HAVE IT ALL — Live, work, play, and unwind at your own private oceanfront 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 or homework from the sand.

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!

ABOUT THE HOME:

*** DIRECT-OCEANFRONT FLORIDA ESTATE/Château ***

Luxury and elegance in flip flops? Absolutely! (This is seaside Florida, after all). Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need 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! ("We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")

Representing a new milestone in luxury five-star accommodations, "Château de la Mer" (Château on the Sea) is now available to you and your family or group.

Château de la Mer is a sparkling 9BR/6BA gated beachfront estate that boasts a heated private oceanfront pool, private elevator, oceanfront hot tub and all the high-end luxury touches and finishes found only in the very finest oceanfront estates in America.

This exclusive oceanfront gated estate is nestled between sun-soaked Jensen Beach Florida and "America's Happiest Seaside City", Stuart FL. (Coastal Living Magazine, 2016 national award winner). The Château has never before been available to the public. We are proud to be associated with this Southeast Florida landmark that sets a new standard in BHIP elegance and luxe vacation living. The home is situated on a private beach in a quiet residential area—there are no condo high rises or hotel/resorts for miles. (No crowds, just a beach all to yourself & your group).

With 9 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms (including several bedroom suites with private en-suite bathrooms), this stylish retreat is packed with features & toys to delight everyone in your family group, across all ages.

And you can't beat the price: 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.) Note: This beach house is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.

Own a boat? Bring it! There's room to park your trailer, and plenty of public boat ramps nearby.

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: Château de la Mer is one of several luxury five-star properties operated by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in offering five-star luxury, amenities & service in sunny 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 near 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 13 ADULTS? Château de la Mer 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.)



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 area is considered among the most biologically rich & environmentally sensitive 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. These are protected species. The offshore marine patrol prosecutes aggressively.

* Please clean up after a successful day fishing. Discard all hooks, line & litter.

Great location. Rapid service. Plenty of supplies. Perfect view.

Our group of three families had a wonderful time. The house was equipped with everything. We could advantageously avoid packing coolers, beach towels, shade tents, etc. The pool was a perfect temperature and acted as a shaded reprieve for the little kids. And the morning view from the property was stunning.
