Beachfront Lifestyle & Community Amenities
Residents enjoy a heated community pool just steps from the townhome. The Dunes Club community offers resort-style perks including a sparkling heated pool and direct private beach access for residents. It’s a smaller, quaint townhouse community – only 18 units share these amenities, lending an atmosphere of privacy and exclusivity. You’re literally a 30-second walk from your door to the sand or the pool deck, so an ocean swim or pool dip can easily become part of your daily routine. After a day of sunbathing or beachcombing, rinse off and relax on the poolside loungers as gentle sea breezes rustle the palms.
Hutchinson Island itself boasts 23 miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches to explore, making it a paradise for beach lovers. From this townhome, you can stroll down your community’s private dune crossover to a quiet stretch of sand that feels like your own. The Atlantic Ocean is your playground – go for a morning beach walk, catch the sunrise over the water, or cast a fishing line from shore. For boaters and anglers, Stuart is famously dubbed the “Sailfish Capital of the World,” offering world-class offshore fishing opportunities just off the coast.
If you crave even more activity, optional club memberships are available at the Marriott Hutchinson Island Beach Resort (adjacent to the Dunes Club). Residents can join the Marriott’s Ocean Club to enjoy an 18-hole golf course, full-service marina, tennis courts, a beachfront tiki bar, and a shuttle service around the resort. In other words, you can have a country club experience – golf, boating, dining and social events – right in your neighborhood (membership is not mandatory, only if you choose). This added perk elevates the lifestyle here to true resort-level luxury.
Nearby Attractions & Activities.
One of the joys of this location is that you’re not just getting a beautiful home – you’re also minutes away from some of Stuart’s best attractions, dining, and recreation. Whether you seek outdoor adventure, local culture, or fine dining, you’ll find it nearby. Here are a few notable nearby attractions and activities that highlight the upscale beachside appeal of this property:
• Bathtub Reef Beach: Only about a 5-minute drive up the island, this beloved local beach is famous for its unique offshore reef that creates a calm “bathtub” lagoon. The natural reef acts as a breakwater, forming shallow, gentle waters ideal for snorkeling and families with young kids. Colorful marine life thrives here, making it a snorkeler’s dream on calm days. It’s a safe, fun spot for children to splash around and see tropical fish in the wild. (You can literally watch snorkelers and small children enjoying the protected waters during low tide.)
• Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center: Situated just across from Bathtub Beach, about 5 minutes away, this 57-acre marine life nature center is a must-visit for nature lovers. The center features walking nature trails through lush coastal habitats and a network of interactive exhibits. Highlights include a massive 750,000-gallon Game Fish Lagoon, a Sea Turtle Pavilion, stingray touch tanks, and the brand-new Ocean EcoCenter showcasing Florida’s unique coastal ecosystems. It’s an educational and fun attraction where you can feed stingrays, learn about local sea turtles, and enjoy family-friendly programs.
• Elliott Museum: Just down the road (a few blocks north on NE Ocean Blvd), you’ll find the Elliott Museum – a cultural gem of Hutchinson Island. This modern museum focuses on art, history, and technology, and is famed for its extensive collection of vintage automobiles and Americana. Inside, you can marvel at classic cars (over 90 vehicles, including one of the largest collections of Model A/AA trucks) displayed in a unique robotic racking system. The museum also features galleries of local history, baseball memorabilia, antique boats, artwork, and even an early 1900s pioneer house exhibit. It’s a perfect rainy-day activity or a break from the beach, blending culture with history just minutes from home.
• Boating & Fishing: Living on Hutchinson Island means you’re surrounded by water – the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Indian River Lagoon on the other. For anglers, Stuart’s waters are legendary. In fact, Stuart is known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World”due to the abundance of sailfish offshore. You can easily charter a deep-sea fishing excursion from nearby marinas to test your skills against marlin, sailfish, mahi and more. If you prefer calmer waters, the Intracoastal waterways are ideal for boating, kayaking or paddle-boarding. The Indian River Lagoon offers miles of mangrove-lined channels teeming with wildlife (dolphins, manatees, birds, etc.). Several marina facilities and boat rental services are within a 10-15 minute drive, making it convenient to dock a boat or book a fishing trip and fully embrace the coastal lifestyle.
• Dining & Downtown Stuart: When you’re ready for a night out or a change of pace, a quick trip over the causeway (10–15 minutes by car) brings you to Historic Downtown Stuart. The charm of this historic waterfront downtown is undeniable, with the beauty of the St. Lucie River just feet away from over 50 locally-owned shops, restaurants and galleries. Stroll the riverwalk boardwalk, browse boutique shops, or dine at one of many excellent restaurants – from fresh seafood spots to upscale bistros. You can enjoy a sunset dinner at a waterfront restaurant like Sailor’s Return or TideHouse, or grab a casual bite at a local tiki bar. Many eateries feature live music and outdoor seating, embodying the laid-back yet vibrant vibe of Stuart. Notably, Coastal Living Magazine named Stuart “America’s Happiest Seaside Town” in 2016 thanks to its friendly small-town atmosphere and scenic beauty. From weekly open-air concerts to a popular Sunday farmer’s market, downtown Stuart offers a delightful dose of community life to complement your peaceful island retreat.
