ABOUT GEMINI BEACH:
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. (At BHIP, our motto is "We stock heavy, so you can travel light.")
True to its astrological namesake, Gemini, "the twins", means double the fun. Here, you’ll enjoy a rare dual experience: two picture-perfect private beaches (one on the ocean, and one on the river), plus twin heated pools to match. Sun on one shore, splash in the other, or drift between them like a local. It’s paradise, doubled.
This 5-star home began welcoming its first guests in August 2020. It sits directly atop the ocean dune, a literal stone's throw from the Atlantic Ocean surf. 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, heated swimming pool, & private dockside riverfront paradise.
Margaritaville! Relax in your own "Jimmy Buffet"-style beachside bungalow, with 3 King Bedroom Suites, each with private en-suite baths. The house is packed with fun features, stocked to the nines, & complete with everything you need for a turnkey beach-house vacation. Gemini Beach will delight everyone in your family or group, across all ages.
Boasting water views from every window, Gemini is a historical landmark: Built to last forever & weather even the worst hurricanes, it was the first home constructed in the area. The fortress is the only area home to survive every major hurricane in living memory. The interior was fully renovated in Summer 2020 with all-new appliances & furnishings, while the exterior's historic & rustic character has been carefully preserved.
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: Gemini is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.
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 & your group). The ocean is right off your back porch. And across the street is your own 100-foot-long 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, aqua cycle, fishing poles & tackle & more)
Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, & there's even room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp just 1 mile away). RV? Room for that too! There's so much parking—on both sides of the street—there's room for multiple RVs & boats!

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.
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, and more. (Note: All communications must take place on the VRBO platform; this home is available only via VRBO)

The home was excellently equipped and perfect for a large family. We loved having access to the beach and river for activities. We stayed during a cooler weekend and loved that we had plenty to do even without swimming. Our pup had a bed and bowls waiting for her and we loved the gates on the porch to keep her safe while she enjoyed the outdoors
Great House and even better customer service! The best rental our family of 13 has ever vacationed in. We were all in agreement that the level of customer service exceeeded our expectations in every way. Thank you BHIP!
The Home is small, but perfect at the same time. The Host was amazing, thank you guys.

Thank you for your kind review!
And thank you for sharing with others your perspective on the size of the home. As far as our beach houses go, Gemini Beach is on the smaller side, insofar as the house itself is concerned. But on the outside, it's the opposite: With 100 feet on the ocean and another 100 feet on the river, it's one of our largest overall properties. (And plenty of parking, too)
We'll see you next year!
We had a great and relaxing stay at Gemini Beach. House and location are just perfect. Great communication with very short reply times. We wll come again and again book with BHIP!
Loved the location, plenty of room for my entire growing family! Home was well stocked with supplies and beach toys. Loved the Sandy beach on the bay and firepit.
This was our second stay at Gemini Beach and it was another great family vacation. There is so much to do for the entire family and the house is well stocked with daily essentials.
This home has everything you can imagine, you truly can just show up. This is a great spot short walk to local beaches and very pet friendly. We will be back!
Everything about this experience was fantastic! The communication with the property manager, the property itself, the amenities, everything! Very highly recommend.
This was a great property all the amenities and more. Very impressive on what all was provided from the kitchen to the beach and the for the kids. We will definitely be back next time for much longer.
Great place with plenty to do for all age groups.
Also lots of space so people can spread out if they choose to.

Beautiful house on the Ocean. House stocked with everything. Beautiful view from the porch. Niced vacation rental I'v ever stayed. Our group of 12 were super comfortable.
Our entire family, ages 13 through 78 had an incredible vacation! The home is exactly as pictured and the description was spot on. The amenities at the house provide hours of entertainment and the location is perfect with a beach and river side. Al, our host, was great and we really appreciated the special touch to help celebrate our parents 56th anniversary. We’ve stayed at several homes over the years and we will definitely book again with Al.
The house was exactly as advertised and fit our family of 10 comfortably. Al was extremely responsive and Beach Houses in Paradise think of everything you could possibly need.
Our family of 8 adults and 3 children (one infant) very much enjoyed this property. When they say it is fully stocked, they mean it. We had everything we needed plus surprise treasures and outstanding outdoor equipment. The ocean views were wonderful but the river/beach access with all the amenities was prize-winking for relaxing fun for all ages.
It is so close to the ocean. We loved having our morning coffee and evening drinks just watching the ocean on the front porch. Saw the dolphins every day. Pool on both sides was amazing! Our guys fished from the dock on the river side every day! Master bedrooms were on the main level which was so good for us seniors. Gemini Beach was so perfect!
The house is clean & has great amenities! It’s Florida weather worn but everything was in working order. The host/manager was amazing & supplies whatever you need. When it says it is supplied that did mean you don’t need to buy basic condiments, cooking supplies or coffee. Most will give a day or so of those items to get you going but they had plenty for the week. Having both the Atlantic side & River side was perfect for the kids. We tied a boat up to the dock for a couple days. Overall, this was a great place for our family of 12.
No words to describe how this property exceeded any expectation we had coming in for our family vacation! They have thought of everything and have everything and anything you could think of, may have forgotten or simply didn’t think of. Steps from the ocean, private river front and dock. Basically, it was a small piece of heaven perfect for our family vacation! 1,000/10 rating. We will be going back!

About the host
Hosted by Al Roberts, Property Manager at Beach Houses in Paradise
I'm a semi-retired Dad in his early 50s with a finance & IT background. I spent the most productive 25 years of my life confined indoors staring at a computer screen while living in beautiful Miami. (As I'm originally from cold & windy Chicago, palm trees, sand, dolphins/manatees/sea turtles ... and water this beautiful ... it all seemed so exotic to me, these beach houses seemed mythical, a dream almost, not real...)
Now that I'm semi-retired, I enjoy "putting butts in beach houses" . . . helping vacationers, families and groups find -- and enjoy -- the amazing "Treasure Coast" area of Southeast Florida, and the incredible towns of Stuart, Jensen Beach and Ft. Pierce. Sharing the dream!
Why they chose this property
The property is located a few minutes east of city of Stuart, in Martin County, Florida.
What is Stuart like? Are you old enough to remember TV's "Andy Griffith" show? Locals call Stuart the"Mayberry of Florida".

And there's more: Our ocean-to-river beach houses are like almost none other in the entire United States. There are only 60 or so houses in America like BHIP houses: (directly on the ocean, directly on a wide river, private deeded access to the river, and ocean access through through an inlet just minutes away, and warm weather year-round). Plus: Our homes are located within a one-hour drive of the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale/West Palm Beach metropolitan area and within a 2-hour drive of Orlando, Disney World and other popular attractions and destinations. And the local private airport -- Witham Field in Martin County -- is just a few miles away, with long runways that accommodate both private prop aircraft and jet aircraft. So you can drive in, fly in, or even boat in!
Gorgeous location. The perfect seaside town. Pristine waters and wildlife. ON the Atlantic beach. Close to the best of Florida (From Orlando and the theme parks, to Miami & Palm Beach, in less than two hours). And convenient to international airports.
What makes this property unique
Struggling to set the timer on the Microwave? Not sure how to get the Hot Tub warmed up? Myself and other BHIP staff live in the neighborhood, and are always just a few minutes away should you need anything or experience any trouble.
