Overview of Star Island
Star Island is nestled in Biscayne Bay, just off the MacArthur Causeway and part of Miami Beach. Positioned south of the Venetian Islands and east of Palm Island and Hibiscus Island, its location places residents just minutes from South Beach, Downtown Miami, and Miami’s most celebrated cultural, dining, and entertainment destinations.
Star Island’s proximity to both the vibrant urban energy of Miami and the tranquil beauty of tropical waters offers an unrivaled lifestyle combination: completely private and serene, yet exceptionally accessible to world-class amenities.
Location & Connectivity
The single bridge connection via MacArthur Causeway makes access to mainland Miami and Miami International Airport swift and convenient.
Most estates include private deep-water docks with direct access to Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean via Government Cut – ideal for yachts and marine lifestyles.
Exclusive Community & Security
Exclusive Community
Star Island is an ultra-low-density, gated enclave featuring 33 waterfront estates – one of the smallest and most exclusive residential communities in Miami. Due to this limited inventory, homes rarely enter the market and listings that do appear command intense global interest.
High-profile buyers entering the Star Island market seek secluded and secure living.
Security
- Guarded, gated entrance with 24/7 monitoring ensures regulated access control and provide a deterrent to unsolicited visitors, enhancing residents’ privacy and tranquility.
- Many estates feature comprehensive security systems with surveillance, perimeter protection, and remote monitoring.
