  We have stayed on Ocean Ave many times, but our stay at the Carlisle was the best ever. We loved everything about the condo. It was perfect for us and the view was superb. Looking forward to going back next year. The owner texted us prior to our arrival to ask us to contact him if the condo wasn't perfect. It was.

  This condo is actually more stunning than the photos. Beautiful view of the ocean from the living room. Immaculately clean and comfortable. Super fast response to all questions from the owner and easy transaction. I made the mistake of renting a car for the week--totally unnecessary as this is a perfect location--short walk to Espanola Way, Lincoln Road, and of course, the beach and all of the great restaurants/clubs on or near Ocean Drive. The only negative is that this really raises the bar for future vacations and will unlikely be matched :) Thanks to David and Marcelo for making this available to visitors.

  Great place, the owners were fantastic to work with, the place is in the heart of the Art Deco district and could not be any better located. I had never been to South Beach and I was a little nervous about going, I have to admit. There were families everywhere and I actually felt more safe there walking at night then I had been walking around Charleston, SC. You don't need a car for sure, everything is right there, great restaurants and shopping abound.. Great trip. The place is just like the pictures. The street noise is noticeable at night but I sleep with a fan so no problems, NYC is about 100 times worse if you have ever been there. The place has a perfect kitchen and bath. It also has a great staff there at the place 24/7. They were great for local advice and anything else you might need. The bed was a queen, and was in pretty good shape, and there is a small washer and dryer there to use. If you do have a car, then overnight parking is around 20 bucks a night. All parking is valet. I would have flown in for sure if I do it again and would just get a taxi from the airport to the place. Food is a little expensive, so watch out for that...we don't drink alcohol and found out Coke's were about 5 dollars each, Howerver that being said, breakfast was a great deal, me and my wife both at for around 15$. As I said, overall a fantastic trip and a fantastic place to stay, don't hesitate with this one.

  Owner response: Marcelo and I are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. We welcome you back at any time. By the way, our concierge service also gives YOU a superb rating. I was told you were really, really great people. Thanks for choosing us. Happy New Year. David and Marcelo

  This was our first trip to Miami Beach, and this unit was referred to my wife and I by a friend. We were not disappointed. Not only is the unit located in the famous Carlyle Hotel (from the Birdcage), its also located right in the middle between Miami Beach and South Beach. In other words, you are perfectly located for the beach, the nightlife, Espanola Way, and Lincoln Road. The unit was sparkling clean, and has wonderful views of the ocean (which is nice to wake up to). The resturant downstairs (The Carlyle Cafe) serves delicious breakfasts, which I'd recommend as well. The noise level inside the room can be a bit loud at times, especially in the early morning (or when Miami Beach is still going strong). Nothing a little low background music from your iPod can't fix. The staff of the restaurant, as well as the hotel was great. Very cordial and accommodating. Dealing with the owner and the local manager (Marsha) was easy and smooth. Overall we loved our stay, and when we return we will certaintly look to stay here again.

  Spend 4 days in this wonderfull apartment. The apartment was exactly like the photos, beautifull and so very well located. Miami Beach and Ocean Drive is the place to be - and The Carlyle is such a nice and cosy place to stay - I wish the apartment was my own :-) I would recommend the apartment, The Carlyle and the location to anyone. Hope to come back soon.

  We had a great/relaxing/fun vacation here. This apartment is fabulous - as good or better than the pictures on the listing - very clean and spacious, and right in the middle of South Beach so there is no need for a car. Great views of the water and beach and ocean drive, but suprisingly quiet, so you can get some rest too. All that South Beach has to offer (the beach, restaurants, night life, wild/fun people, etc..) is within steps of this property. The owners and property manager were very helpful and could not have been nicer. Thanks for a great stay. We'll be back!
