I. From the reservations to our check-out and all in between, everything was perfect. We truly felt at home. Marylin, the owner, went out of her way to ensure communication was always available. Everything was neat and clean. Our suite, The Periwinkle Room was just perfect with its white wicker furniture and a charming net canopy over the queen size bed. The home's decorations are picturesque and maybe it was because we had the house all to ourselves, but it was a truly wonderful experience through and through. Our walk from the B&B to town, down the boardwalk, alongside the water, was only about 15 minutes, and there was quite a bit of a selection of restaurants and quaint shops in this perfect sleepy town. If peace and romance is what you're desiring, we highly recommend staying at Inn at Shepard's Park bed & breakfast.

In town for a wedding and booked because the location was close to the venue. So happy we did, the rooms were comfy, Marilyn and her pooch Leonard were welcoming and everything about our weekend was delightful. Marilyn took time out of her day to help us plan our free time and we enjoyed each of her suggestions. Will return!

My husband and I Loved our stay at Shepard’s Park Inn. The owner, Marilyn has transformed her home into a quaint, cozy, and charming B&B. Marilyn provides 5 star hospitality, truly enjoys her guests. Great Breakfast each morning, open beverage bar, and beautiful sunsets. We are excited to plan our next getaway to the Shepard’s Park Inn.

Clean and cozy! Awesome location! I was concerned it would be noisy due to the closeness to US 1 and the train tracks but it was tucked away just enough that we had no problems with traffic noise. Delicious, hot and healthy breakfast both days, served at the reasonable hour of 9 AM. What a treat! Coffee, tea and water were available at all times and a small communal refrigerator to keep our personal beverages and snacks cold. Great friendly and available host who offered good entertainment and dining advice . Everything we wanted to see downtown was in easy walking distance, especially the Lyric Theater! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful bed and breakfast. Marilyn was an absolute delight. Some might feel the rooms are a little small. But my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay for our anniversary weekend. We will definitely be coming back
