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!

Aquatopia South is an ALL-NEW, completely remodeled and redecorated 7-bedroom, 4-bath waterfront utopia … disguised as a beach house! Designed for families with children, this five-star luxury home features a heated swimming pool plus spa, outdoor summer kitchen/grill & tiki-hut bar, private dock on the wild and scenic Indian River, and more. (The Indian River is the most biodiverse estuary in North America, teeming with 4000+ species of marine life, including dolphin & manatee). And perhaps best of all, Aquatopia is just one short block away from the Atlantic Ocean. (Because the home is not located ~directly~ on the Atlantic ocean, it represents some of the very best value for your vacation dollar of any of our BHIP properties) Enjoy our complimentary water toys and recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing gear, snorkel gear, and so much more. Jet skis & boats are available, too! About Events: Because parking is limited to only 4 vehicles, and the home lies at the end of a private one-way street in a very quiet residential neighborhood, this home is not available for large parties or events. MORE THAN 10 ADULTS? The home might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking. Plus: Recently, the homeowner installed a property-wide misting system that provides relief from stinging pests such as sand fleas & mosquitos on the property and poolside (push-button mist-on-demand controls).

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". But you need not rely on local pride: Check out these awards recently garnered by Stuart and Martin County FL: * USA Today: #1 Best Coastal Small Town in America (2024 winner) * Coastal Living Magazine: #1 Happiest Seaside Town in America (2016) * House Beautiful Magazine: #1 Most Beautiful Small Town in Florida * Smithsonian Magazine: Best Small Towns to Visit in the U.S. (3rd place) * America In Bloom (Audubon group): #1 Most Beautiful City in America * American Planning Association: #1 City in Florida (2020 winner) * Oprah Winfrey: "Most charming American towns you've never heard of" (6th place, O Magazine, Jan 2020) * USA Today: #5 Best Florida Beach 2025 Rankings (of more than 100 beaches considered) * FindTheHome: #1 Best Place to Retire in the U.S. * OnlyInYourState: 1 of 8 "Most Beautiful Small Towns in Florida" * HuffingtonPost: Top Florida Beach Towns Plus: Close to the best of Florida (From Orlando and the theme parks, to Miami & Palm Beach, in less than two hours).
