About this property

Only Have a Week? Unwind at Our Luxury Oceanfront, Indian River Plantation Condo

One picture is worth a 1000 words does NOT apply to our spectacular condo! As Florida condo renters for years, purchasing, updating and decorating this unit was a labor of love for the owners. Working in the fast-paced NYC music industry, their primary consideration was peace, seclusion and privacy. Hutchinson Island is Florida’s best kept secret. This barrier island is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the serene and beautiful Indian River. The owners found it quite by accident by searching Google key words such as, “private vacation getaway”, and “secluded island.” With the exception of one Marriott Resort, there are no huge hotel conglomerates, no crowded beaches, just miles of breathtaking, serene, shell packed beaches and miraculously, only a very few condos restricted to the maximum 4 story height. We choose the Spoonbill because it is only one of two ocean front buildings in Indian River Plantation offering one week rentals.

Here’s why our condo is so special to us (and our ecstatic renters):

1) Directly on the Atlantic Ocean…..only steps away!

2) Exceptionally large balcony, accessible from the living room and master bedroom with a breathtaking, panoramic view of the ocean and large, heated pool.

3) Meticulously maintained and tastefully decorated in cool tropical hues of green, blue and turquoise and completely renovated with new furniture, fixtures, upholstery and accents, by the owner/decorator.

4) 1,100 sf completely tiled apartment includes large living room with comfortable leather sofa and recliner to relax in front of a 37” HD flat panel TV. A full dining area and modern newly renovated kitchen, completely equipped for those of you who want to cook and dine in. A large master bedroom with a new, firm, king mattress, TV, adjoining updated bathroom and sliding door to ocean-front balcony. Lovely, large guest bedroom has 2 twin beds, TV, with adjoining updated bathroom.

5) The historic, quaint town of Stuart is located just minutes away with a colorful array of novelty and antique shops, fine dining and live theater performances at the Lyric Theater. The Lyric stage hosts a year-round schedule of world-class performances from national and internationally renowned artists featuring concerts, comedy, musicals, drama and dance. The Barn Theater presents delightful plays featuring local talent.

6) Only 45 minutes away from Palm Beach International Airport, 25 minutes from First Data Field in Port Saint Lucie, the spring training camp for the New York Mets and 35 minutes from Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, FL, the spring training camp for the St. Louis Cardinals. Disney World and Universal Studios are only 2 hours away.

7) The front door has a push button locking system (key-less entry) so you will not have to meet anyone for access. A unique entry code will be sent to your phone the day of your arrival.

8) Amenities include nearby golf, tennis, fishing, boating and biking.

Note: It is prudent to consider Trip Cancellation Insurance. Many travel insurers DO NOT cover all travel interruptions. We strongly urge our guests to consider purchasing “Cancel For Any Reason” Trip Insurance such as: https://www.travelsafe.com/#/quote

Christmas 2024

The hosts are outstanding and so kind to work with. The unit is immaculate and lavishly appointed for every need. The small complex is right on the beach with spectacular views! We were able to use the pickle and tennis facilities at the Marriott. This complex has no hot tub or workout room, which are the only items lacking. This is a lovely place to relax and reconnect with loved ones.

Beach paradise

This property has received only 5 stars from previous reviews for a reason. It is an ideal location right on the beach, but is not overcrowded. Everything we wanted (grocery store, restaurants, golf courses) was a short drive away. The condo itself is roomy, comfortable, nicely decorated, and well stocked with anything you might need. We had an issue the first night figuring out the TV and Carl and Adrianna stopped by within minutes and helped us figure it out. We ended up running into them a couple of times during the week and really enjoyed getting to know them. This was a great getaway from a dreary Iowa winter!

Great Get-Away Condominium

We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at this property. It is exactly, if not better than as advertised. The morning sunrises over the horizon was a wonderful start of the day. The balcony was much larger than anticipated on which we spent many an evening. Enjoyed meeting the owners who are great folks. The development itself is quiet,relaxing and steps to the ocean's edge . The sound and sight of the waves hitting the shore added to the experience. Would strongly recommend this property and would surely consider returning again.

Every rental should be so nice!

I don’t know about everyone else but I’m always so nervous when I’m renting a place without actually seeing it. Pictures can be so deceiving. Well nothing to worry about here! The pictures are exactly what you get. A very clean condo beautifully & comfortably furnished. Pots, pans, utensils, measuring cups. You name it and it’s there! A wine opener too!! Lol! Towels, beach towels, beach chairs & toys! All there! It was our first time back on the island in many years. We had a great week with 4 of our grandchildren, our son & DIL. I’m so glad I found this wonderful place to come home to regenerate our batteries for the next days adventure! Thank you Adrianna & Carl for sharing your beautiful home!

Perfect condo for beach lovers, direct view of the ocean and almost private beach (Carefully avoid the Turtles nests :). All the amenities were as described in the listing. All that is needed for a relaxing vacation in the beach also perfect for a workation. Adrianna and Carl were very helpful throughout the booking and checking .

Refreshing!

After fast-tracking a wedding, we really enjoyed this hassle-free vacation spot. We cooked half our meals in the kitchen and barbecues were available down by the pool. We pretty much had the pool to ourselves. The bed was comfortable, the pool was quiet, and the ocean was just over the berm. The Marriott next-door also had a pool and bar which we patronized heavily. There’s a grocery store just down the street, tennis courts and golf courses. Restaurants are only a short drive away. It’s pretty hassle free. The place is family friendly. We would also recommend for a couple that wants peace and quiet.

Outstanding condo, outstanding owners!! A few hiccups out of their control

The condo is immaculate. The owners method of signing a lease with a security deposit made a lot more sense to us after our stay. They treat their property with love and absolute attention to detail. It is rare to be in a beach condo where even the grout in the tub is completely spotless. The owners care about their renter's stay and replied almost immediately to any question or concern that we have. The extra wide balcony is a huge plus. Not all units have balconies like this one, and it is a huge consideration for anyone looking at Spoonbill. Their furniture was clean, comfortable and high quality. They also provided very nice beach chairs and umbrellas. Note, that while they do not have a Marriott membership (so you can't use the facilities next door), we did not find this to be an issue at all. The Marriott beach chairs were nice (though we were not allowed to rent them), but the area they were placed was packed whereas in front of Spoonbill it was sparsely populated and gorgeous. We enjoyed the easy access to the Elliott Museum and the House of Refuge, both we recommend highly. The location is great. There are two beautiful bridges that have lovely walking paths over the causeways. It could not have been easier to get around. A couple of things to be aware of, just for setting expectations. If the condo is occupied by other owners or renters who respect the condo rules (no smoking, no music at the pool, only swim in the pool during open hours, dogs with the propensity to bark are not left in a condo alone for hours), the setting is tranquil and peaceful. During our stay this was not the case, and judging from other reviews, it appears to be a one off. The reason to mention this is that the condo building's position and configuration yields a magnification of noise. It is easy to hear low conversations at the pool or on other condo's balconies. Again, not much of an issue if everyone follows the rules - but it can be very aggravating to go sit on the beautiful deck and be met with smoke and noise. On the days when it was quite, the balcony could not be beat! We gave the property a five star review because the condo deserves it. The owners were so helpful and so interested in learning about the issues that we had (that we really think were a strange confluence over a holiday week).

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

After years of renting condos in various sections of Florida we discovered this location. Most other counties allow high rise buildings which causes a high population density especially in the high season. Martin county only allows 4 story buildings which minimizes excessive crowds. We prefer this type of atmosphere. Couple this with all fantastic view from our unit and the amenities Stuart has to offer and we were sold.
