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 (North) is an ALL-NEW, completely remodeled and redecorated 6-bedroom, 3.5-bath waterfront utopia … disguised as a beach house! Optimized for families with children, this five-star luxury home features a heated swimming pool plus spa, outdoor summer kitchen/grill & play area, private dock on the Indian River, and more. (The Indian River is the most biodiverse estuary in North America, teeming with fish, dolphin, manatee and 4000+ species of marine life). And perhaps best of all, Aquatopia North just one short block away from the Atlantic Ocean. (Because the home is not located ~directly~ on the Atlantic ocean, it represents the best value for your vacation dollar of any of our BHIP properties) And -- like every B.H.I.P. property -- you enjoy our complete set of complimentary water toys and recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing gear, snorkel gear, and so much more. Jetskis & boats are available, too! About Events: Because parking is limited to only 6 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 8 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? 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).
