ABOUT GEMINI BEACH:
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.")
True to its astrological namesake, Gemini, "the twins", means double the fun. Here, you’ll enjoy a rare dual experience: two picture-perfect private beaches (one on the ocean, and one on the river), plus twin heated pools to match. Sun on one shore, splash in the other, or drift between them like a local. It’s paradise, doubled.
This 5-star home began welcoming its first guests in August 2020. It sits directly atop the ocean dune, a literal stone's throw from the Atlantic Ocean surf. 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, heated swimming pool, & private dockside riverfront paradise.
Margaritaville! Relax in your own "Jimmy Buffet"-style beachside bungalow, with 3 King Bedroom Suites, each with private en-suite baths. The house is packed with fun features, stocked to the nines, & complete with everything you need for a turnkey beach-house vacation. Gemini Beach will delight everyone in your family or group, across all ages.
Boasting water views from every window, Gemini is a historical landmark: Built to last forever & weather even the worst hurricanes, it was the first home constructed in the area. The fortress is the only area home to survive every major hurricane in living memory. The interior was fully renovated in Summer 2020 with all-new appliances & furnishings, while the exterior's historic & rustic character has been carefully preserved.
At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities & accommodations at an affordable price (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget!) Note: Gemini is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.
Situated on a private beach in a quiet residential area, there are no condos, high rises or large public beaches for miles. (No crowds, just a beach all to yourself & your group). The ocean is right off your back porch. And across the street is your own 100-foot-long private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, & stocked with all your favorite water toys (complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, aqua cycle, fishing poles & tackle & more)
Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, & there's even room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp just 1 mile away). RV? Room for that too! There's so much parking—on both sides of the street—there's room for multiple RVs & boats!

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.
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)

We had a great and relaxing stay at Gemini Beach. House and location are just perfect. Great communication with very short reply times. We wll come again and again book with BHIP!
Loved the location, plenty of room for my entire growing family! Home was well stocked with supplies and beach toys. Loved the Sandy beach on the bay and firepit.
This was our second stay at Gemini Beach and it was another great family vacation. There is so much to do for the entire family and the house is well stocked with daily essentials.
This home has everything you can imagine, you truly can just show up. This is a great spot short walk to local beaches and very pet friendly. We will be back!
Everything about this experience was fantastic! The communication with the property manager, the property itself, the amenities, everything! Very highly recommend.

Beautiful house on the Ocean. House stocked with everything. Beautiful view from the porch. Niced vacation rental I'v ever stayed. Our group of 12 were super comfortable.
Our entire family, ages 13 through 78 had an incredible vacation! The home is exactly as pictured and the description was spot on. The amenities at the house provide hours of entertainment and the location is perfect with a beach and river side. Al, our host, was great and we really appreciated the special touch to help celebrate our parents 56th anniversary. We’ve stayed at several homes over the years and we will definitely book again with Al.
It is so close to the ocean. We loved having our morning coffee and evening drinks just watching the ocean on the front porch. Saw the dolphins every day. Pool on both sides was amazing! Our guys fished from the dock on the river side every day! Master bedrooms were on the main level which was so good for us seniors. Gemini Beach was so perfect!
The house is clean & has great amenities! It’s Florida weather worn but everything was in working order. The host/manager was amazing & supplies whatever you need. When it says it is supplied that did mean you don’t need to buy basic condiments, cooking supplies or coffee. Most will give a day or so of those items to get you going but they had plenty for the week. Having both the Atlantic side & River side was perfect for the kids. We tied a boat up to the dock for a couple days. Overall, this was a great place for our family of 12.
No words to describe how this property exceeded any expectation we had coming in for our family vacation! They have thought of everything and have everything and anything you could think of, may have forgotten or simply didn’t think of. Steps from the ocean, private river front and dock. Basically, it was a small piece of heaven perfect for our family vacation! 1,000/10 rating. We will be going back!
Everything was perfect with the exception of a few things.
Silver fish spotted in the bedroom top floor
No removable shower head except in Master
Sand fleas but thats part of being at the beach
Bathroom vents need to be dusted/cleaned
However with those few con’s we still rate it a 5 star due to the endless amenities and tons of quality linens! The location was also great for us! We truly enjoyed our stay and we will do it again!
Thank you!!
Surprise celebration -- steak dinner and photos at my brother & sister-in-law's house on Friday. Family beach day on Saturday featuring Nana's famous spaghetti for Lunch. It was an amazing weekend! Lots of fun was had by all -- kids and adults!
Gemini House is an awesome property -- it has it all! Inside is beautiful, very spacious and full of character with spectacular Ocean views! The location is perfect -- it is situated between the Ocean and Bay with access to both! No shortage of outside fun, from sun-bathing at the beach to kayaking in the bay - water toys galore, from kids to adults!! A full place for all! Can't wait to go back!
My extended family ranging from toddler to 80-somethings absolutely enjoyed our week long vacation staying at the Gemini Beach house and the next-door house. The houses was generously stocked with everything we needed to have the best time, the house itself was super comfortable with a great layout, and the location was excellent with access to both a gorgeous beach on the Atlantic side and a super fun play area with dock on the lagoon side. Both the pool by the house and the pool on the lagoon side were loved by everyone. In addition to the house being so wonderful, everything we could want or need was closeby within short driving distance. Best of all, the property manager was super responsive answering any questions or addressing any needs. 10 out of 10 we'd recommend Gemini Beach for a wonderful vacation!
We booked this house for a work retreat. The house was clean and well-stocked. Most of the bedrooms were on the main floor and the large bunk room was upstairs with an amazing panoramic view. The bedding was clean and comfortable and there were more than enough towels and dinnerware for everyone. My only regret was that we did not have time to use the water toys/equipment because of our meetings. Communication was prompt and clear. Check out was a breeze.
Family vacation with a variety of ages to entertain
We usually stay in Fort Myers Beach, however 2 years ago our condo was destroyed. We had to fond something quick last year and we stayed up near the pan handle. It was too cold.
This year, do to some changes our trip was booked last minute but we were always going to be going. We found availability at the MacArthur property and boy did it exceed our expectations. From every cute little detail of the property to all the things you "may forget". Gemini Beach House had it covered. Swim diapers, sun screen, a few waters to get you started. A welcoming basket. Beach towels galore. You have it at your home, theyve got it there. Wonderful, comfy feel.
Pros:fantastic access to both the ocean and river (private river beach).huge amount of toys-kayaks, fishing equipment, snorkeling, etc. way too many to even list. the kids didn't leave the area of the beach house because there was so much to do.well stocked kitchen and amenities-exce;t for 2 things.fantastic parking access. we had 3 large vechiles and had no problem with parking off the street. this is rare. a huge upstairs room for the older kidsexcellent directions posted on everythingCons:no air fryer. This is mandatory in this day and age-especially with childrenno tupperware to speak ofway too much clutter; beach decor is cute but it takes up space and we put most of it away so we could use the space. Get rid of the clutter!The pictures made it looks spacious and the number of people cited that the house could accommodate is misleading. The house could accommodate that many people if they didn't bring anything but a swim suit. I emailed Al Roberts before we left and I did not get a reply/acknowledgementalthough there were excellent directions on everything, there was nothing on the checkout process. for instance, we made sure the towels were washed, everything was picked up and put back where it belonged. we tried to leave the beachhouse in good shape.
The home was excellently equipped and perfect for a large family. We loved having access to the beach and river for activities. We stayed during a cooler weekend and loved that we had plenty to do even without swimming. Our pup had a bed and bowls waiting for her and we loved the gates on the porch to keep her safe while she enjoyed the outdoors
Great House and even better customer service! The best rental our family of 13 has ever vacationed in. We were all in agreement that the level of customer service exceeeded our expectations in every way. Thank you BHIP!
