Located less than an hour from Palm Beach International Airport, this 5-star-rated oceanfront retreat sits in Stuart FL: USA Today’s #1 Coastal Small Town in America (2024). It’s also proudly named America’s Happiest Seaside Town by Coastal Living Magazine.
This is more than a vacation — it's your personal sanctuary in the heart of the perfect beach town. Relax in total privacy while staying just minutes from vibrant restaurants, boutique shopping, and exciting attractions.

All inclusive, stocked to the nines, and FREE: At BHIP, "We stock heavy, so you can travel light". Beach umbrellas & canopies, beach chairs, bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, coolers, games, toys, towels, linens, laundry pods, paper goods, cooking gear / staples / spices, baby & toddler gear, and so much more.

ABOUT THE HOME:
Aquarius South is our newest, family-friendly direct-riverfront beach house, just 200 feet away from the ocean. Perfect for kids, seniors and every age
between. Fun & relaxation for everyone!
As an astrological sign, Aquarius is the bearer of water, the giver and sustainer of life. And so it is with this water-rich beach house! Let "Aquarius South" infuse your life—and those of your family or group—with its countless water pleasures, including a heated swimming pool + spa, private dock, riverfront recreation area and putting green, and access to the Atlantic Ocean (located just steps across the street!).
And if this massive home isn't big enough for your group, consider "Aquarius Resort", where you can rent both "Aquarius" homes together (17BR/11BA) in a single reservation.
And everyone will enjoy being just minutes away from the award-winning restaurants, shopping, theater and nightlife available in Florida's own "Mayberry", the charming Stuart FL / Jensen Beach area ("#1 Best Coastal Small Town in America"—USA Today, 2024 Winner).
But best of all, Aquarius South is a fantastic deal: Since it is only 200 feet away from the Atlantic ocean—but isn't DIRECTLY on the ocean—rates are much lower than our direct-oceanfront beach houses.
With rates starting at less than $100 per night per private lock-the-door bedroom, it's less than ~half~ the price of getting everyone together at a hotel or resort. Aquarius South delivers you 5-star amenities, luxury accommodations and at a price you can afford (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget).
Note: Aquarius South is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.
Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need for your Florida beach-house vacation . . . We provide the rest.
Aquarius South is less than one hour from the Palm Beach International Airport, and less than two hours from Orlando and the theme parks. Travel light—and live large—with the fully-stocked, 5-Star-amenity properties of Beach Houses in Paradise. (At BHIP, our motto is "We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")
Plus: Enjoy our complete set of complimentary water toys and recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, putting green, fishing gear, snorkel gear, and so much more. Jet skis & boats are available, too!
SAVE! We offer many discounts to Airbnb members: Military, educators, civil service, rescue & law enforcement, medical & more. Active or retired. Even Florida residents save $$. (But Seniors age 50+ get the biggest discount of all). Inquire with your inquiry/booking.
Traveling by RV? No problem, park it at Aquarius South.
Bringing your boat? No problem! Moor it on Aquarius South's own private dock, and park that trailer right at the house!
About BHIP—Aquarius South is one of several luxury five-star properties operated by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in offering five-star luxury, amenities and service in sunny beachfront settings.

ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED: From bicycles to beach blankets, from towels to toilet paper, and all points between. (Did you know that fewer than 25% of Florida listings include high chairs for little ones? 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, and other basic staples. And can you imagine arriving to your beach 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, and horseshoes? Why waste the first day of your precious vacation -- or 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 the spa and pool, and put out the bathrobes & towels so your relaxing beach vacation can start the moment you arrive.)

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"

MORE THAN 15 ADULTS? Aquarius South might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.
------
Nervous about alligators? Don't be: They don't exist in this coastal part of Florida. Here's why: Gators can't survive near the beach in saltwater environments; they live only inland, where there is plenty of fresh water (think ponds & lakes, canals & streams). At Aquarius South, the river & dock area—located just north of the St. Lucie inlet—is very salty, as the ocean water comes in and out twice a day with the tides.
------
About sand fleas and mosquitos: These outdoor pests sometimes visit "Wild" coastal Florida, too! The owner installed a property-wide Mistaway misting system. (Push-button mist-on-demand controls.) Works great! Problem solved!
------
A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT: And there's even more fun to be had: The home sits smack dab in the middle of the "Treasure Coast". To this very day, gold doubloons, pieces of eight and other Spanish treasure still occasionally wash up along Hutchinson Island, especially following big storms (complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors and instructions are provided, of course).
------
HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE AREA: The waters in and around the beach house are among the most biologically rich and environmentally sensitive in the entire United States. The owners of the home have been financial supporters of local environmental groups for many, many years, with financial contributions into the 7 figures. Upon your arrival, you will notice and appreciate the extent to which exhaustive measures have been taken to preserve the pristine areas surrounding the home in a no-impact, leave-no-trace manner. ("Leave no trace": After you have enjoyed your stay, the beaches and waters surrounding the home should appear exactly as they appeared when you arrived. No footprints, no litter, no nothing—it's as if you never visited) Help preserve the natural beauty and sensitive ecosystem surrounding the home:
* Do not touch or approach dolphins, sea turtles and manatees (who swim near Oceania). These are protected species. Florida Fish & Wildlife officers routinely patrol the area on foot and from their boats (they have powerful binoculars in the boats). They WILL arrest or ticket you if you are harming the environment)
* Be responsible with your fishing tackle. Avoid leaving behind loose line, hooks and other tackle after a successful day fishing. (Pelicans, egrets, heron and other birdlife get tangled in fish line or snagged by hooks. . .or by fish they've caught who still have a hook in their mouth.
* Do not litter (this includes urinating into the water, emptying alcohol or soda into the water, and so on)
------
Taxes & Fees:
* Occupancy Tax: At checkout, Airbnb collects a 6.0%-6.5% Florida sales tax from you (the amount varies by Florida county), and which it labels as "occupancy taxes". Airbnb directly remits this amount to the state of Florida.
* Tourism Tax/Bed Tax: Martin County Florida requires BHIP to collect an additional 5.0% "bed tax" (tourism tax), which is added to the nightly rental rate by Airbnb. (For example, if a home's owner has set the nightly rate to $500/night, Airbnb will present the cost inclusive with the additional 5% county tourism tax, or $525/night. Airbnb collects this from you, remits to BHIP, and BHIP remits to the county.
* Cleaning/Restock/Linen Fee: Our beach houses are operated the same as any 5-star luxury hotel or world-famous oceanfront resort, but with one big difference: This 5-star luxury standard of excellence is presented in the warm and lavish setting of a wealthy family's beachfront ~home~, rather than in the cold setting of an impersonal giant hotel chain. These magnificent and meticulously-clean beach homes come ~completely~ stocked for a turnkey beach-house vacation. Pack nothing: All you need bring are your flip flops, beach clothes, and fresh groceries. Other vacation rental companies provide a house that—except for furniture—is otherwise empty . . . a no-frills "spartan" experience, where you are left on your own to bring toilet paper, towels, beach toys, coolers, kitchenware, dishware and more. But BHIP isn't like the others: At BHIP, all of that is already included in your rate, and all these items are already ~inside~ your sparkling-clean beach house . . . so that the moment you arrive, you can breathe easy and immediately begin your vacation! (And that's a lot more relaxing & fun than the ugly alternative: After a long and stressful day of travel, arriving to an empty & unstocked home, and—already exhausted—having to climb back into the rental car again for a drive out to the local Walmart to buy toilet paper and other essentials). Avoid the stress: Spend your vacation relaxing and reconnecting, rather than at the store shopping for essential house supplies.

CAN I COMBINE A FLORIDA BEACH HOUSE VACATION WITH A DISNEY WORLD ORLANDO VACATION?
Absolutely. For those interested in combining a beach house experience with Mickey Mouse, Disney World, Universal, and all the other Orlando Resorts: It's a pleasant two-hour drive from the Ocean-to-River Beach House to Disney and Orlando, driving along the Florida Turnpike. (Avoid the Interstate). Many vacationing families in our beach-house community will spend a week bringing three (or four!) generations together in a Florida beach house, then "spin off" the younger side of the family to Disney World for a few days. We've seen it first-hand: And it may just be the best way EVER to combine a Florida Beach House vacation with an Orlando / Disney World / Universal / Mickey Mouse vacation!
------
NO PARTIES OR EVENTS ALLOWED:
This home is not available for 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. If you want to have a 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.
-----
Bedrooms & Bathrooms: Platforms like Airbnb may define "bedrooms" differently than the definitions used with regard to building codes, fire & safety codes, health-department codes and other applicable regulations and laws. For example, Airbnb may count any "sleep room" towards the overall bedroom count, including rooms featuring wall beds, sofa beds, lofts, and other makeshift sleep rooms. Similarly, Airbnb may define the term "bathroom" differently than the definitions used with regard to building codes, fire & safety codes, health-department codes and other applicable regulations and laws. For example, Airbnb may consider the existence of outdoor hot/cold showers and similar bathing facilities as a component of the overall bathroom count. For specific details concerning the bedrooms and bathrooms presented in this booking, please contact the property manager.

Rental agreement: Rental of this luxury home is subject to the owner's standard terms & conditions, which includes liability disclaimers and other matters of importance. If, after booking a reservation, you decide you are not comfortable with the agreement, you have the right to cancel your reservation without penalty, subject to the terms of the cancellation policy presented to you at the time of booking and accepted by you at the time of booking.
