SETTLE · RENTALS · EDITION #14 · NOVEMBER 2026
Bay-front calm with the beach minutes away — five condos along the Intracoastal corridor for executives and second-home households landing this season.
This edition is for executives and international households relocating to Miami who want to live on the water without the party-district noise — people searching for apartments for rent in North Miami Beach who need full-service towers, parking sorted and room to work. I reviewed the 401 rentals listed in the 33160 corridor between $4,000 and $12,000, screened the 88 annual ones, and kept the five below, from $4,900 to $10,000.
Every home below is active as of November 3, 2026, with price and availability verified.

$4,900 — St Tropez on the Bay III, Sunny Isles Beach
3 bd · 2 ba · 1,489 sq ft · $3.29/sq ft · St Tropez on the Bay III, Sunny Isles Beach
The value opener — a bay-front three-bedroom with two parking spaces at the lowest price in the corridor
- Beds / baths: 3 bd · 2 ba
- Living area: 1,489 sq ft · $3.29/sq ft
- Home: Condo in St Tropez on the Bay III (2010), Sunny Isles Beach — bay-front tower with its own plaza of shops and cafés
- Pets: Yes — $500 non-refundable pet fee, dogs OK, maximum 1 pet
- Parking: 2 garage spaces — 1 assigned + 1 valet
- Furnished: No — unfurnished
- Laundry: Washer and dryer in the unit (brand-new LG set, per the listing) · Dishwasher: Yes
- Lease: Annual, with renewal option
- Available: August 6, 2026 (date as printed in the listing — the home is available now)
- Days on market: 89
- Good to know: The bay side of Sunny Isles Beach trades the oceanfront premium for space: three bedrooms and two parking spaces under $5,000, with the beach a short drive or bike ride east across the causeway
- Listing courtesy of: Dalton Wade Inc
Why I picked it for your landing: Three bedrooms at $3.29 per square foot is the corridor’s space math, and two garage spaces — one of them valet — solve the second-car problem that most towers in this band leave open. For a household landing with a car each, this is the calmest start in the edition.
Ideal for: A couple or small family landing by car who wants three bedrooms and bay calm over an oceanfront premium.

$6,300 — The Harbour South, North Miami Beach
3 bd · 3 ba · 1,556 sq ft · $4.05/sq ft · The Harbour South, North Miami Beach
The fresh listing — a three-bedroom in a 2018 bay-front tower that hit the market today, for a January landing
- Beds / baths: 3 bd · 3 ba
- Living area: 1,556 sq ft · $4.05/sq ft
- Home: Condo in The Harbour South (2018), North Miami Beach — bay-front tower on the Intracoastal corridor
- Pets: Yes — $500 pet fee, dogs OK, maximum 1 pet up to 50 lbs
- Parking: 1 garage space — covered parking · Valet parking
- Furnished: No — unfurnished
- Laundry: A dryer is listed in the unit; I confirm the washer for you before you apply · Dishwasher: Yes
- Lease: Annual, renewable
- Available: January 1, 2027 — the home is tenant-occupied until then, so this one is for a planned January move, declared plainly
- Days on market: 1 — listed today
- Good to know: Move-in cost $19,500 (about three months, per the listing) · A second Harbour South home already sits in my Aventura edition at a lower rent — same tower family, different unit and floor plan, so we can compare both before you choose
- Listing courtesy of: EXP Realty LLC
Why I picked it for your landing: Listed today, in the newest tower in this edition, with a full bathroom per bedroom — a rare split for guests or two professionals sharing. The condition is timing, and I put it up front: it frees up on January 1, which suits a household that is planning its landing now and flying in after the holidays.
Ideal for: A household planning a January landing — or two professionals sharing — who wants the newest tower and a bathroom per bedroom.

$6,750 — Marina Palms Residences North, North Miami Beach
2 bd · 2 ba · 1,736 sq ft · $3.89/sq ft · Marina Palms Residences North, North Miami Beach
The marina home — a big two-bedroom wrapped in balcony, in the tower built around its own yacht marina
- Beds / baths: 2 bd · 2 ba
- Living area: 1,736 sq ft · $3.89/sq ft
- Home: Condo in Marina Palms Residences North, North Miami Beach — the tower built around a private yacht marina on Maule Lake

- Parking: 1 garage space — assigned parking
- Furnished: No — unfurnished
- Laundry: Laundry room in the unit (shown in the listing gallery) · Dishwasher: the listing does not specify it — I confirm it for you before you apply
- Lease: Annual, renewable
- Available: October 15, 2026 (date as printed in the listing — the home is available now)
- Days on market: 43
- Good to know: At 1,736 sq ft this is a big two-bedroom: the second room works as a real office or a guest room, and the balcony wraps the water side of the plan
Why I picked it for your landing: Marina Palms is the address in this corridor that lives facing the water without paying the oceanfront tariff, and this unit adds the two things I screen for first: square feet you can actually furnish, and a balcony you will use every evening. If your landing includes a boat — or the plan to get one — the marina is downstairs.
Ideal for: A couple landing for the year who wants marina life, a real second room and bay views without the oceanfront price.

$7,500 — Marina Palms Residences North — Furnished, North Miami Beach
2 bd · 2 full + 1 half ba · 1,828 sq ft · $4.10/sq ft · Marina Palms Residences North, North Miami Beach
The furnished landing — the same marina tower, one floor of furniture away from move-in day
- Beds / baths: 2 bd · 2 full + 1 half ba

- Available: October 15, 2026 (date as printed in the listing — the home is available now)
- Days on market: 71
- Good to know: Two garage spaces in a marina tower is a rare pair — and the half bath is the small luxury that makes hosting painless
- Listing courtesy of: EXP Realty LLC
Why I picked it for your landing: I placed the two Marina Palms homes back to back on purpose: same tower, same water, two different landings. This is the one you choose when the furniture question is already a burden — you arrive with suitcases, the second bedroom is made, and your only project is learning the neighborhood.
Ideal for: An executive or couple relocating on a work timeline who wants to land furnished, with two cars parked from day one.

$10,000 — Williams Island, Aventura
3 bd · 3 ba · 2,590 sq ft · $3.86/sq ft · Williams Island, Aventura
My top pick of the edition — a furnished three-bedroom on a private island, with the marina, the pools and Aventura outside the gate
- Beds / baths: 3 bd · 3 ba
- Living area: 2,590 sq ft · $3.86/sq ft

- Furnished: Yes — furnished
- Laundry: The listing does not specify the in-unit laundry or the dishwasher — I confirm both for you before you apply

- Days on market: 159
- Good to know: 2,590 sq ft is the largest plan in this edition by a wide margin — three full bedrooms and three full baths, inside the island’s club setting, minutes from Aventura Mall
- Listing courtesy of: Brokers, LLC
Why I picked it for your landing: Williams Island is a landing with a moat: you cross to a private island at night and wake up inside a resort that happens to be your address. At $3.86 per square foot for 2,590 furnished square feet, the top rent in this edition buys the most home in it — the pick for a household that wants its first Miami year to feel settled from week one.
Ideal for: A family or executive household making a statement landing — maximum space, furnished, inside a private island club.

Landing in North Miami Beach and the 33160 corridor
- The water and the beach (zone level): This corridor lives on the Intracoastal and Maule Lake — marinas, docks and bay sunsets — with the sand of Sunny Isles Beach and Haulover minutes east over the 163rd Street causeway, and Oleta River State Park for kayaking and biking next door. Daily life is car-based; this is a quiet, residential corridor, not a party district
- Schools (zone level): The corridor is served by Miami-Dade public schools in North Miami Beach and Aventura, with private options in Aventura and Bal Harbour — I confirm the exact assignment for your address before you sign, because in this zone the assignment changes by tower
- Commute: Aventura Mall ±10 min · Sunny Isles Beach ±5–10 min · Brightline Aventura station ±10 min · Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) ±25–30 min · Miami International Airport (MIA) ±30–35 min · Brickell and Downtown Miami ±25–35 min depending on traffic
