Luxury villa rental
on La Gorce Island
A residential ring of approximately eighty-five homes around the 1927 La Gorce Country Club. The Country Club is the anchor; the address follows.
La Gorce Island is a Country Club address before it is a residential one. The Country Club came first, founded in 1927 with an eighteen-hole Donald Ross golf course routed across the interior of the island. The residential ring of approximately eighty-five homes was developed in parallel around the perimeter of the course, named for John Oliver La Gorce, the former president of the National Geographic Society who took the office in 1954. The geography is unusual for Miami Beach: a single guarded causeway, a single ring road around the golf course, and a residence count that has not changed materially since the original build-out. Every La Gorce Island property faces either the golf course or the canal. A rental on the island is essentially a Country Club address; the membership infrastructure is the reason most renters pursue it.
The case for La Gorce Island
The defining feature of a La Gorce stay is the Country Club. The Donald Ross course was the architect's only Miami Beach commission and is one of the few intact Ross courses in South Florida. The Club's membership has historically been the social anchor for the island residents; a rental on La Gorce typically includes pre-arranged Club access for guests during the stay, coordinated through the LIMITLESS VILLAS concierge desk in advance. The residential character itself is calm and architecturally consistent, with Mediterranean Revival originals from the 1927-1932 build-out interspersed with newer rebuilds that follow the same visual register. The single causeway and single ring road give the island the privacy profile of a smaller gated community, though without the public-profile premium that Star Island and Indian Creek carry. For renters whose stay is structured around golf, club dining, and a quieter residential rhythm, La Gorce is the natural fit.

Privacy and access
Access to La Gorce Island runs through a single guarded entry at the causeway off Pine Tree Drive in northern Miami Beach. The gate is staffed and pre-clears arriving guests, vendors, and service providers through the LIMITLESS VILLAS concierge desk the day before. The island operates a single ring road around the Country Club, with no through traffic. Walk-on access is restricted. Club guest access during the rental window is coordinated separately through the LIMITLESS VILLAS desk and the Club membership office in advance of arrival. Yacht arrivals are accommodated at canal-facing properties on the eastern side of the ring road; vessel size is constrained by canal depth and bridge clearance at the access channel.
Concierge for La Gorce
The La Gorce concierge logistics carry an extra coordination step: Country Club guest access. The desk pre-arranges Club access through the Club membership office in parallel with the gatehouse clearance. Inside the property, the desk handles the standard service stack. A private chef can be on-property for in-villa dinners on nights the group prefers to stay in. Butler service is bookable for full-stay coverage. In-villa spa practitioners are pre-cleared at the gate. The desk also handles property transfer from MIA and photographer coordination including on-course shoots which require Club approval in advance.

La Gorce Island villa rental FAQs
Does a La Gorce rental include access to the Country Club?
Club guest access during the rental window is coordinated case by case. The LIMITLESS VILLAS concierge desk pre-arranges Club access through the Club membership office in advance of arrival. Access typically includes the golf course, the Club dining facilities, and the spa. Specific access tiers and tee time allocation are confirmed with the Club office for each booking.
How does La Gorce compare to Indian Creek?
Both are gated single-island residential rings around a country club at the center, with similar approximate residence counts. The differences are public profile and Country Club character. Indian Creek operates with extreme privacy discipline and an essentially zero rental pool. La Gorce has more rental activity and a more accessible Country Club culture rooted in the Donald Ross golf course as the social anchor.
Is the Donald Ross golf course actually still intact?
The course was renovated by Brian Silva in 2002 and again refreshed in recent years, but the original Donald Ross routing is preserved. Ross designed the course in 1927; it is one of the only Ross-routed courses in South Florida and the architect’s sole Miami Beach commission.
What size groups work for a La Gorce rental?
The La Gorce inventory in the LIMITLESS VILLAS network spans five to nine bedroom homes, accommodating groups of ten to eighteen guests. The architectural register is consistent across the ring with most properties carrying Mediterranean Revival or contemporary-traditional finishing.
