At BHIP, Earth Day is a reminder that your stay isn't just a vacation. It's a front-row nature documentary: Morning coffee with dolphins. Sunset paddles past manatee families. Nighttime sea-turtle watch on your own private beach. Fishing on both shores so rich that it's like fishing a stocked pond. In a world that's changing, our unique barrier-island neighborhood—where ocean and river ecosystems come together—this place is still wonderfully alive. Experience it now. Return for years to come.
Below, prior BHIP guests share their favorite memories of encounters with the area's diverse marine ecosystem:
Previous guests have shared the beauty of Florida's wildlife and the incredible moments that can happen right in our own backyard at Beach Houses in Paradise.

\nFor passionate anglers, Stuart, Florida isn’t just a fishing town—it’s a legend. Known worldwide as the “Sailfish Capital of the World”, Stuart has long been home to some of the fiercest fighters in the ocean. And the accolades back it up: FishingBooker, one of the world's leading fishing charter platforms, ranked Martin County the #1 Summer Fishing Destination in the United States, topping their coveted list of Top US Summer Fishing Destinations. Martin County is also the only destination in the country to appear on both FishingBooker's best summer and best winter fishing destination lists: a testament to the world-class fishing available here year-round.
\nIt's no mystery why. Martin County's waters are home to more than 800 species of marine life, thanks to one of the most biodiverse lagoon ecosystems in the entire United States. Offshore, the deep blue teems year-round with sailfish, marlin, tuna, wahoo, and amberjack—just waiting for your line.
\nAt Beach Houses in Paradise, adventure begins right outside your door. Each private beach house includes its own private dock on the Indian River Lagoon, just one mile from the St. Lucie Inlet and only minutes from the Gulf Stream, which runs a mere 10 miles from shore, closer than almost anywhere else in Florida, even Miami or the Keys. Those warm currents are precisely what draw trophy fish to these waters season after season.
\nPrefer a guided expedition? Local marinas are stocked with state-of-the-art sportfishing vessels and expert captains who know exactly where the big ones bite. And BHIP's Al Roberts can connect you to the best of them.
\nWhen you’re ready to trade the open sea for calm waters, simply cross the street to your private dock and cast into the Indian River Lagoon—North America’s most biodiverse estuary, home to more than 3,400 species of marine life. From sunrise to starlight, something is always biting here.
\nAnd when the rods are stowed and the stories begin, you’ll discover that Stuart offers far more than world-class fishing. Voted “America’s Best Coastal Small Town” (USA Today, 2024), this seaside gem brims with charm, dining, shopping, culture, and sunshine—perfect for everyone in your crew, anglers and non-anglers alike.
\nBecause in Stuart, every day is another chance to reel in paradise.

\nBest Beach Houses for Golf: Gardens at Bathtub Beach | Chateau de la Mer | More
\nOur Favorite Local Golf Courses: Overview | Honorable Mentions | Tips
\nMost Beach Houses in Paradise feature their own private putting green. At Gardens at Bathtub Beach, enjoy four holes of finely manicured turf, with adjacent natural sand traps. To see a list of more beach houses with private putting greens, click here.
\n\nAnother Beach House in Paradise that features its own private putting green is Chateau de la Mer. This six-hole practice green offers a tranquil ocean-breeze setting to sharpen your stroke before heading out for a day on the links. (Or unwind after a day's outing with a sunset putting match steps from the surf.) To see a list of more beach houses with private putting greens, click here.
\n\nStaying at Beach Houses in Paradise means more than surf and sunsets—it’s a gateway to world-class golf. Within minutes, you can tee off on Nicklaus-designed masterpieces, Fazio’s scenic challenges, or PGA-caliber layouts that test the best. Add in a wealth of local favorites with sparkling water hazards and ocean breezes, and you’ve discovered the Treasure Coast’s most rewarding game.
\nFor a beach-stay with golf in the mix, this resort-friendly course is a standout. Although the course is ordinarily available only to the resort's own private guests, all guests at Beach Houses in Paradise also enjoy courtesy playing privileges. (Since the course is not available to the general public, the course is quiet and easy to get on.) Located at the Marriott Hutchinson Island Beach Resort, The Ocean Club—designed by Charles Ankrom—is described as an “18-hole executive course” with a layout that ranges from the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean. Often honored by Golf Digest Magazine as one of the 100 top executive courses in America, nearly every hole has water and the course plays fast.
What also makes it special: it’s designed for fun and accessibility—three sets of tees, manageable yardage, and rounds that can be completed in a relaxed timeframe.
Tip: It’s perfect for mixed-ability groups: beginners to experienced golfers can all enjoy the layout.
Ideal for: Vacationing families, couples, or short-stay golfers who still want to hit the links.
Located in Stuart proper, Sailfish Sands Golf Course offers both a full 18-hole championship course and an innovative “reversible 9” design—meaning one 9-hole loop plays two distinct ways.
\nWhy this matters: The reversible nine is rare in U.S. public golf, and it offers variety and flexibility, especially helpful for travelers with limited time.
Additional plus: The facility includes a Top tracer-equipped driving range and strong practice amenities.
Tip: For a half-day or afternoon round, the 9-hole reversible option is ideal; for a full experience, go 18.
Ideal for: Time-conscious golfers, families with varied schedules, or anyone looking for something a little different while staying in Stuart.
For a “classic Florida” feel with strong conditioning, The Florida Club is hard to beat. Located in Stuart and described as “one of Southeast Florida’s best golf layouts.” Following a comprehensive renovation in 2018, the layout features long, wide fairways surrounded by oaks, pines and palmettos, plus five sets of tees to accommodate all levels of golfer.
\nWhat stands out: The mix of playability and challenge—beginner and weekend golfers can enjoy it, while more experienced players will find strategic interest in finishing holes with water carry or elevated approach shots.
Tip: This is a great choice when you want to play a full-length, well-maintained course but stay within easy drive distance in the Stuart area.
Ideal for: Golfers who want a “serious” round as part of their beach vacation—without traveling far.
Venture about 30 miles north of Stuart and you’ll arrive at a true golf‐destination: PGA Village’s PGA Golf Club. With 54 holes of championship golf designed by legends such as Tom Fazio and Pete Dye, this is a major step up in scale and variety.
\nWhy it's noteworthy: Each of the three signature courses has its own character—wetland corridors, pine stands, dramatic bunkering—making this more than just another “public” golf stop.
Traveler tip: If you have extra time (perhaps you stayed a little longer or are planning a dedicated golf day), this stop is worth it. Pick one course—or if you’re ambitious, play two in a day.
Ideal for: A golf-centric visitor, repeat travelers to the Stuart area, or groups who want a benchmark course experience.
Home to the PGA tour's annual \"Honda Classic\" professional men's tournament (recently renamed the Cognizant Classic after Honda relinquished its sponsorship), PGA National is located 35 miles to the south of your beach house. True to its name, PGA National's golf pedigree is deep: opening in 1981, it has hosted major tournaments including a Ryder Cup, PGA Championships and senior events.
\nAt the heart of the golf experience is the iconic Champion Course, a par-72 layout stretching up to approximately 7,045 yards and designed originally by Tom & George Fazio and later renovated by Jack Nicklaus. The Champion is famed for the three‐hole “Bear Trap” (holes 15-17), widely regarded as one of the toughest stretches in professional golf. The Champion hosts the annual Cognizant Classic, a premiere stop on the PGA Tour each spring. For eager players wanting to follow in the footsteps of the pros, visiting golfers can tee it up on the resort’s multiple championship courses—including The Champion, The Palmer, The Fazio and The Estate. Depending on the time of year, it may be necessary to book a room at the resort in order to play. (room rates as low as $200/night).
\nWhen organizing your Stuart-area golf getaway to Beach Houses in Paradise, consider a flexible, layered approach:
\nThe Stuart / Treasure Coast area offers a delightful blend of accessible, high-quality golf without the crowds or expense often found in Florida’s major resort hubs. You’re close to the beach, the weather is typically benign, and the courses vary from casual resort play (Ocean Club) to full-blown championship experiences (PGA Golf Club). Terrain is predominantly low elevation, coastal woods, wetlands and palm trees—so the visuals are very Florida-classic, but the variety in design and feel keeps each round fresh.
\nAccording to GolfDigest, there are more than 50 courses within 15 miles of Stuart—so you’re truly in a golf-rich zone.
\nWhether you’re on the beach in Stuart for a week of sand and sun or slicing in a golf-focused weekend, these four courses give you a smart cross-section:
\nPack your clubs. Mix rounds with beach mornings or sunset cocktails. And discover why the Treasure Coast is quietly becoming an excellent golf getaway.
\nDid you know that there are only two Nicklaus-designed \"Signature\" municipal golf courses in the world? Both are less than an hour's drive away from your Beach House in Paradise:
\nRedesigned by golf legend Jack Nicklaus in 2006, this stunning course blends coastal beauty with strategic design. Perched along the Intracoastal Waterway, the North Palm Beach Country Club captures ocean breezes and features rolling fairways, expansive bunkering, and fast, true greens — challenging yet playable for every skill level.
\nEnjoy the relaxed luxury of a resort-caliber public course with sweeping water views, a clubhouse restaurant serving locally inspired cuisine, and an atmosphere that feels a world away from ordinary municipal golf.
\n\nA short, scenic drive north brings you to Hammock Creek Golf Club, the other Nicklaus Signature municipal course on the planet — a collaboration between Jack Nicklaus and his son Jack II. Surrounded by palms, wetlands, and native Florida flora, the course weaves through serene landscapes that balance beauty with bite.
\nEach hole offers visual drama: wide landing areas, guarded greens, and the kind of shot-making variety that rewards creativity. It’s a local favorite that still feels exclusive — a hidden gem in true Nicklaus fashion.

\nIf your party is larger than a dozen, consider booking two or more ocean-to-river beach houses, rather than risk ruining everyone's vacation with overcrowding. And we'll help make it more affordable, by discounting the rates 5%!
\n\nHere's how to book multiple beach houses together, and receive the 5% multiple-booking discount:
\n1.) Study the 'availability' calendar for each home, to ensure each is available for your preferred travel dates.
\n2.) If the homes are available, book each house individually.
\n3.) After you have booked the last house, we will apply the 5% discount across all bookings.
\nIt's that simple!
