The $1,050,000 Oceanfront Penthouse That’s Breaking the Internet in Vero Beach

Ben Bryk November 29, 2025

(Yes, you read that right – HALF the price of Miami or Palm Beach, but on the barrier island with the same jaw-dropping views)

I thought it was a glitch when the listing hit my desk.

A direct-oceanfront, fully renovated 3-bedroom corner unit on Vero Beach’s exclusive barrier island… listed at just $1,050,000?
That’s the kind of pricing you expect to see 200 miles south in Miami for a 1-bedroom with a parking-lot view. Or in Palm Beach for something that hasn’t been touched since the ’90s.

But this is 601 N. Swim Club Drive 3A – and it’s very, very real.

Why This One Feels Like a $3 Million Property
  • Corner unit with wraparound balconies on three sides – sunrise over the Atlantic from your master bedroom, sunset over the Intracoastal from your living room.
  • Completely gut-renovated top to bottom: wide-plank European oak floors, custom Italian cabinetry, quartz waterfall islands, Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, spa-like bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling marble.
  • Floor-to-ceiling impact glass everywhere – the ocean is literally the wallpaper.
  • Only four residences per floor – privacy you simply don’t get in most high-rise buildings.
  • Gated, beachfront building with pool, tennis, and private beach access.
The Math That Makes Buyers Do a Double-Take

Comparable renovated oceanfront 3-bedrooms right now: • Palm Beach: $2.4M – $3.8M • Miami Beach (South of Fifth): $2.7M – $4M+ • Vero Beach barrier island: …$1,050,000
 
Same turquoise water. Same white sand. Same private, low-key luxury vibe Vero is famous for. Half the price. Zero state income tax.
