4629 Poinciana St

Poinciana by the Sea is a mid-rise condominium built in 1974 with five stories of boutique, low-density residential units primarily configured as two-bedroom, two-bath layouts. The architecture is characteristic of coastal South Florida developments from the 1970s: simple massing, walk-up garden landscaping, and balcony-fronted façades that emphasize outdoor living. Units typically feature split-bedroom plans, walk-in closets, dual en-suite baths, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, and interior conveniences such as elevators, storage rooms, and foyer entries. Sliding hurricane-impact doors and windows are commonly installed, and many residences include sizable private balconies with pool, garden or partial ocean views. Common areas are focused on leisure and socializing — a heated, resort-style pool with cabana, barbecue and picnic areas, shuffleboard and bocce courts, plus landscaped courtyards. Operational elements include on-site management, modest association dues, assigned and guest parking with some covered spaces, and elevator access to upper floors. The complex sits under a two-block walk to the beach in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, immediately adjacent to Sea Ranch Shopping Plaza (grocery, pharmacy, casual dining) and within easy walking distance of restaurants, nightlife, marinas, and town-center attractions. The overall character balances vacation-resort amenities with practical, everyday coastal living in a well-maintained, community-oriented setting.
