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). About BHIP: This home 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". — WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT OUR AREA (Stuart, 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) \* Oprah Winfrey: "Most charming American towns you've never heard of" (6th place, O Magazine, Jan 2020) \* USA Today: #5 Best Florida Beach 2025 Rankings (of more than 100 beaches considered) \* FindTheHome: #1 Best Place to Retire in the U.S. \* OnlyInYourState: 1 of 8 "Most Beautiful Small Towns in Florida" \* HuffingtonPost: Top Florida Beach Towns — EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS: Planning a modest event or small gathering at the home?

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.) — WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY and MOTION-IMPAIRED ACCESSIBILITY: Like many ocean-to-river beach homes in this area, to enter the primary living areas on Level 2, one must climb stairs. This second level contains kitchen, dining, living room/family room, bathroom, plus two partitioned bedrooms,. To reach bedrooms on levels 3 and 4, yet more stairs must be climbed.

We’ve been coming here as a family for 8 years & now have a grandchild who joined us too. The house is great, the beach is great, the amenities at the Indian River were also great. ##### Ryan D.

We particularly appreciated how well stocked the house was. It had everything you could want for time at the beach. Having all the basics stocked in the kitchen was appreciated too. ##### Jacqueline P. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean G.

House very clean and well stocked. Lot's of play things for adults and children. Check in process was a little confusing. ##### Russell B. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben T. Jan 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location, great with kids The location is simply amazing, with the beach on one side and the dock on the other. The place has every imaginable thing you might need from toys to kayaks to a full kitchen. Our kids had a great time. We had a plumbing issue, but the owners fixed it the same day. The only downsides are that it's expensive and there is a lot of stuff, so it can feel a bit cramped. Also, the top floor requires basically a ladder to access. This was okay for my 70 year old mom and 3 year old son, but could be a problem for others. ##### Ben T. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven S.

I watched the sunrise every morning and the sunset every night from my vacation home. The host thought of everything and anything someone could want from water shoes to kayaks to board games and books in the house. The hot tub facing the ocean was fantastic. There’s a small pool. The view from the upstairs rooms is amazing. The large dining room table allowed me to have my nine person family enjoy lunches and dinners. The table on the back patio allowed me to enjoy coffee watching the ocean in the morning. The host responded to any of our needs immediately.I will certainly go back to this property in the future. ##### Steven S. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisa C.

The house is the perfect set up for a few adults and lots of kids. This was our first visit to Stuart and we loved it. We went for Spring Break and the weather was warm. We loved being able to bounce from the beach side to the river side depending on wind and activities. You could watch the sunrise on the beach side and every night we watched the sunset from the riverside pier. The girls kayaked and paddle boarded every day. They ##### Elisa C.

Two unusually good things about this property: privacy and the way it is stocked. I’ve stayed at a couple of dozen different higher end properties, and none has ever been stocked like this one! Huge selection of games and puzzles, all in excellent condition, guest slippers and robes in every bathroom, their outdoor equipment was thorough and all in amazing shape. They also had “surprises” throughout the property that you will stumble upon. I don’t want to ruin it for any future guests, but trust me, it was so fun to find and very creatively thoughtful. Someone thought of everything, and then went back and added more to the list. Now to privacy: this is always on the top of my list, not being stuck at the beach next to loud music if you don’t want it or rowdy groups. This property was the exact opposite. Most days, our beach was 100 yards of gorgeous beach just for us. We would see maybe two or three people a day walk by. The hot tub out the back balcony is gorgeous at night, with a great view of the stars and no light pollution. The rocks are some added beauty to watch the waves crash, rather than just straight sand. A few FYIs: A good Publix grocery store is just a couple of miles down the road. While the property is great, the town is not what you would think of when you think of old Florida “Beachtown” with little boardwalk shops or anything like that, but if you’re in it for beauty and privacy and an A++ property, I don’t think you can beat this place. And I am picky :) ##### Lee D.

As Good as it Gets is a beautiful, well-maintained property and the location between the intracoastal and ocean is perfection. We were able to enjoy what is essentially a private beach, with amazing sunrises and shelling. The fishing off the dock was fantastic as were the sunsets. The house is definitely the most well-stocked rental we have ever had. The amenities were numerous, and as a party of 6 adults, we were very comfortable. Al was very responsive to any questions.
