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!

Xanadu: "An idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place" (Webster's Dictionary) Xanadu is the all-new luxury 12+BR/6BA ocean-to-river beachfront palace, literally fewer than 10 steps away from the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Featuring Heated Oceanfront Plunge Pool / Hot Tub, a Heated "Shangri La-style" swimming pool on riverside, Private Elevator, Private Dock, 5-hole miniature-golf Putting Green & much more! Enjoy 5-star luxury amenities and accommodations at an affordable price (It's like 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 the newest addition to the growing family at Beach Houses in Paradise. Perched high atop an oceanfront sand dune, the home is so close to the ocean that a child can toss a tennis ball into the water from Xanadu's large oceanfront deck. With 12+ bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, this enormous 4-story retreat is packed with features to delight everyone in your family group, across all ages. A private elevator, double-oven gas-powered oceanfront chef's kitchen, top-floor observation deck with water views for miles, & more. 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 16 ADULTS? The home might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.
