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!

"Eden Beach Retreat" is a 7+BR/6+BA Ocean-to-River beach-house paradise located in "America's #1 Happiest Seaside City", Stuart FL. Eden Beach Retreat is perched high atop an oceanfront sand dune, and located directly on Stuart Florida's famed Eden Beach. The home is so close to the ocean waves that a small child can toss a tennis ball into the surf from the home's large oceanfront deck. And with 7+ bedrooms, 6.5 full bathrooms (including 6 bedrooms w/en-suite baths), this three-story retreat is packed with features to delight everyone in your family group, across all ages.

SWIMMING POOLS / FITNESS / TENNIS / GOLF: Looking for a pool? How about 3?(!!)

The Marriott is located just 1 mile north of the home. MORE THAN 11 ADULTS? The home might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.
