The Space:

Just beyond the Rickenbacker Causeway, where the Miami skyline gives way to open water and island air, Key Biscayne operates at its own pace - and this 3rd-floor studio at the beachfront Ritz-Carlton puts you right in the middle of it. The resort reopened in December 2025 after a complete renovation, and the fresh finishes throughout the apartment reflect that. Step onto your private balcony, take in the partial ocean view, and settle in for a stay that's as easy or as active as you want it to be.



The space

The studio is thoughtfully arranged to feel comfortable for up to four guests. Two large custom-sized beds are the centerpiece of the sleeping area, dressed in quality linens with room-darkening shades to help you sleep in. Extra pillows and blankets, hangers, a safe, and an iron are all on hand for a stay that covers the basics without you having to think about them.



Work & entertainment

A dedicated desk space gives you a proper place to plan your days or catch up on anything that can't wait. The flat-screen TV has streaming options ready to go, and high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout.



Kitchen & dining

The kitchenette is equipped for light meal prep - a refrigerator, microwave, cooking basics, and a full set of dishes and silverware. For morning coffee, you have your choice between a Nespresso machine and a Keurig. A toaster rounds out the setup.



Resort amenities

Access to the Ritz-Carlton's amenities is one of the real draws here. Guests have full use of the shared pool (available year-round), a shared hot tub, and the shared gym. Direct beach access is steps away. The property also includes free on-site parking - a genuine rarity in the Miami area - plus an EV charger, elevator access, and 24-hour building staff. Luggage drop-off is available for early arrivals or late departures, and self check-in keeps things flexible.



Families

A travel crib and pack 'n play are available for families with young children, along with babysitter recommendations through the resort.



Location

Key Biscayne sits between two major parks: Crandon Park to the north and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park to the south - the latter recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the best beaches in the nation. The island is also home to a nearby coastal barrier reef and the only federally recognized underwater archaeological trail in the United States. Miami's restaurants, nightlife, and cultural offerings are a short drive across the Rickenbacker Causeway.

The Neighborhood:

A trip to the Miami area isn't complete without a stop in Key Biscayne, just a short – and gorgeous – drive over the Rickenbacker Causeway from the big city.



From sunny beaches to the Ritz-Carlton resort, Key Biscayne offers all the allure of South Florida on a tiny sliver of land.



Key Biscayne has terrific beaches and the added appeal of being sandwiched between two major parks – Crandon Park to the north and Billl Baggs Cape Florida State Park, named by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the best beaches in the nation, to the south.



Key Biscayne also offers a nearby coastal barrier reef and the only federally recognized underwater archaeological trail in the United States.
