It's newly outfitted with 4K TVs, water toys, private heated oceanfront swimming pool, oceanfront hot tub, new appliances & furniture, high-speed business-class Wi-Fi & more.

FITNESS / TENNIS / PICKLEBALL / GOLF & MORE SWIMMING POOLS: While the ocean & river are fun, and the home's private heated pool & soothing jacuzzi hot tub are also a blast, some outdoor fanatics still want MORE: So, with your stay of 1 week or longer, the owner includes FREE complimentary passes to 3 resort-style pools at the nearby Ocean Club @ the Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort, conveniently located just 1 mile north of the home.

(They were always available, but never intrusive)." — VIDEOS, 3D TOURS, FLOOR PLANS & MORE: Want a closer look at Carpe Diem? 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) — ALL-INCLUSIVE (EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED) From bicycles to beach blankets, towels to toilet paper, paddleboards to picnic baskets, & 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 & see for yourself) Many vacation rentals don't provide you such basics as towels, bed linens, toiletries, or cooking essentials like salt, pepper, spices, oils & other basic staples. But we do! 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 & 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 you can relax the very 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, all that comes free with your rental. There are no hidden surcharges, fines or penalties. — 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.

The array of sporting goods was unbelievable as well: we took advantage of the paddle boards, the kayaks and the fishing equipment for the older ones. All of us used the snorkeling gear at nearby Bathtub Reef Beach, where we also appreciated the umbrellas and chairs. Thanks to Al and his team for being available any time to answer questions and replace batteries. I also would like to thank the owners for the use of their wonderful home. ##### Barbara F.

We have bounced this trip around to different locations over past years but have decided to make this our home for the trip for the foreseeable future exclusively because of “Carpe Diem”. It is very difficult to find a house big enough to comfortably fit 12 adults but this house is incredibly spacious. Everything you would ever need is in the house from pantry stockings to coffee machines with coffee provided to a blender and a juicer to any type of battery you could possibly need. Outside provides even more with every piece of beach gear you could imagine such as a wagon, nets, poles, water shoes of all sizes, coolers, you name it. An awesome putting green, endless balconies, hot tub and grill also compliment the outdoors. The views on both sides are incredible as well. Waking up to the sounds of the Atlantic Ocean outside of a sliding glass door at sunrise is like a dream. By far the best short term rental house I have ever stayed in. The communication from Al is spot on as well and the discounts offered for repeat visitors are also incredible. 10/10 ##### Bryan D.

On one side you have the ocean on the other you have the bay we had family ranging in age from less than two to over 80 and everyone had a wonderful time. The addition of the resort pass to the Marriott was great. We used it frequently to go to the beach as well as to go to the pool. Gave us a lot of options. The house was really well stocked and everything was very nice. Highly recommend. ![Sunrise from the master bedroom ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9ec58b39-98de-43ca-abef-5f9d63a691d3-1753556930231.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of the ocean from the deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/953ce833-fc6f-4be2-b9db-ebef2a8a99f2-1753556930505.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sunset over the Intercoastal](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/920cd169-2e1d-4c33-8342-61349f54632f-1753556930472.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diane C.

We have never stayed anywhere that comes close to offering what we experienced at Carpe Diem. There is nothing, and I mean nothing that isn't supplied for the entire family! They even had diapers and wipes for our 18 month old granddaughter. I brought all kinds of things thinking "they won't have this". Well guess what? They had it. So make your reservation, pack only your clothes, and get ready for an amazing time here. We will absolutely be back! :) ##### Janet C.

The kitchen had everything you could ever need and all the water fun equipment was provided. Al was immediately responsive to our questions & requests. We were blessed with a full week of sun & warm weather. One of our favorite things was kayaking & paddleboarding in the inner coastal among manatees & rays. Great Thanksgiving week! ##### Sharon T.

The house was clean and well stocked and even had surprises for the kids! Upon arrival things were setup and in place specifically for our family i.e. baby bassinet and monitors(even though we brought our own)! We did not have to search for any convenient items. Would highly recommend staying at any of the BHIP properties. Our family was in town for a funeral despite the circumstances had a really nice time thanks to the BHIP team. In the future we will plan a vacation to stay with BHIP. ##### Philip Z.

We all had plenty of space and facilities. The home was well appointed and far exceeded our expectations. There were plenty of activities from kayaks and paddle boards to board games. Every room had a big TV and we had lots of seats for dining. Our host was very attentive and responded quickly to our communication. Highly recommend this location for a large group. We would have stayed for a few days after the kids left but it was booked. Hope to make this an annual event. ##### Penny H.

The kids were too busy to wine about a thing and never once said they were bored. The adults got to relax and throw food at them. AMAZING the thought and the detail that went into making sure every need was met. We all had our own space when needed and were comfortable. Hung out on the ocean side deck mostly, but also spent a great deal of time on the river and caught fish from the dock, loved the kayak and paddle board. We saw manatee, dolphin, sting ray, manta ray and a couple of crows trying to steal stuff off our table when nobody was there....they like Doritos. The bathtub beach was just a short walk and so worth it. Got re-married on the beach with all my kids and grand-kids and made beautiful memories for a lifetime. This place was just plain "perfect" for us and can't imagine anyone complaining about a single thing. I stay in a lot of rentals by owners and can tell you that is highly unusual to have a good fry pay in any of them (it's expected) and this place had the BEST cookware- surprise!!!. Correspondence was great and when a storm knocked out the internet, it took us a bit to realize, because we were too busy having fun, but Al was right on top of it as soon as we told him and got it fixed fast. Best Property manager I've had with quick response time and full of information that made this so much easier to manage with a group of 14 of us. This trip was a dream come true for us. Thank you so much for this! ##### Lori K.
