Description from owner

Description

Step into this magnificent 8BR/6BA residence, gleaming like a precious ocean pearl, and located directly on the beach. Recently transformed from top to bottom over an exacting three-year period, As Good as it Gets boasts brand-new appliances, finishings & furnishings, cutting edge 4K TVs, a heated swimming pool, an oceanfront hot tub, a private dock, and even an observation room offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the ocean AND river. Take your beach house vacation to a new level with elevated amenities, including an array of complimentary water toys, high-speed business-class Wi-Fi, and more.

And that's just the beach house!

Cross the street, and 15 paces away is your own 200-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 (complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, bicycles, fishing gear & more).

As Good as it Gets is 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, so close you can toss a roasted shrimp right from the grill into the surf!

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.)

At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities & accommodations at an affordable price (It's like champagne on a beer budget). Note: As Good as it Gets is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers.

Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, and there's even room to park your trailer. RV? room for that too!

FITNESS / TENNIS / PICKLEBALL / GOLF & MORE SWIMMING POOLS: While the ocean and river are fun, and the home's private heated pool and soothing jacuzzi hot tub are also a blast, some outdoor fanatics still want MORE: So, with your stay of 1 week or longer, the owner includes FREE complimentary passes to 3 resort-style pools at the nearby Ocean Club @ the Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort, conveniently located just 1 mile north of the home. (Your free passes provide access to the private18-hole golf course, tennis/pickleball complex & fitness, too).

ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED: From bicycles to beach blankets, from towels to toilet paper, and all points between. (Did you know that fewer than 25% of Florida listings include high chairs for little ones? 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, and other basic staples. And can you imagine arriving to your beach 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, and horseshoes? Why waste the first day of your precious vacation -- or 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 and pools, and put out the bathrobes & towels so your relaxing beach vacation can start the moment you arrive.)

No hidden fees: Other vacation-rental companies nickel and dime you to death with surcharges such as pool-heating fees, fees to use 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.

Plus: Enjoy our complimentary water toys & recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing & snorkel gear & more. Jet skis & boats available, too!
