La Dolce Vita: Big Beach House w/ elevator & heated pool! DIRECTLY ON BEACH

DISCOUNTS are available to most renters! (see details below). Pay less than $100/night per bedroom.

HAVE IT ALL — Live, work, play, and unwind at your own private ocean-to-river beach house. Step away from the crowds and step into a world where luxury meets seclusion—just you, the sand, the sea, and the people who matter most.

Located less than an hour from Palm Beach International Airport, this 5-star-rated oceanfront retreat sits in Stuart FL: USA Today’s #1 Coastal Small Town in America (2024). It’s also proudly named America’s Happiest Seaside Town by Coastal Living Magazine.

This is more than a vacation — it's your personal sanctuary in the heart of the perfect beach town. Relax in total privacy while staying just minutes from vibrant restaurants, boutique shopping, and exciting attractions.

Need to stay connected? Unlike most rentals, this beach house is equipped with blazing-fast, gigabit-speed, commercial-grade Wi-Fi—secure and strong enough for 4K movie nights, Zoom calls from the sand, or homework on the dock.

All inclusive, stocked to the nines, and FREE: At BHIP, "We stock heavy, so you can travel light". Beach umbrellas & canopies, beach chairs, bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, coolers, games, toys, towels, linens, laundry pods, paper goods, cooking gear / staples / spices, baby & toddler gear, and so much more. It's all there, and it's all free (no surcharges or rental fees).

Property Manager Al Roberts (thousands of 5-star reviews) lives in the neighborhood, and is always just a text or phone call away. Al & his team: Always available, but never intrusive.

Escape. Recharge. Connect. Welcome to your beachfront paradise!

---

SPOTLESSLY CLEAN — We meet & exceed all safety measures & best practices specified by the CDC & FL Dept of Health. We utilize hospital-grade cleaning & disinfectant standards, and stock your home with cleaning supplies, alcohol, hand sanitizer & more.

SAFE — With thousands and thousands of 5-star reviews behind it, this home is managed by Al Roberts and Beach Houses in Paradise, the 25-year leader in luxury five-star Florida beachfront vacation rentals.

SAVE — with the owner's many discount plans: FL resident, seniors, first responder, military, education, medical, civil service, volunteer & more.

ABOUT THE HOME:

Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need to pack for your Florida beach-house vacation, we provide the rest. Travel light—and live large—with the fully stocked, meticulously maintained 5-Star-amenity properties of Beach Houses in Paradise. (At BHIP, our motto is "We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")

Italian for "The sweet life", La Dolce Vita is an 8-bedroom, 5-bath European-style luxury pool home which sits directly on the Atlantic Ocean, and directly across the street from the Indian River (w/private dock).

Get everybody together at your own private beachfront luxury home, & live the sweet life. (La Dolce Vita is especially well-suited for family reunions, groups of friends, and religious/corporate/group retreats.)

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities, accommodations and an ON-the-beach location at a price you can afford. (It's like champagne on a beer budget!) Note: La Dolce Vita is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.

Already a high-end luxury beach villa, the majestic property was further upgraded and restored recently with all-new beds & furnishings, 4K UHD TVs, water toys, high-speed business-class Wi-Fi internet, & more.

La Dolce Vita is one of the few BHIP homes that feature both a built-in heated pool & a private elevator (no more stairs!) Plus: With its huge double-oven kitchen & spacious open floor plan that can entertain up to a few dozen in the same room (see pictures), and ample parking, this sparkling palace is one of our best-suited beach houses for small events & gatherings (Note: La Dolce Vita is *NOT* a party house)

With 8 bedrooms and 5 baths,100 linear feet on both the ocean and bay/river, a big oceanfront relaxation deck (and separate observation/sundeck), plus riverfront dock, and more than 3600 square feet of bedrooms, bathrooms and living area, La Dolce Vita is among the largest and most luxuriously appointed ocean-to-river beach houses available in the USA.

And 15 paces from your front door is a nature-preserve walkway that leads to your own 300-foot-long deep-water private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, and stocked with all your favorite water toys (complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, bicycles, boogie boards, fishing gear, metal detectors, and more).

Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, and there's even room to park your trailer. RV? room for that too!

REVIEWS: Read our reviews, and see how families and groups like your own are enjoying five-star experiences IN THEIR OWN HOUSE, at a fraction of the price of a beachfront hotel or resort! For more than 1,000 additional five-star reviews of BHIP homes in the same neighborhood, type "VRBO Beach houses in Paradise" into your favorite internet search service and read all of our five-star VRBO reviews for BHIP beach houses just like this one.

About BHIP: La Dolce Vita is one of several luxury 5-star properties operated by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in offering 5-star luxury, amenities and service in sunny FL beachfront settings.



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.

Plus: Enjoy our complimentary water toys & recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing & snorkel gear & more. Jet skis & boats available, too!



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".

EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS:

Planning a modest event or small gathering at the home? Or is your rental in association with an event held at a nearby venue? We'd love to help! Event-related reservations are approved on a case-by-case basis. Please note that due to the pristine, delicate barrier-island environment, special restrictions may apply (COVID-19 restrictions may also apply).

Important: Please inquire about your event BEFORE booking (to avoid paying cancellation fee).



MORE THAN 12 ADULTS? La Dolce Vita 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 fresh water.)



HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE 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.
