There are places where the sky just seems wider and the sea seems closer, and this villa at 17749 Collins Ave PH43 is absolutely one of them. Some homes tug at you from the second you step inside, and here, even before I made it through the main doors, I caught that first breath of fresh salt air coming in from the Atlantic. There's an ease to this place that you feel right away. Honestly, sometimes you almost forget your phone because all you want to do is stop and look out at that view.
This is a true oceanfront villa, sitting high in the Florida sunshine in Miami, but you also get those winding blue lines of the bay and the city skyline just far enough off to remind you you're right in the heart of things. It is rare to find a home where you wake up and see the ocean and Downtown Miami at once. You might leave the curtains open here all night, just to catch the first sunrise over the water. When I stood by those floor to ceiling windows, there was this feeling, like the whole ocean just belongs to you for a moment.
The villa itself is spacious without being cold at all. Four proper bedrooms, not just big but shaped like real rooms you'll actually use, and six and a half bathrooms, which just feels practical, especially if you have people over or everyone is getting ready at once. The finishes make it feel solid. There are marbles under your feet that keep things cool, but also rich wood floors in parts, which I like because it softens things up and never feels too grand or fussy. You can tell attention went into every corner. You'll also notice how the sun moves through the rooms, making different spaces feel new throughout the day. That kind of thing becomes part of your routine more than you expect. Some days you just find yourself drifting from room to room chasing the light.
The real heart here is that open entertainment area. Nine thousand square feet or so, which means you never really bump into each other. There's something about the way this villa is laid out that invites gatherings but also gives you space for little quiet moments. The kitchen is more than just nice to look at. It actually feels like somewhere you'd want to cook, or, honestly, if you let a chef take over, you can just relax. There's a top line kitchen along with a separate chef's kitchen tucked out of the way when you need it for bigger occasions. Plus, a custom bar where you can imagine mixing something after dinner or on a weekend afternoon when friends come up from the beach.
Stepping outside onto the terrace, you get a feeling of openness that most homes just never have. The terrace wraps around, so you never lose sight of the ocean, and there's space for pretty much anything. Some afternoons, I could just picture reading out there with the sound of the water below, or having people around the pool for a lazy Sunday. Evenings might find someone fixing something in the summer kitchen while others drift into the spa. At night, the lights of Miami begin to flicker, and the city becomes your backdrop.
Living in The Mansions also means concierge services that actually make things simple, like having someone always ready to help but never in your way. It just makes daily life feel easy, almost like having a friend around who knows what you need.
You notice little things here, like how quiet it gets once the doors close, or how you're never more than a few minutes from good coffee or a walk by the water. Sometimes you'll hear kids biking down the street in the late afternoon, reminding you that this part of Miami is as much about family as it is about sunshine and nightlife.
Hard to really tell someone what a place like this feels like just from words. The only way to know for sure is to come see it and let yourself slow down for a minute to take it in.
