5 Trophy Oceanfront Estates and Rare Island Offerings in Florida and Bahamas

Along the oceanfront in Surfside, this exceptional high-floor, flow-through residence at the prestigious Four Seasons Surf Club is defined by direct Atlantic Ocean and sunset views. Expansive terraces extend the living experience outdoors, while the position just below the Penthouse level brings a sense of absolute privacy. Inside, sophisticated interiors balance timeless architecture with a quiet, polished atmosphere suited to both everyday living and entertaining. Beyond the front door, legendary Four Seasons service, security, and amenities shape the cadence of life—thoughtful, seamless, and discreet. Set in Surfside, Miami, the setting pairs world-class oceanfront living with the ease of a fully supported residence, where mornings and evenings are framed by water, sky, and the changing light.

Along the water’s edge in Biscayne Bay, Bird Key offers a rare chance to hold the only privately owned island in the bay. Uninhabited and zoned residential, this 4+/- acre island is surrounded by 33+/- acres of submerged land, set amid clear, blue water and described as a place with no traffic or people. Just 500 yards offshore, south of the 79th Street Causeway, the setting frames sights of Miami’s skyline across the bay. With only four owners having claimed it to date, the island reads as both a blank canvas and an environmental asset: a residential opportunity that could be acquired for environmental mitigation, donated to the public as a natural treasure, or reserved for a singular, private address. Days here would be defined by open water, horizon light, and pure separation.

Size: 37.52 acres

Along the water’s edge in Miami, this shovel-ready development site arrives with approved plans for a striking 8-story glass-and-concrete tower, designed to save years in permitting.

Lifestyle is built into the blueprint, with a 6th-floor pool deck and two dedicated common areas for gathering and unwinding. Practicality meets design through high-efficiency parking infrastructure, including two car lifters supporting 34 on-site spaces, plus eight off-site spaces. Set on a bustling commercial vein near River Landing, Miami’s Hospital District, and Marlins Stadium, it’s a future address shaped for an active, connected rhythm of city living.

Along the ocean’s edge in Plantation Key, this newly completed private estate unfolds across 2+ acres, pairing rare scale with a sense of retreat in the heart of the Florida Keys.

Five ensuite bedrooms are complemented by 5 full baths and 3 half baths, multiple flex spaces, and an elevator that supports easy movement throughout. Expansive covered porches encourage unhurried mornings and long, salt-air evenings, reinforcing the home’s seamless indoor-outdoor living. For work and leisure, an in-home theater, private gym, and a massive ocean-view office add depth to daily life, with the flexibility to accommodate additional sleeping arrangements when needed.

From its elevated setting above Tahiti Beach, Coconut Grove Estate unfolds as a one-of-a-kind, seven-lot holding on Elbow Cay, stretching just over three acres from hillside to shore. Five elevated lots—roughly two acres—include two guest buildings, a large pool, a 100,000-gallon cistern, and a prepared foundation for a future main home, with space set aside for a tennis or pickle court. Below, two beachfront lots spanning just under an acre offer more than 260 feet of pristine shoreline and direct access to Tahiti Beach, connecting to one of the Bahamas’ most iconic sandbars. Completing the land-and-sea rhythm are two 40-foot dock slips at nearby Dorros Cove Marina, setting the stage for days that move easily between beach, boat, and bluff.
