Aquarius North: 7BR/5BA luxury beach house w/ heated pool + spa, dock & more!

HAVE IT ALL — Live/Work/Play/Relax at your very own private luxury waterfront 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 riverfront 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 waterfront 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, 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 waterfront vacation rentals.

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

As an astrological sign, Aquarius is the bearer of water, the giver and sustainer of life. And so it is with this water-rich beach house! Let "Aquarius North" infuse your life—and those of your family or group—with its countless water pleasures, including riverfront heated swimming pool and spa, private boat dock, floating jet ski dock/walkway, direct private beach access (the Atlantic Ocean is literally across the street), complementary water toys, fishing gear, snorkel , bicycles, putting green, and more.

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.")

With 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, Aquarius is one of several luxury five-star properties operated by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in offering 5-star luxury, amenities and service in sunny waterfront settings.

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.

Need a bigger house? No problem! The neighboring home directly to the south is "Aquarius South" featuring 10 bedrooms, 6 baths. (See VRBO listing ID# 3116784) Need even *more* space? Also not a problem: You can rent both Aquarius North and Aquarius South together (17BR/11BA) in a single "super size" reservation. We call the two-home property "Aquarius Resort". (See VRBO listing ID# 3137824 )

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities and accommodations at an affordable price (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget!)

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.

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".



WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT OUR AREA (Stuart, FL):

* USA Today: #1 Best Coastal Small Town in America (2024 winner)
* Coastal Living Magazine: #1 Happiest Seaside Town in America (2016)
* House Beautiful Magazine: #1 Most Beautiful Small Town in 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? Aquarius 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.)



About sand fleas & mosquitos: These outdoor pests sometimes visit "Wild" coastal Florida, too! Recently, the homeowner installed a property-wide MosquitoNix misting system that provides relief from stinging pests on the property and poolside (push-button mist-on-demand controls).



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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private balcony.

Experience Beyond Paradise!
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!

The Age of Aquarius
This is the second time we have stayed at this property and we absolutely love it! It was a large family vacation with all ages represented. There was so much for everyone to do! The location on the river and across the street from the beach/ocean provided many options for the gang. some went to the beach. Some kayaked on the river or stayed at the house and enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The ping pong table and putting green also were a source of great entertainment. This property has it all! Flying into Palm Beach International airport made it an easy commute. We cannot recommend this highly enough. You won't be disappointed if you stay here - especially if you are a large family looking for something for everyone!

Great Vacation Property!
Aquarius North is a fantastic rental home. The location is great with the river (and dock), the pool, and the beach right there. A major bonus is all the extras that come with the rental - outside there are kayaks, paddleboards, ping pong, putting green, bikes, pool and beach toys, and so many more. Inside the house was so well stocked with staples such as coffee and tea, condiments, many cooking and serving pieces, and also beach towels and toiletries. A bonus for us was the high chairs and pack and plays which are also provided! The service from Al Roberts and his staff is exceptional. We have stayed in several Beach House in Paradise properties, and have loved them all.

This is our second time staying in the house. Everything was wonderful as expected. The house is beyond stocked, clean, very minimal check out procedures. The pool and beach were so much fun for the kids. We had one minor issue with the pool/jacuzzi heating that was our own fault and Al had the problem fixed immediately.

We had the best week in paradise! The house was big enough to accommodate all of us. So many fun things to do with all of the toys, pool, hot tub and beach. Getting the the beach was an easy walk, The sunsets were spectacular as well! It was nice to have family meals there and not have to go out all of the time. We are already trying to plan our next week in this house! The only negative would be the apartment area. It does have a smell to it, but we still used it.

Great home in a great location. Perfect family vacation. Really a nice design for big groups and well stocked for big groups. Our whole family really enjoyed our time at the home! Our low rating is not due to the home, amenities, location etc. Totally due to the communication of the property manager leading up to the rental and post rental. Very poor communication.
