ABOUT THE RESORT
Enjoy five-star, resort-style accommodations in a Triple-A Trio of side-by-side SE Florida beach houses, close to major international airports. For more details, pictures and independent reviews on each underlying house, view our listings for the three individual homes that comprise the resort: "As Good as it Gets" at (ID# 4145595), "Heaven Can't Wait" (ID# 4148187), and Carpe Diem (#4160814). When you book all three together here—under the Resort listing—you SAVE.
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.
With rates starting at less than $100 per bedroom per night, the Ocean-to-River Beach-House Resort delivers both five-star luxury and a world-class location at an easy-to-justify price.
These luxury-class beachfront retreats feature the best of both worlds: They sit DIRECTLY on the Atlantic Ocean beach (your back porch empties onto the sand itself), and they also sit DIRECTLY on the mile-wide Indian River, with private docks for all your water toys, fishing and boating enjoyment. (Plus, ocean access from your private dock is just 1 mile south to the inlet) .
Featuring five-star amenities, hot tubs, jacuzzi baths, 4K UHD flat screen TVs, private docks, tiki-hut outdoor entertainment decks, complimentary water toys, and much, much more, we didn't miss a trick.
Situated on a private 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 group). The Atlantic Ocean is right off your back porch. And 15 paces from your front door is 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.
About BHIP: The Resort 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.
Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at one of your own two private docks! (or rent one at one of the many nearby providers, and park it at your dock for the duration of your stay!) There's even room to securely park up to 2 full-length RVs, right in front of the property!
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!
