My friends and I really enjoyed the home. LOTS of no-see-ums (Ceratopogonidae) outdoors which is well beyond the homeowners ability to control. Lots of warnings on signs in the home to use OFF repellant and they are very very correct. Great view, great house, lots of fun stuff provided in the garage to enjoy the pool.

This is a great property for both ocean and river access. The house was unique in its layout and nicely decorated. The grounds were beautiful with lovely flowers and lots of butterflies. The pool was amazing, and the dog wash station was used every day. My dog loved it! The best thing about the house was all the “extras”. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with everything you could possibly need! From spices, coffee, toiletries, and little gifts hidden in the bedrooms, we didn’t have to bring a thing from home except clothes and food. The only drawback for our family was the overall size of the house. We are a family of 21 adults and teenagers. The house would have been better suited for fewer people or younger children. Overall, we loved it and had a wonderful time enjoying all the amenities!

Gardens at Bathtub Beach Getaway 2025

Another great getaway in the books with the BHIP family of homes. This time we spent our time at the Gardens at Bathtub Beach. A spectacular home that exceeded all of our expectations. The privacy was awesome, perfect access to the beach and the intercoastal waterway. We spent countless hours on the Stuart Sandbars, enjoyed all of the sea life, the wonderful pool, hot tub, and all of the other things that Al and his BHIP team provide. Don’t hesitate in spending your vacation in one of their properties. The local community, restaurants, shops, and the community in general are awesome. We’re already planning our next adventure to the treasure coast! Thanks Al and team! The Kennedy family.

Amazing Property with Amazing views

First class all the way, the house was immaculate, and fully stocked. The views from the bedrooms were spectacular! The property itself was exactly like the photos ! We sat around the pool a lot and just enjoyed. We had a putting contest on the green! And even took out the water bike! The garage is fully stocked for any outdoor game you can think of. Grocery store is 5 mins away. We will definitely return !

Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful time. The house was well-stocked and offered things we never thought of. I would say the only negative surprise was that there is no indoor access to the lower level. So you wouldn’t want younger kids sleeping down there alone. Also, access to the loft is not made for older folks. But the kids enjoyed going up there. All in all, the house worked for our family and everyone agreed it was a great vacation.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 October 2024
Thank you for your five-star review, and for sharing your impressions of the home with others. You make a great observation about the home's ground-floor level. As shown in the floor plan, photos and video, there is no indoor/interior staircase that connects the ground floor to the main floor. This is a common feature of "hurricane-proof" construction in South Florida. If a huge hurricane hits, and the seas rise over the dunes and swamp the home, the ground floor washes away ... but leaves the upper two floors safe & dry as the Sahara Desert. Thank you again for your kind words, and we'll see you next year!

Our stay at Gardens & Bathtub Beach was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The check-in process was seamless, and we were immediately impressed by how immaculately clean the home was. It was also incredibly well stocked with supplies clearly, the host has thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable and at home.Our friends and family had an unforgettable time. Each room had thoughtful complimentary gift boxes, which were such a lovely surprise, and the hidden treasure added an extra layer of fun that everyone truly appreciated. Those personal touches really set this property apart.One detail that might easily go unnoticed but made a huge difference was the built-in bug spray system around the property. We were able to enjoy the outdoor spaces day and night without a single mosquito bite, which is priceless in this setting!This home is the perfect blend of comfort, fun, and attention to detail. We can’t recommend it enough and would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Amazing house with amazing amenities

Stayed with extended family (ages 8 to 80+) for a milestone birthday celebration. Everyone loved it! It’s always complicated to get a group of 15-20 people together for a week, but Gardens at Bathtub Beach accommodated us quite nicely. Importantly, the property manager was super-responsive as questions and minor issues inevitably came up throughout the week. The property is equipped with more water toys and other pool/beach gear than you can possibly need, and the house itself is similarly well stocked. The main kitchen is a little tight when the house is at or near capacity, but otherwise there was plenty of space for us and plenty to keep us busy. The pool and hot tub were great, and the beach and river were beautiful and lots of fun. Overall I highly recommend this vacation rental!

Thank you for your five-star review, and for sharing your impressions of the property with others. (And a special thanks for your observation and suggestion about the kitchen ... Future guests will enjoy a roomier kitchen, thanks to your suggestion to relocate one of the portable stainless-steel counters). We'll see you next year!

Amazing home right on the river with the beach across the street!

A portion of our family stayed at this home in June, 2024 while another portion stayed at a sister home right across the street (Bathtub Beach Retreat). Both are managed by the same company, and we were blown away at the thoughtfulness, consideration, and care that this company puts into every aspect of these homes and their guests. From robes in every room for use while you're staying there, extra paper plates and silverware, every home or kitchen tool you could imagine, extra sheets and other linens in every room, rollaway beds staged everywhere just in case, ice makers, and more, the home and the experience will stretch beyond anything you can imagine. Customer service is exceptional. The home itself is extraordinary; pool, river, dock, kayaks, beach areas, mini-golf, beautiful views, very well laid out, and with every game you could imagine on hand. If we ever get a chance to stay at this home again, we will all do so in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!

Grieving in Paradise

We have stayed in houses managed by Al before. This year we booked to try to have a week with a beloved family member with cancer. Unfortunately he passed away the week prior. So instead our family enjoyed remembering Kevin and used paradise as a home base for a celebration of life for him. As usual, the house was amazing. Al thinks of everything. Its so nice to stay in a BHIP home because we know what to expect. They are very different houses but the amenities are all standardized so we know everything we need to enjoy our time is there for us. One of the most impressive things is the service. Super easy check in process and if anything at all goes a little sideways while you are there, Al has someone at your door within a half an hour to repair it. One example this year was a chirping smoke detector. One text to Al and its fixed in 15 minutes. Makes you feel like royalty. We are sitting around watching golf and relaxing and the guys are taking care of the minor problem. We love you Al! See you soon.
