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: Because parking is limited to only 4 vehicles, and the home lies at the end of a private one-way street in a very quiet residential neighborhood, this home is not available for large parties or events. It is NOT a party house. Plus: The area surrounding the home is environmentally fragile, and cannot safely withstand more people than the posted maximum occupancy of the home itself. The house also lacks a single large room suitable for hosting a large group. If you want to have a big party near the beach, consider these nearby alternatives: The Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort has ample facilities for large events, and The House of Refuge has a smaller room that it rents out to small-to-medium-size events.



MORE THAN 8 ADULTS Aquatopia North might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.



HOUSE TOO SMALL Got a large group Worried that the house might be too small Supersize your reservation by adding Aquatopia (South), and SAVE! (Aquatopia South is the 6BR/4BA riverfront pool house that's right next door to Aquatopia North, also featuring its own private dock + heated pool). You can book this home at VRBO/HomeAway property ID# 4970215, and get an extra 10% multi-property reservation discount!



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! Recently, the homeowner installed a property-wide MistAway misting system that provides relief from stinging pests on the property and poolside (push-button mist-on-demand controls).

    When Al says you only need to pack your swimsuit, shorts and flip flops, he means it! This home is stocked with things I’ve never gotten at other rentals- spices, cooking oil, baggies, napkins, paper plates, coffee cups, coffee and a basket with creamer and sweeteners, nespresso machine also with pod assortment, condiment basket, beach towels,Bug spray, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, bath soap, shampoo, conditioner, razors, toothbrushes, robes and slippers, games and puzzles for adults and kids, video game system. Outside there are lots of seating areas, firepit, pool, hot tub, kayaks, paddle boards, water bike, beach area, lots of beach toys, life jackets for every size, bikes in all sizes, basketball, ladder ball, Cornhole, beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach wagon, fishing poles and a dock. The kids and adults had a blast!! There are several beaches on the ocean within a 15 minute walk. On one side is a bedroom that can be twin beds or a king bed, a queen bedroom, a small hall bath and 2 single over double bunk beds that close off with a heavy curtain. On the other side is a king bedroom and attached bath. The garage has a studio apartment in the back of it. It has a king bed, sitting area and small kitchenette and bar fridge. There is a shower and toilet in there but no vanity area to do your hair or makeup. No dressers or closets either. Al was very responsive to any questions or needs that we had The views and sunsets and marine life were amazing!

    We loved our time at Aquatopia North! Beautiful location, amazing amenities and excellent management. It was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool so much and watching the sunsets on our deck. The fishing from the dock was so fun along with all the water toys! We couldn’t recommend this place more! Thanks for the awesome stay!

    Aquatopia North is a fantastic vacation property! We have stayed in several Beach Houses in Paradise properties and have never been disappointed.The heated pool was a huge hit with our young grandchildren! The outside dining table and the gas fired seating area on the deck were great and provided fabulous views of the river and the spectacular sunsets! We were excited to see dolphins swimming by two times! ( once when we were in kayaks)A major bonus is all that is provided at the house- outside there are kayaks, paddleboards, water bike, fishing equipment, pool and beach toys, bicycles, and more. Inside the house is so well stocked with staples such as coffee and tea, condiments, spices, and also beach towels and toiletries.The service from Al Roberts and his team is exceptional! It gives us piece of mind to know that our vacation rental will be clean and well supplied, so we can just relax and enjoy our vacation! We have already booked our return visit for next year!

    Weather was uncooperative, but home was beautiful. A tub would have been helpful for our 18 month old. Maybe recommend a baby bath tub. Gift basket, baby supplies and crib, and house supplies were greatly appreciated. Expresso machine and ice maker made wonderful, not anticipated, appliances. Private location with excellent view of Indian river, yet close to town. Would absolutely recommend to parties and families with six or less persons. Only two bathrooms but lots of beds. It was perfect for the two of us and baby.

    We have stayed in numerous rental properties, and this was managed better than any other property.. by a lot. Beach Houses in Paradise has set the bar for what I would hope for in every property. Everything you would ever need was provided with some very nice extras. Al was extremely responsive to questions throughout the process. The house was very comfortable. The pool was top notch. The view was beautiful. I would highly recommend this house and company!! (Just not when we want to come back.)

    We stayed at the property with our extended family for a week to celebrate a birthday. The house is very, very nice and still feels comfortable. The property manager has thought very thoroughly about what is needed and appreciated by guests and we found many things that were just so appreciated that made our stay easier and relaxing. They had a lovely gift basket waiting for us and all the coffee and tea and condiments we could have needed (and thankfully did not have to buy). The property has an extensive assortment of human powered water craft and is located in a quiet and secluded area that made it feel extra special. I really felt like this property manager and home were on another level compared to other properties we have rented with VRBO because they thought about the guests needs and wants and provided for them. Honestly, it made me feel special. We will definitely be trying to go back to this property in the future. I think this property is excellent for families with children (space and plenty of places to be active) as well as adults who just want to hang out quietly by the pool.

    This place truly has it all. Very well stocked for everthing you'll need. The pool was a bit warm, so Al had a sling cover installed the next day which helped tremendously with the sun and temperature. Beds were all very comfortable. Very private tropical vibe.

    From beginning to end this property was top notch. From the moment we walked in we felt so welcomed. From all the amenities to the extra supplies that were available we couldn't ask for more. Our family has rented vacation homes for years and this has to be the top of our list and definite return to property. From small children, teens, and adults, there was more than enough to keep everyone happy. We loved our getaway and would highly recommend.
