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!

Introducing "Restoration Sands", a 9BR/6BA Scandinavian-style spa/retreat & ocean-to-river beachfront vacation getaway, with a new heated oceanfront swimming pool! Originally a Fortune 500 corporate lodge & fishing retreat (owned at one point by the infamous Enron company) , this sanctuary on the sea was recently remodeled from ground to roof by a Swedish family who appointed it with the latest in Scandinavian styles and décor. Featuring high-end kitchen appliances, sauna, steam baths & more. The home is all-new both inside and out, painstakingly renovated and redecorated to the exacting 5-star luxury standard of Beach Houses in Paradise. Rejuvenate with a beachfront massage -- or yoga class in the sand -- on your own private 100 feet of Atlantic beach. Refresh with a swim in the warm waters of the Atlantic ocean. Revive your spirit. Reinvigorate your relationships. Reconnect with family. Renew the spark. Enjoy our complimentary water toys & recreational items. Kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles, fishing & snorkel gear & more. Jet skis & boats available, too! RVs? Room for them, too! FITNESS / TENNIS / PICKLEBALL / GOLF & MORE SWIMMING POOLS: While the ocean and river are fun, and the home's private heated pool and soothing jacuzzi hot tub are also a blast, some outdoor fanatics still want MORE: So, with your stay of 1 week or longer, the owner includes FREE complimentary passes to 3 resort-style pools at the nearby Ocean Club @ the Marriott Hutchinson Island Resort, conveniently located just 1 mile north of the home. (Your free passes provide access to the private18-hole golf course, tennis/pickleball complex & fitness, too). Shared Dock: The dock at Restoration Sands is shared with another BHIP property, "Nirvana Shores", directly across the street from Restoration Sands.

The property is located a few minutes east of city of Stuart, in Martin County, Florida. What is Stuart like? Are you old enough to remember TV's "Andy Griffith" show? Locals call Stuart the"Mayberry of Florida". * Coastal Living Magazine: #1 Happiest Seaside Town in America (2016) * USA Today: Best Coastal Small Town of 2023 (2nd place) * 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) * 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 And there's more: Our ocean-to-river beach houses are like almost none other in the entire USA.
