OCEAN HOUSE RENTAL GUIDE
Is Ocean House Right for You?
Ocean House sits on the sand at 125 Ocean Drive in South of Fifth. Renters look here for one of about 28 homes in a low-rise complex rather than a tall tower or a hotel-residence. The buildings step from two and three stories up to seven, behind the preserved 1946 Walburne Hotel facade on Ocean Drive. The mix includes flats, lofts, two-story beach houses, penthouses, and cabanas. The same association also uses 135 Ocean Drive, where the project was first sold as South of Fifth.
If you want a newer sand-front building with large floor-through plans, compare 321 Ocean. If you prefer a hotel-residence with on-site dining, Hilton Bentley is a different product.
Good Fit If
- You want a low-rise home on the beach instead of a tower.
- You will match a loft, beach house, or penthouse to the actual unit.
- You understand 125 and 135 Ocean Drive are one condominium.
Compare Other Options If
- You want a newer building with large floor-through plans on the sand.
- You would consider a hotel-residence where nightly guests share the towers.
Why Rent at Ocean House?
Renters choose Ocean House when a varied low-rise beach complex fits better than a uniform tower or a hotel-residence address.
Beach Side of the Street
The odd-numbered lot reaches the sand, and some homes look at the water while others face the street. Ask which way the living space opens.
A Preserved Facade and New Wings
The 1946 Walburne front was kept and rebuilt behind, with wings rising from two and three stories to seven. Nothing here reads as a single uniform tower.
Five Kinds of Home
Flats, lofts, two-story beach houses, penthouses, and cabanas share the grounds. Stairs and outdoor space vary as much as square footage.
One Board for Two Street Numbers
The 28-home association covers both 125 and 135 Ocean Drive. Approvals run through that single board whichever number a listing uses.
Things to Consider Before Renting at Ocean House
Most confusion here comes from names rather than from the property.
Two Addresses, One Complex
A listing may say 125 or 135 Ocean Drive, and both belong to the same project. The application should carry the legal unit and the association name.
A Different Ocean House in Surfside
A later building on Collins Avenue in Surfside uses the same name. This lease is in Miami Beach, south of 5th Street.
The Home Type Sets the Day
A street-facing loft and a two-story beach house are different homes at one address. Inspect light, stairs, and outdoor space in the one you would sign for.
Public Leases Can Be Scarce
A building this small produces little rental turnover. Plan extra lead time if you are set on a specific home type.
Renting at Ocean House: What to Know
Renting at Ocean House usually means a landlord lease plus association approval for a numbered home in the complex at 125 and 135 Ocean Drive.
- Identify the home: Pin down which street number and which home type the residence is, since Ocean House and South of Fifth are one complex.
- Association package: Ask for the current tenant application, fees, insurance, occupants, guests, pets, parking, and storage provisions for this association only.
- Lease eligibility: Confirm the owner may lease and read the term, screening, deposit, and occupancy rules for that home.
- Grounds and cabanas: Ask what a tenant may use on the grounds and whether a cabana comes with the home.
- Move-in: Photograph interiors, keys, and outdoor areas at possession. A package from the Surfside building of the same name has no bearing here.
Association requirements can change. Verify the current application package before signing or applying.

321 Ocean
321 Ocean is a 2015 pair of buildings north of here at 321 Ocean Drive, holding 21 large floor-through residences plus villas. It is the newer answer to the same beach block.
Hilton Bentley
Hilton Bentley sits just south at 101 Ocean Drive, where hotel rooms and deeded homes occupy two towers. Go there only if hotel service is the reason for the move.
