5 Florida Waterfront Retreats and Luxury Living from Miami to the Keys

High above Marathon, this rare 14th-floor penthouse at Bonefish Towers delivers an “Eye in the Sky” vantage over the Florida Keys’ emerald and turquoise-blue waters. Set within the Keys’ tallest 14-floor high-rise, the residence is introduced with a sense of arrival the moment you step through the front door—an experience shaped as much by height as by horizon. The setting feels truly singular, with million-dollar views that stretch outward in every glance, turning sky and sea into daily backdrop. Offered as a one-of-a-kind opportunity in an iconic building, this is a home defined by perspective—where light, water, and elevation become part of the ritual of coming home.

Within the guard-gated community of Weston, 3852 Oak Ridge Cir pairs a brand new roof with a thoughtful, move-in ready update throughout. Inside, new porcelain flooring and a freshly painted interior set a clean backdrop for soaring ceilings and abundant natural light, while a circular driveway makes a polished arrival. The newly renovated chef’s kitchen is finished with granite countertops, updated cabinetry, and ample room for everyday cooking and entertaining. A dedicated office adds flexibility, and the spacious primary suite reads as a private retreat with a spa-inspired bathroom and generous closet space. Indoor-outdoor living is effortless, with a guest bathroom offering direct access to the pool area. Outside, a resurfaced pool is framed by lush landscaping. Residents also enjoy tennis courts, a fitness center, and a community pool—an easy rhythm for South Florida days.

Within a gated community in Homestead, this longan grove offers a working landscape with everyday flexibility built in. The property is currently producing, supported by 100% irrigation delivered through micro jets—an efficient, practical system for ongoing cultivation. Fencing adds a clear sense of boundary and stewardship, reinforcing the feeling of a maintained agricultural setting rather than raw land.
