From Brickell to Edgewater — Miami's Top Airbnb Approved New Developments
If you are investing in Miami real estate in 2026, the single most important question to ask before you buy is this — does this building actually allow short-term rentals? Most condos in Miami do not. And with Miami having some of the steepest short-term rental fines in the entire country, buying the wrong building is a costly mistake that is very hard to undo.
The good news is that a new generation of Miami developments is being purpose-built with investors in mind — fully furnished, Airbnb approved, and ready to generate returns from day one. Here are the best short-term rental approved new condos available right now at condoloving.com.

With 30-day minimum rentals permitted, a full Hammam spa, 45th-floor rooftop pool with panoramic Biscayne Bay views, yoga and Pilates studio, and a bowling alley, this is the lifestyle investment product Miami buyers have been waiting for.

Every residence arrives fully finished and furnished, inspired by ELLE DÉCOR's signature blend of mid-century modern and French chic. Owners can use the building's fully managed rental program or list on the platform of their choice — giving investors complete flexibility. A French Riviera-inspired pool deck, rooftop sky pool, spa with sauna and cold plunge, outdoor movie theater, and 24-hour concierge round out an amenity offering that guests will love.

Designed by Kobi Karp with interiors by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio, it is also Miami's first biosecure tower, partnering with Clear to bring advanced air, water, and surface purification to every residence. In a neighborhood growing as fast as Edgewater — steps from Wynwood, the Design District, and Biscayne Bay — Edge House delivers strong returns at a price point more accessible than Brickell.

Why Short-Term Rental Approved Buildings Are So Rare in Miami
Most condo associations in Miami prohibit short-term rentals entirely, or restrict rentals to six months or longer. Miami-Dade County's zoning rules add another layer of complexity — what's permitted in one neighborhood may be completely illegal in another. The buildings on this list have short-term rental rights written directly into their condo documents and zoning approvals, which means you are legally protected from the moment you close.
At claireearle.com, I read the condo docs so you don't have to — and I make sure every investment opportunity I present is above board, legally permitted, and positioned for the best possible returns.
