Set along the open shoreline of Biscayne Bay, the pool at “My Paradise” in Coral Gables, Florida, delivers a refined interpretation of waterfront outdoor living. Located at 720 Lugo Ave. within the guard-gated Gables by the Sea community, the five-bedroom estate’s elevated pool deck is thoughtfully designed to maximize uninterrupted water views while creating a private, resort-inspired retreat.
Positioned above the shoreline, the heated pool serves as the centerpiece of the outdoor living experience. A gently ramped entry enhances accessibility while reinforcing the relaxed, resort-style design. Sleek glass railings preserve unobstructed sightlines across Biscayne Bay, allowing swimmers and guests to enjoy sweeping vistas stretching toward Coconut Grove, the Downtown Miami skyline, Key Biscayne, and the Atlantic Ocean.
A Waterfront Setting Designed for Outdoor Living
Surrounding lounge areas provide multiple vantage points for entertaining and relaxation, with seating positioned to capture both sunrise and sunset views over the open bay. The elevated deck creates a natural transition between the home’s interior living spaces and its waterfront setting, strengthening the seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines South Florida luxury living.
Beyond the pool, the surrounding grounds extend the outdoor experience into a full private retreat. A summer kitchen and shaded seating area anchored by a decorative fountain offer additional entertaining space, while coral stone pathways lead through mature tropical landscaping to a copper-roofed mahogany gazebo and a secluded sandy beach along the bayfront.
The pool’s proximity to the estate’s private dock further enhances the property’s connection to the water. The newly constructed 66-foot IPE wood dock—complete with a boat lift and boathouse—allows residents to transition effortlessly between poolside relaxation and open-water recreation.
Balancing architectural simplicity with scenic drama, the pool at “My Paradise” exemplifies how thoughtful design can elevate the waterfront living experience. By pairing clean-lined materials, expansive lounging areas, and uninterrupted bay views, the space captures the essence of relaxed coastal luxury while functioning as both a tranquil escape and an entertainer’s showpiece.
“My Paradise” is on the market for $22.5 million and is listed by Jill Eber and Judy Zeder of The Jills Zeder Group.
