Vacation Rental Description

** Winter 2008 sold out! Now booking mid-April 2009 and beyond. ** 
** 2-month minimum required. ** 
 
This rare 3-bedroom, 2-bath air-conditioned beachfront condo has perhaps the best ocean views  
available on Hutchinson Island! (The "real" Hutchinson Island, not Fort Pierce's North Hutchinson  
Island.) Located on the 20th floor penthouse level of the "Princess" Condo in Jensen Beach, both  
main bedrooms and the living room have full-glass exposure to the ocean. (Yes, that is 15 floor-to- 
ceiling glass windows/doors all facing the beach!) The interesting diamond-shape floor plan provides  
a 225-degree (V-shaped) private balcony with an unobstructed view of the entire beach (north and  
south), one of only 4 such residences at the 200-foot level on all of Hutchinson Island. On clear  
days you can see 17 miles! Breathtaking ocean sunrises greet you in the morning, and the all-East  
exposure protects you from the glare of the mid-day sun. You never see a road and only hear the  
surf! It is not possible to convey in words or pictures the scope of the water view from the 20th  
floor when all you see is water. Breathtaking!  
 
This immaculate 1700 square-foot condo has beautiful tile floors throughout the entry, kitchen,  
dining, living, and bath rooms as well as the den and the balcony. All furniture and furnishings  
were decorator-updated (2002) including the bedroom, living room, dining sets and kitchen  
appliances. It is typically only used a few months each year, so it is very lightly lived in! 
 
The living room (shown below) is a spacious pentagon shape. Two walls are ocean-facing glass (see  
picture) and the adjoining two are mirrored, giving a wrap-around ocean experience! There are twin  
Nutuzzi leather couches each with 2 built-in recliners, plus a stuffed chair and 2 end tables. A 42- 
inch Sony HD-TV (1080i) with hi-def digital cable and 2.1 sound, plus a wet bar, provide your  
entertainment when the sun goes down. We also have a modest DVD collection and some popular board  
games. 
 
The dining room seats 6 although the picture below shows only 4 of the chairs. 
 
The master bedroom (shown in photo below) has a queen size bed, a bureau, an armoire with a 25”  
cable TV inside, and 2 end tables. A carpeted walk-in closet and a clean spacious bathroom with dual  
sinks and tub-for-two adjoins this bedroom. The 2nd bedroom (not shown) also has a queen bed,  
bureau, armoire with cable TV, an end table, and a carpeted walk-in closet. Its bathroom has 1 sink  
and a tiled shower. Both bedrooms are carpeted and have original watercolor seascapes painted by  
local artists. Both beds have comfortable Sealy Posturpedic firm mattresses. A twin rollaway bed is  
available to put in one of these bedrooms to add a third person.  
 
The den (not shown) doubles as a 3rd bedroom, and has a comfortable queen pullout couch, a desk, and  
two chests of drawers. A Dell desktop computer with Windows XP and color inkjet printer is set up in  
the den for your use with high-speed DSL Internet service. The Internet also has a Wireless-N router  
("wifi") which means you can use most laptops with it. 
 
The bright & clean custom kitchen (see photo below) has every appliance you need (fridge,  
stove/oven, dishwasher, disposer, coffee maker, toaster oven, juicer, microwave, blender, Foreman,  
food processor, etc.) and colorful dinnerware for 10. An apartment-size washer/dryer stack is just  
off the kitchen. 
 
Central A/C converts to central heat in the event it gets chilly during your stay. 
 
Designer ceiling fans in all three bedrooms keep you comfortable in all seasons. We  
updated all the blinds and verticals in every room for a co-ordinated fresh look. 
 
Hurricanes Frances, Jeanne & Wilma came across our beloved Hutchinson Island 3 summers ago. The  
Princess came through wonderfully. Modern hurricane shutters protected this beautiful ocean-front  
building from the worst of the high winds and rains. The beach and grounds have been fully restored  
and are ready for you to enjoy, as seen in these new exterior photos. The interior is just as it  
always was, clean and spotless.

Vacation Rental Amenities

The "Princess" was built in 1984 and maintains its reputation as one of the finest and most sought- 
after condominium properties on Hutchinson Island. It is beautifully maintained both inside and out.  
 
The ground floor is common area. There is a game room with ping pong and pool tables, a community  
room with 56" high-def TV and piano bar which can be reserved for large groups, a weight room with  
brand new weight machines, an aerobics room with brand new equipment (2 treadmills with TV, 2  
incumbent bikes, 2 elipticals, a sit-up board, etc.) and a sauna.  
 
There are 19 residence floors, each with 10 condos. The 2 center units on each floor (including  
ours) have 3 bedrooms. On clear days you can see 17 miles from the penthouse floor! (We did the  
math.) You'll see pelicans, terns, hawks, and other wild birds soaring right outside the window,  
plus the occasional aircraft going up the beach at our altitude. No building within 30 miles is  
taller, so you'll see right over our nearest neighbors. 
 
There is a gated entry from the street and a private dune-walk to the beach. Also outdoors is a  
clean swimming pool (heated in the winter to 82 degrees) and a Jacuzzi, both nestled behind dune  
barrier shrubs for privacy and a windbreak (see photo below). Also outside are a bocce court and  
putting green, plus ample parking and a mini-carwash. Two beautiful tennis courts and extra parking  
for boat trailers are across the street. We include 4 tennis rackets, 8 beach chairs, 2 coolers, 2  
boogie boards, a beach umbrella, a beach bag, and plenty of large beach towels for your outdoor  
enjoyment. 
 
The condominium association activity committee organizes frequent social activities during the  
winter season, such as golf outings, bingo games, bocce tournaments, holiday parties, and gambling  
cruises.

Activities and Attractions

Jensen Beach has small-town charm and only 3 stop lights downtown! It is adjacent to the friendly  
city of Stuart, is just an hour north of West Palm Beach, and about 2.5 hours from Disney World. All  
the typical seaside activities are available locally, such as boat tours, fishing, Jet Ski rentals,  
oceanographic tours, and endless beaches. Landlubbers will find that shopping, golf, fine dining,  
casual eateries, local live theatre, and much more are available on the mainland, which is a 10  
minute ride over the new picturesque Jensen Beach causeway. 
 
Walkers and joggers can enjoy miles & miles of pleasant uninterupted sidewalks up and down  
Hutchinson Island, right outside the front gate. There isn't a stop light for at least 8 miles in  
either direction.
