4100 N Ocean Drive, Unit 1501Singer Island, FL 33404Rental Price: $8,000

Have you been scrolling Zillow like it was a second job, half-panicking, half-dreaming, looking for the perfect condo to rent? And wondering if the photos are accurate, if the view is as good as it looks, and if you'll feel at home when you get there. I understand how you feel, and I will say, if you end up renting this condo, your future self will thank you. The second you open the door, it's pure glass. Two full walls of floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the unit. You can see both the ocean and the Intracoastal, sunrise on one side, sunset on the other. And the unit is really big, over 2,000 square feet, so you won't be tripping over your partner or guests. There are 2 bedrooms, 3 full baths (one in the guest bedroom and 2 in the master bedroom), plus my favorite, there is a powder bathroom, where you will also find the washer/dryer (not that you have to do laundry, but it's there if you need it). The unit is furnished/turnkey, so it has everything you need and even things you didn't know you'll need (like binoculars, for checking out sealife, not your neighbors). You can literally walk in with your suitcase and start living. The building? A vibe. There's a manned gate, garage parking, and even an on-site restaurant, no Uber Eats required. The pool deck is having work done, but, 1 of the 2 pools is scheduled to reopen by the end of December. But really, who needs it when the ocean is downstairs right at your fingertips? And this part of Singer Island has beach service, so you don't even have to carry beach chairs and umbrellas, just your favorite book and a towel. There is a lot to do right here on Singer Island, brunch at Sailfish Marina, walks through MacArthur Park, Brightline rides to Miami, or just barefoot coffee strolls along the shoreline pretending you're a local, because you basically are. So yeah, if you're still scrolling and stressing, I get it. But future you? They'll be out on that balcony, wine in hand, texting everyone a photo of the view, saying, "Best. Decision. Ever."
