  Great location for everything: the beach across the street, right on Ocean drive, restaurants nearby, Lincoln road very near...shopping!! I was scare for the noise on ocean drive, but this condo revealed to be very quiet. The Carlyle is an Art deco building very beautiful and well maintened. The comfort of this condo is just great, even the beach chair are confortables and easy to carry. The unit is clean, the bed linens and towels are new and all the appliances are clean and work well. We will be back next year for sure!! Ronald

  My wife and I stayed at Debbie's condo for 3 nights and couldn't have been more pleased. The location is great being right on Ocean Dr. with Lummus Park and the beach right across the street. We had a car but never used it as everything we were looking for was within walking distance, especially some really good restaurants. We loved Grillfish. We liked the unit's size and contemporary furnishings and everything was as advertised. Debbie is great to work with and very helpful. All in all just a great place to stay in South Beach.

  I visit South Beach at least once a year and usually stay in hotels, however I wanted to try something new this time and decided to rent a condo, and I am so glad I did! The location is perfect - on Ocean Drive right across the street from the beach. The quality of the condo is superb and matches the online description and photos exactly. The place is ideal for 2 people and has everything you may possibly want: huge bathroom, full kitchen, separate living and bedroom area, and even washer & dryer. It felt like being home away from home. The building is secure and very quiet. There are multiple grocery stores located nearby, so you can stock up on food & drinks and store everything in the full size fridge that’s in the unit. The owner of the condo (Debbie) was very responsive to all of my emails and I didn't have any problems before, during, or after my stay. I am recommending this condo to all of my friends and family, because it is truly phenomenal. I definitely plan on staying at Debbie’s condo again whenever visiting South Beach.

  The description and photos of the unit matched exactly what was advertised. The unit was spacious, luminous and clean. It was great to have all the comfort of a home while on vacation, we could make our own meals and even return home with no dirty laundry! Wifi connection was fast too. All staff members at the reception desk and valet parking were helpful and friendly, the owner of the unit answered all our queries in a timely manner. A plus, the art piece by Matthew Lew, I loved it! It was a pleasure to walk along Ocean Drive & Lincoln Road, either by day or by night, and we had the beach just a block away. All in all, a most pleasurable experience. I'd definitely recommend this unit to friends and family ;)

  Recommended for: Girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners.

  Wonderful condo, ideal for two people. Just across the road from the beach and yet central for all amenities in South Beach. The condo itself was equipped for all our needs allowing us the choice of eating in or going out. It was also very quiet and there was no disturbance to our sleep caused by the South Beach nightlife. There is also a security lock on the entrance and 24h security/reception inside just giving that extra peace of mind. We did hire a car for the full length of our stay and used the municipal car park across the road without difficulty, although this was October. Late evening at the weekend seems to be busiest period. The Carlyle is such a well known Art Deco building it was fantastic to be able to stay there. The staff on reception are very friendly and do their utmost to ensure you have a good stay. Our dealings with the Owner, Debbie, both during the booking process and after was very good and prompt responses received to emails and questions about the area. If there are two of you and you want to spend time around Ocean Drive, South Beach, Miami look no further and contact Debbie, you will not be disappointed. This was our first trip to Miami from the UK and we had a fantastic holiday helped greatly by a wonderful condo.

  My wife and I returned recently from our stay in the "Perfect Spot" on South Beach. We have been to Miami in the past with our children and did not feel like we truly experienced South Beach. The location at the Carlyle was in the middle of it all. The apartment was just as the pictures and reviews portrayed. It was modern and very clean. All the conveniences of home. We enjoyed late breakfast or early lunch at the cafe in the Carlyle every day after our walk on the boardwalk. Try a cafe con leche or cappuccino at Davids around the corner. We would definitely return and have recommended to friends and family already.

  We stay at Debbie's condo for 1 week and we loved it! We were with 2 young children and everything was close.Even if it's located in the middle of south beach, it's quiet at night in the unit! Right in front of the park and the beach. The kitcheen it's perfect for a family and all the shops are close by. We will come back for sure.

  This condo was absolutely fantastic. It housed three adults very comfortably. The unit looks exactly as it is represented in the photos. It was very spacious and very, very clean. The fixtures and furnishings were new and in excellent condition. The location was was perfect- right on Ocean with lots of restaurants and shops as well as directly across the street from the beach. The building was very secure. There is a public parking garage ideally located right on 13th ave- you literally walk just around the corner. Here you are at the centre of it all but when you are ready to call it a night the condo is quiet and comfortable so that you are able to get a good night's sleep. We will definitely stay here again and would recommend this unit and building to family and friends. Debbie, the owner, was great to deal with and truly saw to it that we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

  My husband and I stayed in Debbie's condo from June 10th-June 14th and we loved it! The condo looked exactly the way it did in the online pictures and it was very clean as well. The building was very secure and in an excellent location on Ocean Drive-right in the middle of everything! The condo also has beach chairs (as mentioned in the owners description) to use and the beach was just a short walk right across the street from The Carlyle. This was much better than staying in a hotel because all the ameneties of home (full kitchen, TV, washer & dryer) are available while you're on vacation...I highly recommend staying here!

  Not only is the condo clean, absolutely beautiful, and exactly as pictured but it is right in the middle of everything. Lummus park is directly across the street. There is a restaurant on the ground floor of the condo building as well as a ton of others nearby. Most importantly it was less expensive to rent a week here than it was in any of the nearby hotels.

  We stayed in this wonderful condo from April 19th thru May 3rd. The unit is clean and well equipped. Top of the line stainless steel appliances, spa bathroom with water closet, and washer/dryer. The condo is tastefully decorated with modern furniture, king size bed, two regular sofas and a sleeper sofa. Large LCD TV, DVD, and Free WiFi. Plenty of closet space. The owner also provides beach chairs and beach towels. Questions were answered promptly via email. Concierge service was outstanding. (Damian was superb in his assistance with table reservations at The Wall.) Had a choice of using the valet service or public parking located around the corner. Location is perfect. Beach is across the street. Best of all, the owner allowed my little dog to vacation with us. Perfect condo for a perfect stay in South Beach!!!!

  The stay at Debbie’s condo was absolutely amazing! Starting with the location being across the street from the beach, the condo it self was great. Honestly, the Pictures do not justify how elegant the condo is inside! Debbie did a great job in the communication area, making herself a phone call away if any problems occur. Hands down I will return to this location, putting this condo at the top of my list when choosing a location to reside during my vacation to south beach. The concierge and staff at the hotel were wonderful as well!

  Outstanding! My girlfriend and I traveled down to celebrate her 50th Birthday, and boy did I score points with her for picking Debbie's Condo. The location is perfectly situated in the heart of South Beach, but once entering the condo you would think you had driven miles away into solitude ... but instead you remain mere steps from heading back into the action. The beach is literally 100 yards away thru lovely Lumuus Park with walking path, and post beach sand cleansing showers. The Condo set up provides beach chairs, towels and umbrella; a perfect blend of sand, sun and nightlife. All within very easy walking distance. A couple of brief afternoon rain showers sent us scurrying back quickly into the condo; only to drop our clothes and towels into the in-condo clothes dryer ... a cool and relaxing cocktail ... and back to the beach once the sun re-emerged. Shops and restaurants galore, all near by ... from elegant to simple. Your choice. I cannot begin to capture how pleased we were. Rarely does the billing live up to the reality, but we found it at Debbie's Carlyle Condo. We quickly and seamlessly exchanged information during the transaction, and the secure key fob entry immediately made my girlfriend relax and able to enjoy her surroundings (she's a small town girl). The condo was neat, clean, complete; and the bathroom set up felt spa like. More than likely the largest private shower you will ever step foot in ... twin vanity sinks perfect to get ready to head out at night, with private commode and bidet ... soaking tub to boot! Three thumbs up.

  To sum up our time at your place is to say it won't be the last stay there. It was fabulous! Coming from three straight guys who just want time away from work and family, to relax on the beach, do some partying, enjoy the atmosphere and watch Miami play. All was accomplished. Nothing beats having a place on the strip. And having such a well kept room was a bonus. I cooked and did a wash cycle every day, which is impossible in a hotel. Having just remodeled our new home with Viking appliances, I would touting the SubZero fridge to my buddies. The futon was surprisingly comfortable, the clean linens and pillows fresh and plentiful. Nice water pressure in the shower. I can go on and on. A great time. My family and another friends family take yearly trips to FL (typically stay on the Gulf side) for the purpose to see Disney and such. We've always entertained the idea that once the kids are older (5 range from 2 - 8), we'd opt to stay once in Miami. You can be sure this will be the place we choose. In all, thanks so much for letting us use your place. We certainly look forward to other stays there. At minimum, the same group will be there next year for FSU/Miami. As for the game, the U won, which capped the vacation.
