— Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Ritz-Carlton Residences

Are Pets Allowed in Ritz-Carlton Residences?

The Ritz-Carlton brand understands that your pets are part of your family, and so, yes, pets are allowed in most residences. In fact, at most Ritz-Carlton Residences, you’ll find that pets are even embraced with an array of services and amenities for your beloved fuzzy companion.

Additionally, if you have an emotional support animal (ESA), remember that you are allowed to have your service animal with you even in a no-pet building. To learn more, read our blog on the ESA law and how it applies to your current or future living situation.

How Much Does a Ritz-Carlton Residence Cost?

The Ritz-Carlton brand is known all over the world for its exemplary luxury and service. And the expectations are no different when it comes to Ritz-Carlton Residences. While each property may have a different developer and architect, the commitment to the finest materials, amenities, and service will be part of what you are buying. Because of this, you can expect to pay a premium for the exclusivity, security, and opulence, as well as the unparalleled locations.

In South Florida, particularly in the Ritz-Carlton Residences near the beaches, you get the added luxury of living waterfront, which normally increases the price. That said, prices can vary depending on the city, property size, and market conditions.

Can You Rent Your Ritz-Carlton Residence?

Generally, people buy at The Ritz-Carlton Residences to get the exclusivity of the luxury brand without the transient nature of hotel guests. Therefore, it makes sense for the Ritz-Carlton Residences and its owners to want to limit the number of renters walking in and out. Consequently, they discourage short-term rentals.

However, there are Ritz-Carlton Residences that are condo-hotels, and then there are residential-only Ritz-Carlton buildings, depending on the location. Those condo residences that are part of a condominium-hotel combination are more likely to allow short-term rentals, however, they’ll usually have a minimum cap of 30 days. This is ideal if you are looking to rent your unit at Ritz-Carlton Residences for a seasonal rental, perhaps three months or longer.

How to Buy a Ritz-Carlton Residence?

If you are looking to buy a property at a Ritz-Carlton Residences, you would proceed in the same way that you would buy a regular condo. Working with a licensed real estate agent specializing in luxury properties and branded properties is recommended. At Blackbook Properties we have over 20 years of experience in this field, matching prospective buyers with their ideal condos and prospective sellers with the right buyer.
