THE FONTANA RENTAL GUIDE
Is The Fontana Right for You?
The Fontana is a renovated low-rise condo at 1601 West Avenue, near Lincoln Road on the west side of South Beach. Renters look here for a small MiMo-era building with a courtyard pool — not for an oceanfront tower and not for loft stairs.
The bay corridor and Sunset Harbour are close; the beach is a walk or short ride east. Furniture and finishes still depend on the individual condo. If you want loft volume on West Avenue instead, compare Alliage Lofts. If you want a large West Avenue high-rise, compare Floridian.
Good Fit If
- You want a small renovated West Avenue building near Lincoln Road.
- You prefer a courtyard pool and low-rise living over a tall tower.
- You are fine walking or riding to the beach rather than living oceanfront.
Compare Other Options If
- You want West Avenue loft living, such as Alliage Lofts.
- You prefer a large West Avenue high-rise such as Floridian or Waverly.
- You need oceanfront, such as Georgian or Decoplage.
Why Rent at The Fontana?
Renters choose The Fontana when a renovated West Avenue low-rise near Lincoln Road fits better than a beach hotel corridor.
West Avenue Near Lincoln Road
Lincoln Road shops and restaurants are a short walk. West Avenue also puts Sunset Harbour and west-side grocery options within an easy range for many renters.
Renovated MiMo Character
The building dates to the early 1960s and was renovated later with a mid-century modern courtyard feel. Walk the exact unit — owner upgrades still vary.
Courtyard Pool Setting
A heated pool and outdoor lounge areas sit in the shared courtyard. That is a quieter amenity feel than a large oceanfront deck.
Boutique Scale
This is a small low-rise condo, not Floridian or Flamingo. Shared spaces stay intimate, and residences can be compact.
Things to Consider Before Renting at The Fontana
Size, water labeling, and inventory are the main trade-offs.
West Avenue Is Not the Beach
You are on the west side of the island. Beach days mean heading east. Do not treat a West Avenue address as oceanfront, even when the bay is nearby.
Homes Can Be Compact
Many residences are junior one-bedroom layouts. Measure furniture and storage needs carefully before you lease.
Condition Follows the Condo
Some units are fully updated; others are more original. An award-winning building renovation does not guarantee every interior matches.
Pets and Parking Need Confirmation
Pet rules and parking assignments vary. Confirm both in writing with the application.
Renting at The Fontana: What to Know
Renting at The Fontana usually means a landlord lease plus condo association approval for the numbered residence.
- Association package: Request the current Fontana tenant application, fees, insurance, pets, parking, and move instructions for this building only.
- Lease term: Confirm the minimum stay and owner rental rules that apply now.
- Move-in: Confirm keys, deposits, parking, and any move window limits in a low-rise building before arrival.
- Condition: Photograph finishes and appliances at possession.
Association requirements can change. Verify the current application package before signing or applying.
Compare The Fontana With Similar South Beach (SoBe) Buildings
If you are considering The Fontana, compare other west-side South Beach options so low-rise versus loft versus tower is clear.
Alliage Lofts
Alliage Lofts is a West Avenue loft condo with multi-level homes and a rooftop pool. Compare it when loft stairs and high ceilings matter more than a courtyard low-rise.
Sails

Floridian
Floridian is a large West Avenue high-rise. Compare it when full-service tower living matters more than Fontana’s boutique courtyard scale.
