Provident resort offering short stays on Fisher Island

Fifteen privately owned units are now available for short stays at the new hotel and resort Provident Luxury Suites Fisher Island, bringing a bevy of newcomers to the island enclave, which is only accessible by ferry.

Clearwater, Fla.-based management company Provident Hotels & Resorts will offer one-, two- or three-bedroom units that range from $513 to $1,323 for the weekend starting Friday, June 14, the Miami Herald reported.

By December, 45 suites will be available for short-term stays. Guests must pre-register for the ferry after reserving a room, the Herald said.

Provident is not associated with the Fisher Island Club resort. In March, renovations were completed at the Racquet Club and the Links Golf Club, both facilities within the Fisher Island Club. They had their interiors stripped and built back out with stone and mill work. [Miami Herald] –Mark Maurer
