ABOUT RESTORATION SANDS:

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 BHIP! ("We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")

Introducing "Restoration Sands", a 9BR/6BA Scandinavian-style spa retreat, with a new heated oceanfront swimming pool! Originally a Fortune 500 corporate lodge and fishing retreat (owned at one point by the infamous Enron company), this sanctuary on the sea was recently remodeled from ground to roof by a Swedish family who appointed it with the latest Scandinavian styles and décor. Featuring hidden high-end kitchen appliances, sauna, steam baths & more. Restoration Sands is all-new both inside & out, painstakingly renovated & redecorated to the exacting 5-star luxury standard of BHIP.

Rejuvenate with a beachfront massage—or yoga class in the sand—on your own private 100 feet of Atlantic beach. Refresh with a swim in the warm waters of the Florida Atlantic ocean. Revive your spirit / Reinvigorate your relationships / Reconnect with family / Renew the spark. All at Restoration Sands!

This temple to tranquility is an ocean-to-river paradise 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 the home's large wraparound deck. And with 9 bedrooms & 6 bathrooms (including 4 bedrooms with private en-suite bathrooms), this stylish retreat is packed with features to delight everyone in your family group, across all ages.

And right across the street is a150-foot-long deep-water dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, & stocked with all your favorite water toys (complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel, bicycles, fishing poles & tackle, metal detectors & more).

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities & accommodations at an affordable price (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget!) Note: Restoration Sands 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 the shared dock, & there's even room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp just 1 mile away).

FITNESS / TENNIS / PICKLEBALL / GOLF & MORE SWIMMING POOLS: While the ocean and river are fun, and the home's private heated pool and soothing jacuzzi hot tub are also a blast, some outdoor fanatics still want MORE: So, with your stay of 1 week or longer, the owner includes FREE complimentary passes to 3 resort-style pools at the nearby Ocean Club @ the Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort, conveniently located just 1 mile north of the home. (Your free passes provide access to the private18-hole golf course, tennis/pickleball complex & fitness, 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: Restoration Sands 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".

Restoration Sands

Way overpriced for a tired/worn home. All plastic and paper plates, and glasses. I don’t expect fine china, but a wine glass is nice. You can tell the house has been constantly rented. The parking was sketchy to get in and out of the driveway on an extremely busy road. Very dangerous for runners and bikers. It says it sleeps 20 but you can’t even pull out both trundles in the bunk room at the same time. It sleeps six adults comfortably. Most don’t want to sleep in the living room or a musty basement. The beach was beautiful but crossing the road to the river beach was dangerous with young children. The house had many amenities We also enjoyed going to the Nearby Marriott resort To swim

Absolutely Amazing Place

This house literally had everything you needed from cribs to high chairs to dog bowls and beds to water equipment including fishing to even seasoning to cook with. Literally a perfect house for a huge family. The hot tub was excellent. The pool was heated and great. Plenty of life jackets, beach chairs, goggles, towels. This place is the perfect stay. We will return again. Very accommodating and it was just one of the best equipped houses I’ve stayed at on VRBO. Thank you so much for being the perfect hosts.

The best beach house!

We had a fantastic vacation at Restoration Sands! The house was spacious and accommodated our group of 16 very well. The kids had a blast between the ocean, hot tub, fishing, sauna, pool and volleyball. There was never a dull moment and everything you could need was right there. Al was incredible with lots of communication and information so we were able to maximize every second of our trip. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Amazing!!! 100 stars

I can’t say enough good things about this property and the property management company. My family has been renting homes in Florida for the past 15 years for our vacations, never have we had such an amazing stay. Normally, when we get in, we immediately have to go shopping to get the essentials like paper plates, paper towels, dish soap, etc… this time the only thing we had to worry about was the food that we needed. We had a slight issue with the grill.. I messaged Al, not even a whole 10 minutes later, somebody was there to fix the issue. I asked for a local company to rent some tables and chairs to do dinner on the beach, when we woke up the next morning, Al had already delivered tables, chairs, and tablecloths at no extra charge. They really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every moment of our vacation. Thank you Al!!!

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".

Check out these awards recently garnered by Stuart and Martin County FL:

USA Today: #1 Best Coastal Small Town in America (2024 winner)
Coastal Living Magazine: #1 Happiest Seaside Town in America (2016)
House Beautiful Magazine: #1 Most Beautiful Small Town in Florida
Smithsonian Magazine: Best Small Towns to Visit in the U.S. (3rd place)
America In Bloom (Audubon group): #1 Most Beautiful City in America
American Planning Association: #1 City in Florida (2020 winner)

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.
