The Carlton is known for its solid construction, distinctive luxury and island elegance. It lives like a house that requires no maintenance so that you can enjoy a carefree Florida lifestyle.
“The Carlton is a dream come true – life by the sea with no worries,” says Dale Sorensen Real Estate sales associate Cathy Curley in describing 500 Beachview Dr. #2N, which she calls a rare lifestyle opportunity.
The condo has four bedrooms, four full baths and one half bath, living and dining rooms, a family room, multiple balconies and a luxurious primary suite. Curley notes, “The incredible space and elegance impress even the most discerning buyer.”
The unit has concrete floors and sound-insulated masonry walls between residences, ensuring a peaceful, private daily life. “At over 4,300 square feet, this is the largest condo available in Vero Beach,” says Curley.
Experience a serene retreat as you pass through the gates at the Carlton. The sight of the flourishing live oak tree, the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the soothing fountains at the building’s entrance create an immediate sense of calm.
As you enter the building, the elegantly appointed lobby sets the tone for the colonial West Indies architecture featured in the 15-acre luxury community. With only six units per building, it is comfortably quiet.
Stepping off the private elevator, which opens into the unit, the dramatic ocean views are intoxicating. The wall of glass across the formal living room gives way to a spacious veranda with a summer kitchen and a wraparound balcony, making the transition from the formal living room to glorious outdoor space seamless and perfect for entertaining.
The formal living room is spacious and open, centered around a gas fireplace – a lovely spot to take in the view on winter days when the wind is brisk.
Staged by Hazel House, the white palette of coastal décor complements the dramatic ocean views and awaits your personal touch with a preferred splash of color.
The owner’s suite is accessed through doors off the formal living room. The spacious bedroom has a walk-in closet and oceanside seating area that opens onto the veranda where you can relax and watch the sunrise. The luxurious bathroom has a jetted tub, shower, two water closets, dual sinks and a built-in vanity.
On the North side of the condo, a formal dining room sits between the living room and kitchen, ensuring entertaining can be done gracefully and effortlessly. A pass-through window from the kitchen provides easy access when you want it or can close the rooms off from one another with plantation shutters.
In the kitchen, a breakfast nook with ocean views tops off the efficient space with substantial countertops, a gas cooktop, a center island, a built-in desk and high-end appliances.
A second pass-through opens from the kitchen to the family room, ensuring ocean views from the condo’s main gathering spaces.
A laundry room, powder room, private staircase and guest suites, one of which the owners use as an office, complete the west side of the unit. Two suites have access to private balconies so guests can enjoy ocean breezes at their leisure.
“You can just enjoy the good life, relaxing with your coffee or wine on the oceanside terrace or listening to the waves in bed as you fall asleep. This is what Florida dreams are made of,” says Curley.
“Another great feature of this unit is direct beach access off the terrace,” Curley adds. “You are steps from a quiet, pristine beach. This level is also one of the most desired by pet owners, as they can easily walk out the door with their furry friends. The Carlton is not only pet friendly but also does not have a weight limit on dogs, a rare find in Vero.”
The Carlton offers residents an extensive list of amenities, including frequent social events and cocktail parties. The complex has a computer-generated ProxKey system with electronic keys, providing convenient access to the owner’s building, elevator, condominium, two-car air-conditioned garage with storage, community areas and dune crossover.

Three guest rooms on the second floor of the clubhouse are available to property owners for a nominal fee for overflow guests.
“This opportunity is all about the luxury lifestyle that The Carlton provides, with resort-style amenities and concierge services. You don’t have to lift a hand when you live at The Carlton,” says Curley.
