Villa Venetian5 Bedroom Waterfront Villa on the Venetian Islands

The interiors follow the same sleek contemporary lines as the exterior, opening toward the outdoor spaces so light and views carry through the house. An office gives anyone who needs to keep working a proper place to do it, and wireless speakers let the music follow your group from room to room.

Outside, the barbeque and outdoor furniture turn the waterfront into the natural gathering point of the day, whether that means a slow breakfast or dinner as the light fades over the water. The property is gated, which keeps the whole setting private.

The Venetian Islands sit right in the middle of everything without feeling like it. South Beach is about five minutes away, Miami International Airport about ten, and everyday errands are close too, with Whole Foods and a CVS Pharmacy each around five minutes from the door.

Villa Venetian suits families and groups of friends who want a waterfront base between the mainland and the beach, close enough to South Beach for dinner but quiet enough to come home to.
