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)

    Family Tides exceeded our expectations. From a fully stocked kitchen to paddle boards and kayaks, from bathroom toiletries to family board games, dominoes and cards.... ping pong, water shoes, mask/snorkels, bikes...i could go on! Publix, cvs and Walgreens less than 20 minutes away. It was a perfect family weekend for my wifes 60th birthday! My eldest son loved fishing in the river, caught 2 snooks. He released them to live on of course.

    You could walk out the front and stand in the ocean or head out the back and walk across the street to the river to paddleboard and Kayak. We stay in VRBO's a lot and this home was stocked with supplies like I have never seen before. We grilled out every night and were able to spend real quality time with our friends and family. You will not be disappointed with your stay here. The only words of caution are that the stairs are narrow and steep, we kept my Mom on the main level to minimize the number of times she had to go up or down them. Regarding the stairs, they do have baby gates so you don't have to worry about small children.

    What a beautiful stay we had in your house. Thank you so much for all your generous extras from the dog bed and bowls to the extra sunscreen! We couldn’t have felt more at home and taken care of. Everything in the house was fully stocked and functional. Beach was amazing and your neighbors delightful!

    House was 100% as-advertised, with all the extras you could wish for. Our family enjoyed all the beach toys (kayaks, sand toys, paddle board, etc) and spent many hours fishing in the lagoon right off the dock. The house was in great condition, very clean, and fully stocked. The surrounding area had plenty to afford, with sea life, air shows, and more. We'd love to rent this location and/or other sister properties in the future again.

    As always, we had a great stay with Beach Houses in Paradise. The house had everything we needed and some. The beds were comfortable, and there are plenty of towels and linens. The location is amazing. My boys love going back and forth from the river to the ocean. My husband and I loved taking long walks to the inlet. Bathtub beach was just a short walk and we did that daily. We also enjoyed doing the many puzzles on rainy days. We can't wait to go back!

    This was our first time in the Stuart area & our first time with BHP and now we can't rent from any other place because it was that AMAZING! We have stayed in many rentals but nothing ever like this in terms of the amenities & service. The descriptions of what's provided seem too good to be true but it's even better! Ample space with 7 adults including grandparents and 4 kids ages 1- 15. There are a lot of steps- we had no issues, but something to consider for those with mobility issues. We loved that baby gates were provided for them. The house is so family friendly! If you have babies or toddlers, there were pack n plays on each floor- spotlessly clean. Same for everything provided. I can't stress enough how everything is provided making traveling so much easier. Publix is close and delivers. This house is so amazing that despite having sun pouring in morning and night, it still stayed cold with supplemental A/C units. Even the garage! We loved the views from the house, the private beach and clear waters & sunsets on the dock. There was little reason to ever leave. We watched sea turtles hatch right from the deck. It's in a quiet area but the house offers so many things to do that we could have stayed months without getting bored! I can not recommend Family Tides and BHP management enough. AMAZING in every way! Pro tip: rent a boat & ask if they will deliver to the private dock & check out Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center (2 miles away- great for adults and kids)
