HAVE IT ALL — Live, work, play, and unwind at your own private ocean-to-river property. Step away from the crowds and step into a world where luxury meets seclusion—just you, the sand, the sea, and the people who matter most.

This is more than a vacation — it's your personal sanctuary in the heart of the perfect beach town. Relax in total privacy while staying just minutes from vibrant restaurants, boutique shopping, and exciting attractions.

Need to stay connected? Unlike most rentals, this property is equipped with blazing-fast, gigabit-speed, commercial-grade Wi-Fi—secure and strong enough for 4K movie nights, Zoom calls from the sand, or homework on the dock.

All inclusive, stocked to the nines, and FREE: At BHIP, "We stock heavy, so you can travel light". Beach umbrellas & canopies, beach chairs, bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, coolers, games, toys, towels, linens, laundry pods, paper goods, cooking gear / staples / spices, baby & toddler gear, and so much more. It's all there, and it's all free (no surcharges or rental fees).

Property Manager Al Roberts (thousands of 5-star reviews) lives in the neighborhood, and is always just a text or phone call away. Al & his team: Always available, but never intrusive.

Escape. Recharge. Connect. Welcome to your beachfront paradise!

In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang are two forces that make up all aspects of life, opposing but complementary, bringing a peaceful balance & strong serenity. Enter Restoration Sands & Nirvana Shores: A 2-home luxury beachfront and riverfront compound that we call "Yin & Yang"!

Conveniently located near Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Palm Beach airports & less than two hours from Orlando & the theme parks, "Yin & Yang" joins "Nirvana Shores" (property ID# 7061067) & "Restoration Sands" (7060396) into a fun-filled, relaxing 17-bedroom 12-bathroom ocean-to-river beach property.

For more details, pictures and independent reviews on each underlying house, view our listings for the individual homes.

Rejuvenate with a beachfront massage—or yoga in the sand—on your own private 100 feet of Atlantic beach. Refresh with a swim in the warm waters of the FL ocean or river. Then spend some time in any of the properties numerous features, from sauna to steam room to hot tub to heated indoor/outdoor splash pool.

Own one or more boats? Bring them! Moor it at your own dock (Yin & Yang share a private dock). There's even room to park your trailer. RVs? room for those, too!

About BHIP: Yin & Yang is one of several luxury 5-star properties operated by Beach Houses in Paradise, the 20-year leader in offering 5-star luxury, amenities and service in sunny FL beachfront settings.



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.

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 property? Just ask! We have videos, architectural floor plans, Immersive 3D Tours, and more. (Note: All communications must take place on the VRBO platform; this property is available only via VRBO)



PERFECT LOCATION:

Not only is the property situated in the most biodiverse marine environment in North America (source: Florida Oceanographic Institute), it's also located in Stuart FL, 2024 winner of the USA Today "Best Coastal Small Towns in America" rankings. (And #1 winner of the "Happiest Seaside Town in USA" award by Coastal Living Magazine!) Locals of a certain age—that remember TV's "The Andy Griffith Show"—proudly call Stuart the "Mayberry of Florida".

EVENTS & CELEBRATIONS:

Planning a modest event or small gathering at the property? Or is your rental in association with an event held at a nearby venue? We'd love to help! Event-related reservations are approved on a case-by-case basis. Please note that due to the pristine, delicate barrier-island environment, special restrictions may apply (COVID-19 restrictions may also apply).

Important: Please inquire about your event BEFORE booking (to avoid paying cancellation fee).



MORE THAN 22 ADULTS? Yin & Yang might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.



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.)



A TREASURE CHEST OF DELIGHT:

The property sits in the middle of the "Treasure Coast". To this very day, gold doubloons, pieces of eight & other Spanish treasure still wash up along Hutchinson Island, after big storms. (Complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors and instructions are provided.)
.


HELP PRESERVE OUR PRISTINE AREA

The river is considered among the most biologically rich & environmentally sensitive estuary in North America. Our owners avidly support local environmental groups, contributing millions in recent decades.

Help preserve our area:

* Don't approach dolphins, sea turtles & manatees (often seen near the end of the dock). These are protected species. The offshore marine patrol prosecutes aggressively.

* Please clean up after a successful day fishing. Discard all hooks, line & litter.



WHEELCHAIR & MOTION-IMPAIRED ACCESSIBILITY:

The elevator for Nirvana Shores reaches all 3 floors. The elevator at Restoration Sands reaches only the first 2 floors, and not the top floor



CANCELLATION IN WHOLE, NOT IN PART:

Cancellability applies only to the 2-house property as a single reservation. You may not cancel "one half" of the reservation (i.e., one house) and keep the other house. (If you believe you may need to do so, please book each home under a separate individual reservation.)

About the host

Hosted by Al Roberts

Host profile image
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.

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.
