4 Bed Oceanfront Home At 8701 Collins Ave 1501

Some homes just make you stand still for a second before you even close the front door. This four bedroom oceanfront villa at 8701 Collins Ave in Miami honestly does that to me every time I step inside. Maybe it is the way the light filters through the windows or how you can already hear the ocean, even with the city quietly humming behind you. I found myself walking straight over to the balcony when I got here, just watching the waves for a good while. You can hear the seagulls now and then too, and if you leave the door open the sea breeze seems to sneak into every room.

There is something about being right above the water but close enough to the city at the same time. You see both, and depending on the time of day the whole mood changes. Mornings are calm with the sound of gentle surf and you sometimes catch the smell of coffee drifting up from a neighbor on another terrace. At sunset, the city lights start to come on and the sky does these colors you can't really describe unless you stand there and see it for yourself.

Inside, there is a real sense of openness. The living area does not really have boundaries. The windows stretch so wide it sometimes feels like the walls are not even there, just stretches of sea and sky and skyline. The kitchen is actually the kind of place where you might end up making pancakes on a weekend rather than just reheating leftovers. There is space to gather and hang out and also a spot to have a quiet cup of coffee when you want to wake up slowly.

Four bedrooms means you can invite guests, or have a home office or keep one just for lazy afternoons where you do not want to be bothered. Every bedroom has that easy going Miami vibe with enough built in storage to hide just about anything away. The master bedroom faces the ocean directly and I know it sounds a little dramatic but waking up with those views might just change your mood for the whole day. Even the bathrooms feel relaxed and inviting, soaking tubs and room to move around. More than just a place to get ready, really.

Eighty Seven Park itself is honestly more like a private resort than what you expect from daily life. There is a full service spa that knows your name after a few visits and a gym with ocean views that somehow makes working out feel less like a chore. I still remember running into a neighbor there who always brings his book so he can read beside the pool after swimming laps. There are actually two pools in the community too, one a bit quieter when you want space and the other where you sometimes hear laughter and the clink of glasses in the late afternoon.

You have a wine bar right on site which makes those spontaneous get togethers or slow evenings with friends just a little bit easier. And there is something about having a lifestyle director around in case you need help with anything. It takes a lot of the everyday stress away. It just feels easy, honestly. The details here make you want to linger and notice the small things, like the smell of the flowers in the garden or just watching the sun slip behind the city.

You are right on one of Miami's prettiest stretches of coastline too. Sometimes you see families walking along the sand or someone out for an early morning run. Being in Florida means the weather is almost always perfect for getting outside or heading into the city for a good meal or coffee. The community feels relaxed but still connected, with enough privacy to feel at peace and just enough energy that you are never too far from something happening.

I always say, these are the kinds of homes you really have to feel for yourself. If you want to walk through or just chat about what living here is actually like, I am around. The only way to know if it is right is to see it with your own eyes and take in the views for yourself. Reach out at any time.
