Fisher Island Homes for Sale

Listings range from two-bedroom condos to waterfront estates, with prices spanning from approximately $2 million to well above $50 million. Active listings above are updated daily from the MLS.

What Makes Fisher Island Different

Fisher Island was originally the southern tip of Miami Beach, separated from South Beach when Government Cut was dredged in 1905 to create a shipping channel. William K. Vanderbilt II purchased the island in 1919 and built a winter estate that now anchors the Fisher Island Club. The entire island is private — there is no bridge, no public access, and no through traffic. The Fisher Island Ferry is the only way in or out for residents and approved guests.

• Private beach: Fisher Island holds one of the only genuinely private beaches in Miami-Dade County, accessible exclusively to residents and club members.
• Island amenities: The Fisher Island Club includes The Links at Fisher Island golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a full-service spa, a marina, multiple restaurants, and a beach club.
• Security: All visitors must appear on an approved guest list. There is no drive-through or walk-up public access under any circumstances.
• Golf cart community: Personal vehicles on the island are limited. Most residents use golf carts to travel between residences and amenities.

Fisher Island Residences

All Fisher Island FL homes for sale fall within the master-planned Fisher Island development. The main residential areas include:

• Palazzo del Mare — Mediterranean-style condos on the southern tip of the island with direct ocean views and beach club access.
• Vanderbilt Estates — larger estate residences near the original Vanderbilt mansion, offering some of the island’s most expansive floor plans and private outdoor space.
• Bayside Village — townhouse-style residences on the bay side of the island, typically two to three stories with private garages.
• Oceanside — oceanfront condos with direct beach frontage and panoramic views of the Atlantic and Government Cut.
• Fisher Island Club Hotel Villas — a small collection of estate-level residences adjacent to the historic Vanderbilt Beach Club building.

Buyer Considerations for Homes on Fisher Island

Purchasing a home on Fisher Island in Florida involves several factors beyond the purchase price that buyers should evaluate before committing:

• Club membership: Most residences require or strongly incentivize Fisher Island Club membership, which carries a significant initiation fee and ongoing annual dues. Confirm membership status and transferability for any listing before making an offer.
• HOA and condo fees: Monthly association fees on Fisher Island are among the highest in South Florida, covering 24-hour ferry service, island security, maintenance, and common-area amenities. Request the full fee schedule and a current budget from the listing agent.
• Ferry commute: Every trip on or off the island requires the ferry. For families with school-age children or buyers with daily mainland commutes, this adds meaningful time to every round trip.
• Insurance: Island properties in zip 33109 carry elevated wind and flood insurance premiums. Request current insurance costs from the seller before closing and confirm availability with a licensed Florida insurer.
• Special assessments: Request the last 24 months of association meeting minutes for any Fisher Island condo to identify pending capital projects or upcoming special assessments.
