BUNGALOW EAST

10 Reasons This Boutique Condo Stands Out on Fort Lauderdale Beach

1. ONLY 34 RESIDENCES

  • True boutique luxury.
  • Far more private than a 200–300 unit tower.
  • Limited supply creates long-term scarcity.
  • More private beach residence than traditional condo.

2. HUGE TERRACES

  • Approximately 650–721 SF on the main residences.
  • Residence D: 721 SF terrace.
  • Residence A: 691 SF terrace.
  • Residence C: 662 SF terrace.
  • Outdoor space that’s actually large enough to entertain.

3. SUMMER KITCHENS

  • Outdoor kitchens integrated into the terraces.
  • Dine and entertain outside year-round.
  • A major differentiator for Northeast second-home buyers.

4. BIG 3 & 4 BEDROOM FLOOR PLANS

  • Approximately 2,105–2,829 interior SF.
  • Total indoor/outdoor environments approaching 3,500 SF.
  • Feels more like a home than a typical beach condo.
