ABOUT ART ON THE BEACH:

Anyone in your family or group the creative type? "Art on the Beach" combines two of life's great passions—art & travel—into a memorable beach-house vacation getaway. A 3-story, 8BR/5BA, ocean-to-river beach palace, w/private elevator, heated plunge pool, oceanfront hot tub, private dock, & more. The 2 top floors are outfitted in 5-star luxury style, the ground floor features 3 bedrooms, plus art studios: A fully stocked & functioning paint/draw studio, fine arts/crafts/scrapbook studio, sand/shells/sculpture studio, plus kids studio. Your Florida beach-house getaway need never get boring!

Live. Play. Recreate. Create … in your own Florida Beach House.

"Art on the Beach", known in our area as "The Art House", is perched high atop an oceanfront sand dune. The home is so close to the ocean that a child can toss a tennis ball into the water from the deck. With 8 bedrooms, plus 5 baths (including 3 with en-suite bathrooms), this beautiful oceanfront-and-riverfront beach house is packed with features to delight everyone in your large family or group across all ages. Plus: Directly across the street lies your own private SECOND beach paradise, with riverfront recreation area: grill, picnic tables, fire pit, tiki bar, boat launch & private dock on the pristine Indian River Estuary. This treasure is the most bio-diverse estuary in North America, teeming with 3400 species of marine life including dolphins, manatee, sea turtles & more.

Why the emphasis on the arts? A famed local architect & his wife designed & built this home as their primary residence in retirement. Famous in South Florida for building much of the city of Boca Raton plus many celebrity-owned retreats in the Caribbean, this well-traveled couple envisioned the home as an inspirational place that arouses creativity, electrifies the senses, & is relaxing & fun AND a place to which the children & grandchildren would enjoy returning to year after year. Now you, too, can share their vision & soak up all the creative energy that this gorgeous luxury beach estate continues to radiate.

Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that's all you need for your beach-house vacation … We provide the rest. Travel light—& live large—with the fully-stocked, 5-Star-amenity properties of BHIP! ("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 (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget!) Note: Art House is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.

Right across the street is your own 250-foot-long deep-water private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world & stocked with all your favorite water toys (complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, bicycles, boogie boards, inflatable rafts, fishing poles & tackle, metal detectors, & more).

Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock & there's even room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp is just 1 mile away). RV? Room for that too!

ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED:

From bicycles to beach blankets, towels to toilet paper, paddleboards to picnic baskets, & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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, & more. (Note: All communications must take place on the VRBO platform; this home is available only via VRBO)

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.)

Located in Stuart, this vacation home is in the city center and on the beach. The Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast and Riverwalk are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Fort Pierce Beach and Savannas Preserve State Park.
