About St Kitts

St. Kitts is a 5-story mid-rise condominium building in Mid-Town Ocean City, located on the ocean block at 5 87th Street. Built in 2007, the building contains 9 units and has a limited overall scale, with elevator access and private parking provided as part of its core building setup.

Rentals are permitted, and the unit size can help offset the absence of broader amenities such as a pool, while the building’s ocean block placement keeps it close to dining and nearby attractions in Mid-Town Ocean City.

Grant’s Local Insight on St Kitts

St. Kitts holds a special place for me because I worked directly with the original developers and sold every residence here as new construction.

This is one of a very small group of buildings in Ocean City offering five-bedroom condominiums, and even fewer that are relatively newer construction. That alone sets St. Kitts apart. These are large, well-designed residences that fill a niche most buyers don’t realize exists until they see it.

St. Kitts shares its exact design with its sister building, Key Largo, which means the layouts are proven and intentional. These aren’t oversized just for the sake of size. They’re built to live comfortably, whether that’s for extended family use or simply having room to breathe.

Knowledge of the construction and intricacies around it are vital in these buildings. For example, does the residence have the original inward swinging French-doors on the balconies? They’re prone to leaking and many owners have already replaced them.

Buyers who gravitate toward St. Kitts usually know what they want. They’re not shopping for a starter beach condo. They’re looking for space, functionality, and a building that still feels residential rather than transient. When those needs line up, St. Kitts is hard to beat.

Rental and Investment Potential

St. Kitts permits short-term rentals and is generally positioned for moderate rental potential. Its 5-bedroom format can appeal to groups seeking larger accommodations, although rental demand and consistency can vary based on seasonality and individual unit characteristics.

The building’s ocean block location in Mid-Town Ocean City supports rental use through proximity to dining and attractions, while its limited amenity profile may affect rentability. The large unit size helps counterbalance the absence of broader amenities, and buyers considering rental use should review building policies, seasonal patterns, and unit-specific factors carefully.

HOA Fees and Ownership Details

Parking policies, pet rules, and rental guidelines should be reviewed during the contract process, as association policies may evolve over time.

St Kitts Real Estate Market Trends

St. Kitts tends to have a lower level of resale activity, reflecting its smaller scale, limited number of units, and lower overall name recognition. Buyer interest is typically shaped by its Mid-Town Ocean City ocean block location, mid-rise structure, and the appeal of large-format ownership for second-home use, guest accommodations, or multi-generational needs.

Within the building, pricing differences are most likely tied to factors such as individual unit condition, specific layout, and other unit-level characteristics buyers compare when inventory becomes available. Because floor plan variety is limited and the building has a focused amenity profile, buyers often evaluate opportunities at St. Kitts by balancing location, unit size, and overall maintenance needs rather than relying on broad building-wide distinctions.

St Kitts vs Nearby Condos

St. Kitts is almost always discussed alongside Key Largo, since they share essentially the same design, architecture and layout. They look like twins, because they are! St. George enters when buyers want oversized floorplans but on a smaller building scale. Charleston comes up for those who appreciate unusual layouts and boutique positioning. The common thread here is that all these buildings share the same developer (Wes Guckert). St. Kitts seems purpose-built for large family use. If someone needs five bedrooms, ocean views, and wants newer construction, this is usually where the conversation settles.
