About this property

La Dolce Vita: Big Beach House w/ elevator & heated pool! DIRECTLY ON BEACH

DISCOUNTS are available to most renters! (see details below). Pay less than $100/night per bedroom.

HAVE IT ALL — Live, work, play, and unwind at your own private ocean-to-river beach house. Step away from the crowds and step into a world where luxury meets seclusion—just you, the sand, the sea, and the people who matter most.

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.

Need to stay connected? Unlike most rentals, this beach house is equipped with blazing-fast, gigabit-speed, commercial-grade Wi-Fi—secure and strong enough for 4K movie nights, Zoom calls from the sand, or homework on the dock.

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. It's all there, and it's all free (no surcharges or rental fees).

Property Manager Al Roberts (thousands of 5-star reviews) lives in the neighborhood, and is always just a text or phone call away. Al & his team: Always available, but never intrusive.

Escape. Recharge. Connect. Welcome to your beachfront paradise!

SPOTLESSLY CLEAN — We meet & exceed all safety measures & best practices specified by the CDC & FL Dept of Health. We utilize hospital-grade cleaning & disinfectant standards, and stock your home with cleaning supplies, alcohol, hand sanitizer & 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).

Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, and there's even room to park your trailer. RV? room for that too!

REVIEWS: Read our reviews, and see how families and 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 and read all of our five-star VRBO reviews for BHIP beach houses just like this one.

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.)



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.

Very nice location

Very nice stay, even with some plumbing issues that were addressed by Al promptly. Thank you!! Though I wish I knew that there is only outside stairs to go up and down between the 2 floors (other than the elevator which is not to be used by kids). Nice property but tight for 11 adults and 5 kids. Luckily we had that maximum for only 2 nights

Memorial Weekend Getaway

Our group of 8 adults and 4 children had an absolute blast at La Dolce Vita! The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need and was located in a very safe area. Al was great and quick to respond to any questions we had. I would recommend any families with kids make sure they are sleeping in one of the two primary bedrooms upstairs as the two primary bedrooms downstairs are in the garage/a bit detached from the main house. We would highly recommend La Dolce Vita!!

Amazing property/Great Management

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 family had a fabulous time. Dolphins swimming in your backyard everyday. Turtles nesting, beautiful beach with thousands of shells. Fishing off the dock with shrimp we caught at least 18 fish. The house is open great kitchen set up. Sunrises were beautiful. It worked great for our wedding and our kid’s birthday. Plus my husbands. If you have the opportunity stay at this rental.

Great Family Vacation

Beautiful house with spacious main level. Loved having two family rooms for tv viewing and spreading out. We rent a house for 2 weeks for our family vacation every year and have never been in one as well stocked as this one! It has everything you need. We brought our boat so having the large dock across the street was a big plus. Ocean views are incredible; don’t miss the rooftop deck which is perfect for sunning and watching the sun rise and set. House is close to a busy road but most drivers were very courteous; the road could definitely use some speed bumps and flashing lights to slow the speeders. Walking/biking path begins at this property and goes north for several miles which is a big advantage over other homes on this road. We had a couple of very minor issues which were addressed by Al within minutes. Great host and house; highly recommend this property.

If you have kids....

Anyone with kids should know that the downstairs is quite separate. There are no interior stairs going between the floors. The upstairs is really nice, the downstairs is not nearly as nice. Beach was awesome! The kids labeled the bunk bed room as "the asylum." It was not a very nice room... But, we had a great time and the property was super-clean and the checkout process was delightful.

Stress-free at the beach!

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 rented the house for a family vacation, which then turned into a place for our small wedding reception. The house is great, very spacious and take it serious when you read “fully stocked”, it really does have everything you could possibly need besides personal clothes and groceries. Everyone had so much fun with the paddle boards! The beach is very clean but the water in front of the house very rocky, so it’s great that they have water shoes, as it hurt to step in barefoot. The plus side of that is that makes it a great environment for the fish and it’s a great place for snorkeling. If you’d like a less rocky ocean, just walk a bit about 100 ft and it’s a rock free shore! There was a lot of mosquitos, due to the bay, so make sure to always apply bug spray on the evening. Our family had a blast, and we will definitely be returning. Overall this place will forever hold a place in our hearts and memory!

The perfect location for fishing and fun

This was the most beautiful house/location we’ve ever stayed. The boardwalk into the mangroves to a private dock felt like our own nature preserve. The beach on the other side was like a private oasis. There was plenty of space for everyone in our group to have a great time together or sneak away for a little privacy. The host was easy to get ahold of and provided excellent info about the area in the document he sent ahead of our trip.

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".

Check out these awards recently garnered by Stuart and Martin County FL:

USA Today: #1 Best Coastal Small Town in America (2024 winner)
Coastal Living Magazine: #1 Happiest Seaside Town in America (2016)

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.

What makes this property unique

The property: One of the only Ocean-to-River beach houses in the entire USA to have a built-in concrete indoor/outdoor heated pool + private elevator + private dock.

The management: 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.
