Ocean Three sits right on the sand at 18911 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, and it’s the kind of building you notice right away because it’s tall, clean-looking, and all glass facing the water. It was finished in 2003 (designed by Sieger Suarez) and has 215 residences, mostly 2 to 4 bedrooms, with roomy layouts ranging from about 1,591 to 3,945 sq. ft. The best part? Almost every home gets both ocean and Intracoastal views, so you’re always looking at water—sunrise on one side, glowing city and bay views on the other.
Inside the units, everything is made to feel open and bright. The floor-to-ceiling windows bring in tons of natural light, and the balconies are big enough that you’ll actually want to use them—morning coffee, sunset wind-down, or just listening to the waves. Kitchens have a modern European feel with Italian cabinetry, stainless countertops, a glass cooktop, and an eat-in breakfast area that feels practical instead of formal. The primary bathrooms lean spa-like with marble finishes, granite vanities, and frameless glass showers—plus many units have his-and-her setups, which is great when you don’t want to share space during busy mornings. You also get real-life conveniences like a full-size washer and dryer, dual A/C and heating, and private storage.
What residents usually love is the privacy and service. Many homes have private elevator access, and there’s 24-hour security, valet parking, and a full-time concierge, so it feels well-managed and easy day-to-day. Amenities are focused on that “I live at the beach” lifestyle: a heated oceanfront pool, rooftop jacuzzi, fitness and spa areas, sauna, and tennis courts. And when you’re ready to relax, the building also offers beach and pool service, so you can just show up and enjoy.
The location is another plus. You can walk to RK Shopping Center, Heritage Park, and nearby restaurants, and if you need to go into the city, Downtown Miami, South Beach, and the airport are all about half an hour away by car. Overall, Ocean Three feels like a comfortable, classic oceanfront condo—private, polished, and built for people who genuinely want the beach as part of their everyday routine.
