ABOUT AVALON:

With its ocean location, heated private swimming pool, hot tub, private dock—and the best master suite of any of our homes—everything is NEW at this 8BR/5BA palace on the Atlantic: New toys, new appliances, new furniture & furnishings & more.

Avalon means "earthly paradise". According to Celtic legend, it's a stunning pristine European island with magical healing powers, comforting waters & gentle breezes. (Camelot's King Arthur retreated to Avalon's mystical sanctuary after being injured in battle, so he could restore his health and rejuvenate before his next adventure.)

Avalon will restore your spirits, revive your relationships, & refresh your family/group with memories that last a lifetime.

Highlights: Incredible 360-degree water views w/floor-to-ceiling windows, private dock, heated oceanfront pool, 6-person jacuzzi hot tub, 4-hole putting green, incredible master bedroom suite, oversized parking for RVs & boat trailers, TWO beaches (one on the ocean, another on the river) & more.

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

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities & accommodations at an affordable price (It's like champagne on a beer budget). Avalon is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers.

With 100 linear feet on both the ocean & river, oceanfront & riverfront recreation areas & more than 4000 square feet of indoor space & surrounding balconies, Avalon is among the largest & most lavishly appointed ocean-to-river beach houses available from BHIP.

Avalon sits alone on a private beach in a quiet residential area—no condos, high rises or large public beaches for miles. (No crowds, just a beach all to yourself.) The Atlantic Ocean is right off your back porch; the surf so close that you can toss a BBQ shrimp towards the dolphins from the oceanfront grill).

Plus: Across the street lies your *other* private beach—and your own 200-foot-long private boating & fishing dock on the pristine Indian River—offering some of the best fishing in the world. (Enjoy our complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, boogie boards, fishing poles & tackle, metal detectors & more.)

Own a boat or a jet ski? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, and there's plenty of room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp just 1 mile away). RVs? Room for them, 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: Avalon 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.

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



MORE THAN 12 ADULTS? Avalon 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.)

Amazing beach-front property A+
Spent the weekend with family and all of us could not have been more pleased with our stay at Avalon. From the location, the amenities, the house itself, the customer service, all of it were beyond expectation. I've stayed at some nice rental properties but Avalon takes the cake for #1. If you are considering a stay at Avalon, no need to spend too much time thinking about it- go ahead and book it.

Annual family memories and vacation
This is our sixth year staying with Beach guest houses in paradise. This was our fourth different house and our favorite house that we’ve stayed in. We will be coming back next year to stay in the same house. It’s so amazing to have the Atlantic on one side and the Indian river on the other. So many different things to do for different personalities. We had a amazing time.

Awesome house/Amazing property/Great management
Of all the places we have stayed at through the years, this house had everything you would want in a beach house. The house and property was clean with all essentials needed for the whole week included. The grills looked like they were brand new, which is not the case for most properties. The house itself has a great view of the beach and you can hear the waves crashing at night. The houses main benefit is being able to enjoy both the sound and ocean.

Awesome House
It was an amazing getaway for us!! We never had a house rental that offered so much and we thank you for all the little extras. The views are absolutely amazing the daily beach walks were so awesome, my only complaint was having a camera on us while in the hot tub they say if your uncomfortable with them to unplug the cameras except you can’t cause there hard wired so we didn’t get to spend much time in the hot tub outside due to camera it just goes against having some privacy and made us feel very uncomfortable

So many great memories made and such a BEAUTIFUL property. The rec area on the riverside was perfect for our 2 and 4-year-old to play in and was a fantastic lounging area for the whole fam! Enjoying the sunsets on the beachside was breathtaking and made for a perfect ending to each day. I can't say enough how great this rental was. They thought of everything, even down to diapers and baby sunscreen! We will def be back! Worth every penny!

Great Place for Groups
This place came with just about everything…plenty of plates, cups, beach towels, toys, bikes and etc. When they say you don’t need to bring any extras, they mean it. Both the bay and beach sides were great places to hang out. We had a few items break and maintenance came quickly to replace or fix. Ideal spot for 3-4 couples with kids…we fit 20 people but it was a little tight for that. Only negative is the sand. Just plan to have it all over everything. House has plenty of wash off stations and hoses to clean things off. Loved our time here!

Stay at Avalon
Overall, great week! Loved the area, having the house so close to the beach, no crowds. Even after they came and changed the filter in the apartment air conditioner & sprayed air freshener it was still unusable for us. Musty & moldy smelling. Luckily for us, it wasn’t necessary. Loved that everything was provided at the house. No beach paraphernalia was needed to be brought. Our biggest complaint was the common area furniture. Horribly uncomfortable, nuisance with the covers. Desperately needs undated with new & comfortable furniture.

Pure Perfection!
This home was nothing short of AMAZING! The location and space were perfect for our family. We came for a family vacation - my husband and myself with our two daughters, 6 and 8 (though this home can of course accommodate SO, so many more). The home has so much to offer - ocean with its sunrise views and the lagoon with the sunsets. The pool was so cute under a little tree and such a hit when needing a break from the sand and wind. The home had all the "toys" you could possibly imagine - we especially loved the kayaks and SUPS on the lagoon, as well as the wave boards on the ocean. We have stayed at many beach home over the years, and this was the most well stocked home ever. The house was cleaned impeccably. The property manager was extremely responsive and had thought of absolutely everything. Would very much recommend! And we would stay at this, or another BIP home, anytime!

Beautiful location!
This was the most well stocked Vrbo rental we’ve ever been to. They really aren’t kidding when they say it’s fully stocked. Everything you could possibly need is there. You just have to find it. The kids enjoyed all the board games. The treasure boxes in each room were a special touch as well. Kids and adults enjoyed opening them. There were so many places to sit outside on the decks. We enjoyed sunrise from one deck and sunset from another deck everyday. I could go on and on about all the great things with this house. Any complaints we had are minor compared to all of the amazing things this rental has to offer.

Another Great BHIP Property
This was our fourth stay with BHIP. I enjoy these properties so much , it’s become difficult for me to stay anywhere else ! Avalon is a beautiful property, wonderfully stocked as all the BHIP properties are and in a lovely location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pool and hot tub area were one of the highlights of Avalon. The upstairs bedrooms, other than the master, are quite small. There are really only four comfortable bedrooms. The small one upstairs and the living room beds are adequate for sleeping but that’s about it. The riverfront area was fabulous. The best of all the BHIP properties I have stayed at. And as always, Al is always available and attends to your every need !

70th Birthday Celebration
Home has an abundance of outside recreational toys, along with inside games and puzzles. With the ocean on one side of the home and access to the river across from the home there was plenty of entertainment/ activities for this multi generational family celebration. Property manager very knowledgeable about the area, very respectful and helpful and any issue or need was responded to immediately. I should add, while the home can accommodate a large number of people, the main home only has three bedrooms that have full baths. There are other sleeping arrangements that share a hall bath. However the location, the views, the amenities, well worth a work around!

Relaxation at BHIP
Very happy with all aspects. One issue was mentioned to property manager and it was fixed within the hour. I had no watch so it might have been fixed within 30 minutes. Please note if you don't read the helpful tips before going to the beaches on either side, "USE the OFF." Otherwise you will be eaten alive from the toes to the knees. This is not a property issue but life on most FL beaches. Would we go back, YES if the calendar ever opens up with availably.

Avalon House
May 2024 This house is by far the best we have ever stayed in! They are not kidding when they tell you everything you need is there. They go above and beyond to take care of every need a guest might have. Plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, spices, coffee, condiments, bug spray, and so much more! The welcome basket (which we have never had anywhere we have stayed before!) was devoured by all quickly. The house was very clean and so well stocked with basics that all we needed was food. There was plenty of room for our family of 11 to be able to spread out and not be on top of each other. Having 2 beaches with lots of “toys” was great. Accommodated toddlers, adults and teens. My husband loved having the dock to park the jet ski and to fish. Everywhere we have stayed before he has had to drive to a pier to fish so he was happy. We were actually a little apprehensive about coming to this house because the description looked too good to be true! We are so glad we decided to give it a try. We will definitely be back in the future! Tina

5 star home and service
Most important part of this vacation rental is actually Al - the property manager. He's got to be the best property manager i have ever worked with. Every Question you can imagine has an answer in his FAQ's. Super easy to work with. Every tiny detail is thought off. We as a family just talked about his attention to detail for an hour. Lot to say about the property itself. Great one - beach on one side and river on the other. Lot of outdoor deck area to hang out and pool under a tree was superb. So many things avaiable for use - you just can have absolute peace of mind and just relax here. Publix is super close by and they had everything non-perishable stocked up. When I mean stocked up - I really mean stocked up. All in all great place/home/service. Thanks for the tiny treasures/gifts in the treasure box all over the home- Kids loved it.
