Carriage House

A Victorian-inspired five bedroom house in Buena Vista, a walk from the Design District, with a heated pool and a carriage in the garden.

High ceilings, bold murals and an open plan, which is an unusual combination in Miami and the reason this house photographs the way it does. The pool is private and heated. The backyard has lounge areas and the carriage the house is named for, which is there to be photographed and generally is. Twelve guests sleep across five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms.

What is here

• Five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, sleeping twelve

Sleeping arrangement

Bedroom one, a king with an ensuite. Bedrooms two and three, a queen each with ensuites. Bedroom four, bunks. Bedroom five, a queen.

Why this one

This is the one to take if the group cares where it is staying as much as where it is going. The Design District and Wynwood are on the doorstep, and the house has enough character that people spend the evening in it rather than heading out again.

Where you are

Buena Vista, a historic neighbourhood between the Wynwood Arts District and the Miami Design District: galleries, boutiques and restaurants within a short walk, on quiet tree-lined streets.

See it from every angle

The gallery opens on the front elevation by day and again at dusk, then the pool terrace, the grill and lounge, before going inside to the kitchen, living areas and bedrooms.
