Situated on an isolated, private beach on a pristine barrier island, there are no condos, high rises or large public beaches for miles. (No crowds, just a beach all to yourself and your group).

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 near 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 and delicate barrier-island environment, special restrictions may apply (COVID-19 restrictions may also apply).

Very important: Please inquire about your event BEFORE booking (to avoid paying the cancellation fee).



MORE THAN 16 ADULTS? Bella Vista 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.)



About sand fleas & mosquitos: These outdoor pests sometimes visit "Wild" coastal Florida, too! In August 2019, the owner installed a property-wide MosquitoNix Gorilla misting system that provides relief from stinging pests on the property and poolside (push-button mist-on-demand controls).



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.)



SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT ELEVATOR & INTERIOR STAIRS: Due to special hurricane-proof "breakaway" construction, the home's ground floor is not connected to the other 3 floors of the home, except via the elevator (which connects all 4 floors). There is no interior staircase that connects the home's ground floor to the next floor above; only the elevator provides this function.

Family Birthday celebration

We rented the house to host my husband's 80th birthday which happens to be Christmas day. Our kids and grandkids came from all over the states, so it was great to be together in this huge house on the beach. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate so there was a lot of indoor activities happening but everyone had a great time. The house is fully equipped with just about anything you might need so no need to bring anything besides personal items and food. It is a 30 minute drive in and out of the island, so we were glad we had done food shopping the day before since we were driving.We had no major issues except for the system for the no seeums that was not working but someone came right away to get it started. My husband would have liked to see bars installed in the master tub. Hard for an 80 year old to get out of it. We never met Al, the manager, but he was reachable by phone or text all the time. The house itself was very comfortable even with the 4 floors. It was a little dated but very clean and well kept. We would totally recommend this property for a family vacation.

Amazing amenities… all you need is a bathing suit!

We were so impressed with everything! The supplies and amenities are too many to mention but everything was well thought of including an emergency supply of diapers/baby supplies provided for my 1 year old grand daughter and dog bed for our golden. We will definitely book again. We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals and this one was by far the best location and amenities!

Wonderful time

We enjoyed a family retreat in this ocean front property. Plenty of space for everyone, but there's lots of stairs if that is a problem for anyone looking at this place. The view off the back of the home is spectacular... enjoy the sunrises! Use the supplied bug spray to help with the sand mites and "no see'm" pest. The pool right out front was wonderful, and when asked, sunshades were put up over the pool to help with the overheated temp of the pool water. Plenty of floating devices, though some are pretty worn out. Beach towels too, but again, many are getting threadbare. Well supplied kitchen.... search cabinets to find everything you might need, it's probably there somewhere. Chip clips for the bags not finished was the only thing we wished we had. For the vertical challenged person, getting into the master bed could be a problem, it sits pretty high up as does one of the beds on the middle floor. A step stool of some type would have been helpful. There are plenty of board games for the average group, but few toys for toddlers.... bring your own or shop the local Goodwill, which is what we did. We also picked up a booster chair there. A nice variety of "local" sights to go to along with eating establishments. Several Publix and Aldi grocery stores nearby. Overall, a very enjoyable vacation and would recommend to anyone

Best house ever

Honestly, I could go on and on for days about the house. Absolutely perfect! The house and everything about it far exceeded our expectations. We have rented several beach houses before and none compare to the Bella Vista. From its grand appearance on arrival to its gorgeous ocean view, just amazing. Believe it when you read it- this house is fully stocked with just about everything you need. Definitely make a stop at the house first to see what’s there before doing a supply run because you surely will be surprised!! The kitchenwares provided are top-notch. I cannot explain with words how awesome it is to be able to prepare meals for 14+ people and have sufficient cookware, serving dishes, plates, silverware, cups etc. Bedrooms were roomy and mattresses were comfortable. Even the murphy wall beds and sofa beds had comfortable mattresses. Plenty of TV’s and indoor entertainment options with video gaming systems in a couple of locations, board games, puzzles etc however we didn’t have time for more than a couple of board games at night. Strange to see no one turn on a tv. We truly spent just about every minute out at the beach, on the deck watching the ocean, or in the hot tub, or in the pool. Ok- I’m out of character space so to sum it up: this house is awesome. Superhost Al and the team that keeps this property humming is the most awesome of all. 10/10! Can’t wait to come back. It was the best trip we’ve ever had!

Another amazing week at this property!

Had an amazing week at this property (second time renting here) in May of 2024. The house is set up beautifully with plenty of room and privacy for multiple people/families. The property is right on the beach and it felt like a private beach because rarely did we see any other people. There is an elevator, which comes in handy with older guests and luggage etc. The property is managed extremely well, very clean and they provide everything needed for the beach or even kayaking on the river side. We will be back again next year. LOVE this place!

Heaven on Earth

Every year we go away with our family and they said this was the best vacation ever!!! The house had the most spectacular ocean views with a short path to the beach. Between swimming in the pool, riding bikes, sitting on the beach, fishing in the ocean and or intercostal, relaxing in the hot tub or just sitting on the decks time went buy so fast. When you arrive at the home you can't believe all the amenities. The house is spotless and music is being play all throughout the house. There are lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, coffee supplies, paper products, towels, pool and beach toys, miniature golf, fishing rods.... Al, the property manager is always a phone call away and will be there if you need him. We can't wait to go back but next time we will just bring bathing suits, flipflops, shorts and tshirts.

TOP TIER EXPERIENCE!

Hands down the easiest rental experience I’ve ever had. Communication was quick yet laid back in the best way possible. EVERY SINGLE thing you could want/need is here and FULLY over the top stocked. We had a group of 14 from infant to 60+…there was no chance to be bored inside or outside-SO MUCH TO DO. And the privacy was incredible, we had the beach to ourselves. I could go on and on about how impressed I am-it’s not the easiest place to get to coming from New York-yet we all said we wanted to come back every year bc of how incredible this rental experience was (we’ve rented from a lot). Cannot recommend enough, don’t sleep on this house!!!!

A Wonderful Family Vacation

The property was amazing! There were so many many things to do that we didn’t get it all done. The kids enjoyed the miniature golf green. Some of our family went on a bike ride. We needed longer than a week to enjoy all of the activities available! The house was very well supplied. They had enough paper products to serve a small army. There were lots of spices, some sugar and flour. They have a crockpot, hand mixer and coffee grinder. They provided more than we could have ever needed! We highly recommend and would stay there again.

Much needed R & R!

My husband and I wanted to stay someplace close to home due to an ailing pet and found this beautiful home. Because it was so spacious and set up so well for multiple families/couples, we invited family to come for the weekend and everyone had so much fun. The beach, the River access, the pool and everything we could possibly need was right there. The younger crowd enjoyed the game room downstairs and the older crowd just enjoyed relaxing out on the porch overlooking the ocean. The response time from Management was very fast - there was a fire alarm on the ground floor that was chirping and they had someone out there fixing it within 30 minutes. Truly top notch. We already booked again for the spring!

Great, private getaway for the family

We had a great stay at the property. House is right in the beach and fully stocked with amenities, beach toys, and kitchen items. We had 15 in our party, and fit very comfortably. Al the property manager was great and very attentive to our questions and needs. All and all a wonderful house for building family memories. Outside of a handful of people, we had the whole beach to ourselves all week. It is a little far from restaurants, stores as you have to travel 20min in either direction to get off the island. I think that made the stay very intimate, as we rarely saw other people while at the house. Great time!

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.

The property is located a just north of the 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 -- St. Lucie County International Airport -- is just a 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!
