5 Waterfront, Modern, and Resort Homes Across South Florida

Along the water’s edge in Davie’s highly sought-after Westridge community, this former model home is set on one of the neighborhood’s finest and most private waterfront lots. More than 5,800 square feet of beautifully updated living space unfolds with a sense of ease, balancing generous scale with a polished, lived-in comfort. The setting is equally compelling: a sprawling 1.02-acre parcel that brings a rare feeling of space and separation, where the waterfront backdrop becomes part of the daily rhythm. From quiet mornings with the water nearby to evenings enjoyed in the privacy of the lot, the experience here is defined by breathing room, thoughtful updates, and a coveted position within the community—an address that invites you to settle in and savor the calm.

On one of Bay Heights’ most sought-after streets, this fully remodeled mid-century modern residence balances crisp updates with an easy, everyday flow. Inside, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors run through spacious living and family rooms, complemented by a separate dining area for more formal gatherings. The open-concept kitchen is finished with granite countertops, while beautifully updated bathrooms bring a clean, current feel throughout. A flexible bonus space—ideal as a rec room—features a private entrance, adding welcome versatility for work, guests, or hobbies. Full impact windows and doors offer a thoughtful layer of comfort, and abundant storage keeps the interiors feeling effortless. Outside, the 9,254 SF lot is framed by a concrete privacy wall and primed for a dream garden. From here, access to Key Biscayne, Brickell, Downtown Miami, Coral Gables, and Coconut Grove feels refreshingly close, with US-1 and I-95 within easy reach.

Set on 2.76 acres in the Redlands area of Homestead, this tropical oasis pairs serene grounds with two private 3/2 homes and an immaculately kept grotto designed for long, sun-filled days outdoors. The grotto invites swimming and lingering, with a spacious outdoor seating area, a tiki hut, and a gazebo creating natural gathering zones. For evenings and events, an amphitheater and stage area set the scene for live music and entertainment, complemented by a separate outdoor restroom with A/C and a fireplace. The front house includes a 2-car garage, a Florida room, and a covered patio with an outside kitchen. A second residence offers a 1-car metal carport, tile flooring, an additional room, and its own covered patio—an easy backdrop for ceremonies, shoots, or a private retreat.

Along the water’s edge in Marathon, Lot 2 at Shipman Point pairs a brand-new build with a setting made for life on the Keys. Positioned just two in from open water, the home captures gorgeous open-water views while keeping your boat in a protected canal. For anyone who measures days by tides and forecasts, the details matter: approximately 63 feet of dockage, canal protection, and a hardened shoreline secured by both a concrete retaining wall and a concrete seawall, with room for a boat lift. The result is a waterfront experience that feels both effortless and secure—easy departures for a day on the water, and a calmer return at dusk. It’s a place designed for boating access, quiet perspective, and the simple ritual of watching the water change.

Along the water’s edge in guard-gated Doral Isles, this two-story single-family residence delivers a relaxed, resort-minded way of living with generous interior volumes and a lakefront setting.

Beyond the front door, the community clubhouse anchors the lifestyle with multiple pools and a jacuzzi, a fully equipped gym and sauna, and an array of courts for tennis, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and baseball, plus a restaurant/bar and party rooms—all included in the HOA. Ownership also includes an assigned lease through July 9, 2027, offering a defined timeline to settle in.
