Summary

Carriage House is a 400-unit oceanfront condominium on Mid-Beach's Collins Avenue, a 15-story 1967 tower with a heated pool, private marina, tennis courts and direct beach access, renovated over roughly five years through the early 2020s. Residents call it one of the better values on this stretch of oceanfront Miami Beach, but delayed or unreturned association-deposit refunds and inconsistent front-desk service are real tradeoffs to plan around.
