What counts as a luxury rental in Bal Harbour?

On this page, a Bal Harbour rental asking $10,000 a month or more. At that level nearly every listing is a residence in one of the oceanfront towers on Collins Avenue, often furnished and leased for the winter. The figures on this page show what is on the market now and what similar residences have recently leased for.

When should I reserve a winter rental in Bal Harbour?

Begin looking in the spring or early summer for the following winter. Returning tenants tend to rebook their Bal Harbour residences before they leave, and association approval adds weeks on top of that. A stay that begins in November or runs past Easter can open residences that are already committed for the peak months.

Can I rent a house in Bal Harbour instead of a condo?

Occasionally. The gated residential section west of Collins Avenue has a limited number of single-family homes, and only a handful lease in any year. If a house matters more than the address, we also watch neighboring Bay Harbor Islands and Surfside while we wait for one to come up in Bal Harbour.

Are Bal Harbour luxury rentals furnished?

Most seasonal ones are, and the furnished and seasonal pages collect them. Furnishings in Bal Harbour range from an owner's own collection to a designer package installed for renting, so ask for photographs of the current rooms and a written inventory rather than relying on the listing photos alone.

Can international renters lease in Bal Harbour without a US credit history?

Yes, many do. Owners and associations in Bal Harbour usually accept a passport, bank or brokerage statements showing funds well above the rent, a reference from a previous landlord and, for a seasonal stay, payment of much of the lease in advance. We agree the paperwork with the listing agent before you apply so the association file is complete the first time.

Are pets allowed in Bal Harbour's oceanfront buildings?

It depends on the tower. Some Bal Harbour associations welcome small dogs, some limit pets by size or number, and some do not allow tenants to bring pets at all, whatever the owner would prefer. The pet-friendly page lists residences whose owners accept pets, and we confirm the building's rule in writing before you apply.

Can I lease a Bal Harbour residence for just a few weeks?

Usually not. Many Bal Harbour buildings set a minimum lease term and limit how often a unit can be leased, and the village has its own rules on short stays, so a stay of a few weeks rarely fits. A lease of a month or longer is more workable, subject to the building's current rules, which we check first.

Bal Harbour Luxury Rentals

Live BeachesMLS rentals matching this search in Bal Harbour, Florida, updated throughout the day.

Bal Harbour's luxury rentals asking $10,000 a month or more are condominium residences in the oceanfront towers along Collins Avenue, on the stretch between 96th Street and Haulover Inlet, where the newest full-service buildings stand among towers built decades earlier. Winter residents take them furnished, by the month or the season, with the best committed before January, while an annual lease at this level is rare. Each association approves its own tenants and can set a minimum lease term, so we confirm the building's rules and what the rent includes, from beach service to a cabana, before you apply.

The Oceanfront Towers of Bal Harbour

Nearly every luxury rental in Bal Harbour is a residence in one of the condominium towers on the ocean side of Collins Avenue, on the short stretch between Surfside and Haulover Inlet. Newer full-service buildings such as the St. Regis, Oceana Bal Harbour, Rivage and the Ritz-Carlton stand beside towers built in earlier decades, and the difference shows in ceiling heights, private elevators and the size of the terraces. Because the village is so compact, the choice comes down to the building, the line and the view rather than the neighborhood.

A Winter Address in Bal Harbour

Bal Harbour fills with winter residents, many of them from Latin America, Europe, Canada and the Northeast, who take a furnished oceanfront residence for a few months each year. Plenty of them return to the same unit season after season, so the calendar for the coming winter is often settled by the end of the previous spring. Leases run by the month or for the whole season, subject to each building's rules on minimum terms. An annual lease on a luxury residence in Bal Harbour is less common and usually comes up when an owner is abroad for a long spell.

What the Rent Covers in a Bal Harbour Residence

Two Bal Harbour residences at similar rents can include very different things, so we compare them line by line. Ask whether the rent covers electricity, internet and cable, whether the building's beach service with chairs and umbrellas is part of the tenancy or billed separately, and whether a cabana or pool chair assignment comes with the unit. Confirm how many assigned parking spaces or valet passes are included, whether a storage locker is available and who pays for housekeeping during a seasonal stay. For a furnished residence, ask for a written inventory with photographs, because the security deposit is measured against it when you move out.

Tenant Approval in Bal Harbour Buildings

In Bal Harbour the association, not only the owner, decides who may move in. Most oceanfront buildings require an application, identification for every adult occupant, a background check and proof of funds, and some ask to meet the tenant before approving. Boards can set a minimum lease term, limit how many times a year a unit may be leased and restrict pets or vehicles, and the village keeps its own rules on short stays as well. These rules differ from tower to tower and change from time to time, so we request the current leasing rules for the building before you commit to a residence or pay a deposit.

Houses in Bal Harbour's Gated Residential Section

West of Collins Avenue, behind a guarded entrance, Bal Harbour's residential section holds a limited number of single-family homes on quiet streets, some of them on the waterways with access to the bay. Houses here seldom come up for lease, and when one does it tends to go to a tenant who wants privacy, a garden and a dock within walking distance of the shops and the beach. Before you apply for a house we confirm how guests and service providers are registered at the gate, what the dock can take, whether the owner keeps the slip and who looks after the pool, landscaping and hurricane preparation.

Daily Life Between the Shops and Haulover Inlet

Renters choose Bal Harbour partly because so much is on foot. Bal Harbour Shops sits across Collins Avenue from the towers, the beach path runs behind the buildings, and Surfside's cafes are a short walk south. To the north, Haulover Inlet and Haulover Park open the way to the ocean for boaters and anglers. Downtown Miami and the airports are a drive across the causeways, which winter residents tend to plan around the traffic. Many tenants find a week in Bal Harbour can pass without the car.
