About BHIP—Chateau 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 and service in sunny beachfront settings. Read our reviews, and see how families and groups like your own are enjoying five-star experiences IN THEIR OWN HOUSE—at nightly rates starting less than $100 per private bedroom—just a fraction of the price you would pay at a beachfront hotel/resort! ------ ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED: From bicycles to beach blankets, from towels to toilet paper, and all points between. (Did you know that fewer than 25% of Florida listings include high chairs for little ones? 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, and other basic staples. And can you imagine arriving to your beach 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, and horseshoes? Why waste the first day of your precious vacation -- or 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 and pools, and put out the bathrobes & towels so your relaxing beach vacation can start the moment you arrive.) ------ 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". What others say about our area (Stuart, Jensen Beach & Ft. Pierce): * 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 * Smithsonian Magazine: Best Small Towns to Visit in the U.S. (3rd place) * America In Bloom (Audubon group): #1 Most Beautiful City in America * American Planning Association: #1 City in Florida (2020 winner) * Oprah Winfrey: "Most charming American towns you've never heard of" (6th place,  O Magazine, Jan 2020) * FindTheHome: #1 Best Place to Retire in the U.S. * OnlyInYourState: 1 of 8 "Most Beautiful Small Towns in Florida" * Huffington Post: Top Florida Beach Towns ------ 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 plenty of fresh water). At Beach Houses in Paradise, both the river & ocean are salty. ------ A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT: There's even more fun to be had: This Ocean-to-River Beach House sits smack dab in the middle of the "Treasure Coast". To this very day, gold doubloons, pieces of eight and other Spanish treasure still occasionally wash up along Hutchinson Island, especially following big storms. (Complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors are provided, of course!) ------ HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE AREA The waters in and around the beach house are among the most biologically rich and environmentally sensitive in the entire United States. The owners of the home have been financial supporters of local environmental groups for 15+ years, providing substantial contributions. Upon your arrival, you will notice and appreciate the extent to which exhaustive measures have been taken to preserve the pristine areas surrounding the home in a no-impact, leave-no-trace manner. ("Leave no trace": After you have enjoyed your stay, the beaches and waters surrounding the home should appear exactly as they appeared when you arrived—No footprints, no litter, no nothing—it's as if you never visited) Help preserve the natural beauty and sensitive ecosystem surrounding the home: ------ CAN I COMBINE A FLORIDA BEACH HOUSE VACATION WITH A DISNEY WORLD ORLANDO VACATION? Absolutely. For those interested in combining a beach house experience with Mickey Mouse, Disney World, Universal, and all the other Orlando Resorts: It's a pleasant two-hour drive from your house to Disney and Orlando, driving along the Florida Turnpike. (Avoid the Interstate). Many vacationing families in our beach-house community will spend a week bringing three (or four!) ------ NO PARTIES OR EVENTS ALLOWED: This home is not available for parties or events. It is NOT a party house. Plus: The area surrounding the home is environmentally fragile, and cannot safely withstand more people than the posted maximum occupancy of the home itself. If you want to have a party near the beach, consider these nearby alternatives: The Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort has ample facilities for large events, and The House of Refuge has a smaller room that it rents out to small-to-medium-size events. ----- Bedrooms & Bathrooms: Platforms like Airbnb may define "bedrooms" differently than the definitions used with regard to building codes, fire & safety codes, health-department codes and other applicable regulations and laws. For example, Airbnb may count any "sleep room" towards the overall bedroom count, including rooms featuring wall beds, sofa beds, lofts, and other makeshift sleep rooms. Similarly, Airbnb may define the term "bathroom" differently than the definitions used with regard to building codes, fire & safety codes, health-department codes and other applicable regulations and laws. For example, Airbnb may consider the existence of outdoor hot/cold showers and similar bathing facilities as a component of the overall bathroom count. For specific details concerning the bedrooms and bathrooms presented in this booking, please contact the property manager. ----- Rental agreement: Rental of this luxury home is subject to the owner's standard terms & conditions, which includes liability disclaimers and other matters of importance. If, after booking a reservation, you decide you are not comfortable with the agreement, you have the right to cancel your reservation without penalty, subject to the terms of the cancellation policy presented to you at the time of booking and accepted by you at the time of booking. Guest access At rates starting at less than $100 per night per private bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities and accommodations at an affordable price (It's like champagne on a beer budget!) Chateau de la Mer is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.
