About this villa 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, and 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 and 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.

Travel light—and live large—with the fully stocked, meticulously maintained 5-Star-amenity properties of Beach Houses in Paradise. (At BHIP, our motto is "We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")

Italian for "The sweet life", La Dolce Vita is an 8-bedroom, 5-bath European-style luxury pool home which sits directly on the Atlantic Ocean, and directly across the street from the Indian River (w/private dock).

Get everybody together at your own private beachfront luxury home, & live the sweet life. (La Dolce Vita is especially well-suited for family reunions, groups of friends, and religious/corporate/group retreats.)

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities, accommodations and an ON-the-beach location at a price you can afford. (It's like champagne on a beer budget!) Note: La Dolce Vita is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.

Already a high-end luxury beach villa, the majestic property was further upgraded and restored recently with all-new beds & furnishings, 4K UHD TVs, water toys, high-speed business-class Wi-Fi internet, & more.

La Dolce Vita is one of the few BHIP homes that feature both a built-in heated pool & a private elevator (no more stairs!) Plus: With its huge double-oven kitchen & spacious open floor plan that can entertain up to a few dozen in the same room (see pictures), and ample parking, this sparkling palace is one of our best-suited beach houses for small events & gatherings (Note: La Dolce Vita is *NOT* a party house)

With 8 bedrooms and 5 baths,100 linear feet on both the ocean and bay/river, a big oceanfront relaxation deck (and separate observation/sundeck), plus riverfront dock, and more than 3600 square feet of bedrooms, bathrooms and living area, La Dolce Vita is among the largest and most luxuriously appointed ocean-to-river beach houses available in the USA.

And 15 paces from your front door is a nature-preserve walkway that leads to 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 (complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, bicycles, boogie boards, fishing gear, metal detectors, and more).

About BHIP: La Dolce Vita 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.

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:

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 (COVID-19 restrictions may also apply).

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



MORE THAN 12 ADULTS? La Dolce Vita 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 and instructions are provided.)



HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE AREA

* Don't approach dolphins, sea turtles & manatees (often seen near the end of the dock). These are protected species. The offshore marine patrol prosecutes aggressively.

* Please clean up after a successful day fishing. Discard all hooks, line & litter.

We live in South Florida so were able to navigate a short trip this time. We made the most of every minute of it. Great that all of the “beach toys” were there for our family to enjoy.

This house was wonderful and is stocked with nearly everything you need! The property management team is fabulous and so reaponsive, with a great attention to detail. I had mentioned something about the wheelchair in the garage in an email to Al and when we checked in, the chair had been brought up for our use! We also forgot a few items and within a week they were at my doorstep. The only negatives about the property is that the downstairs is only accessible via the elevator inside, the layout is a tad wonky, and the road in front of the house was busier than expected, so we opted to forego bike rides. Be sure to check out the dock and river on the other side of the property - I may have prefered it to the oceanside! All in all, a great trip and my family would definitely stay here again!

We have stayed in this area and with this management company for the last couple of years. The house and property were clean with all essentials needed for the whole week included. The grills looked like they were brand new, which is not the case for most properties. The house itself has a great view of the beach and you can hear the waves crashing at night. The houses main benefit is being able to enjoy both the sound and ocean. Everything in the house was included with many extras located within the house.

Our stay was amazing. The house was so clean and so much thought went into what we would experience while vacationing. When you read the amenities that the house comes with, believe it! This house came fully stocked with everything we would need to be at the beach! Do not over think and pack too much! If you have this house saved as a contender for your next vacation. Stop right now, book this house! You will not regret it!

Our vacation stay at this property was nothing less than amazing. The home was beautiful, impressive, and very well stocked. Private beachfront property with stunning views and a scenic walkway through the mangroves that led out to the intercoastal dock where we watched the dolphins every day. Detailed pictures of the home do a pretty good job of featuring the layout, but we were most impressed by the service we received. I’ve rented many other properties from VRBO, and I’ve never had a bad experience, but I have to say Al and his team really set a new standard for customer service. So much thought was put into every detail. From the welcome basket we received, to the robes, slippers, beach towels, coffee, tea, creamers, jellies, and all of the countless beach toys that were made available…. fishing poles, kayaks…. everything. Al even provided us with a phone charger since I managed to leave mine at home. I messaged him when I was two hours away from the property and the charging cord was delivered to the house before we even arrived. After surveying the area, I was a bit concerned about getting my father out to the dock because he cannot walk very long distances. After a quick search, I found a wheelchair in the garage! Again, amazing attention to detail. Please do not hesitate if you are thinking about renting this home. It was a perfect experience, and an excellent value!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at La Dolce Vita. The house and property were great- super clean and incredibly well stocked! EVERYTHING you would want for a week at the beach is provided. Instructions for everything were very clear and everything was labeled (kitchen contents, etc)- super helpful! Communication was outstanding- we only had one minor issue with two bikes and two new bikes were dropped off within the hour. Any emails were answered almost immediately! The view from the house is beautiful and location is wonderful. A Publix grocery store is conveniently located a mile away and we had wonderful meals/drinks and service at all the restaurants we tried. (Kyle G’s Prime, Shuckers, Stuart Boathouse, Hudsons, Fujiyama hibachi)Just an FYI- the entrance to the house is directly on a main road and we all agreed that it would be a slight concern with small children. 5 stars!
