The stay

A quiet place to live, not just to visit.

Village By The Bay is a gated community of low, red-roofed buildings on the water in Aventura. Two apartments here are furnished and equipped for a stay of a month or longer: one with one bedroom, one with two.

After a week, guests tell Oliver the same things. The area is quiet. The pool is never crowded. And they can work in the clubhouse, in a lounge that looks out on the pool.

We had a great one month stay at Oli and Rocio’s place! The condo is nicely decorated, clean and comfy. Every detail has been considered for guests to feel comfortable and at home during long-term stays. We especially appreciated the 2 full, renovated bathrooms, and the ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for preparing meals at home. And there are plenty of supplies available for washing and cleaning day to day. We also liked the community and its facilities, as well as the pleasant waterfront location. We hope to return soon!

Becky And PaulSouth Wales, New YorkApril 2026One Bedroom

We loved this place! Beautifully appointed condo with a fully equipped kitchen. It had everything we needed to cook at home. The King bed was SO comfortable and was prepared with quality linens. The view of the garden was beautiful and private from the patio… we spent a lot of time there. The pool was clean, warm and had a gorgeous view of the intercoastal waters. The hosts, Oli and Rocio were 5 star! Responsive to questions in a very timely manner. We will be happy to stay with them again!!

RaghdaDubai, United Arab EmiratesJune 2025Two Bedroom

I had an absolutely amazing stay at Oli’s and Rocio’s condo! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by how clean, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped everything was. Every detail seemed carefully considered—from kitchen essentials to extra towels and even little conveniences you don’t think of until you need them. It truly felt like a home away from home. What made the experience even more special was the host’s incredible hospitality. They were warm, welcoming, and always available if I had a question or needed a recommendation. Their genuine friendliness and attention to detail made the entire stay seamless and enjoyable. I can't recommend this place enough and would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat!

Unforgettable holiday in an impeccable apartment owned by an amazing host, Oli, in a picturesque gated community by the bay and ocean. We stayed here for 3 month and liked every bit of our stay here: 1. designed interior and well-equipped kitchen stole my heart as I love to cook and gaze upon beauty, 2. secluded super-green secure vast area in a gated residence with everything we needed: gym, swimming pools, bays, park areas, tennis court, parking and more. Very tranquil and private, what we value the most. 3. And finally, Oli was an amazing host and kind-hearted man. He was very responsive respectful and considerate in communication, always trying to help and make our stay memorable. I’m very grateful to him personally for such experience and happy that we chose this apartment. Definitely value for money. Everything one needs. There was even a study in the apartment for remote work. Ocean, Aventura mall, restaurants, grocery stores meters away, in a walkable distance.

FrancoisMontreal, CanadaNovember 2024Two Bedroom

Very much as described. Beautiful unit in very safe gated community. There is definitely a nice attention to details all around. The furniture and appliances are all on the higher end which is definitely something i look up for when staying in an airbnb long term. No issue at all during our 40days stay. Only thing we could have wish for would have been a bit more sunrays to get in as the unit tended to remain somewhat dark throughout the day. Oli was always super fast to answer whenever i reached out to him. Would definitely book again if the opportunity presents itself.

SheilaDana Point, CaliforniaJanuary 2025One Bedroom

Cozy and comfortable! Easy to feel at home. Very private unit. Enjoyed sitting at the pool to relax and enjoy the outstanding water view. The gym was well- equipped. Convenient to grocery stores, restaurants and walks. Very responsive owners.

How a stay happens

From inquiry to keys.

  1. i.InquireTell Oliver your dates, the length of your stay and who is coming. WhatsApp is fastest.
  2. ii.Your quoteA quote for your dates and season. Longer stays earn lower monthly rates.
  3. iii.ReserveThe lease and the deposit first: usually 50% of the total rent, or for stays longer than three months the first month's rent and a $1,000 security deposit. Oliver confirms the terms with your quote. Then a tenant application with the community office.
  4. iv.Move inA brief orientation at the community office, where you receive your security fob and parking barcode. Then you let yourself in.

The community's tenant application typically takes 7 to 14 business days, so plan to reserve at least two weeks ahead.
