Sands Pointe Ocean Beach Resort · #1BC-5

Sands Pointe Ocean Beach Resort, usually called Sands Pointe, is an oceanfront condominium at 16711 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, completed in 1996 at the south end of the city near the Newport Fishing Pier. The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser records it as Sands Pointe Ocean Beach Condo, and the tower rises roughly 28 to 29 stories, with its top residential levels labeled PH, UPH and TS. The county lists 212 residences plus 14 deeded beach cabanas and one other unit. Sands Pointe condos are spacious: the standard lines measure about 1,530, 1,670, 1,730, 1,820, 2,120 and 2,210 square feet, typically eight residences per floor, and two top-level suites measure about 3,650 and 3,790 square feet. Listings show two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den plans of about 1,670 to 2,050 square feet and three-bedroom plans of about 1,820 to 2,120 square feet, with floor-to-ceiling windows, wraparound or dual balconies with direct ocean and city views, separate laundry rooms and two assigned or covered parking spaces for many units. The beach cabanas are a distinctive feature: these roughly 490- to 770-square-foot units sit directly on the sand, are deeded separately and, according to listings, can be leased or rented on their own, some with kitchens and in-unit laundry. Building amenities include an oceanfront heated pool and Jacuzzi, sun deck and cabanas, tennis and pickleball courts, a two-story fitness center, a spa with sauna, steam rooms and yoga room, a billiards and recreation lounge, ping-pong, a theater room, business center, barbecue area, storage, full beach service with chairs and umbrellas, concierge, 24-hour security and covered valet parking. MLS records list leasing as limited, generally one lease per year, with six-month minimums recorded on several listings. The building sits directly on the beach on the ocean side of Collins Avenue, a short walk from the Newport Fishing Pier, Walgreens and the restaurants and shops along the southern stretch of Sunny Isles Beach. Bal Harbour Shops is a few minutes south, and Aventura Mall is a short drive northwest.
