If you’ve been researching vacation condos or investment properties in the Florida Keys, chances are you’ve come across Ocean Pointe at Key Largo. Tucked away in Tavernier (just between Key Largo and Islamorada), this waterfront condo community is one of the few places in the Upper Keys where short term rentals are allowed. That alone makes it a standout for both investors and vacation homeowners. But before you book a stay or purchase a unit, here’s what you should know.
What is Ocean Pointe at Key Largo?
Ocean Pointe is a gated condo community located right on the Atlantic Ocean. It offers a mix of resort-style amenities, private condo living, and convenient access to boating, fishing, and local hotspots. The property includes several mid-rise buildings, each with individually owned units—many of which are used as vacation rentals.
Whether you’re searching for a personal vacation home, an income-generating short-term rental, or a place to retire in the future, Ocean Pointe offers flexibility for different types of buyers.
Why Ocean Pointe is Popular
1. Weekly Rentals Allowed
This is a big deal. In most areas of the Upper Keys, vacation rentals require a 28-night minimum stay. Ocean Pointe is one of the few communities where short-term rentals are permitted, making it highly desirable for investors.
2. Onsite Marina & Boat Access
Boaters love Ocean Pointe for its private marina, boat ramp, and direct access to the Atlantic. If you plan to bring your boat or want to attract renters who are into boating, this is a huge perk.
3. Resort-Style Amenities
- Pool & hot tub
- Private beach and sun deck
- Tennis courts
- Bar & grill
- Gated entry and security
4. Turnkey Rentals
Many condos are sold fully furnished and ready to rent. As a Realtor® and active vacation rental manager, I can help you assess income potential.
What to Know Before Buying
Pricing: Units range in price depending on building location, upgrades, and views. Ocean view units command higher prices and typically rent at higher nightly rates.
HOA Fees: Monthly condo fees cover building insurance, grounds maintenance, pool and amenity upkeep, security, and more. Be sure to factor this into your investment calculations.
Rental Rules: While weekly rentals are allowed, all rentals must be registered and follow Monroe County guidelines. I can walk you through the process and help ensure compliance.
Maintenance & Condition: Because many units serve as vacation rentals, condition can vary. It’s important to work with an agent familiar with Ocean Pointe to spot a solid investment.
Who Ocean Pointe is For
- Investors looking for a turnkey vacation rental with strong demand year-round
- Snowbirds who want to use the condo part-time and rent it out when they’re away
- Retirees or future full-time residents planning ahead for a laid-back lifestyle in the Keys
- Boaters who want marina access and a place to launch right from the community
