We'll let the waterscapes do the talking for this contemporary waterfront apartment, in the heart of well-heeled Bal Harbour and just steps from the beach. As soon as you set foot inside this modern home of lofty proportions, there's a luminous feel thanks to the balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, which flood the property with natural daylight. We particularly love how spacious the bedroom feels with a balcony to let the fresh air flow through. While those looking to combine work and play will appreciate the dedicated desk area and there's plenty of space to unpack in the walk-in wardrobe. When it's time to soak up the Floridian sunshine, relax at the apartment complex's beach club on the pristine Bal Harbour Beach (two minutes on foot) – sun loungers and umbrellas are waiting for you. Enjoy a few laps of the shared palm-fringed pool before finding a sunny spot in the shared gardens to soak up views of Florida's Intracoastal Waterways as boats cruise on by. Or hop on one of the apartment's bikes for a ride along the boardwalk. And when thoughts turn to food, the upmarket Bal Harbour shops and restaurants are just a fifteen-minute stroll away for an evening out - you'll be in good company.
