Famed wellness restaurateur couple listing a $16.9M Miami mansion
A classic waterfront Miami home is about to hit the market for $16.9 million.
The sellers are health and wellness restaurateurs Jennifer and Omer Horev, founders of the popular Pura Vida chain — where celebs such as David Beckham get their green juices.
Pura Vida means the pure or simple life, as is the famed motto of easy-going Costa Rica, and the couple grew the chain to 22 outposts — all while living in the home, notes listing broker Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman. “They built their business while living here. It’s definitely a good-luck house,” she quipped.
The couple paid $6.8 million for the residence, at 5401 Pine Tree Drive, in 2020. Current neighbors on the street include DJ Khaled, who paid $26 million for an estate that he bought from Michael Lerner, founder of the 1980s-era “Baby on Board” signs.
Built in 1925, the home was gut-renovated in 2020 by Menin Homes + Design, whose clients include Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, and Jared’s brother Josh Kushner.
Built as a traditional Spanish villa, the 5,950-square-foot home comes with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and features a courtyard entrance. Design details include arched doorways, oak floors and a marble-clad fireplace.
There’s also an open living room with custom built-ins, a media lounge, an entertainment bar and an Italian chef’s kitchen.
The property sits on a third of an acre and features a landscaped backyard with dining and lounging areas, an outdoor kitchen and a dock — with 75 feet on the water.

Miami Police lieutenant arrested on domestic violence charge
A Miami Police lieutenant has been arrested on a domestic violence charge after he allegedly spit at and slapped his wife.
Lt. Thomas L. Carroll, 47, was arrested Saturday on a battery – domestic violence charge, an arrest report said.
According to the report, Carroll and his wife were involved in an argument when Carroll allegedly spit at her around 10 times.
He also allegedly slapped her twice in the face, the report said.
The wife ran out of the house and called police. The report said she didn’t have visible injuries but added that two witnesses corroborated her allegations.
Thomas was booked into jail and later released. Attorney information wasn’t available.
In a statement, Assistant Chief of Police Armando Aguilar said Carroll was relieved of duty pending further investigation.
“The Miami Police Department is committed to serving victims of domestic violence and holding the perpetrators of such crimes accountable for their actions. When acts of domestic violence are perpetrated by law enforcement officers, they are especially disheartening, as they represent a breach of the sacred trust placed in us by the people we serve,” Aguilar said in a statement. “We wish to thank the victim and witnesses in this case for coming forward. We are committed to ensuring that a thorough investigation is conducted and that the victim receives all necessary support throughout this process.”
Aguilar said Carroll was at one point an assistant chief of police but has been a lieutenant in the field operations division since 2023.
