A private elevator, double-oven oceanfront kitchen, top-floor observation deck with water views for miles, & more.
Wear your t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops to the airport, because that is all you need for your Florida beach-house vacation. We provide the rest. Travel light—and live large—with the fully-stocked, 5-Star-amenity properties of Beach Houses in Paradise! ("We stock heavy, so you can travel light".)
At rates starting at less than $100 per night per bedroom, enjoy 5-star luxury amenities and accommodations at an affordable price (the proverbial champagne on a beer budget!) Note: Xanadu is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.
Xanadu is situated on a private beach in a quiet residential area—there are no condos, high rises, or large public beaches for miles (no crowds, just a beach all to yourself and your group). The Atlantic Ocean is right off your back porch. And right across the street is your own 250-foot-long deep-water private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, & stocked with all your favorite water toys. (complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, bicycles, boogie boards, fishing poles & tackle, & more)
Own a boat? Bring it! Moor it at your own private dock, and there is even room to park your trailer. (Boat ramp is just 1 mile away). RV? Room for that too!
SAVE! Paradise need not hurt the wallet / pocketbook. We offer many discounts: Military, educators, civil service, rescue & law enforcement, medical & more. Active or retired. Even Florida residents save $ (But if you are age 50+, enjoy our SENIOR discount—by definition, the biggest discount of all).

Not only is the home situated in the most biodiverse marine environment in North America (source: Florida Oceanographic Institute), but it's also located in Stuart FL, Winner of the "America's Happiest Seaside Town" award given annually by Coastal Living Magazine (locals — of a certain age that remember The Andy Griffith Show — proudly call Stuart the "Mayberry of Florida")
ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED: From bicycles to beach blankets, from towels to toilet paper, and all points between. (Did you know that fewer than 25% of the Florida listings include high chairs for little ones? Many vacation rentals do not even provide you a full supply of toilet paper (!) or such basics as towels, bed linens, toiletries, paper goods or even cooking essentials like salt, pepper, spices, oils, and other basic staples. And can you imagine arriving to your beach vacation rental, only to discover that there are no coolers, ice, beach chairs, beach towels, beach blankets, umbrellas and beach toys like sand pails, bikes, cornhole, volleyball, kayaks, and horseshoes? Why waste the first day of your precious vacation -- or more money -- shopping at the local Wal-Mart? Instead, book a Beach House in Paradise and begin relaxing the ~moment~ you arrive. (We even pre-heat hot tubs and pools, and put out the bathrobes & towels so your relaxing beach vacation can start the moment you arrive.)
