Modern, comfortable and with quite a few surprises in store, this high-floor home looks out over Biscayne Bay, with wonderful views from its long balcony. Its setting is second to none, right in the heart of the Arts and Entertainment District and just moments from the shore, with its own yacht marina and a waterside park just next door. With all sorts of great restaurants within easy walking distance (several just steps away), it's a perfect choice for a break by the sea.

Inside, everything has been designed for an easy stay, so all you have to do is unpack and start enjoying the city. There's a cool, contemporary style to the place and an open layout to the sociable living space. Whip up a light lunch in the fully-equipped kitchen and serve it either at the dining table or outside on the balcony.

And after lunch, head off to take advantage of some of the building's excellent shared amenities. There's a lovely outdoor pool, a fitness room and even a tennis court.
