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.
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".

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 MistAway misting system that provides relief from stinging pests on the property and poolside (push-button mist-on-demand controls).

HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE AREA
The river is considered among the most biologically rich & environmentally sensitive estuary in North America.
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.

We had another great stay on the island. This is our third year renting from BHiP, and this was our favorite house yet. The beach area is amazing for kids, with all the water toys you could want. The house has a nice layout for large families. We would definitely rent again.
This home was amazing...every detail is thought of! They even had baby motrin which my 1 year old grandson needed. (Hes cutting his "I" teeth.) Perfect location... will rent again!!!
This is a fantastic property for families with young children. The glass surround at the pool makes a safe and wonderful play area for the kids. The beach area is perfect, shallow, warm, and protected from the wind.
The best part of our stay was the easy availability of sports equipment to enjoy both the water and the shore outdoors and to cool off indoors with a game of darts/pingpong/foosball.
Amazing house and everything you could possibly want or need. The kids had the best time finding little creatures in the river. Pool and spa were nice and warm which was nice for the couple of cool days we had. We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our fall break. This property was amazing
Great house to rent for big family. Very good company to do business with, good communication and if there was an issue (we had one small issue), they jumped right on it. I would recommend this company, the house and would rent from them again.
We have stayed at several VRBOs over the past 15 years and we have never had at experience like we did at Aquarius South. It was absolutely amazing. The house, location and activities were top knotch. We were surprised with the amount of amenities at the house. We are going to plan a trip back soon!
Summer vacation with kids. Aquarius South was truly amazing trip! The communication was perfection, the house was clean and completely stocked with anything you’ll ever need. We love eating out on vacation, but the view.. the dock.. and the firepit on the beach kept us home cooking every night so we could enjoy every moment. A+. We saw Manatees, Sea Turles and tons of Jelly fish… great location and worth every penny! Hope to be back soon!
This house had everything you can think of and was by far the best appointed Rental house we have ever stayed in. Our crew had SO much fun in the house/ pool/dock, entertaining the kids was a piece of cake. The only advice I would give is: if you take out the water toys/boats, go upstream first! The current is strong!
Property was simply outstanding! We can ’t say enough about it! We had 9 adults and 11 children - plenty of room for everyone. We gave this trip to our kids/grandkids for Christmas 2024. Great fishing off the dock, pool was secure with only one entry- wonderful when watching littles- plenty of space to play outside, fun water toys, excellent access to Atlantic Ocean across the street, etc. The house was completely stocked and ready for our large group.… there were welcome baskets in the cribs complete with diapers, and baby accessories. I could go on and on!!
WOW....I really dont have words to say how awesome it is to work with Beach Houses in Paradise. You can literally show up with shorts and a shirt and be good for a week. These places have everything! When they say pack light, take em serious! Thanks Al and Beach Houses in Paradise! 5 Families of non stop fun and memories. 151st Street Jupiter Florida!
This was the ideal property for our family reunion and had everything we needed. The house was clean and well stocked with things you would expect, but even had things you’d never expect to find at a vacation rental. Lots of games and outdoor toys for all ages were there. Al even got high chairs and portable cribs for the babies. He was super responsive and made sure all of our needs were addressed. We love this location because of the quiet neighborhood and safe surroundings. Also, easy access to the river and the beach allowed us to have lots of time in the water. We will definitely consider this property for future reunions.
Spent July 4th Holiday with our family ranging in age of 83 years to 5 months. There was literally something for everyone in this home.
House is completely stocked…believe the other reviews and only bring your clothes and order your groceries! Great touch with even supplying paper goods, besides the condiments, coffee, teas, spices and the emergency kits in every bathroom…WOW! But the best part was all the water toys, supplies, etc.
Beautiful home, beautiful views! Thank you!
Our experience at Aquarius South was absolutely amazing!! Our first impression of the property was how incredibly clean and well stocked it was! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals for our family of 17. The outside was so impressive with all the toys,games, fishing equipment, bikes and water toys for all ages .
The communication with ou host,Al,was beyond our expectations!! We had some issues with the heating of our pool and Al had technicians out to house within 30 minutes! The week we spent there was truly amazing. Thank you for making this trip so memorable and special to our family!!!
The communication with our host A,
Wow. This property lacked nothing. I only wish that I had believed it, I would not have packed some things.
This house is stocked beyond my highest expectations. A trip to the grocery store and that was it! We really did not have to go anywhere else. Location is everything and this was everything. Outside all of the time. The river, the ocean, the pool, sandbar, fishing, water toys. It was the best.
Thank you so much!
Next time we will be more diligent with the bug spray (which was kindly provided). Those darn no-see-ems.
Our family has been taking a winter vacation for years to Florida. We typically stay on the gulf side but this year we choose this home because of all it had to offer. Typically you have to pay extra for kayaks, bikes, buy all the supplies needed such and toiletries and other basic needs that this home came stocked with. The best part was not having to pay extra for the pool heat and then having it still not be warm. This pool was perfect and the hot tub was alway hot! My dad, husband and kids could spend the whole day fishing off the dock. They caught so many awesome fish and once they figured out they bite best when fishing with the frozen shrimp bought from the store close to the house it was all they wanted to do! The room were all great there was 8 of us so more rooms than we needed. Everything was GREAT!!!
Another great family vacation at Aquarius South. Al and the whole BHIP team always succeed in giving us a great experience. Don’t hesitate these people won’t let you down. We’ve stayed with them five years running and will be back again.
What a beautiful property set on the Indian River! Birds & fish of many varieties, dolphin, manatees - everyday brought something new!! The house truly has everything you may possibly need to relax and restore your peace of mind! The River was so much more calm than the oceanfront! We all loved it!!
This house has spoiled us for future VRBO rentals. It is BY FAR the best stocked house we have ever rented…from the kitchen to the outdoor activities, to towels and linens it was impressive. The area is beautiful, we watched a SpaceX launch from the beach, saw sea turtle tracks every morning on the beach, had a family fishing tournament off the pier (and caught at least 12 species of fish). I could go on and on, but we all are already talking about a return trip next year, we could not have been more pleased!
