Chateau de la Mer

This exclusive oceanfront gated estate is nestled between sun-soaked Jensen Beach Florida and "America's Happiest Seaside City", Stuart FL. (Coastal Living Magazine, 2016 national award winner.) We are proud to be associated with this Southeast Florida landmark that sets a new standard in elegance and luxe vacation living. 

Luxury and elegance in flip flops? Absolutely! (This is seaside Florida, after all.) Wear your t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops to the airport, because that's 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".) Except for the clothes on your back — and perhaps a dinner jacket or elegant dress — we provide all you need for your turnkey beachfront vacation.

And you can't beat the price: 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: this beach house is rented only to one party at a time; you will not be sharing the premises with strangers or unknown travelers.

Own a boat? Bring it! There's room to park your trailer, and plenty of public boat ramps nearby. 

SAVE! Paradise need not hurt the wallet or pocketbook! The owner offers many discounts: military, educators, civil service, rescue and law enforcement, medical and 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.)

The local area is spectacular: Chateau de la Mer is located just one mile north of famed Stuart FL, 2024 winner of the USA Today "Best Coastal Small Towns in America" rankings. (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".

Everything is included free with your rental

From bicycles to beach blankets, from towels to toilet paper, and all points between. (Did you know that fewer than 25% of Florida listings include high chairs for little ones? 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, 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.)

Uncompromising Comfort is Our Standard

MORE THAN 13 ADULTS? Chateau de la Mer might be a tight fit. Please inquire before booking.

A treasure chest of delight

There's even more fun to be had: Chateau de la Mer sits smack dab in the middle of the "Treasure Coast". To this very day, gold doubloons, pieces of eight and other Spanish treasure still occasionally wash up along Hutchinson Island, especially following big storms. (Complimentary beach-comber metal-detectors are provided, of course!)

Help preserve our pristine area

The waters in and around the beach house are among the most biologically rich and environmentally sensitive in the entire United States. The owners of the home are ardent supporters of local environmental groups for 20+ years, with financial support and contributions well into the 7 figures.

Help preserve the natural beauty and sensitive ecosystem surrounding the home:

• Do not touch or approach dolphins, sea turtles and manatees. These are protected species. The Florida Fish and Wildlife officers in their boats have powerful binoculars; they WILL arrest you.
• Be responsible with your fishing tackle. Avoid leaving behind loose lines, hooks and other tackle after a successful day fishing. (Pelicans, egrets, herons and other birdlife get tangled in fish lines or snagged by hooks ... or by fish they've caught who still have a hook in their mouth.)
• Do not litter (this includes urinating into the water, emptying alcohol or soda into the water, and so on).
