The Carlyle 3A Ocean Front Gorgeous 3 Bedroom - Ocean Drive - South Beach

We were right in the middle of the fun. We went as a family and still were able to enjoy it all. There were beach chairs in the closet and an umbrella so we didn’t have to pay down at the beach. Very clean and bright.

This place is in a beautiful but very young and extremely loud location. I realize that that's South Beach but this unit is over a restaurant that plays LOUD LOUD thumping club music til 3 in the morning. I wish I had researched this a little better. The whole unit vibrated until 3 in the morning and then the restaurant would start serving breakfast early in the morning and you could hear them busing tables and yelling at each other. The view and the unit was beautiful but very poor lighting in the bathrooms. I would recommend this to young singles but not to 50 something couples like us.

I would absolutely stay here again!! Perfect location. Clean and open space!

The condo was spacious and nice decorated and located in the middle of everything. The noise from Ocean Drive was not that bad, considering the location but we did hear some of course. There was some lack of maintainance, like knobs on closets have fallen of and not fastened. Drawers in wardrobe closet on the smallest bedrom could not be used since the doors coould not be quite opened. Bad lightening in the smallest bathroom. But we enjoyed our stay and will recommend it to experience to live in this legendary house.

The Carlyle was very nice, clean and spacious, but this unit is above the night club below. Every night from 10pm - 3am the loud music/bass made it impossible to sleep. Another issue was the stove top - it continual would over heat and shut down when cooking. We reported it to both Paul (VRBO manager) and Carlyle property management. Other than a "thank you" for reporting it, no action was taken during our stay. My last concern was had were there for 4 nights and provided 3 dishwasher pods, 1 roll of TP in each bathroom, and no tissue paper. Again, I inquired with the Carlyle management staff about getting addition TP and dishwasher pods and was told that since this was privately owned, we had to talk to housekeeping - this also was received with a "not my responsibility" response. Sent email to VRBO manager expressing our concern, but received the 'Thank you" response without any resolution during our stay. Bottom line, at $600 a night, I was extremely disappointed that basic items like this was not provided. Not a way to run a VRBO business !! On a positive note the weather was great and enjoyed 4 days on the beach :)
