5 Waterfront Florida Retreats from Palm Beach Gardens to Vero Beach

Along the water’s edge in Palm Beach Gardens, this 2022-built Hudson model at Artistry Palm Beach is set on a desirable oversized lot with a nature trail behind it. Inside, the layout pairs four bedrooms and a flexible den with a spacious loft, while a 2.5-car garage adds custom organization and an expansive driveway for at least six cars. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully upgraded with ceiling-height cabinetry, a large quartz island, a walk-in pantry with wood shelving, and GE Monogram appliances including a 48″ range and refrigerator. Living and dining areas center on a custom fireplace and TV feature wall, complemented by a built-in wine display with lighting and electric blinds. Outdoors, a covered lanai with ceiling fans overlooks a pool and spa with an automated iAqua system, plus an outdoor kitchen, fire pit lounge, paver deck, and lush landscaping for effortless evenings at home.

Along the water’s edge on Bethel Creek in Vero Beach’s sought-after central beach, this residence frames panoramic wide-water and sunset views with a true boater’s setup: deep water, a seawall, private dock and ramp, plus direct Intracoastal access. The +/- .44-acre lot sits just two blocks from the beach, with a sparkling pool, lush landscaping, and thoughtful lighting shaping the outdoor experience. Inside, a bright eat-in kitchen offers abundant workspace and a walk-in pantry for easy everyday living. A split-plan layout creates privacy, including a dedicated guest wing with laundry, storage, and an office, while generous room sizes keep the atmosphere relaxed and unhurried. A newer metal roof adds peace of mind, and a detached garage includes an air-conditioned game room—or flexibility for a four-car garage—set off by an attractive brick driveway.

Along the water’s edge at the end of a cul-de-sac, this lakefront residence in Parc Chardon at Mizners Preserve is designed for easy daily living and effortless entertaining.

At the center, a newly updated chef’s kitchen brings premium finishes and modern styling, while a newly completed custom bar in the living room sets the scene for evenings spent watching waterfront sunsets. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and three full bathrooms—including a Jack-and-Jill—are joined by a large loft suited to a media room, game room, fitness area, or second family room. Outdoors, an oversized backyard features a summer kitchen, pool and spa, and lush tropical landscaping with serene lake views. Clubhouse amenities include a gym, tennis, pickleball, and a resort-style pool.

Along the water’s edge on S Indian River Drive in Jensen Beach, this custom build-to-suit residence by Rock Solid Structures pairs contemporary coastal living with serious engineering. The plan offers approximately 2,500 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a two-car garage, topped by a third-floor entertainment space oriented to wide water views. Outdoor life is equally intentional: roughly 1,200 square feet of elevated rooftop living features a rooftop pool, while an additional 1,000 square feet unfolds at ground level alongside a waterfront gazebo made for easy entertaining and unhurried relaxation. Built with advanced concrete and composite materials, the home features a flat concrete roof, zero drywall construction, ductless HVAC, and an energy-efficient design. Hurricane- and fire-resistant construction brings a rare sense of calm to everyday life by the river.

The extensively remodeled CBS residence pairs clean lines with artistic finishes, impact glass, a standing-seam roof, and new plumbing. In the gourmet kitchen, a Wolf range, Electrolux double ovens, and a Vinotemp wine fridge sit beside river rock–inspired granite.
