Private Pool & Steps to Ocean: Island Beach House!
Guest rating: 4.5 / 5
Overview
This four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom vacation home sits in a quiet residential pocket of Florida Ridge, near Fort Pierce, just two blocks from a secluded stretch of beach. The single-story house is built around a fenced yard with a heated outdoor pool, making it a self-contained retreat rather than a traditional hotel. Hurricane impact windows and doors, keyless entry, and exterior security cameras reflect its design as a private, standalone rental.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The home sleeps a large group across four bedrooms: a king bedroom, a queen bedroom, and two rooms with twin/full bunk beds plus trundles, one of which also has an extra twin bed. A pack 'n play is available for the youngest travelers, and a crib and high chair round out the family-ready setup.
Kitchen & Indoor Living
The fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances, an island with seating, a drip coffee maker, and complete cookware, dishware, and flatware for preparing meals in. Indoor common areas include five smart TVs, a dining table, and entertainment options like a foosball table, ping-pong table, and board games, giving guests plenty to do without leaving the house.
Outdoor Space & Amenities
The 'Florida Room' area centers on a heated pool (3'-6' deep, warmed to roughly 85 degrees between October 15 and April 15), with a dining area, sun umbrella, lounge furniture, patio, beach chairs and towels, and a gas grill. Additional practical amenities include free Wi-Fi, in-unit washer and dryer, central A/C with electric heat, an ironing board, and free driveway parking for up to four vehicles plus boat, trailer, and RV parking.
Location & Surroundings
The house is roughly 1,574 meters or less from several dining options, including Sharky's seafood restaurant just 412 meters away, Manatee Island Bar & Grill, and Island Beach Bar and Restaurant. It's also close to Ft Pierce Inlet State Park for kayaking and paddleboarding, the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, and multiple fishing charter operators, with Historic Downtown Fort Pierce and its farmer's market a short drive away.
Best for
This property is best suited to families and larger groups traveling together, given its four bedrooms, bunk rooms with trundles, crib, high chair, and yard-and-pool combination. It also appeals to pet owners thanks to its pet-friendly policy (for a fee) and fenced yard, and to beach lovers who want walkable access to a quiet, uncrowded shoreline plus nearby fishing charters and water sports.
Travel tips
The beach is about two blocks away and considered quiet and uncrowded, so a short walk with beach chairs and towels (provided) is an easy daily routine. A car is recommended for reaching Historic Downtown Fort Pierce, the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, and other attractions a few miles out, and driveway parking accommodates up to four vehicles plus boats or trailers. Note the pool heating only runs October 15 through April 15, and quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM.
