About this house rental

HAVE IT ALL — Live/Work/Play/Relax on your own private beach—and at your very own private luxury ocean-to-river beach house. Get far away from the crowds … and get closer to those who matter the most. Less than an hour away from Palm Beach International Airport, arrive at your own 5-star oceanfront palace on a remote barrier island on the FL Treasure Coast, located in "America's Happiest Seaside City" (Coastal Living Magazine national award winner; see more below). Your own beach house is a tranquil oasis, safely isolated worlds away from the troubles of the day. Need to connect online? Enjoy a rare luxury among vacation rentals: Gigabit-speed commercial-grade secure Wi-Fi internet so fast, you can stream 4K movies at night. And the signal is so powerful, you can work from outside, while on the beach or at the end of the dock. (Perfect for the kids' homework/homeschooling, too.)

SPOTLESSLY CLEAN — We meet & exceed all safety measures & best practices specified by the CDC, FL Dept. of Health, & FL Dept. of Business & Professional Regulation. We utilize hospital-grade cleaning & disinfectant standards, and stock your home with cleaning supplies, alcohol, hand sanitizer & more. (During the initial pandemic shutdowns in Spring 2020, our spotlessly-clean homes passed muster with "front line" teams at hospitals & medical departments, who leased multiple beach houses to host entire hospital nursing units & doctor families for extended stays during those first scary months (when the mode of transmission was not yet clear).

SAFE — This home is managed by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in Florida beachfront vacation rentals.

SAVE — with the owner's many discount plans: FL resident, senior, first responder, military, education, medical, civil service, volunteer & more.

ABOUT ART ON THE BEACH:

Anyone in your family or group the creative type? "Art on the Beach" combines two of life's great passions—art & travel—into a memorable beach-house vacation getaway. A 3-story, 8BR/5BA, ocean-to-river beach palace, w/private elevator, heated plunge pool, oceanfront hot tub, private dock, & more. The 2 top floors are outfitted in 5-star luxury style, the ground floor features 3 bedrooms, plus art studios: A fully stocked & functioning paint/draw studio, fine arts/crafts/scrapbook studio, sand/shells/sculpture studio, plus kids studio. Your Florida beach-house getaway need never get boring!

Live. Play. Recreate. Create … in your own Florida Beach House.

"Art on the Beach", known in our area as "The Art House", is perched high atop an oceanfront sand dune. The home is so close to the ocean that a child can toss a tennis ball into the water from the deck. With 8 bedrooms, plus 5 baths (including 3 with en-suite bathrooms), this beautiful oceanfront-and-riverfront beach house is packed with features to delight everyone in your large family or group across all ages. Plus: Directly across the street lies your own private SECOND beach paradise, with riverfront recreation area: grill, picnic tables, fire pit, tiki bar, boat launch & private dock on the pristine Indian River Estuary. This treasure is the most bio-diverse estuary in North America, teeming with 3400 species of marine life including dolphins, manatee, sea turtles & more.

Why the emphasis on the arts? A famed local architect & his wife designed & built this home as their primary residence in retirement. Famous in South Florida for building much of the city of Boca Raton plus many celebrity-owned retreats in the Caribbean, this well-traveled couple envisioned the home as an inspirational place that arouses creativity, electrifies the senses, & is relaxing & fun AND a place to which the children & grandchildren would enjoy returning to year after year. Now you, too, can share their vision & soak up all the creative energy that this gorgeous luxury beach estate continues to radiate.

Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need for your beach-house vacation … We provide the rest. Travel light—& live large—with the fully-stocked, 5-Star-amenity properties of BHIP! ("We stock heavy, so you can travel light".)

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities & accommodations at an affordable price (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget!) Note: Art House is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.

Right across the street is your own 250-foot-long deep-water private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world & stocked with all your favorite water toys (complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, bicycles, boogie boards, inflatable rafts, fishing poles & tackle, metal detectors, & more).

Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock & there's even room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp is just 1 mile away). RV? Room for that too!

REVIEWS: Read our reviews, & see how families & groups like your own are enjoying five-star experiences IN THEIR OWN HOUSE, at a fraction of the price of a beachfront hotel or resort! For more than 1,000 additional five-star reviews of BHIP homes in the same neighborhood, type "VRBO Beach houses in Paradise" into your favorite internet search service & read all of our five-star VRBO reviews for BHIP beach houses just like this one.



ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED:

From bicycles to beach blankets, towels to toilet paper, paddleboards to picnic baskets, & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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, & 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:

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, delicate barrier-island environment, special restrictions may apply.

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



MORE THAN 10 ADULTS? Art on the Beach 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.)



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 & instructions are provided.)

My extended family stayed at Art on the Beach and we also rented the house next door for a week-long vacation. The house had everything we needed to have the best time, the house itself was super comfortable with a great layout, and the location was excellent with access to both a gorgeous beach on the Atlantic side and a super fun play area with dock on the lagoon side. Both the pool and hot tub were enjoyed by everyone. In addition to the house being so wonderful, everything we could want or need was closeby within short driving distance. Best of all, the property manager was super responsive answering any questions or addressing any needs. 10 out of 10 we'd recommend Art on the Beach for a wonderful vacation!

Art on the Beach is a large, beautiful, welcoming home with incredible views of the ocean and river, perfect for a family or group of friends. There is an abundance of things to do...our favorites included hot tubbing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. There is an inviting common area for large groups to gather and also spots to get away to read & relax. Al was a wonderful host and checkout was a simply “relax” with no chores. We look forward to a future stay here.
