With rates starting at less than $100 per bedroom per night, the Ocean-to-River Beach-House Resort delivers both five-star luxury and a world-class location at an easy-to-justify price.
These luxury-class beachfront retreats feature the best of both worlds: 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 dock 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, complimentary water toys, and much, much more, we didn't miss a trick.
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.
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.

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.
VIDEOS, 3D TOURS, FLOOR PLANS & MORE: Want a closer look at the property? Just ask! We have videos, architectural floor plans, Immersive 3D Tours, and more. (Note: All communications must take place on the VRBO platform; this property is available only via VRBO)

PERFECT LOCATION:

(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 property? 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.

MORE THAN 31 ADULTS? The Resort might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.

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 half" of the reservation (i.e., one house) and keep the other house. (If you believe you may need to do so, please book each home under a separate individual reservation.)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 16 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 24 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers.

Wow! Fantastic Family Gathering!
Everything about Beach Houses in Paradise was top notch. When they say they include “everything “ except food, they aren’t kidding. So many activities— we didn’t have time to do everything in the 8 days we stayed! No one was bored.We rented the 3 houses, which were plenty spacious for 23 people to stay. We gathered for dinner at Carpe Diem.Checkin was easy; checkout was even easier (no list of things to do.) Al was a great communicator, responding quickly to any questions we had.You should not hesitate to book — it’s wonderful!

Unbelievable
Don't think about it - just book it. Best ever. Communication with Al was perfect all the way through the rental. The places were perfect for our corporate retreat. There's only one negative: we had to leave. So many great memories to carry us through the long winter ahead - thanks Al. You were the perfect host.

Amazing
My wife and I rented these three properties together for our small beach wedding of about 30 guests. We had never stayed here before so didn’t really know what to expect. Upon arrival we were extremely impressed with all of the amenities that every house had to offer. We drove from Michigan because we wanted to be prepared for our week long stay but it wasn’t necessary, we ended up leaving half of the stuff we had brought in the car. This place has everything you will ever need and then some for any group of people. Beach toys, life jackets, snorkels, coolers, games, the list would be absolutely endless but everything you need inside and out. All of our guest had an incredible time and I would recommend these houses to anyone.... thank you so much for everything this was possibly the best trip of my life!!!

Unimaginable Houses and Outstanding Service for DIY Wedding
I honestly don't know what to say, because the words could not possibly capture how impressive these houses are and how dedicated the property team was to our stay. We had a large group (40+ people) for our wedding week and rented the three side-by-side properties and then an additional property next door (named "Carpe Diem," rented through the same company). We had high expectations because of the great reviews. The properties somehow exceeded our expectations. Al (manager of the rental company) was always available and extremely responsive throughout our stay. We had a couple small, inevitable issues along the way and they were always there within an hour to fix things. Our wedding ceremony was held at a different venue, but the houses were excellent for the rehearsal dinner and the brunch the next day. Huge TVs, hot tubs, paddle boards, all the beach gear you could ever imagine, Sonos, welcome packages, fire pits, everything. Seriously, I have no idea how to write this without making it sound like I was paid to do so. It was perfect in every way, and all of our guests were thrilled with their stay. I just hope we get the chance to stay there again!

Amazing experience
We rented all three homes for a corporate retreat and it was an amazing experience. Homes are beautiful, clean and well stocked with essentials. There are lots of activities that are available including paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, and hanging out on the beach... all without having to bring our own equipment because it's all available. The sunrise over the ocean in the morning and sunset over the inter-coastal in the evening made it a really special and successful corporate retreat and we thank Al for his hard work and attention to detail. We will certainly be back!
