Heaton Companies has announced its newest project, Ouanalao Residences & Resort (pronounced O-wana-loo). Inspired by the native spirit and timeless architecture of St. Barthélemy in the French West Indies, this 12-acre oasis features 25 oceanfront villas and 25 beach cottages fronting the Atlantic Ocean and Indian River Lagoon on South Florida's unspoiled Hutchinson Island. Villas are 4,231 sq. ft. with prices from the $3 millions and features including a private walkway to the beach, elevated oceanfront pools, and more.

Ouanalao invites residents to "own a carefree piece of paradise" with the option to place their oceanfront home in a premier vacation rental program. This idyllic retreat enjoys both sunrise and sunset views, and is further complemented by an impressive selection of amenities, dining and activities.
