A coastal retreat in the heart of Hutchinson Island
Inlet Village, a four-story condominium complex completed in 1981, stands as a testament to laid-back Florida living on South Hutchinson Island. With 103 units spread across its structure, this community offers residents a prime location less than a mile from mainland Florida, yet worlds away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Situated within the prestigious Marriott resort community of Indian River Plantation, Inlet Village provides a blend of relaxation and recreation, with easy access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon.
Spacious units with picturesque views
Inlet Village offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to more spacious two-bedroom layouts. The one-bedroom units, starting at approximately 700 square feet, feature either one or two bathrooms and are priced around $300,000. These units often come with updated appliances and full-size washer and dryer hookups, providing modern conveniences in a compact space.
The two-bedroom units, ranging from 1,038 to 1,135 square feet, all include two bathrooms and offer more generous living areas. These larger units typically rent from $1,650 per month, making them attractive options for both long-term residents and seasonal visitors.
Many units in Inlet Village have been beautifully renovated, featuring neutral color palettes, tile floors throughout, and updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The bathrooms in several units have also seen upgrades, with some master suites boasting custom tile showers.
A standout feature of many Inlet Village condos is the screened-in patio or balcony, offering residents stunning views of the surrounding golf course, lakes, or even glimpses of the Indian River. These outdoor spaces serve as perfect spots for enjoying meals al fresco or simply relaxing while taking in the coastal breezes and picturesque vistas.
For those seeking a turnkey option, some units come fully furnished in a tasteful coastal style, ready for immediate move-in or as ideal vacation homes. Impact windows and sliding glass doors have been installed in many units, providing peace of mind during storm seasons.
Resort-inspired amenities for an active lifestyle
Inlet Village offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the Florida lifestyle. The centerpiece is a large, heated community pool, perfect for daily swims or participating in water aerobics classes. Adjacent to the pool, residents can find a cabana area and Weber gas grills, ideal for outdoor gatherings and barbecues.
The condominium complex provides private beach access, allowing residents to easily enjoy the pristine shores of Hutchinson Island. For those who prefer freshwater activities, the on-site lake offers a serene setting for relaxation or light recreation.
Inlet Village is part of the larger Indian River Plantation community, which opens up additional amenities to residents. Golf enthusiasts can take advantage of the nearby golf course, while tennis and pickleball courts cater to racquet sport aficionados. A fitness center is available for those looking to maintain their exercise routines.
The community also features a clubhouse, which serves as a hub for social activities and events. For added convenience, the complex offers assigned parking spaces, and many units come with additional storage closets, perfect for stowing beach gear or golf clubs.
Pet owners will appreciate that Inlet Village is a pet-friendly community, allowing residents to share their coastal lifestyle with their furry companions.
A coastal paradise with abundant natural beauty
South Hutchinson Island, home to Inlet Village, is a haven for those seeking a laid-back coastal lifestyle. The neighborhood is characterized by its pristine beaches, abundant natural beauty, and wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities.
Just a short walk from Inlet Village, residents can access miles of beautiful, uncrowded beaches along the Atlantic coast. These beaches are perfect for sunbathing, shell collecting, or long walks along the shore. For those interested in marine life, the nearby Florida Oceanographic Center offers educational experiences and close encounters with local aquatic species.
Nature enthusiasts will find plenty to explore in the area. Bear Point Sanctuary, located at the northern end of the island, is a 13-acre wetland preserve known for its excellent birdwatching opportunities. The sanctuary also features hiking trails and picnic areas, providing a perfect spot for a day out in nature.
For those interested in history and culture, the Elliott Museum is just a short drive away. This local institution houses exhibits on various topics, including vintage automobiles, baseball memorabilia, and local history, offering an enriching experience for visitors of all ages.
When it comes to dining and shopping, South Hutchinson Island doesn't disappoint. The area has become a favored dining destination, with options ranging from casual beachside cafes to upscale restaurants. Kyle G's Prime Seafood and Steaks, a local favorite, offers elegant meals with stunning ocean views. For everyday needs, a Publix supermarket is conveniently located within a mile and a half of Inlet Village, while The Fresh Market, about 3.5 miles away, provides a more upscale grocery shopping experience.
Island living with mainland accessibility
While Inlet Village enjoys a secluded island location, it maintains good connections to the mainland and surrounding areas. The community is primarily car-dependent, reflecting the laid-back, spacious nature of South Hutchinson Island.
For those needing public transportation, there is a bus stop serving Route 3 located about 4 miles away at Ocean Boulevard and Monterey Road. This provides a link to the mainland and other parts of the region, though service may be limited compared to more urban areas.
The island's layout and relatively flat terrain make it somewhat suitable for cycling, especially for leisure rides or short trips. However, for most daily activities and longer journeys, a car is the most practical mode of transportation.
Inlet Village's location provides easy access to major roads connecting the island to the mainland. Residents can quickly reach nearby towns like Stuart and Jensen Beach, both about a 10-15 minute drive away. These nearby communities offer additional shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
For longer trips, the condominium's location allows for relatively straightforward access to larger cities and transportation hubs. West Palm Beach is about an hour's drive south, while Orlando and its international airport can be reached in about two hours, making weekend getaways or hosting out-of-town guests convenient.
The community's ample parking facilities, including assigned spaces and storage for beach gear, cater well to the car-centric lifestyle typical of this coastal area. This setup allows residents to enjoy the serenity of island living while maintaining the flexibility to explore the wider region at their leisure.
