A day in the life
You wake at 226 W Rivo Alto Drive, a 2024 landmark residence known as Sanctuary on the Venetian Islands. Spanning 6,439 square feet with five bedrooms and ten baths, this private oasis sits suspended between Miami and Miami Beach, where the water moves gently and the world falls quiet. Step outside beside your private pool to greet the morning.
Your weekday rhythm connects easily to the mainland and the coast. You are about a three-minute drive from Lincoln Road, the Miami Beach Convention Center, and South Beach, and about four minutes from Downtown Miami and Bayfront Park. The home is positioned among Star, Palm, Hibiscus, and Sunset Islands and the oceanfront condominiums along Collins Avenue.
Dinner choices abound nearby. Savor seasonal claws and key lime pie at Joe's Stone Crab, Miami's century-old stone crab institution, or head to Prime 112 for steaks and truffle fries. For upscale Southern comfort food, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar serves celebrated fried chicken and biscuits.
Local culture is moments away. Tour artist studios, residencies, and free exhibitions at Oolite Arts on Lincoln Road, or walk through commissioned beachfront installations at Faena Art in the Faena District. Near the Bass Museum, VISU Contemporary presents photography-forward contemporary collections.
Coastal air defines the neighborhood. Walk along the elevated Miami Beach Boardwalk stretching to 46th Street, or visit South Pointe Park for its pier, splash pad, and cruise ship views. Further north, Haulover Beach Park features an ocean beach, a marina, jetty fishing, and a clothing-optional section.
Weekends offer shopping at Lincoln Road Mall, Española Way Village, and the Lincoln Road Farmers Market. Spend evenings amid the energy of Ocean Drive and Collins in South Beach, or reserve a table at Cecconi's Miami Beach.
Life on the water connects to Biscayne Bay, inland waterways, and access toward Government Cut and Haulover Inlet. Water depth varies by island and canal—sound the slip at mean low water and verify bridge clearances for your route, as vessel fit serves strictly as a preliminary screen.
Simon Gedz, representing South Florida real estate since 1995, warmly invites you to tour this Venetian Islands residence and discover its quiet elegance in person.
