As property manager for Beach Houses in Paradise, I love sharing the riches of our fantastic area with others, and have been doing so for 20 years. Almost all of our properties are ocean-to-river trophy beach homes located in Southeast Florida, conveniently located between the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm Beach tri-county area, and the Orlando/Cape Canaveral metropolitan area. All of our homes sit DIRECTLY on top of the Atlantic Ocean, and each is literally within a stone's throw of the surf. Even better, the other side of the house borders the Indian River (usually with a private dock). This protected river is perhaps the most majestic marine and biological sanctuary in the country, and is surely Florida's greatest relatively-unknown treasure. Officially, the Florida Oceanographic Institute regards the federally-protected Indian River as North America's most diverse estuary, with more than 2100 species of plants and 2200 animals. Nearly 1/3 of USA manatees live here or migrate thru the Indian River Lagoon seasonally, and our ocean beach is one of the densest sea-turtle nesting areas in the Western Hemisphere! SWIMMING POOLS / FITNESS / TENNIS / GOLF: Looking for a pool? How about 3?(!!) While the ocean and river are fun, some outdoor fanatics still want MORE: 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 (includes golf, tennis & fitness, too). The Marriott is located just 1 mile north of the home.

Situated directly ON the Atlantic Ocean, "Family Tides" is an ocean-to-river beach house / modernist vacation retreat where Malibu chic meets Milan fashion in the idyllic Southeast Florida warmth & sunshine. The perfect beach retreat for large or multi-generational families (or groups of friends) to re-connect in a fun-yet-relaxing vacation setting. This three-level house easily sleeps over a dozen based on actual bedcount in private bedrooms, and even more with our collection of rollaway beds, cots, and sleeper sofas. Each floor features its own living area with couch/chairs/TV/kitchenette. Everyone comes together on the middle floor, where the giant double-oven kitchen overlooks both a large riverfront dining room and gorgeous oceanfront living room and outdoor ocean deck with hot tub. (complete with easy-to-use grille & patio furniture). Enjoy our complimentary water toys & recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing & snorkel gear & more. Jet skis & boats available, too! SWIMMING POOL! Looking for a pool? How about 3? (!!)
