ABOUT THE RESORT
Experience the pinnacle of luxury with our Triple-A Trio of Treasure Coast beach houses, collectively known as the "Aquarius Ocean-to-River Resort". This exceptional property comprises "Aquarius Oceanside" (ID# 4286247), "Aquarius North" (ID# 4512067), and "Aquarius South" (ID# 3116784), offering a combined capacity for 60+ guests across 26 bedrooms and 19 bathrooms.
For more details, pictures and independent reviews on each underlying house, view our listings for the three individual homes that comprise the resort.
These luxury-class waterfront retreats feature the best of both worlds: Together they sit DIRECTLY on the Atlantic Ocean beach (your back porch empties onto the sand itself), and they also sit DIRECTLY on the mile-wide Indian River, with private docks for all your water toys, fishing and boating enjoyment. (Plus, ocean access from your private docks is just 1 mile south to the inlet) .
Featuring five-star amenities, hot tubs, jacuzzi baths, 4K UHD flat screen TVs, private docks, tiki-hut outdoor entertainment decks, an elevator, complimentary water toys, and much, much more.
Situated on a private beach in a quiet residential area—there are no condos, high rises or large public beaches for miles. ( No crowds, just a beach all to yourself and your group). The Atlantic Ocean is right off your back porch. And 15 paces from your front door is your own 300-foot-long deep-water private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, and stocked with all your favorite water toys.
Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need to bring 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.
With rates starting at less than $100 per bedroom per night, the Aquarius Ocean-to-River Resort delivers both five-star luxury and a world-class location at an easy-to-justify price.
About BHIP: The Resort 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.
Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at one of two private docks! (or rent one at one of the many nearby providers, and park it at your dock for the duration of your stay!) There's even room to securely park several full-length RVs, right in front of the property!
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!

Not only is the property 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".

Planning a modest event or small gathering at the property? Or is your rental in association with an event held at a nearby venue? We'd love to help!

Nervous about alligators? Don't be: They don't exist near the beach in this part of Florida. (Gators can't survive near the beach in saltwater environments; they live only inland, where there is plenty of fresh water) At BHIP, both the river & ocean are salty.

CANCELLATION IN WHOLE, NOT IN PART:
Cancellability applies only to the 3-house property as a single reservation. You may not cancel "one third" of the reservation (i.e., one house) and keep the other houses. (If you believe you may need to do so, please book each home under a separate individual reservation.)
