Imagine waking up to the sound of palm fronds swaying in the ocean breeze, taking a morning stroll through a quiet, gated neighborhood, and knowing that the beach, parks, boutique shops, and great restaurants are just minutes away. That’s life at The Cottages at Hobe Sound — a cozy 81-home community in southern Martin County that offers the perfect blend of coastal living, friendly neighbors, and resort-style amenities.

A Close-Knit Coastal Community

Established in 2000, The Cottages at Hobe Sound was thoughtfully designed with just 81 single-family homes, making it one of the more intimate gated neighborhoods in the area. Each home reflects the durability and charm of CBS (Concrete Block Structure) construction, ensuring strength against Florida’s coastal weather while maintaining a timeless curb appeal.

With two- and three-bedroom layouts, open floor plans, covered lanais, and private backyard swimming pools in select homes, there’s a perfect fit for everyone — whether you’re downsizing, buying your first Florida home, or looking for a peaceful vacation retreat.

Resort-Style Amenities Without the Crowds

Life here means you can enjoy resort perks without living in a massive, overcrowded development. Amenities include:

• Tennis courts for friendly matches or morning exercise.

• A community swimming pool where neighbors gather for a refreshing dip.

• A cabana house — the perfect spot for hosting get-togethers, book clubs, or family celebrations.

The best part? With only 81 homes, you’ll never feel like you have to fight for a pool chair or court time.

Perfectly Positioned in Martin County

The Cottages at Hobe Sound sits in a sweet spot — close enough to daily conveniences yet tucked away from the noise. You’ll have quick access to US-1 and I-95, making trips to Jupiter, Stuart, or West Palm Beach a breeze. And for beach lovers, Hobe Sound Public Beach and the pristine shoreline of Jupiter Island are just a short drive away.
