Whether you are looking for a short term vacation rental or are shopping for that future retirement home, Ocean Village on Florida's East Coast offers more amenities & value for your vacation dollar than just about any oceanfront resort in Florida. This quiet, peaceful resort is located in Ft. Pierce on South Hutchinson Island about 90 minutes north of West Palm Beach, 2 hours to Disney World, 1/2 hour north of Stuart, 15 minutes from Jensen Beach and 1/2 hour south of Vero Beach.

We are located 2 miles south of the northern tip of South Hutchinson Island.

Area Description

The resort features 3 swimming pools (heated in winter), 10 tennis courts, 1 racquetball/squash court, 2 paddle ball courts, a 6-hole miniature golf course and a 9-hole, par-27 executive golf course (longest hole 175 yards - shortest hole 70 yards) which is free in the Off-Season and has a $3 green fee from about Dec 20 until a week after Easter. The resort also has its own 4-Star restaurant, The Inn at Ocean Village which is located next to the largest of the 3 swimming pools. Also featured next to the pool is a pool-side Tiki Bar (great Burger & Fries for a few bucks) which is open for food and drinks about 4 or 5 days a week depending on the weather, a "kiddie pool" for small children, a hot-tub, a boccie court, and an exercise room with sauna and shower facilities.

Activities: Ocean Village is a fabulous place to enjoy a Golf Vacation with no less than 20 championship style golf courses (mostly Fazio, Nicklaus and Gary Player designed) all within a 40 minute drive. Prices range from $15 to $35 for 18 holes with a cart during the off-season. In-season prices are about double. All of these courses are open to the public. Many of them offer "daily fee" golf (play-all-day) during certain days of the week or times of the year. Also most of these courses will not penalize you for a cart fee if you show up by yourself or with an odd number of golfers.

Fishing: Great surf fishing for Bluefish, Pompano and other species right on our beach during the winter months. Excellent fishing at the South Jetty at Fort Pierce Inlet also. The PP Cobb Bridge which connects S. Hutchinson Island with the town of Fort Pierce also has 2 catwalks which offer excellent Indian River fishing as well. There is also great fishing 10 minutes north on the Little Jim Bridge on the causeway to North Hutchinson Island.

Grapefruit League Baseball: Ocean Village is within a half hour drive of the LA Dodgers (Vero Beach) and NY Mets (St. Lucie West) Spring Training Camps...In addition, once spring training ends in early April, the minor league affiliates of both teams (Vero Beach Dodgers & St. Lucie Mets) play a full season of Class A Florida League baseball at these same sites from April to mid-September. Most of these minor league games are played at night and are very inexpensive. You can find discount coupons for many of the Mets games in many convenience stores and in the local newspapers. Although you've probably never heard of most of the players, it's a very enjoyable way to spend an evening.
