About this property

Aquarius South: Luxe 10BR/6BA , w/ heated swimming pool+spa, private dock & more

HAVE IT ALL — Live/Work/Play/Relax at your very own private luxury waterfront beach house. Get far away from the crowds … and get closer to those who matter the most. Less than an hour away from Palm Beach International Airport, arrive at your own 5-star beach palace on a remote barrier island on the FL Treasure Coast, located in "America's Happiest Seaside City" (Coastal Living Magazine national award winner; see more below). Your own beach house is a tranquil oasis, safely isolated worlds away from the troubles of the day. Need to connect online? Enjoy a rare luxury among vacation rentals: Gigabit-speed commercial-grade secure Wi-Fi internet so fast, you can stream 4K movies at night. And the signal is so powerful, you can work from outside, while on the waterfront or at the end of the dock. (Perfect for the kids' homework/homeschooling, too.)

SPOTLESSLY CLEAN — We meet & exceed all safety measures & best practices specified by the CDC, FL Dept. of Health, and FL Dept. of Business & Professional Regulation. We utilize hospital-grade cleaning & disinfectant standards, and stock your home with cleaning supplies, alcohol, wipes, hand sanitizer & more. (During the initial pandemic shutdowns in Spring 2020, our spotlessly-clean homes passed muster with "front line" teams at hospitals & medical departments, who leased multiple beach houses to host entire hospital nursing units and doctor families for extended stays during those first scary months (when the mode of transmission was not yet clear).

SAFE — This home is managed by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in Florida waterfront vacation rentals.

SAVE — with the owner's many discount plans: FL resident, senior, first responder, military, education, medical, civil service, volunteer & more.

ABOUT THE HOME:

Brand New in 2023! The newest Beach House in Paradise is the 10BR/6BA mammoth sister property to our top-rated "Aquarius" beach house next door (now re-named "Aquarius North"). This brand new home is named "Aquarius South", and features 10 luxuriously-appointed bedrooms, 6 baths, heated swimming pool + spa, private dock, putting green, riverfront recreation area and private access to the Atlantic Ocean (located right across the street!) And if this massive home isn't big enough for your group, consider "Aquarius Resort", where you can rent both "Aquarius" homes together (17BR/11BA) in a single reservation. (See VRBO listing ID# 3137824 )

As an astrological sign, Aquarius is the bearer of water, the giver and sustainer of life. And so it is with this water-rich beach house! Let "Aquarius South" infuse your life—and those of your family or group—with its countless water pleasures, including riverfront heated swimming pool and spa, private boat dock, floating jet ski dock/walkway, direct beach access, complementary water toys, fishing gear, snorkel , bicycles, putting green, Tesla chargers, and more.

Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need for your Florida beach-house vacation … We provide the rest. Travel light—and live large—with the fully-stocked, 5-Star-amenity properties of Beach Houses in Paradise. (At BHIP, our motto is "We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")

With 10 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, Aquarius South is one of several luxury five-star properties operated by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in offering 5-star luxury, amenities and service in sunny waterfront settings.

REVIEWS: Read our reviews, and see how families and groups like your own are enjoying five-star experiences IN THEIR OWN HOUSE, at a fraction of the price of a beachfront hotel or resort! For more than 1,000 additional five-star reviews of BHIP homes in the same neighborhood, type "VRBO Beach houses in Paradise" into your favorite internet search service and read all of our five-star VRBO reviews for BHIP beach houses just like this one.

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities and accommodations at an affordable price (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget!) Note: This home is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.

Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, and there's even room to park your trailer. RV? room for that too!



ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED:

From bicycles to beach blankets, towels to toilet paper, paddleboards to picnic baskets, and all points between. Did you know that fewer than 25% of the FL listings on VRBO include high chairs for little ones? And less than half of listings include an iron/ironing board? (Experiment with the VRBO "More Filters" search feature and see for yourself) Many vacation rentals don't even provide you a full supply of toilet paper (!) or such basics as towels, bed linens, toiletries, paper goods or even cooking essentials like salt, pepper, spices, oils & other basic staples.

And can you imagine arriving at your vacation rental, only to discover that there are no coolers, ice, beach chairs, beach towels, beach blankets, umbrellas and beach toys like sand pails, bikes, cornhole, volleyball, kayaks, & horseshoes? Why waste the first day of your precious vacation—& more money—shopping at the local Wal-Mart? Instead, book a Beach House in Paradise and begin relaxing the ~moment~ you arrive. (We even pre-heat hot tubs & pools & put out the bathrobes & towels so your relaxing vacation can start the moment you arrive.)

No hidden fees: Other vacation-rental companies nickel & dime you with surcharges such as pool-heating fees, Wi-Fi surcharges, fees for using shampoos & soaps, rental fees for kayaks, bikes & paddleboards, even a fee if you don't empty the refrigerator at the end of your stay(!) At BHIP, there are no hidden surcharges, fines or penalties.

Plus: Enjoy our complimentary water toys & recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing & snorkel gear & more. Jet skis & boats available, too!



VIDEOS, 3D TOURS, FLOOR PLANS & MORE: Want a closer look at the beach house? Just ask! We have videos, architectural floor plans, Immersive 3D Tours, and more. (Note: All communications must take place on the VRBO platform; this home is available only via VRBO)



PERFECT LOCATION:

Not only is the home situated in the most biodiverse marine environment in North America (source: Florida Oceanographic Institute), it's also located in Stuart FL, 2024 winner of the USA Today "Best Coastal Small Towns in America" rankings. (And #1 winner of the "Happiest Seaside Town in USA" award by Coastal Living Magazine!) Locals of a certain age—that remember TV's "The Andy Griffith Show"—proudly call Stuart the "Mayberry of Florida".

EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS:

Planning a modest event or small gathering at the home? Or is your rental in association with an event held at a nearby venue? We'd love to help! Event-related reservations are approved on a case-by-case basis. Please note that due to the pristine, delicate barrier-island environment, special restrictions may apply (COVID-19 restrictions may also apply).

Important: Please inquire about your event BEFORE booking (to avoid paying cancellation fee).



MORE THAN 15 ADULTS? Aquarius South might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.



Nervous about alligators? Don't be! They don't exist in this part of Florida. (Gators can't survive near the beach in saltwater environments; they live only inland, where there is fresh water.)



About sand fleas & mosquitos: These outdoor pests sometimes visit "Wild" coastal Florida, too! Recently, the homeowner installed a property-wide MistAway misting system that provides relief from stinging pests on the property and poolside (push-button mist-on-demand controls).



A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT: Aquarius South sits in the middle of the "Treasure Coast". To this very day, gold doubloons, pieces of eight & other Spanish treasure still wash up along Hutchinson Island, after big storms. (Complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors and instructions are provided.)



HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE AREA

The river is considered among the most biologically rich & environmentally sensitive estuary in North America. Our owners avidly support local environmental groups, contributing millions in recent decades.

Help preserve our area:

* Don't approach dolphins, sea turtles & manatees (often seen near the end of the dock). These are protected species. The offshore marine patrol prosecutes aggressively.

* Please clean up after a successful day fishing. Discard all hooks, line & litter.

Wonderful family vacation
We had another great stay on the island. This is our third year renting from BHiP, and this was our favorite house yet. The beach area is amazing for kids, with all the water toys you could want. The house has a nice layout for large families. We would definitely rent again.

Beach house with everything!
Our family has been taking a winter vacation for years to Florida. We typically stay on the gulf side but this year we choose this home because of all it had to offer. Typically you have to pay extra for kayaks, bikes, buy all the supplies needed such and toiletries and other basic needs that this home came stocked with. The best part was not having to pay extra for the pool heat and then having it still not be warm. This pool was perfect and the hot tub was alway hot! My dad, husband and kids could spend the whole day fishing off the dock. They caught so many awesome fish and once they figured out they bite best when fishing with the frozen shrimp bought from the store close to the house it was all they wanted to do! The room were all great there was 8 of us so more rooms than we needed. Everything was GREAT!!!

Outstanding
Great house to rent for big family. Very good company to do business with, good communication and if there was an issue (we had one small issue), they jumped right on it. I would recommend this company, the house and would rent from them again.

About the host

Hosted by Al Roberts, Property Manager at Beach Houses in Paradise

Host profile image
I'm a semi-retired Dad in his early 50s with a finance & IT background. I spent the most productive 25 years of my life confined indoors staring at a computer screen while living in beautiful Miami. (As I'm originally from cold & windy Chicago, palm trees, sand, dolphins/manatees/sea turtles ... and water this beautiful ... it all seemed so exotic to me, these beach houses seemed mythical, a dream almost, not real...)

Now that I'm semi-retired, I enjoy "putting butts in beach houses" . . . helping vacationers, families and groups find—and enjoy—the amazing "Treasure Coast" area of Southeast Florida, and the incredible towns of Stuart, Jensen Beach and Ft. Pierce. Sharing the dream!

Why they chose this property

The property is located a few minutes east of city of Stuart, in Martin County, Florida.

What is Stuart like? Are you old enough to remember TV's "Andy Griffith" show? Locals call Stuart the "Mayberry of Florida".

Plus:
Our homes are located within a one-hour drive of the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale/West Palm Beach metropolitan area and within a 2-hour drive of Orlando, Disney World and other popular attractions and destinations. And the local private airport—Witham Field in Martin County—offers a U.S. Customs facility and is just a few miles away, with long runways that accommodate both private prop aircraft and jet aircraft. So you can drive in, fly in, or even boat in!

Gorgeous location. The perfect seaside town. Pristine waters and wildlife. ON the Atlantic beach. Close to the best of Florida (From Orlando and the theme parks, to Miami & Palm Beach, in less than two hours). And convenient to international airports. (Palm Beach International less than one hour away).
