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 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 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)

This was one of the coolest houses we have stayed at. So many fun things to do. The garage was fully stocked with all the beach stuff and bikes. Definitely made the trip so fun! Would love to come stay here again.
This is a great vacation home! Al was wonderful to work with. The home offered many water toys for the kids and adults alike. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee, spices, dishes and we were even provided beach towels and chairs! If they could update the mattresses this place would be perfect!

Thank you for your five-star review!
I wish you'd have mentioned any discomfort with mattresses during your stay. We connected about so many other things durring your stay (eg., sheets for the pak-n-play, lock on the front door got a little loose, etc, -- but you never mentioned any discomfort with the beds.
When we see you next year, just let me know ... Our rapid response unit has access to new mattresses (in all sizes and firmness levels), mattress pads, toppers you name it ... and I can get those to you within the hour and even remake the bed (especially during daytime hours)
Until next year . . . .
: - )
Aquarius North was the perfect spot for our spring break with 3 families and 8 kids between 5 and 12. The house is a little older but everything worked well and it is amazingly stocked. The host, Al was very communicative and helpful and we didn’t have any problems.
Our group had an all around great experience! Our host was extremely helpful and transparent on what to expect from the point of booking and up thru our stay. Details were tastefully thought of to make our stay more enjoyable than we had expected. Highly recommend this property or at a minimum this rental group for your next trip!
Great stay for the whole family. 9 Adults and 8 children was a little cramped but we made it work! The property is in an amazing location and the amenities are incredible. You literally only need your clothes and groceries. Everything else you can imagine is there. I would definitely go back
Had a great time. So many things supplied for us that were amazing. The only thing was the location was a little different than the video advertisement. I thought the area was a little more secluded with little traffic. The street appeared to be like a beach town street. The road was very dangerous actually. People really sped through and there were turns that gave blind spots. So riding bikes was out of the question also I had thought we could rent a golf cart, but that also was out of the question also due to the speeding on that road. Other than that, it was the best choice and stay. We spent most of the time on the river and in the pool or playing the games as well.

Thank you for your kind five-star review. I'm so glad to read that you enjoyed your stay!
I wish you had said something to me during your stay, concerning traffic on that road that fronts the home. There was a hurricane brewing 1,000 miles offshore, so the waves were starting to kick up and all the local surfers started descending upon the area. (I'll bet the concern was your elderly mother needing to take her time crossing the street getting to the beach)
When traffic kicks up, we have a lot of tricks up our sleeve, and we can help out and make a difference (if asked). We work with the local sheriff's department and can also get temporary traffic calming devices and signs posted, to help motorists slow down.
Glad to see that you've already booked next year's stay, so we'll see you next year!
This is our 5th Beach Rental and as usual, everything was top notch and we had the best time. Al is super accommodating and we love coming and enjoying a relaxing beach vacation!!
Pack whatever you plan to wear, buy some groceries and you’re set. Everything you need for vacation is in the home. Great pool, kayaks and paddle boards.
Every year we stay at a different BHIP property and we are never disappointed.
Al and his team are the best hosts we have ever stayed with.
Book this house or any other BHIP rental and know that everything you could possibly need is most likely included
Professionally managed property from start to finish.
If you want a care free get-a-way this is the place to go.
Spotlessly clean and every toy and activity for all ages is provided on site.
We had a great stay at Aquarius, total of 17 of us with ages ranging from 8 months to 75 years old. Plenty of room for all. The property is great, with everything you could possibly need for a great beach vacation.
We wanted a quiet and relaxing getaway for my mom's birthday and that is exactly what we got. The property was spotless and incredibly beautiful. My family couldn't stop raving about this property and how awesome it was. The host's attention to detail is immaculate making us feel like a 5 star guest.
No complaints here, would definitely come back!
First- all the previous reviews are accurate. The house was clean, well-stocked, and instructions and information thoughtfully placed throughout the house. The property manager responded to communication quickly, and minor issues dealt with immediately.
Aquarius South is a delightful property, offering space and privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!
This house and location was more than expected! Everything was perfect from cleanliness, supplies, location, and more! If we needed anything, or their was a problem, it was addressed and fixed within the hour! My entire family and their children had the most amazing stay and memories! Thank you!
This was our second stay in a property owned by Beach House In Paradise. The houses are always clean and stocked with everything you need to have a wonderful time. Al is always very responsive when I have reached out to him and the pool and cleaning team are always great. I have already booked another trip with them for next year at a different property. Maybe I will try all of there properties 😂

About the host
Hosted by Al Roberts, Property Manager at Beach Houses in Paradise
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/manatees/sea turtles ... and water this beautiful ... it all seemed so exotic to me, these beach houses seemed mythical, a dream almost, not real...)
Now that I'm semi-retired, I enjoy "putting butts in beach houses" . . . helping vacationers, families and groups 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".

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 -- offers a U.S. Customs facility and 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).
