KEY ISLANDER RENTAL GUIDE
Is Key Islander Right for You?
Key Islander sits at 290 Sunrise Drive in the Village of Key Biscayne — a 1964 three-story building about a half block from the beach walk and still west of Ocean Drive. Renters look here when a low-rise Sunrise Drive address closer to the sand matters more than a Crandon-side courtyard or a staffed oceanfront tower.
One- and two-bedroom homes make up the mix. A pool, social room, elevator, and assigned parking are the usual shared pieces. Furniture, balcony outlook, laundry access, and parking remain condo-specific.
Good Fit If
- You want a three-story Sunrise Drive building closer to the beach walk.
- A one- or two-bedroom condo in a 1960s association is acceptable.
- You will compare similar nearby low-rises by the actual unit.
Compare Other Options If
- You need tennis, a clubhouse, or a rebuilt three-bedroom home.
- You want a staffed tower with sand at the property line.
Why Rent at Key Islander?
Renters choose Key Islander when the eastern Sunrise Drive position shortens the beach walk without placing the building on the ocean frontage.
Shorter Walk to Sand
290 Sunrise Drive is farther east than 100 or 200 Sunrise. Renters who walk to the beach daily notice that difference more than a change in building style.
Two-Bedroom Availability
The association includes one- and two-bedroom plans. Current advertised homes are often two-bedroom, but that mix can change and should not define the building.
Pool and Social Room
A pool deck and a community room are the shared indoor-outdoor spaces. Confirm tenant hours after any courtyard or hallway work.
Three-Story Elevator Building
Upper-floor homes use the elevator. Ground-level noise, parking location, and stair convenience still vary by line.
Things to Consider Before Renting at Key Islander
Key Islander should not be treated as oceanfront, and it should not be treated as clearly better than Cay Polynesia without seeing both condos.
Half Block Is Not Frontage
Listings correctly say the beach is nearby. The building still sits on Sunrise Drive, not on the Atlantic. View and wind depend on line and floor.
Plans Are Not Interchangeable
Two-bedroom homes here differ in interior area and bath count. Match the legal plan, not a page average or a neighboring line.
Pet and Lease Rules Vary
Some listings state pets are not allowed. Obtain the current package for this residence instead of copying another Key Islander lease or a nearby building.
Renting at Key Islander: What to Know
Renting at Key Islander usually means a landlord lease plus condo association approval for the numbered residence at 290 Sunrise Drive.
- Association package: Ask for the current Key Islander tenant application, fees, insurance, occupants, guests, pets, parking, laundry access, and move instructions for this building only.
- Unit match: Reconcile unit numbers that use floor-and-letter labels with association documents before applying.
- Recreation access: Verify tenant access to the pool and social room.
- Move-in: Keep an inventory of furniture, keys, remotes, and parking devices before possession.
Association requirements can change. Verify the current application package before signing or applying.
Compare Key Islander With Similar Key Biscayne Buildings
If you are considering Key Islander, compare the closest same-era peer, the mid-rise with tennis, and the Crandon-side courtyard.
Cay Polynesia
Cay Polynesia is a 1965 three-story building at 255 Sunrise Drive. Compare one-bedroom versus two-bedroom stock, parking, and pool setting rather than assuming a large gap.
Cape Florida Club
Cape Florida Club is a 1972 six-story building with tennis, a clubhouse, and recorded beach access. Compare recreation and mid-rise circulation against this three-story courtyard.
Sunrise Club
Sunrise Club is closer to Crandon shops and has smaller studio and one-bedroom homes. Compare grocery walk against Key Islander's shorter beach walk.
