Enjoy a rare luxury among vacation rentals: Gigabit-sped commercial-grade secure Wi-Fi internet so fast, you can stream 4K movies at night, and so powerful, you can work from outside, while on the beach or at the end of the dock. (Perfect for the kids' homework/homeschooling, too.)

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!

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".

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!

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.)

A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT:

The home sits in the middle of the "Treasure Coast". To this very day, gold doubloons, pieces of eight & other Spanish treasure still wash up along Hutchinson Island, after big storms. (Complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors and instructions are provided.)

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.
