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, wipes, 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.

ABOUT AVALON:

With its ocean location, heated private swimming pool, hot tub, private dock—and the best master suite of any of our homes—everything is NEW at this 8BR/5BA palace on the Atlantic: New toys, new appliances, new furniture & furnishings & more.

Avalon means "earthly paradise". According to Celtic legend, it's a stunning pristine European island with magical healing powers, comforting waters & gentle breezes. (Camelot's King Arthur retreated to Avalon's mystical sanctuary after being injured in battle, so he could restore his health and rejuvenate before his next adventure.)

Avalon will restore your spirits, revive your relationships, & refresh your family/group with memories that last a lifetime.

Highlights: Incredible 360-degree water views w/floor-to-ceiling windows, private dock, heated oceanfront pool, 6-person jacuzzi hot tub, 4-hole putting green, incredible master bedroom suite, oversized parking for RVs & boat trailers, TWO beaches (one on the ocean, another on the river) & more.

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.")

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). Avalon is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers.

With 100 linear feet on both the ocean & river, oceanfront & riverfront recreation areas & more than 4000 square feet of indoor space & surrounding balconies, Avalon is among the largest & most lavishly appointed ocean-to-river beach houses available from BHIP.

Avalon sits alone on a private beach in a quiet residential area—no condos, high rises or large public beaches for miles. (No crowds, just a beach all to yourself.) The Atlantic Ocean is right off your back porch; the surf so close that you can toss a BBQ shrimp towards the dolphins from the oceanfront grill).

Plus: Across the street lies your *other* private beach—and your own 200-foot-long private boating & fishing dock on the pristine Indian River—offering some of the best fishing in the world. (Enjoy our complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, boogie boards, fishing poles & tackle, metal detectors & more.)

Own a boat or a jet ski? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, and there's plenty of room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp just 1 mile away). RVs? Room for them, too!

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!

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".

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.)
