About

Fisher Island sits just off the southern tip of Miami Beach and is reachable only by a private car ferry, helicopter, or boat — no bridge connects it to the mainland. Homes sit in low- and mid-rise condominium buildings and a few villas, and the grounds include a private marina, a golf course, and a stretch of beach reserved for residents and their guests, with the late-1920s winter estate of William K. Vanderbilt II, designed by Maurice Fatio, at its historic core.
