Ocean House South Beach

An ultra-luxury boutique property in the coveted South-of-Fifth enclave of South Beach, Ocean House was marketed as “a private grand beach house” to rival the world’s finest homes. Indeed its residences feel like private houses that have been collected under a single roof, with vast floor plans and luxurious amenities.

The 10-story residential project was completed in 2011 just as the Miami real estate market was beginning to recover from the Great Recession, with the most luxurious properties making a particularly marked comeback. Designed by Nichols Brosch Sandoval and Associates with interior designs by Antrobus and Ramirez, Ocean House is new construction within the shells of two historic art deco structures. The property retains the original facades, and select interior spaces, while a contemporary tower rises above.

Ocean House’s 28 lavish residences are split into two blocks, with 10 of the units being loft-style homes facing Ocean Drive while the other 18 are large beachfront apartments. Inside, each unit offers Wolfe, Miele, and Subzero appliances and Crestron Home Automation Services.

Extensive lobbies and lounge areas for residents’ use, as part of a rich amenity package, are some of the hallmarks of Ocean House life. Residents are encouraged to enjoy the cozy living room anchored by an elegant fireplace, a private screening room, a billiards room with a bar, a library, and an extensive wellness retreat with a fitness center and spa facilities. The private salon for manicures, pedicures, and hair services, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar, with a humidor for additional purchase, are intimate and bespoke amenities catering to owners at this exclusive address.

The exclusive South of Fifth enclave of South Beach, which stretches just a few blocks in each direction from Ocean House, offers fantastic dining options, including Forte dei Marmi, a chic trattoria with an all-Italian wine list, Azabu, an intimate Japanese izakaya where you’ll find sushi made from fish fresh from Japan, and Prima Classe, an Italian cafe and market which is absolutely perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed Sunday brunch. Of course, just behind Ocean House is Miami Beach’s spectacular beach walk, an uninterrupted oceanfront promenade that stretches from nearby South Pointe Park all the way to Bal Harbour.
