About this property
Xanadu: ON.THE.BEACH! Heated pools, Ocean2River, Elevator, Dock,Spa: It's HUGE!
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.
Escape. Recharge. Connect. Welcome to your beachfront paradise!
---
SPOTLESSLY CLEAN — We meet & exceed all safety measures & best practices specified by the CDC & FL Dept of Health. We utilize hospital-grade cleaning & disinfectant standards, and stock your home with cleaning supplies, alcohol, hand sanitizer & more.
SAFE — With thousands and thousands of 5-star reviews behind it, this home is managed by Al Roberts and Beach Houses in Paradise, the 25-year leader in luxury five-star Florida beachfront vacation rentals.
SAVE — with the owner's many discount plans: FL resident, seniors, first responder, military, education, medical, civil service, volunteer & more.
ABOUT XANADU:
Xanadu: "An idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place" (Webster's Dictionary).
Xanadu is a luxury 12+BR/6BA ocean-to-river beachfront palace, literally fewer than 10 steps away from the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Featuring a private elevator, private dock, heated oceanfront plunge pool / hot tub, heated swimming pool (on the riverside), 5-hole miniature-golf putting green, & so much more!
Perched high atop an oceanfront sand dune, the home is so close to the ocean that a child can toss a tennis ball into the water, from Xanadu's large oceanfront deck. And with 12+ bedrooms, 6 bathrooms (including 4 en-suite bathrooms), this enormous 4-story retreat is packed with features to delight everyone in your family or group, across all ages. Xanadu includes a double-oven oceanfront chef's kitchen, top-floor observation deck with water views for miles, & more. (And did we mention the oceanfront plunge pool / hot tub, plus heated swimming pool on the riverside?)
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! ("We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")
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: Xanadu is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.
The Atlantic Ocean is right off your back porch. And right across the street is your own 250-foot-long deep-water private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, & stocked with all your favorite water toys (complimentary, of course).
Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, and there's even room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp is just 1 mile away). RV? Room for that too!
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.
About BHIP: Xanadu is one of several luxury 5-star properties operated by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in offering 5-star luxury, amenities and service in sunny FL beachfront settings.

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 beach 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 16 ADULTS? Xanadu 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.
—
WHEELCHAIR & MOTION-IMPAIRED ACCESS:
Xanadu has a private elevator that connects the first 3 floors—from the garage level to the bedroom level. It does not reach 4th FL.

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

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!

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. (Palm Beach International less than one hour away).
