Full Floor Penthouse At 2675 S Bayshore Dr PH-01S

Some homes almost make you pause before saying anything at all. This full floor penthouse at Grove at Grand Bay in Miami feels exactly like that. Stepping out of the elevator and into the space, you almost want to whisper instead of talk because the light is somehow quieter up here and the Coconut Grove skyline looks like a painting through the hurricane proof windows. It is honestly one of those places where even if it is your first visit you already want to see the sunrise from the living room and maybe just linger over coffee looking at the water.

The first thing I noticed was the feeling of room to breathe. The ceilings stretch high above you and the glass walls curve around so you see the shimmer of the bay on one side and the city on the other. Sometimes you can watch the boats drift past or you catch a plane far off going out over the water. Even the breeze feels different when you step out onto those long balconies. I kept seeing seagulls gliding past and, for a second, Miami almost slows down up here.

The penthouse covers over ten thousand square feet inside so quite honestly you might find yourself catching your own footsteps echo for a bit. There are five real bedrooms—each one feels like its own little sanctuary. The views follow you everywhere and when the sun sets, you get this golden reflection off the limestone in the dining space. That dining area really catches the late afternoon light and it almost makes you want to cancel dinner reservations and eat in. The living room is just comfortable, not stiff at all. I actually sat down for a bit and it did not feel strange, felt more like somewhere you would want to put your feet up and have friends over.

The kitchen does not feel showy or cold. It is the sort of place where you can actually see yourself making pancakes on a slow Sunday morning or dinner after work when you want to keep things simple. All the finishes have this natural vibe—wood veneer, herringbone floors you can walk barefoot on, soft lighting from above so nothing ever feels harsh. And it is hard not to love those huge bronze doors leading you straight into an office. If you work from home or just like having a quiet space to think, it has that sense of privacy you do not always get with open designs.

Plus, honestly, it is the roof deck that caught me off guard. You head upstairs and suddenly you are in your own little world. There is this massive private pool up there and you get these crazy panoramic views that make you forget you are just minutes from buzzing Coconut Grove. It is pretty easy to see a lazy weekend happening around this pool with friends or family, or just you and a good book. When you are on that roof you get a hint of ocean air mixed with the city energy—just a little quieter up here than down below.

Grove at Grand Bay itself is an iconic piece of Miami architecture, twisting above the city with style but not the sort of flash that wears off. Sometimes when you are in the mood for something lively, you are never far from the little cafes in Coconut Grove or a walk on the bayfront. The neighborhood is full of runners in the early morning and all the palm trees move in the same direction if you look just right.

The way this penthouse uses natural light is probably my favorite part. It is never too much, never too little, just the sort of light that makes you want to spend time at home. Every room opens up to something. You almost do not need a schedule, you can just move through the day finding a new view, a warmer bit of sun, a cooler spot on the tile.

If you are looking for a place with a pulse but also space to breathe, this spot might surprise you. The only real way to know if it feels right is to come walk through it yourself.
