The entrance sets the tone early. A brick-paved courtyard with a vertical garden wall and bamboo planters leads to the front door of Villa Capri, one of the more quietly distinctive properties in The Luxury Rental‘s portfolio. The home sits within Normandy Shores, a guard-gated community in Miami Beach, with canal frontage, a private dock, and an outdoor setup built around the waterfront location. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, sleeps eight.

What separates Villa Capri from most four-bedroom rentals is the layout. The main house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged around polished terrazzo floors, warm neutral tones, and living spaces that open directly to the canal through wide sliding glass doors. The fourth bedroom is a detached guest suite with its own private entrance and full bathroom, completely separate from the main house. Groups with different travel parties or guests who want independence tend to appreciate that configuration.

Inside the main house, the living room is relaxed and well furnished. A charcoal gray sofa, leather armchairs, and a jute rug anchor the seating area, with the canal visible straight ahead through the glass. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooking, and a wine cooler is available for guests who travel with a collection. The bedrooms vary in feel: the primary suite has a dark accent wall with warm brass lighting; others are lighter and more neutral. All four bathrooms are updated with glass-enclosed showers and modern floating vanities.

Outside, the heated pool and jacuzzi sit on the deck with lounge chairs facing the canal. The outdoor kitchen and BBQ grill are positioned for easy entertaining beside the water. The private dock with boat lift is at the back of the property. Residents of Normandy Shores have access to on-site tennis courts and a golf course within the community, which is an unusual amenity for a short-term rental.

Villa Capri sits in Normandy Shores, a short drive from Lincoln Road, South Beach, and the Miami Beach dining scene. The neighborhood is quiet and residential with easy access to both the island and the mainland. Central air conditioning, high-speed WiFi, and an in-unit washer and dryer are included. Check-in is after 3 PM, checkout by 11 AM.

Groups of eight looking for a Miami Beach luxury villa rental inside a gated community, with canal views, a heated pool, a private dock, and the flexibility of a separate guest suite tend to find what they are after at Villa Capri. Contact The Luxury Rental to check availability or learn more.
