We utilize hospital-grade cleaning & disinfectant standards, and stock your property with cleaning supplies, alcohol, wipes, hand sanitizer & more. (During the initial pandemic shutdowns in Spring 2020, our spotlessly-clean homes passed muster with "front line" teams at hospitals & medical departments, who leased multiple beach houses to host entire hospital nursing units and doctor families for extended stays during those first scary months (when the mode of transmission was not yet clear). SAFE — This property is managed by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in Florida beachfront vacation rentals. SAVE — with the owner's many discount plans: FL resident, senior, first responder, military, education, medical, civil service, volunteer & more.

"Twice as Nice" combines two of our most popular side-by-side ocean-to-river beach houses into one convenient money-saving booking. (A fantastic way to bring two or more groups together for a vacation, retreat, or getaway.) Conveniently located near Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach airports and less than two hours from Orlando and the theme parks, "Twice as Nice" joins "Carpe Diem" (property ID# 4160814) and "Heaven Can't Wait" (4148187) into a fun-filled and relaxing 14 bedroom, 9.5 bathroom ocean-to-river beach property. [For more pictures, and details, visit the specific listing for each of these two homes]. Situated on a private, swimmable beach in a quiet residential area. There are no condos, high rises or large public beaches for miles: No crowds, just a beach all to yourself and your party. Just across the street are your own twin 200-foot-long deep-water private docks on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, and stocked with all your favorite water toys and fishing gear (provided complimentary, of course). Why is "Ocean to river" so special? Easy: When you step off the back-porch oceanfront deck, you are walking onto your own private Atlantic Ocean beach. Now, head on over to the front door. Walk 20 paces in the other direction. Now you are on your own private dock on the mile-wide Indian River. A dock that's just a mile north of the St. Lucie inlet, which connects the river to the ocean. Fish (saltwater *or* freshwater). Surf. Paddleboard. Jet ski. Snorkel. Scuba. Catch a giant marlin just a few miles offshore, within view of your ocean-to-intracoastal property located on Hutchinson Island in Stuart FL, long regarded as the "Sailfish capital of the world". Own one or more boats? Bring them! Moor it at your own private dock, and there's even room to park your trailer. RVs? room for those, too!

About BHIP: Twice as Nice 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. Included FREE with your stay of 7 nights or longer: Complimentary guest passes—for everyone in your group—to the "Ocean Club" amenities of the nearby Marriott Hutchinson Island Marina & Resort. Enjoy 3 resort-style heated swimming pools, private 13-court tennis complex, fitness rooms, and 18-hole private golf course. (greens fees and/or cart rental may cost extra). The Marriott is just one mile south of the homes. — 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 property? Just ask! We have videos, architectural floor plans, Immersive 3D Tours, and more. (Note: All communications must take place on the VRBO platform; this property is available only via VRBO) — PERFECT LOCATION: Not only is the property 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". — WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT OUR AREA (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) * 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 — EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS: Planning a modest event or small gathering at the property?

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 property 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.) . — CANCELLATION IN WHOLE, NOT IN PART: Cancellability applies only to the 2-house property as a single reservation. You may not cancel "one half" of the reservation (i.e., one house) and keep the other house. (If you believe you may need to do so, please book each home under a separate individual reservation.)
