There’s nothing like Miami in the summer—sun-soaked skies, ocean breeze, and nonstop vibes. For residents at Alea Apartments, the perfect summer starts with dialing in your space so it stays light, fresh, and always ready for the next adventure.

Let That Ocean Energy In

Sheer curtains are your best friend. They let in the glow but block out the heat, keeping things chill without losing that natural light. Open windows early in the morning or late at night to let that coastal air roll through your space.

Trade Heavy for Easy

Swap thick throws and winter textures for lightweight bedding and linens. Neutrals, cotton, and breezy fabrics will keep your bedroom and living room feeling cool without breaking the vibe. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.

Set the Mood with Less Tech

Unplug what you’re not using. Game consoles, kitchen gadgets, and chargers can heat things up fast. Plus, going low-tech gives you more time to focus on the things you actually love—like relaxing on your private balcony or exploring the city.

Hydration Station

Stock your fridge with essentials: lemon water, sparkling coconut, crisp veggies, and frozen fruit. Alea’s stainless steel appliances and sleek countertops make prepping snacks feel effortless, and honestly, kinda fun.

Light Touch Decor

Add a few tropical plants to the mix—snake plants, monsteras, or something low-key like a ZZ plant. They bring the calm without requiring too much upkeep. A few glass or ceramic accents help keep the space feeling airy, too.

Turn Down for Cool

At night, keep the lights dim and the windows cracked. It’s the easiest way to invite that Miami breeze in and wind down after a day in the sun. Whether you’re catching up on a show or just chilling with a good playlist, it’s all about the reset.

Your Cool, Calm Summer Starts Here

Living at Alea means you’ve already got the modern design and laid-back energy—keeping it cool through summer just takes a few simple shifts. Miami’s got the heat, but your home doesn’t have to.
