This lovely apartment has a beautiful view of the ocean and direct access to the beach as well as a pleasant walking path near the ocean. The unit is spacious and very comfortable with two big screen TV's, dependable Wi-Fi and a well-equipped kitchen. The balcony is furnished with a comfortable love seat and table: perfect for morning coffee or watching the sunset! There is even a washing machine in the kitchen and a dryer is just across the hall, and there is also a convenient drying rack located on the balcony. Beach chairs and umbrellas were provided for our use on the beach and came in very handy.
This is the second time we stayed at this apartment--we liked it so much.
We experienced perfect weather for the entire stay with only one day of rain.
Surfside is a lovely and safe community - there are several nice restaurants within walking distance as well as a Publix grocery store, a large CVS pharmacy and convenient free bus service that goes to the Adventura Mall and other locations. We did not have a car during our stay, nor did we need one. Everything was so convenient but when we wanted to explore more distant locations, we simply used a car service.
Claire is a perfect hostess and checked with us to be sure we were very comfortable - she was genuinely concerned with our satisfaction and communicated with us as though she was down the hall. The staff at The Carlisle was friendly and always willing to help us with any request.
The only negative comment I must include is that there is on-going construction two buildings away and at times, the construction noises were distracting, but other than that, it was a wonderful get-away.
