Welcome to Beach Houses in Paradise
Dreaming of the ultimate family reunion by the sea? Look no further than Beach Houses in Paradise—America’s #1 choice for luxury family-reunion beach homes.
Located directly on the sand in award-winning Stuart, Florida—awarded USA Today’s “Best Small Beach Town in America” designation (2024 national winner)—our stunning oceanfront estates set the stage for unforgettable gatherings. Imagine 8+ bedroom private homes that sleep dozens in comfort and style, complete with heated pools, hot tubs, private elevators, exclusive beachfronts, and complimentary bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, and beach gear.
For over 25 years, we’ve specialized in hosting family reunions of every size and generation. Thousands of five-star reviews speak for themselves—but the real reward is the joy we see on our guests’ faces. We know these moments matter. That’s why we make it our mission to help your family create memories that last a lifetime.
The Ideal Location
Set along Florida’s famous Treasure Coast, Stuart offers all the amenities of South Florida—great restaurants, shopping, and attractions—without the crowds. Just under an hour north of Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA), Stuart sits perfectly between the energy of the metro area and the tranquility of Florida’s coastal countryside.
It’s the best of both worlds: a serene escape that’s still close to everything.
And it's gorgeous: Set on a rare and beautiful barrier island, Stuart is the only place in the entire United States where you can choose from dozens of “Ocean-to-River” beach-house estates—properties that sit directly on the ocean beach and include their own private dock on the serene Indian River Lagoon.
From your private dock, it’s common to see dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles gliding by daily. The Indian River Lagoon, recognized by the Florida Oceanographic Institute as the most biodiverse estuary in North America, is home to over 3,400 species of marine life—making it one of the richest fishing and wildlife areas anywhere on the continent.
At Beach Houses in Paradise, nature, luxury, and relaxation all meet—right outside your door.
Getting Here Is Easy
Arriving in Stuart couldn’t be simpler. We’re minutes from I-95, the Florida Turnpike, and less than an hour from PBIA. Guests also come from Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, and Port Canaveral, often pairing their stay with a cruise. (Those are the 3 major cruise ports in South Florida).
And for our Florida neighbors? Many guests arrive by boat—right to their private dock on the peaceful Indian River Lagoon, where most of our homes include docking slips.
So Much to See and Do
Should you ever tire of relaxing on your own private beach, adventure is always nearby. Take a day trip to the Orlando theme parks, Kennedy Space Center, or the luxury shops of Palm Beach. Catch a professional sports game, a concert, or a night out in Miami—all within easy reach.
Right here in Stuart, explore local museums, galleries, parks, playgrounds, bike trails, and tennis or pickleball courts. From seaside dining to sunset cruises, Stuart has something for everyone in your family.
And Stuart is a well-known "Mecca" of Florida golf: Dozens of championship-level courses lie within a 40-mile radius, including accessible A-caliber courses by all the "signature" course designers: Jack Nicklaus, Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, and more. Numerous PGA-signature courses are also nearby, including PGA National (in nearby Palm Beach Gardens) and the PGA Village courses in nearby Port St. Lucie.
Luxury Beach Palaces
Every Beach Houses in Paradise home delivers five-star luxury amenities with all the comforts of a private resort:
- Spacious bedroom suites with private baths
- Heated swimming pools (with no fuel surcharges)
- Jacuzzis and hot tubs
- Private elevators
- Exclusive, deeded private beachfronts on quiet, uncrowded beaches
- Luxury touches like plush robes, Egyptian-cotton linens, and high-end toiletries.
Need space for your extended family? Many of our homes are located side-by-side, allowing you to host reunions of up to 100 guests—the ultimate multi-home beachfront retreat.
Safety Comes First
Your family’s peace of mind is our priority. Each home is equipped with:
- Child-safety locks, gates, and fencing (around pools and water access)
- Life vests and floaties in every size
- Proximity to lifeguarded public beaches for added comfort (Some beach-house estates are actually next door to public beaches with lifeguards)
- Private elevators
We also participate in the WaterWatcher Program, ensuring one designated adult always keeps an eye on swimmers using our signature WaterWatcher lanyard—so there’s never confusion about who’s on duty.
At Beach Houses in Paradise, you can relax knowing safety and fun go hand-in-hand.
For Every Family Member
Beach Houses in Paradise is for everyone—and anyone—that you call family. Our beach houses include numerous features for those who no longer get around so easily, from grab bars in every bathroom and shower and tub, to private elevators and chairlifts, hand railings anywhere there are stairs or a difficult step, complimentary wheelchairs, shower chairs, footpath access to the beach (to circumvent beach stairs), and more.
Kids love Beach Houses in Paradise, too. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated for families, including children of all ages. Each beach-house estate comes equipped with a remarkable array of outdoor-oriented complimentary amenities designed to delight and inspire. From bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, and pool floats to our signature AquaCycle™ two-person water trike, children can have a blast, and in a safe manner.
Inside, comfort meets creativity. Each beach house is stocked with age-appropriate books, puzzles, and board games, along with video-game consoles (Xbox and PlayStation) for relaxing evenings. You’ll even find thoughtful touches like coloring books, art supplies, and classic family-favorite games that bring everyone—of all ages—together for fun.
Pets are welcome too! Both the ocean beach and river beach are pet friendly; and in nearly all cases, your beachfront is a part of the home's actual deed, so it's your right to allow your pets to enjoy the beach scene. Plus: pet amenities are included with every rental, including dog beds & bowls, and our favorite—a "PetSpa" washdown station especially designed for pets. (Great for everything from rinsing off sandy paws to a full-fledged bath.)
