Seriously? It Costs How Much Per Night?

I walked around downtown Stuart, Florida yesterday afternoon and wound up at Colorado Avenue Park, along the St. Lucie River, right next to what is called the Owl House, as seen in the photograph above. It was built in 1904 and got its name from its four-pointed gable roof that resembles the head of an owl. I have passed by this house many times, but never bothered to check out the place on the internet until now. And I was surprised to learn it was owned by the Old Colorado Inn, a 1920's era pastel-colored hotel. This house is right on the St. Lucie River, has 5 bedrooms, and sleeps 14 people, and the Old Colorado Inn runs it as a "retreat." Evidently, they only rent out the whole house, and to rent it for one night in July - the middle of summer in Florida, no less - costs $599 ($856 with fees, plus tax). Granted, the cost if you got 14 people together to stay there would be about $60 each, but how do you fit 14 people comfortably into 5 bedrooms? I think your money would go much further staying at a seaside luxury Motel 6 Resort Hotel and Spa. Of which there are many. That is what I would do, as a confirmed cheapskate. Let's face it - in your hearts, you know I am right. With apologies to Barry Goldwater.
