What if you could own a brand-new waterfront condo in one of South Florida's best-kept small beach towns, with a full-service marina steps from your door and views facing Peanut Island?
That's exactly what HAVN Residences and Yacht Club is offering in Palm Beach Shores — and most people haven't caught on yet.
I'm Joe Vairo with the Vairo Group, and I cover the South Florida waterfront market from Fort Lauderdale all the way up the Treasure Coast. HAVN is one of the most compelling under-the-radar projects I've come across in this market cycle. Here's everything you need to know.
What Is HAVN Residences and Yacht Club?
HAVN Residences and Yacht Club is a boutique waterfront condominium development located in Palm Beach Shores, Florida — directly facing Peanut Island. The project consists of five three-story buildings with a total of just 36 residences, making it one of the more intimate ownership communities in the entire Palm Beach County waterfront market.
The scale is deliberate. This is not a tower with hundreds of units and shared amenities stretched thin across a massive resident pool. Thirty-six units means genuine exclusivity, stronger community, and meaningful owner-to-amenity ratios — particularly when it comes to the marina.
The Marina: The Real Story at HAVN
The star of the show at HAVN is the marina, and it's worth spending real time here because the specs are exceptional.
The full-service marina at HAVN features 52 slips capable of accommodating vessels ranging from 30 feet all the way up to 150 feet. That upper range — 150 feet — is significant. A large percentage of South Florida marinas simply cannot handle vessels of that size. HAVN can.
The marina offers:
- Fuel, electric, and water hookups
- Pump-out services
- High-speed internet at the dock
- A fully stocked marina store
Boat slips are available to owners on a priority basis. For a serious boater, this is the package you're looking for: a boutique residential community where your boat is not an afterthought but a centerpiece of the lifestyle.
The location amplifies everything. From the marina you have direct, easy access to the ocean through the Lake Worth Inlet. The Bahamas run, the offshore fishing grounds, the intracoastal — it's all right there.
HAVN Residences: Unit Details and Views
Residences at HAVN range from two-bedroom units to two-bedroom-plus-den layouts, up to three-bedroom floor plans, spanning approximately 1,800 to just under 2,700 square feet. These are generously sized homes by South Florida condo standards — particularly at this price point in Palm Beach Shores, which still trades at a discount relative to Palm Beach Island just across the water.
The views are, put simply, exceptional. Depending on your unit orientation, you are looking at the marina, Peanut Island, and Phil Foster Park — three of the most visually compelling waterscapes in the entire Palm Beach area. This is not a view you manufacture with marketing language. It is genuinely what you see when you stand on the terrace.
Why Palm Beach Shores Deserves More Attention
Palm Beach Shores is one of those markets that people who know South Florida deeply tend to love, while buyers from outside the region often overlook it in favor of better-known names.
Here is the honest case for Palm Beach Shores:
You have direct access to Peanut Island and Phil Foster Park — both exceptional outdoor and water recreation resources. The beach is right there. The Lake Worth Inlet gives you quick ocean access without the boat traffic congestion you deal with further south. The community is quiet, tight-knit, and carries a genuinely exclusive feel that is increasingly hard to find in a region that has been discovered and repriced by institutional money and high-net-worth migration.
And critically — you are not far from anything. West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Island are minutes away. The financial district build-out happening in downtown West Palm, the restaurants, the culture — it's all accessible without requiring you to live in the middle of it. Palm Beach Shores gives you the retreat without the isolation.
Compared to Miami or Fort Lauderdale, the difference in pace and character is significant. This is quieter, more exclusive, and more livable for buyers who are done with urban intensity.
Who Is HAVN Right For?
HAVN is a specific product for a specific buyer. If you are a serious boater who wants a Florida home where your vessel is genuinely integrated into your lifestyle — not parked at a marina 20 minutes away — HAVN solves that problem at a boutique scale.
If you are a relocator from the Northeast looking for waterfront access, resort-quality views, and a community that has not been overrun, Palm Beach Shores in general and HAVN specifically represent one of the better values in the Palm Beach County market right now.
And if you are a buyer who understands that 36 units with 52 marina slips at this location will not stay under the radar indefinitely — this is the type of project where early positioning matters.
