    Is Sunny Isles Beach the Best Market for Lock-and-Leave Buyers in South Florida?

    By Haute Living Real Estate Editorial Team · Published May 25, 2026

    Sunny Isles Beach is the operational benchmark for South Florida lock-and-leave living because its buildings were designed and staffed around a non-resident owner base.

    St. Regis Sunny Isles, Bentley Residences, Porsche Design Tower, and Armani/Casa Residences have institutionalized unit monitoring, arrival coordination, and absentee-owner service protocols as core building operations rather than optional upgrades.

    For second-home buyers whose primary residence is out of state or out of country, the depth of that operational experience is difficult to replicate in submarkets with a majority full-time resident base.
