(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 this house 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 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". Here's what people say about our town, Stuart FL: * 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) * USA Today: #5 Best Florida Beach 2025 Rankings (of more than 100 beaches considered) * FindTheHome: #1 Best Place to Retire in the U.S. * OnlyInYourState: 1 of 8 "Most Beautiful Small Towns in Florida" * HuffingtonPost: Top Florida Beach Towns ------ MORE THAN 8 ADULTS? Aquatopia North 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 or saltwater estuaries. They don't like saltwater environments; they live only inland, where there is plenty of fresh water) At BHIP, both the river & ocean are salty. ------ About sand fleas and mosquitos: These outdoor pests sometimes visit "Wild" coastal Florida, too! The owner installed a property-wide Mistaway misting system. (Push-button mist-on-demand controls.) Works great! Problem solved! ------ A NATURE-LOVER'S PARADISE: This property sits near the southern terminus of the Indian River, the most biologically diverse estuary in all North America (according to marinelife samples taken by the Florida Oceanographic Society marine biologists in May 2015 ... samples taken just a few miles south of this home's dock!) From the dock, tiki hut, or oceanfront deck, watch manatees, dolphins, and sea turtles frolic year-round. Birdlife abounds with ibis, egrets, herons, warblers, pelicans and more. And the fishing? Well, let's just say that while a Publix supermarket is conveniently located just a few blocks down the street, you'll never need to buy fish from the market during your stay! ------ A WATER WONDERLAND: Enjoy your own private dock adjacent to tiki-hut entertainment deck, complete with complimentary fishing equipment (fully-stocked tackle & gear), snorkeling gear, and even complimentary water toys like paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks , rafts and more. If you're not bringing your own, boats & jetskis are available too. ------ A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT: And there's even more fun to be had: The home 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. The nearby House of Refuge Museum showcases relics from prior shipwrecks, one of which -- the Georges Valentine wreck -- is a fun snorkeling experience and is close enough to swim to from the beach nearby! (Complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors are provided) ------ 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 many, many years, with financial contributions into the 7 figures. 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: * Do not touch or approach dolphins, sea turtles and manatees (who swim near the end of the dock). These are protected species. The Florida Fish & Wildlife officers in their boats have powerful binoculars, and they WILL arrest you. * Be responsible with your fishing tackle. Avoid leaving behind loose line, hooks and other tackle after a successful day fishing. (Pelicans, egrets, heron and other birdlife get tangled in fish line or snagged by hooks ... or by fish they've caught who still have a hook in their mouth. * Do not litter (this includes urinating into the water, emptying alcohol or soda into the water, and so on) ------ 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 Aquarius 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!) generations together in a Florida beach house, then "spin off" the younger side of the family to Disney World for a few days. We've seen it firsthand: And it may just be the best way EVER to combine a Florida Beach House vacation with an Orlando / Disney World / Universal / Mickey Mouse vacation! ------ 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!) Aquatopia North is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers. We do not rent by the room or by the floor. An entire beach-house paradise, only for YOU.
