OceanSide condo

Just three miles off shore from Miami, the Oceanside condominiums on Fisher Island offer one of Miami's most luxurious and exclusive residential options. With a distinctive Spanish style that embraces the warm sea breezes, the six buildings that comprise Oceanside provide a rare combination of luxury condo lifestyle and exclusive isolation.

Once the winter home of William Vanderbilt, the 216-acre Fisher Island was later transposed into a private enclave of millionaires. Opened in the 1960s for development, it today remains a restricted development and retreat for such luminaries as Oprah Winfrey. In 2000, it had the highest per capita income in the United States.

Fisher Island offers residents a range of exclusive and necessary services. The Fisher Island Hotel & Resort has been voted Miami's best. You and your guests can be pampered at the Spa Internazionale. Nine-hole championship golf is centrally located, while the Tennis Center offers 18 courts with a choice of surfaces. The condos are located just north of the Marina and Yachting Center. Add biking trails, picnic areas and ocean-side pools. Inside find a billiards area, a full range of exercise options and sauna.

Fisher Island amenities are designed to cater to your every need. Dining island-side means a delectable choice from eight fine and casual restaurants. Your own kitchen needs can be met at the island's gourmet market.

A sense of security and privacy is provided by the island environment and its bridgeless location off the mainland. A 24/7 controlled access security system at Oceanside enhances a sense of privacy and safety. Transportation needs can be met by the car ferry, which serves the island every fifteen minutes, by seaplane, helicopter or yacht. Parking includes two spaces.

The 134 commodious residences range from 2,420 to 7,696 square feet and are configured in two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom lay-outs. The light-filled units are served by wide wraparound balconies that are the perfect place to savor an ocean sunrise, prized by Oceanside residents. Marble floors, sumptuous carpeting and natural woods complement each other in the exquisitely designed interior spaces where kitchens feature European-style cabinetry and granite countertops.

While your needs can be more than met on the island, Miami itself beckons on the near horizon. The cultural rainbow that this cosmopolitan center offers is constantly growing as art museums and entertainment venues are added to the foundation of sports arenas, fine dining, vibrant nightlife and ocean activities. All just minutes away from your island retreat.

For the place where tranquil meets luxury and quick access to the excitement of Miami, Oceanside on Fisher Island should be on the top of your list.
