Turnberry Ocean Colony 2 Bedroom with Direct Ocean View – Picture Tour
This is a follow-up post to the picture tour of the common areas at Turnberry Ocean Colony.

It is located on the 9th floor, has a direct ocean view and overlooks the beach and swimming pool. The asking price was $1M, or $447 per square foot.

Turnberry Ocean Colony Common Areas – Picture Tour
I was able to visit Turnberry Ocean Colony a few weeks ago and was able to shoot a ton of pictures of the common areas and of a 2 bedroom condo with a direct ocean view that I showed to a client that day. This post includes pictures of just the common areas. I’ll follow it up within a few days with pictures of the 2 bedroom condo.
Turnberry Ocean Colony is a beachfront condo development located in Sunny Isles Beach. It is one of the nicest condo developments that I have ever visited in South Florida.
It’s no secret that 900 Biscayne Bay is my favorite building of all the condo developments in Miami that have been completed within the past three years. When I show properties to clients who wish to view 900 Biscayne Bay as well as other condo buildings, I tend to leave 900 Biscayne Bay last. Otherwise, everything else will look second-rate by comparison if I were to show it first. I guess it’s my “leave the best for last” mentality. 900 Biscayne Bay is in a league of its own. Building security is some of the best in Miami and the overall quality of the development and amenities is second to none. Additionally, valet parking is currently complimentary for a second vehicle as well as for resident guests. View a photo tour of 900 Biscayne Bay.
That being said, of all the floor plans at 900 Biscayne Bay, the 06 line is the one that excites me most. It’s a 3 bedroom + den/4 bath unit with 2,335 square feet of interior and 639 square feet of exterior. A few days ago, I showed unit 3006 at 900 Biscayne Bay to a client looking for a 3 bedroom rental. Below, you’ll find a photo tour of that condo as I walked throughout its spacious footprint. Notice the sizable foyer as you enter the condo from its private elevator, the top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, deep terraces and amazing views. (Asking price to rent this unit is $4,200 per month.)
Just wanted to share some great pictures that I shot earlier today of a 2,703 square foot penthouse at Marina Blue. All penthouse condos at Marina Blue have 20-foot ceilings.
