Imagine a luxury oceanfront 4,000-sf, four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom townhouse with its own private roof-top jacuzzi/pool, summer kitchen BBQ area, internal glass-enclosed elevator, two-car garage, able to accommodate up to nine people!
Now imagine that you could rent all this for just $1,500+tax/day, minimum 10 days!
With four townhouses to choose from, a nice-size family on up to almost 40 people can be accommodated! Perfect for family get-togethers and special occasions. This is oceanfront property, located across the street from the world-famous Shul of Bal Harbour and just steps from the ocean and the Shops of Bal Harbour.
The reason this is so unique is that Bal Harbour/Surfside oceanfront property is exclusively dominated by condominiums, and condominiums that have strict rules prohibiting daily rentals.
Because this is a townhouse and the association is pretty much controlled by one owner who recently bought all four townhouses (out of seven), they have decided, for a limited time, to allow Airbnb.
Each townhouse comes completely finished & furnished. I even convinced the owner to provide two sets of brand-new dishes & flatware that will be used exclusively for my kosher clientele.
One of the nice perks of being in Surfside is that only two blocks away you have the Surfside Community Center with a $5 million water park, free to Surfside residents and guests! Surfside has become the “place to see and be seen” for Jewish world travelers looking for “fun in the sun” and a place to relax and unwind.
Within a two-block radius of your luxury oceanfront townhouse you have five shuls, 13 of the best kosher restaurants, the newly acquired Grove Market grocery store and a kosher bakery.
And get this—with reservations, three of these restaurants (Backyard BBQ, Kosh and The Meat Bar) offer Friday-night Shabbos meals. Just know, when making reservations, one can special order off the menu! For the past month I have been eating at the Backyard BBQ. I convinced the owner/manager, Mendel Segal, to prepare a special, not found on the menu: two-inch-thick rib-eye steak prepared a special way using the gourmet cooking technique called “sous vide.” The steak is first seared on both sides and then cooked to perfection! If you mention my name, he will know exactly what you want.
Breaking News! I’ve just been informed that under the guidance of Segal and his partner, Ofy Shifman, owner/operator of Kosherica Kosher Tours, they have taken over The Mesa Restaurant.
“We plan to move our Backyard BBQ menu to Mesa in order to service our clients’ demand and need for a larger, more upscale venue. We plan to maintain and continue the Backyard BBQ location with a more reasonable fast-food menu,” said Mendel.
The kosher Airbnb townhouses fulfill a specific need. I am constanly getting calls from my high-end, luxury kosher clients looking for this kind of short-term rental property.
This is my way of building relationships for future buyers & sellers.
Presently, in Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Islands/Surfside, condominiums range in price from $250,000 to $30 million, and houses from $500,000 to $38 million.
But wait, there’s more!
Coming soon to Surfside is the Glatt Kosher Eden Resort! This is to be the first and exclusive glatt kosher hotel in over 40 years! It will have separate men’s and women’s swimming pools and exercise rooms.
