South Bay Club condo

At one of South Beach's most desirable addresses, the 347 condominium units of the South Bay Club started out in 1966 as the West Plaza Apartments themselves built on the site of the renowned Fleetwood Hotel. The apartments had been inspired by grand and welcoming Puerto Rican hotels of a previous period. Completely redone in 1980, these classic units now offer solid comfort while meeting all the expectations of modern condominium living.

The residences, from studios to penthouses, feature high-ceilinged rooms cooled by central air, completely equipped kitchens, ceramic tile flooring and remarkable terrace views of South Beach.

Residents can avail themselves of the conference center and the convenience store. The elevated Jacuzzi and the finely appointed pool deck offer full views of the Bay. Relax in the steam room or the sauna, or work out in the fully equipped fitness center. Those with a taste for the sea may keep their craft at one of 18 boat slips.

The proximity to the water is matched in appeal by the closeness to some of the best entertainment, dining and shopping experiences in the Miami Area. Steps away are Collins Avenue, Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive. Fine restaurants and trendy nightspots abound, making the neighborhood a destination for visitors and for those who call The South Bay Club home.

And if you want something in the same neighborhood, take a look at the Mirador.
