The faint echoes of Frank Sinatra’s sultry voice may still be heard cascading down Fountain Street as the gentle Biscayne Bay breeze rustles through the palm trees on exclusive Hibiscus Island near Miami Beach. As the playground of entertainers and celebrities in the past, Hibiscus Island and its neighboring islands dot Biscayne Bay like jeweled stepping stones where the famous Latin Quarter nightclub once hosted “The Greats” in song and dance. Home to the fabulously wealthy who built winter mansions, one more impressive than the next, Hibiscus Island is today’s ultimate destination for exclusive single-family living at one of the Western Hemisphere’s enduringly fashionable locations.
Hibiscus Island is reached from MacArthur Causeway on the way to and from South Beach. After crossing neighboring Palm Island, a short bridge extends over to Hibiscus Island, the outermost of the twin islands, situated like two graceful yachts in the aquamarine waters of Biscayne Bay. Hibiscus Island is simple while elegant. Expansive, impressive homes face the open waters on the island’s racetrack-shaped perimeter while the inner portion is divided into generously proportioned lots with just two or three homes on each street. Residents enjoy a private, secure island in paradise yet are only moments away from vibrant South Beach with its unique nightlife, great shopping and famous eating establishments. Hibiscus Island is ideally suited as home base for downtown Miami financial captains or anyone requiring fast access to the arts, entertainment and attractions of Miami and quick trips to Miami International Airport or beyond. Put yourself where “The Greats” of the past once thrived on distinctive Hibiscus Island.
