About Star Island
Star Island is a man-made island in Biscayne Bay, connected to the mainland by a single point of entry — Bridge Road, off the MacArthur Causeway — with a guardhouse at the gate. It sits between the Venetian Islands and Palm Island, in the waters of the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, a few minutes by car from both South Beach's restaurants and nightlife and Downtown Miami's business district.
The island holds roughly three dozen waterfront estate lots, zoned for single-family homes rather than condominiums — most with private docks capable of handling substantial yachts. It's one of the only addresses in Miami-Dade where a buyer can get deepwater frontage, total privacy, and a five-minute drive to South Beach in the same property.
Families choosing Star Island have public-school options in South Pointe Elementary, Nautilus Middle, and Miami Beach High, alongside the private schools found throughout South Florida — a detail that matters for buyers relocating with children.
Why buyers choose Star Island
A single point of entry
One guarded causeway is the only way in or out — a structural form of privacy few Miami addresses can offer.
Deep water at the dock
Most lots carry frontage suited to substantial yachts, without ever leaving Biscayne Bay.
Distance to everything
Downtown Miami and South Beach are both a short drive away — rare for an address this private.
