Perfect amount of space

This place was great, having 2 kitchens and 2 living areas was perfect for several families with kids. We couldn’t stay off the dock, the wildlife was so amazing. Kids walked to the beach, men fished off the boat dock, chilled in the pool when it got hot, and we kayaked with dolphins…there was something for everyone. Highly recommend!

Perfection! The decision to stay local so friends and family could meet up became possible when we found this listing. Everything we could have needed was just at our fingertips. The dock made it easy to add a daily boat rental to our excursion todo list. We hope to stay again soon.

Great family trip.

The property was amazing, far better than expected. My family took a relatively unplanned trip to Florida to escape the cold winter of Massachusetts. We were thrilled with the clean and spacious conditions we found in the massive home. The proximity to the beaches and local shops and restaurants was perfect. We were a group of 6 adults with one child, and there were rooms left over. Plenty of room for a larger group. I would highly recommend the property.

About the host

Hosted by Dolan Family, Property Manager

Host profile image

Dolan Family Vacation Rentals is a family run short term property management company. We are a family who has fallen in love with Hutchinson Island and cannot wait to share our family vacation house and recommendations for the area with you!

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location!

We purchased this property as our family getaway from the hustle and bustle of busy Broward and Palm Beach County. Cousins, siblings, parents, and grandparents of the Dolan family meet at this house to make lasting memories.

We LOVED this house from the moment we saw the first picture of this re-conceptualized mid-century modern home. It is perfect for a romantic getaway to a large family holiday get together. It is close to the beach, has the most breathtaking views and moments from all the action at the inlet or downtown!

Our favorite part of house is the dock. We often see dolphins and manatees swimming by while drinking our coffee on the dock. We highly recommend enjoying the sunset from this spot as it is a LIFE CHANGING view!

This beautiful luxury property is in a wonderful location, quiet, yet close to everything. We are so very excited for you to experience what our family has experienced at this property!

What makes this property unique

House is located on 174ft of deep water with enough room for 4 boats and room for a multiple cars and trailers in the driveway. You are welcome to bring your own boat or rent from local marinas.

There is a reef underneath the dock and allows for successful fishing right off the dock in your private, fenced in backyard. The area is known for sailfish.

Tree hammock awaits you swinging and listing to the waves crash against the 174ft raised recapped sea wall.
