3 Florida side-by-side Beach Houses; 12 BRs sleep 50+. ON beach! +Private Docks

Welcome to The Ocean-to-River Beach-House Resort.

Five-star, resort-style accommodations in a Triple-A Trio of side-by-side SE Florida beach houses. (for more details, pictures and independent reviews on each house, view our listings for "As Good as it Gets" at ID# 4145595, "Heaven Can't Wait" ID# 4148187 and Carpe Diem #4160814 --- the three homes that constitute the Ocean-to-River Beach-House Resort. Book them together and SAVE!!!

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) .

From the Ritz-Carlton sourced Egyptian bedding & linens to the complimentary New York Times delivered daily to your doorstep (Sundays, too!), no detail is overlooked. Complimentary slippers, bathrobes, whirlpool-style jetted tubs in the bathrooms, even "do not disturb" signs to hang outside your bedroom door.

The beach-house resort is located midway between Miami area and Orlando, in SE Florida, just east of the "Sailfish Capital of the World", Stuart FL. Featuring five-star amenities, hot tubs, jacuzzi baths, 4K UHD flatscreen TVs, private docks, tiki-hut outdoor entertainment decks, complimentary water toys, and much, much more, we didn't miss a trick.

Fresh from a Spring 2016 complete inside-and-out restoration and refurbishment, the beach houses are ultra-clean, modern, safe and FUN!

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.

For your convenience and protection, we only accept payment through the native HomeAway/VRBO platform, so use the "BOOK NOW" or "Request to Book" feature to secure your dates quickly, because the calendar is filling rapidly.

INCLUDES 3 OF JUST 50 BEACH HOUSES LIKE THESE IN THE ENTIRE U.S.A:

The Ocean+River Beach-House Resort consists of three of the fewer than 50 beach houses in the entire United States that sit DIRECTLY ON THE OCEAN and also sit DIRECTLY ON A MILE-PLUS WIDE RIVER with private dock for fishing and water toys, and where the river empties into the ocean just a short mile away.

Start every day with breakfast views of a glorious sunrise gently emerging above the peaceful ocean. Usher in each evening with mesmerizing vistas of golden-hued sunsets rippling across the majestic Indian River.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A NATURE-LOVER'S PARADISE:

These Ocean-to-River Beach Houses sits at the southern terminus of the Indian River, the most biologically diverse estuary in all North America (according to marinelife samples taken by the Florida Oceanographic Society marine biologists in May 2015 ... samples taken just yards away from this home's dock!) From the dock, tiki hut, or oceanfront deck, watch manatees, dolphins, and sea turtles frolic year-round. Birdlife abounds with ibis, egrets, herons, warblers, pelicans and more. And the fishing? Well, let's just say that while a Publix supermarket is conveniently located just a few blocks down the street, you'll never need to buy fish from the market during your stay!

-----------------------------------------------------------

A WATER WONDERLAND:

In addition to the private beach, enjoy your own private dock adjacent to tiki-hut entertainment deck, complete with complimentary fishing equipment (fully-stocked bait & tackle), snorkeling gear, and even complimentary water toys like paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks , rafts and more. (For those that wish to bring their own boat and/or jetskis, access is easy: Trailer to the public boatramp a mile away, and park your watercraft at your own private dock during your entire stay. There's even room for your trailer in the ample parking area provided directly in front of the beach houses). Of course, boats, jetskis, and windsurfing rigs are also available locally.

---------------------------------------------------

A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT:

And there's even more fun to be had: the Ocean-to-River Beach Houses sit smack dab in the middle of the "Treasure Coast". To this very day, gold doubloons, pieces of eight and other spanish treasure still occasionally wash up along Hutchinson Island, especially following big storms. In fact, just two hundred yards away to the north of the beach houses, the House of Refuge Museum showcases relics from prior shipwrecks, one of which -- the Georges Valentine wreck -- is a fun snorkeling experience and is close enough to swim to from the beach house! (Complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors are provided, of course!)

-----------------------------------------------------------

HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE AREA

The waters in and around the beach houses are among the most biologically rich and environmentally sensitive in the entire United States. The owners of the home have been financial supporters of local environmental groups for many, many years, with financial contributions into the 7 figures. Upon your arrival, you will notice and appreciate the extent to which exhaustive measures have been taken to preserve the pristine areas surrounding the home in a no-impact, leave-no-trace manner. ("Leave no trace": After you have enjoyed your stay, the beaches and waters surrounding the home should appear exactly as they appeared when you arrived. -- No footprints, no litter, no nothing -- it's as if you never visited)

Help preserve the natural beauty and sensitive ecosystem surrounding the homes:

* Do not touch or approach dolphins, sea turtles and manatees (who swim near the end of the dock). These are protected species. The Florida Fish & Wildlife officers in their boats have powerful binoculars, and they WILL arrest you.

* Be responsible with your fishing tackle. Avoid leaving behind loose line, hooks and other tackle after a successful day fishing. (Pelicans, egrets, heron and other birdlife get tangled in fish line or snagged by hooks ... or by fish they've caught who still have a hook in their mouth.

* Do not litter (this includes urinating into the water, emptying alcohol or soda into the water, and so on)

CAN I COMBINE A FLORIDA BEACH HOUSE VACATION WITH A DISNEY WORLD ORLANDO VACATION?

Absolutely. For those interested in combining a beach house experience with Mickey Mouse, Disney World, Universal, and all the other Orlando Resorts: It's a pleasant two-hour drive from the Ocean-to-River Beach House to Disney and Orlando, driving along the Florida Turnpike. (Avoid the Interstate). Many vacationing families in our beach-house community will spend a week bringing three (or four!) generations together in a florida beach house, then "spin off" the younger side of the family to Disney World for a few days. We've seen it first hand: And it may just be the best way EVER to combine a Florida Beach House vacation with an Orlando / Disney World / Universal / Mickey Mouse vacation!

------------------------------------------------

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY and MOTION-IMPAIRED ACCESSIBILITY:

Like most other ocean-to-river beach homes in this area, only the ground floor is available to wheelchairs and motion-impaired individuals. Reason: Florida building codes in this oceanfront area require that the living and sleeping areas of these homes be well over 12 to 18 feet above sea level, to withstand the surging waves and debris that hurricanes present. For our home, this means that the ground-floor level contains only an enclosed two-vehicle parking garage. To enter the primary living areas on Level 2, one must climb stairs. This second level contains kitchen, dining, living room/family room, bathroom, plus one partionable bedroom, with its own private TV and private oceanfront views. To reach bedrooms on level 3, another set of stairs must be climbed. Finally, to reach the highest level 4 -- an indoor/outdoor under-roof observation-deck platform with 360-degree views -- one must climb an almost 90-degree vertical ladder. In other words, the higher you go, the more challenging the climb.

(If you need motion-impaired or wheelchair access to an ocean-to-river beach house in our neighborhood, we have suitable alternate locations available, and/or can put you in touch with other nearby ocean-to-river homes that may be available to you).

SPECIAL NOTE TO LARGE GROUPS:

Got a group larger than a dozen or so? Not a problem. Directly-adjacent neighboring beach houses are also available through the VRBO/HomeAway platform (see list below), and can also be booked, with total potential combined accommodation exceeding 40.
