The Sherwin is the quiet achiever of this stretch of the Shores: a 20-story oceanfront tower from 1991 sitting right next to the Peninsula, with solid mid-tier pricing and one detail that changes the math for a lot of buyers — a reported two-week minimum rental period, unusually flexible for a non-hotel building of this vintage. If you want an oceanfront unit that can earn seasonal income without condo-hotel complications, this building belongs on your shortlist. Here's the full local picture.

The rental-minimum edge
Most residential towers on this beach hold you to 1–6 month minimums; the Sherwin's reported two-week floor means an owner can realistically capture race weeks, Bike Week, and peak snowbird season without the financing and insurance headaches of a condo-hotel. That's a genuine income edge — and exactly the kind of rule that changes, so confirm the current policy in the condo documents before you buy on a rental plan. I pull those documents with every Sherwin offer.
The 1991 question: milestone & reserves
Like its 1992 sibling the Peninsula next door, the Sherwin is now inside Florida's milestone inspection window, and its Structural Integrity Reserve Study and reserve funding are the documents that tell you whether the fee is honest and whether an assessment is looming. I request the milestone report, SIRS, reserve schedule, and assessment history with every offer and review them with you in plain English. Primer: Florida condo reserves & SIRS, explained.
What it costs to own at the Sherwin
No published fee number here on purpose — the figures online for this building are stale or outright wrong, and coastal budgets have repriced since 2022. Current fee, inclusions, and reserve funding come from the live MLS and association budget; call or text for today's numbers. Flood reality: FEMA's current maps put the building site itself in Zone X, with VE only on the dune and beach seaward (NFHL, July 2026) — so flood coverage on top of your HO-6 is typically optional and cheap.
