If island life is what you are looking for, then search no more; the Venetian Islands in Miami Beach is the perfect location for you. San Marino, Di Lido, Rivo Alto, and Belle Isle Islands fall within the Miami Beach city limits, and offer buyers a Miami Beach waterfront sanctuary, without sacrificing location or tranquility. Within close proximity to the islands is the Sunset Harbor area, along Purdy Avenue, Bay Road, and West Avenue between 20th Street, Alton Road, and Dade Boulevard.
Although many people love to shop for clothes and accessories, that is not everyone’s cup of tea, or shall we say pina colada, which is why Sunset Harbor Shops puts an emphasis on being the home to an array high-end, gourmet restaurants and cafes such as Pubbelly, Lucali, Icebox Café, Purdy Lounge, True Loaf Bakery, and Panther Coffee. After dining on such decadent food, you can work out at Barry’s Boot Camp or find your Zen at Green Monkey Yoga.
The convenience does not end there, as the Sunset Harbor area is home to two grocery stores – Publix and The Fresh Market. As for other restaurants and cafes, you can find Burger & Beer Joint, Sushi Garage, Mario the Baker, Savory Bakery & Café, and Purdy Lounge. If you are looking for something a little more health-conscientious this area boasts quite a few popular, healthy options such as Jugofresh, Milk Gone Nuts, and Juice Lab.
Other businesses in the area that facilitate the lives of Venetian Islands residents include Office Depot, Public Storage, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Miami Beach Auto, Texaco, Chase Bank, and Martino Tire of Miami Beach. For the four-legged family members there are three veterinarian options, which include Bay Road Animal Clinic, VCA Alton Road Animal Hospital, and South Beach Animal Hospital.
For those looking for an opportunity to get out and enjoy the natural beauty of Miami and the beaches, Sunset Harbor offers Maurice Gibb Memorial Park along Purdy Avenue, which serves as a gateway to the Intracoastal Waterway of Biscayne Bay. This is a popular launch point for kayakers and stand up paddlers. Pace Picnic Island, just a short paddle from the park, is a nice island to enjoy lunch and to relax.
Finally, Sunset Harbor Yacht Club is the ideal place for the avid boater to dock their yacht. This Miami Beach marina can accommodate vessels from 45 to 150 feet long with 125 slips. This unique equity membership club program offers owners and shareholders a piece of prime, waterfront real estate. In addition to their wet slips, members have access to an Olympic-size heated pool, Internet digital satellite TV, a private fitness center, and a personal dock box, among other amenities. No matter what you are looking for, Sunset Harbor Miami Beach offers something for everyone, especially for Venetian Islands’ residents.
