Form of ownership — condominium. Foreign buyers can purchase real estate in Florida. The transaction is closed at a title company with registration in Miami-Dade County. Online viewings and remote closing by power of attorney are possible.
If You Are Considering It as an Investment
The key feature of this listing is management flexibility. The description states: the unit is included in the hotel management program, which handles rental, bookings, and maintenance. Alternatively, the owner can manage the property independently through Airbnb [source].
The short-term rental rules in Sunny Isles Beach require attention. The city defines short-term rental as a term of 6 months or less. For legal rental, a separate city license is required for each unit, as well as written consent from the condominium association. Additionally required are a Florida DBPR license, Florida tax registration, and a Miami-Dade County tourist tax account. Comparable units in the building are listed as "Airbnb approved short term rentals ok," but this requires documentary confirmation for the specific listing.
The HOA of $2,484 per month is a significant fixed burden. When managing the rental independently, the owner also pays the hotel's guest fee for access to amenities: according to comparable units, it is about $93–$150 per day per guest. The source contains no data on declared yield.
Best Suited For
— Investors seeking a unit in a condo-hotel with the option of either participating in the hotel program or self-managing through Airbnb (subject to building and city rules).
— Buyers who want to use the studio for personal holidays and rent it out when away.
— Those who value resort infrastructure and direct beach access.
May Not Suit
— If your budget does not account for the HOA of $2,484 per month and the tax of about $3,338 per year.
— If you plan to live with pets — not allowed.
— If you are not prepared to verify the rental rules with the association and the city — rental is impossible without a license.
— If information on yield is critical — no data, and expenses are high.
What to Know Before the Deal
The unit offers two management scenarios: the hotel program or independent rental. This is a key difference from listings rigidly tied to the hotel program. However, it is necessary to request documentary confirmation from the seller that the building's bylaws permit short-term rental and that the unit has no restrictions. Under self-management, guests receive access to the hotel amenities for an additional fee, usually paid by the owner or the guest.
When buying, check the association's financial condition, the size of the reserve fund, and the presence of special assessments. The HOA of $2,484 per month is a significant burden.
