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!

Italian for "The sweet life", La Dolce Vita is an 8-bedroom, 5-bath European-style luxury pool home which sits directly on the Atlantic Ocean, and directly across the street from the Indian River (w/private dock). Get everybody together at your own private beachfront luxury home, & live the sweet life. (La Dolce Vita is especially well-suited for family reunions, groups of friends, and religious/corporate/group retreats.) Already a high-end luxury beach villa, the majestic property was further upgraded and restored recently with all-new beds & furnishings, 4K UHD TVs, water toys, high-speed business-class Wi-Fi internet, & more. La Dolce Vita is one of the few BHIP homes that feature both a built-in heated pool & a private elevator (no more stairs!) Plus: With its huge double-oven kitchen & spacious open floor plan that can entertain up to a few dozen in the same room (see pictures), and ample parking, this sparkling palace is one of our best-suited beach houses for small events & gatherings (Note: La Dolce Vita is *NOT* a party house) With 8 bedrooms and 5 baths,100 linear feet on both the ocean and bay/river, a big oceanfront relaxation deck (and separate observation/sundeck), plus riverfront dock, and more than 3600 square feet of bedrooms, bathrooms and living area, La Dolce Vita is among the largest and most luxuriously appointed ocean-to-river beach houses available in the USA. And 15 paces from your front door is a nature-preserve walkway that leads to your own 300-foot-long deep-water private dock on the Indian River, offering some of the best fishing in the world, and stocked with all your favorite water toys. Enjoy our complimentary water toys & recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing & snorkel gear & more. Jet skis & boats available, too! RVs? Room for them, too! MORE THAN 12 ADULTS? The home might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.
