Heaven Can't Wait: ON the BEACH!! Heated pool + hot tub, private dock. 7BR/4BA

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 -- Covid might be over, but we still clean our homes to hospital-grade CDC standards.

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

ABOUT THE HOME:

Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need to bring for your Florida beach-house vacation … We provide the rest. 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.")

Featuring 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and a new heated oceanfront swimming pool, Heaven Can't Wait is where Ocean-to-River fabulousness meets outer-banks-style architecture: A member of the Beach Houses in Paradise family, the home is fitted with luxury furnishings throughout, and five-star amenities including a private heated oceanfront swimming pool and an oceanfront hot tub. HCW is also pet-friendly, on a pet-friendly beach & river, with dog-wash stations, grassy area next door, & more. The perfect marriage of seaside serenity & water fun! Step off the back porch into the Atlantic Ocean. Walk 15 paces from the front yard to your private dock on the mile-wide Indian River. Fantastic fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, jet skis & more.

The home is situated on a private beach in a quiet residential area. No condos, high rises or large public beaches for miles ... just a beach all to yourself and your group. Just across the street is your own 200-foot-long deep-water private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, & stocked with all your favorite complimentary water toys and fishing gear.

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities & accommodations at an affordable price (It's like champagne on a beer budget). Note: The home is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers.

FITNESS / TENNIS / PICKLEBALL / GOLF & MORE SWIMMING POOLS: While the ocean and river are fun, and the home's private heated pool and soothing jacuzzi hot tub are also a blast, some outdoor fanatics still want MORE: So, with your stay of 1 week or longer, the owner includes FREE complimentary passes to 3 resort-style pools at the nearby Ocean Club @ the Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort, conveniently located just 1 mile north of the home.

About BHIP: Heaven Can’t Wait 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)

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!




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 9 ADULTS? Heaven Can't Wait 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

The river is considered among the most biologically rich & environmentally sensitive estuary in North America. Our owners avidly support local environmental groups, contributing millions in recent decades.

Help preserve our 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.

Amazing property with all the fixins'
We absolutely loved the stay at this property. Had all of your basic needs provided with a beautiful small private beach on the lake side with so much to do! It was so relaxing eating breakfast on the bedroom balcony facing the ocean after a morning walk on the beach. Our husband's used the membership to play a sun filled 9 hole round of golf and the kids were thrilled to use the kayaks, paddle boards and fishing gear. Honestly have never rented a more fun, welcoming and wonderful beach house.

Stay here! You'll LOVE it
Our trip was over Spring Break - last week of March - 2 families - 6 teenagers and 4 adults. First - we LOVED Stuart Florida and Hutchinson Island. Peaceful, beachy...not tons to do but that's what we wanted out of this beach vacay. There are good restuarants, golf, and a grocery store all within 2 miles...plus the downtown Stuart area is classic beachy cool. The house was amazing -- our communication with the property manager was the best I've had in any VRBO. The house was super clean and stocked with things we didn't even think we needed! Plenty of toys, towels, hygiene items - also the kitchen had everything we needed (except a bottle opener-haha). This was really the best prepped VRBO we've ever been in. The backyard is the beach - literally steps to an almost private Atlantic side beach with great waves, good sand, very little seaweed and no jellyfish for us! The front of the house has a pier where we fished everyday - the kids took out the provided paddleboards and kayaks - and we had little bonfires at night! The bedroom spaces were perfect for all the kids and us - -- especially the downstairs "apartment". The house is NOT super huge, but big enough to accomodate our group. It's quirky - which we loved. Can' t say enough good things about this management group -- they really "get it" and strive to make everything as easy as possible. We'd love to stay there again.

Hands down, best equipped vrbo we have ever stayed in. The views, shelling, amenities, beds, kitchen and bath, dock, location all were wonderful. We would love to come back. We were there for two weeks and loved everything.

About the host

Hosted by Al Roberts, Property Manager at Beach Houses in Paradise

Host profile image
I'm a semi-retired Dad in his early 50s with a finance & IT background. I spent the most productive 25 years of my life confined indoors staring at a computer screen while living in beautiful Miami. (As I'm originally from cold & windy Chicago, palm trees, sand, dolphins & water this beautiful seemed so exotic to me, these beach houses were mythical, a dream almost, not real...)

Now I'm in semi-retirement, and keeping busy helping vacationers find and enjoy the amazing "Treasure Coast" area of Southeast Florida, and the incredible towns of Stuart, Jensen Beach and Ft. Pierce . . . Sharing the dream!

Why they chose this property

The property is located a few minutes east of city of Stuart, in Martin County, Florida.

What is Stuart like? Are you old enough to remember TV's "Andy Griffith" show? Locals call Stuart the"Mayberry of Florida".

And there's more: Our ocean-to-river beach houses are like almost none other in the entire United States. There are only 60 or so houses in America like BHIP houses: (directly on the ocean, directly on a wide river, private deeded access to the river, and ocean access through through an inlet just minutes away, and warm weather year-round). Plus: Our homes are located within a one-hour drive of the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale/West Palm Beach metropolitan area and within a 2-hour drive of Orlando, Disney World and other popular attractions and destinations. And the local private airport -- Witham Field in Martin County -- is just a few miles away, with long runways that accommodate both private prop aircraft and jet aircraft. So you can drive in, fly in, or even boat in!

Gorgeous location. The perfect seaside town. Pristine waters and wildlife. ON the Atlantic beach. Close to the best of Florida (From Orlando and the theme parks, to Miami & Palm Beach, in less than two hours). And convenient to international airports. (Palm Beach International less than one hour away).

What makes this property unique

Struggling to set the timer on the Microwave? Not sure how to get the Hot Tub warmed up? Myself and other BHIP staff live in the neighborhood, and are always just a few minutes away should you need anything or experience any trouble.
