Acqualina Residences

Acqualina Residences sits at 17875 Collins Ave, in Sunny Isles Beach. Measured in a straight line from its coordinates, it is 12.8 mi to Brickell City Centre, 13.1 mi to the Brickell Metromover station, 12.1 mi to Bayfront Park in Downtown, 11.1 mi to Lummus Park in Miami Beach and 14.4 mi to Miami International Airport. The closest of those reference points is Lummus Park in Miami Beach, 11.1 mi away. This is beach-side Miami, not the financial district: Brickell City Centre is 12.8 mi away, so a buyer who works in Brickell should plan on driving. These are straight-line distances, not driving routes: by road it is always further. Coordinates come from OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) and every distance is computed with the haversine formula against reference points geocoded the same way, so the figures can be checked by anyone.

Within 0.25 mi of Acqualina Residences — about a five-minute walk at a normal pace — OpenStreetMap lists 18 places: 11 restaurants · 3 cafés · 1 bar · 2 parks · 1 pharmacy. That is more than the average of the 3 buildings we track in Sunny Isles Beach (10 places). Across every building on this site, the one with most around it is Brickell Heights, with 48. The count covers restaurants, cafés, bars, supermarkets, pharmacies, gyms and parks, and it was read on 30 September 2026. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers: a café that nobody has mapped does not count, so treat the number as a floor, not a census.

What is not published here: HOA fees, amenities and the building rules in force. They change, and only building management can confirm them, so Carolina asks for them in writing before a viewing — ask her and she sends the current figures. Acqualina Residences is one of the 3 buildings in Sunny Isles Beach you can compare here, and one of 37 across every area.

No source we can quote says what Acqualina Residences allows. Its old page did not say, and it is not on the short-term rental list Carolina published, so no rule is published here: a rule without a source is a guess, and a buyer who plans on rental income cannot work from a guess. Confirm it with building management before you buy — the association decides whether short stays are allowed, how often a unit can be let and whether tenants must be registered first. See Acqualina Residences: short-term rentals for the buildings Carolina does name, each with its source. Of the 37 buildings with their own page on this site, 2 have a quotable rule and 35 do not; Carolina's own list names 28 buildings across Miami.
