ALL-INCLUSIVE / EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED:
From bicycles to beach blankets, towels to toilet paper, paddleboards to picnic baskets, and all points between. Did you know that fewer than 25% of the FL listings on VRBO include high chairs for little ones? And less than half of listings include an iron/ironing board? (Experiment with the VRBO "More Filters" search feature and see for yourself) Many vacation rentals don't 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 & other basic staples.
And can you imagine arriving at your 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, & horseshoes? Why waste the first day of your precious vacation—& 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 & pools & put out the bathrobes & towels so your relaxing beach vacation can start the moment you arrive.)
No hidden fees: Other vacation-rental companies nickel & dime you with surcharges such as pool-heating fees, Wi-Fi surcharges, fees for using shampoos & soaps, rental fees for kayaks, bikes & paddleboards, even a fee if you don't empty the refrigerator at the end of your stay(!) At BHIP, there are no hidden surcharges, fines or penalties.
VIDEOS, 3D TOURS, FLOOR PLANS & MORE: Want a closer look at the beach house? Just ask! We have videos, architectural floor plans, Immersive 3D Tours, and more. (Note: All communications must take place on the VRBO platform; this home is available only via VRBO)

(And #1 winner of the "Happiest Seaside Town in USA" award by Coastal Living Magazine!) Locals of a certain age—that remember TV's "The Andy Griffith Show"—proudly call Stuart the "Mayberry of Florida".

With 12 of us, aged 8-70, it was in the perfect location. Having the paddle boards and canoes and the pool gave lots of options. We didn’t begin to discover all the neat things in the storage room. My husband said best shell beach we’ve been to. Having the elevator was a huge plus.
My sisters and I had a wonderful time at Nirvana Shores. The staff has truly taken steps to enhance your vacations with an exceptionally well equipped kitchen . There are complimentary toiletries and extra towels .The beach area has plenty of towels, water shoes , sunscreen and toys. The location is beautiful and we LOVED the fact that there are no last day clean up chores. The whole experience was great.
This was our second stay at this property. The reason we returned was that it now only was a great house but we loved the beach on the Indian River.Although we had access to a beach on the ocean, the river beach had much calmer waters for the kids to play in as well as using the the toys such as the kayak and paddle board.
We had such a great stay here. We fished off the dock, we did see some manatees and caught barracuda! We had so much fun on the waves in the ocean, the road was a little busier that we expected but it wasn't too bad. When they say they have everything, they have EVERYTHING! If we needed it, they got it there within the hour.
We tried to book the house again for next year before we even left and it was booked already if that tells you anything. The most perfect vaca house, the fishing was top tier, heated pool, beach area. BEYOND CLEAN! This is the second time renting through Al and it’s hard to want to go anywhere else bc of the experience. You need for nothing-check in and out is seemless, there’s no cleaning and turning down the house-you just leave. I cannot say enough on how amazing the house, management, and location is….but if you’re the person renting next year and able to switch weekshahah, but seriously. Top tier experience!
The host went above and beyond to satisfy us and ensure we had a relaxing stay. They thought of everything to make sure we were comfortable and well prepared. This house was incredible, with more than enough room for our whole (extended) family. They were extremely well stocked with toiletries (even beyond typical expected hotel type toiletries), linens, toys, beach equipment, kitchen items, etc. The host has seriously thought of everything! We could not have been more pleased. We look forward to booking with them again in the future. Thanks for a great week and fabulous stay! Highly recommend!
Family of 11 from MN, House is well stocked for everything and everyone. So much to do right at the property. We used so much from the Q&A! Grocery store 2 miles away, ordered a special cheese cake for a birthday celebration, rented a pontoon from Feet Wet that was so close and so nice, had True Roots Catering cook for us in our home, what a great experience. Ate at the restaurants listed and shopped in down town. We need a vacation from our vacation just to rest up!😃
This vacation home is fantastic! It’s large and accommodating for extended family. It’s situated on three levels, so we got plenty of exercise! Everything you could want was supplied. You just had to say, “I wish they had a …..” and then open cabinets and drawers until you found it! With access to both the river and the ocean, it was a marine adventure. We had some rainy days but there was plenty to do in the house and on covered outdoor areas. It was a lovely and lively family vacation!
The management company took care of everything on this trip. Anything you could think of needing was already provided. It made for a stress free vacation. We had a couple issues along the way. There was a leak in a dishwasher that caused water to leak over the kitchen that was taken care of within an hour. The microwave would not turn on, one night and was fixed first thing in the morning. The house and location were better than even in the pictures/video which is saying something. Our biggest "issue" with the house was that although there are multiple great places to relax, there was not one large outdoor gathering area. Overall, the experience and house were amazing. We would not hesitate to rebook here
This house exceeded our expectations! EVERYTHING was provided (except food but a Publix is just up the road)!! The house was spacious and gave all of us a place to gather or spend some alone time.
We enjoyed fishing from the dock, using the water toys, walking on the beach, swimming in the ocean, making s'mores at the firepit (wood provided!), relaxing in the hot tub, playing in the pool, cooking in the fabulous kitchen with river views, having an unlimited supply of ice via two ice machines!, etc, etc, etc! I should also mention witnessing baby turtles leaving their nest and making their way into the ocean and seeing a mother manatee and her baby swimming in the river right off the dock
We definitely give this special place a superior rating and strongly recommend it to any family or group looking for a perfect gathering spot. You will not be disappointed!
We absolutely loved this property. The house is beautiful and very well stocked as advertised. The views from the top deck and hot tub are breathtaking. We ate dinner on the top deck and watched the sunset every night. I don’t think there is another property on the island that would offer that view. The pool gets some nice afternoon sunshine and has plenty of space to lounge around and socialize. The cons to the property are few but we did have a couple. The beach area is very rocky and with the winds there, it creates difficult swimming conditions. We were glad we were on the river side which lessened the wind that we were getting. The kitchen is stocked with every cooking gadget and utensil possible, however the cooking area is very tight around the oven, stove and fridge. Only one person can be in that area at a time which for a house this size is a little bit of a challenge. Other than a few minor issues we had no worries the entire week. The host is extremely quick to respond to any questions and handle any issues that come up. This was my first time renting from VRBO and I would definitely do it again based on our experience at Nirvana Shores.
Jan 2024, 7 night stay. This property was perfect for our large family. We had children ages 3 months to 9 years and several adults. Everything you need besides groceries and clothes is provided for you! That is no joke! The house is large and laid out well. Little things such as built in baby gates on all the stairs, multiple high chairs, pack n plays, not to mention all the beach gear! So very helpful! The ocean side is a quick walk across the street to a beautiful beach. The river side (which is ocean water combined with the Indian River I believe, and no gators or anything like that) is the best! The beach at the house is protected by the wind and very shallow for little ones. It's warm back there and the sandy bottom is perfect! Our little ones were out there every day playing on the lily pad, the paddleboards, kayaks and of course all the sand toys. This place made our vacation easy and we had a great time! The location is outside of town but close enough for a short drive to a target or wal mart or publix. Downtown Stuart is nice with shopping. If I had to come up with a negative it's that the listing states 8 bedrooms. There are 5, 4 really nice ones, I in the lowest level that has a few bunkbed in it that is very small. The other "bedrooms" are really beds put in curtained nooks within the house. Very well done and convenient but not an actual bedroom. Overall this is a beautiful place, set up perfectly for large family gatherings.
4 th year on the island and first at this property. It was a wonderful time and this year was the best so far! So much to do and all included!! Can’t say enough about how awesome the property, host and family time was.
Nirvana Shore beach house is just beautiful. My daughter kept referring to it as the Beach Mansion.
It was as clean as could be and the service from the
mgr. was excellent.
We had a great family vacation here. Wow and what an amazing place. We could not believe all the details they thought about to make our stay unforgettable! They were also so responsive during the stay with a couple things we needed help with. Well worth the price. Highly recommend this home for your next family vacation!!!
This is a fantastic property, true luxury. The house is laid out very well to give all the guests their privacy, and the 3rd floor is extra large so that everyone can gather for meals, evening movies or games. Our entire family loved it!
Fantastic home in the perfect location. Short stroll to the ocean side beach to watch the sunrise, listen to the surf and play in the waves. Then back to our home to watch the sunset over the riverside waters that was home to pelicans, ospray and so much more wildlife.
