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 vacationâ& more moneyâshopping 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)

We were very impressed with the house, beach and host. It is definitely clean and well stocked as advertised. Communication with Al the manager was excellent from start to finish. When an issue or question arose, Al was right on it. We loved the beach! It's not crowded and has really interesting rock formations as well as plenty of pure sand. The water was blue and warm during our stay in February. I would highly recommend for a large family or two small families.
We had the perfect intimate wedding at La Dolce Vita on New Yearâs Day. The house itself was flawless, beautifully maintained, fully stocked, and incredibly comfortable. We could not have been happier with the location or the amount of space it offered. The beach area provided a truly dreamy backdrop for our ceremony and photos. It was absolutely picture perfect. We would highly recommend this home for a holiday stay, a small family gathering, or a special occasion like ours.
This was everything we could have ever wanted from a vacation. We rented the beach house for our wedding weekend, we live local but wanted to make it extra special. I could not even begin to express how amazing the entire experience was.The owner is available for anything you need, the house is better stocked than my own home, and it is sooooo clean. Every room has a view that leaves you forgetting what you were doing. It was the perfect way to celebrate our wedding, and start our lives.Key Features:-Private and easy kayak/paddle board launch. Both are provided and also life jackets.-Huge primary bathroom with his and hers showers, and a jacuzzi tub for 2. -Elevator to make loading easy-Perfect entertaining space with more games than you could ever play. Board games, card games, puzzles, xbox, play station and more.We may have just gotten married, but we are already planning a family vacation to come back.
Ideal place for family stay especially if you have a boat! We had 16, no problem and the check-in and especially the check out process was the best I've ever seen! Will definitely be back!
La Dolce Vita is a wonderful property! So many amenities! We had a great time. Definitely recommend this property and the property manager, Al responded quickly to our requests!
Check in was very easy. We had some difficulty getting the stove top burners to work and the process for using them was not intuitive. We finally got the hang of it about Wednesday. The kitchen was about cramped with so many of us using it, but otherwise, it was fine.
We rented the house for a family vacation, which then turned into a place for our small wedding reception. The house is great, very spacious and take it serious when you read âfully stockedâ, it really does have everything you could possibly need besides personal clothes and groceries. Everyone had so much fun with the paddle boards! The beach is very clean but the water in front of the house very rocky, so itâs great that they have water shoes, as it hurt to step in barefoot. The plus side of that is that makes it a great environment for the fish and itâs a great place for snorkeling. If youâd like a less rocky ocean, just walk a bit about 100 ft and itâs a rock free shore! There was a lot of mosquitos, due to the bay, so make sure to always apply bug spray on the evening. Our family had a blast, and we will definitely be returning. Overall this place will forever hold a place in our hearts and memory!
The property was in a good location,plenty of parking. Very clean and accommodating for all the guests. I canât say enough but all these properties weâve been staying out past 4 years. Iâve been excellent thank you so much. See you again next year.
This place had everything and more. The welcome basket was amazinh. We enjoyed our vacation. We would recommend this property to anyone. We hope to come back with a group of friends.
This was the most beautiful house/location weâve ever stayed. The boardwalk into the mangroves to a private dock felt like our own nature preserve. The beach on the other side was like a private oasis. There was plenty of space for everyone in our group to have a great time together or sneak away for a little privacy. The host was easy to get ahold of and provided excellent info about the area in the document he sent ahead of our trip.
We had a great week. Property is in the perfect location. The toys, kayaks and paddle boards were huge hits! The small, shaded heated pool was welcome after so much fun in the sun. Thank you for a great stay!
Location is what this house is all about.No need to bring a thing. So well stocked.Any issues? Host responds immediately and there is a repair person there in 20 mins. We enjoyed our extended stay.
Beautiful house with spacious main level. Loved having two family rooms for tv viewing and spreading out. We rent a house for 2 weeks for our family vacation every year and have never been in one as well stocked as this one! It has everything you need. We brought our boat so having the large dock across the street was a big plus. Ocean views are incredible; donât miss the rooftop deck which is perfect for sunning and watching the sun rise and set. House is close to a busy road but most drivers were very courteous; the road could definitely use some speed bumps and flashing lights to slow the speeders. Walking/biking path begins at this property and goes north for several miles which is a big advantage over other homes on this road. We had a couple of very minor issues which were addressed by Al within minutes. Great host and house; highly recommend this property.
We had a group of family and friend come into town for a wedding. Being a large group and the fact that we wanted to stay together, La Dolce Vita was the perfect answer. It was just beautiful and our hosts have thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay perfect. We will definitely have to come back again for another amazing vacation.
We live in South Florida so were able to navigate a short trip this time. We made the most of every minute of it. Great that all of the âbeach toysâ were there for our family to enjoy.
This house was wonderful and is stocked with nearly everything you need! The property management team is fabulous and so reaponsive, with a great attention to detail. I had mentioned something about the wheelchair in the garage in an email to Al and when we checked in, the chair had been brought up for our use! We also forgot a few items and within a week they were at my doorstep. The only negatives about the property is that the downstairs is only accessible via the elevator inside, the layout is a tad wonky, and the road in front of the house was busier than expected, so we opted to forego bike rides. Be sure to check out the dock and river on the other side of the property - I may have prefered it to the oceanside! All in all, a great trip and my family would definitely stay here again!
