DISCOUNTS are available to most renters! (see details below). Pay less than $100/night per bedroom.

HAVE IT ALL — Live, work, play, and unwind at your own private ocean-to-river beach house. Step away from the crowds and step into a world where luxury meets seclusion—just you, the sand, the sea, and the people who matter most.

Located less than an hour from Palm Beach International Airport, this 5-star-rated oceanfront retreat sits in Stuart FL: USA Today’s #1 Coastal Small Town in America (2024). It’s also proudly named America’s Happiest Seaside Town by Coastal Living Magazine.

This is more than a vacation — it's your personal sanctuary in the heart of the perfect beach town. Relax in total privacy while staying just minutes from vibrant restaurants, boutique shopping, and exciting attractions.

Need to stay connected? Unlike most rentals, this beach house is equipped with blazing-fast, gigabit-speed, commercial-grade Wi-Fi—secure and strong enough for 4K movie nights, Zoom calls from the sand, or homework on the dock.

All inclusive, stocked to the nines, and FREE: At BHIP, "We stock heavy, so you can travel light". Beach umbrellas & canopies, beach chairs, bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, coolers, games, toys, towels, linens, laundry pods, paper goods, cooking gear / staples / spices, baby & toddler gear, and so much more. It's all there, and it's all free (no surcharges or rental fees).

Property Manager Al Roberts (thousands of 5-star reviews) lives in the neighborhood, and is always just a text or phone call away. Al & his team: Always available, but never intrusive.

ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED:

(Experiment with the VRBO "More Filters" search feature and see for yourself)

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!




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 12 ADULTS? Heaven Can't Wait 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.)



A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT:

The home 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.

Family vacation

We had our family of 11 stay with room to spare. There are some changes to the house from what the pictures are on line, not bad just not what the property is. We did a lot of fishing out front and back. There is a lot of coral out from t to get snagged on and we needed more information about what to fish for off the dock. The property management company was excellent to work with. We had plenty of activities to do inside and at the beach. We used it all and if we needed something, the response was quick. We had a wonderful week, would definitely come again!

This is our 2nd time at the home and 3rd time booking with Al and BHIP. When they say they have everything you need they are not exaggerating. We particularly love this property because it has the river on one side and the ocean on the other so it’s perfect for fishing and sunbathing. The management team is #1 and will make sure you have whatever you need for an awesome vacation

This is the perfect place for a family vacation. Clean and stocked with everything you may need

Great house - clean - fully stocked, The photo of the oceanfront is deceiving - it looks like seaweed in the pictures and not the coral rocks that are actually there, no actual beach unless you walk down the beach a bit. The steps to get into the pool needs repair immediately. It is not easy get up and down the steps - it pulls up out of the ground. Overall - we loved "heaven can't wait"

Family Get Away

Our father passed away last Feb and because of his long illness, our mom was not able to travel or vacation for many years. Her health and mobility are not great, but she really wanted to see the ocean and put her feet in the sand again. This house made those things happen. We 5 siblings and mom enjoyed a quiet week away from our regular lives to reconnect and build new happy memories. The listing was accurate, working with the property manager was enjoyable, check in and out process was easy. We enjoyed as many of the amenities that we could…. We needed more time to get it all in! We are already booked to come back with our spouses and kids and mom next summer! Thank you!

Happiness!

Reviewing this property is both complicated and easy! It’s complicated because I don’t want to leave anything out, but it’s also easy because everything about this property was amazing! We started our day with the sunrise over the ocean, and paddle boarded and kayaked into the sunset over the river every night. The amenities are well thought out…from the gift baskets, to little gifts in each room, plus toiletries if you need. The kitchen has seasonings and condiments for meals, coffee and tea choices galore, more than enough paper and plastic goods. There are towels, and blankets to accommodate an army. I can’t forget the ice machines - a major plus!! The property manager goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. I am so glad I booked this property because the memories will last a lifetime. We spent our days between the ocean, pool and river. We spent our evenings cooking, playing games, and enjoying the hot tub. Every family member loved this property and enjoyed everything it had to offer! This is truely a great house!

Stay here! You'll LOVE it

Our trip was over Spring Break - last week of March - 2 families - 6 teenagers and 4 adults. First - we LOVED Stuart Florida and Hutchinson Island. Peaceful, beachy...not tons to do but that's what we wanted out of this beach vacay. There are good restuarants, golf, and a grocery store all within 2 miles...plus the downtown Stuart area is classic beachy cool. The house was amazing -- our communication with the property manager was the best I've had in any VRBO. The house was super clean and stocked with things we didn't even think we needed! Plenty of toys, towels, hygiene items - also the kitchen had everything we needed (except a bottle opener-haha). This was really the best prepped VRBO we've ever been in. The backyard is the beach - literally steps to an almost private Atlantic side beach with great waves, good sand, very little seaweed and no jellyfish for us! The front of the house has a pier where we fished everyday - the kids took out the provided paddleboards and kayaks - and we had little bonfires at night! The bedroom spaces were perfect for all the kids and us - -- especially the downstairs "apartment". The house is NOT super huge, but big enough to accomodate our group. It's quirky - which we loved. Can' t say enough good things about this management group -- they really "get it" and strive to make everything as easy as possible. We'd love to stay there 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 & water this beautiful seemed so exotic to me, these beach houses were mythical, a dream almost, not real...)

Now I'm in semi-retirement, and keeping busy helping vacationers 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".

And there's more: Our ocean-to-river beach houses are like almost none other in the entire United States. There are only 60 or so houses in America like BHIP houses: (directly on the ocean, directly on a wide river, private deeded access to the river, and ocean access through through an inlet just minutes away, and warm weather year-round). 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 -- 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.

What makes this property unique

Struggling to set the timer on the Microwave? Not sure how to get the Hot Tub warmed up? Myself and other BHIP staff live in the neighborhood, and are always just a few minutes away should you need anything or experience any trouble.
