  Great place. This was our second stay at Do-Dah Days. The owners are friendly and easy to work with. Carillon Beach is conveniently located to 2 places for groceries, great seafood, and an easy drive to Seaside and Pier Park. The house is super close to a beach walker over and the beaches at Carillon are beautiful. I would highly recommend. We stayed with our 2 teenage sons. The house is nicely laid out and the Sauna was great, especially after use of the Carillon Fitness facility.

  My husband and I, along with 2 other couples visited Do-Dah-Days for New Years weekend! The house is beautiful, and it wasn't on the beach, but has beach views from 2 of the porches! The beach is a minute walk away, across the street and over the dune walk-over. The girls and I used the sauna everyday! It was the best way to get some good girl chat time and continue the relaxation of the weekend! The neighborhood is completely walkable, and you don't even have to leave to get food, go to the gym, or do a little shopping. My favorite part of the house was the "crow's nest" because one of the days was entirely too cold to be outside; when I went upstairs and opened all the blinds I was warm, watching the ocean, and soaking in a little sun. The house had everything we needed to cook some great meals and feel like we were home! Beautiful, clean, relaxing, and convenient to all that the gulf has to offer!

  Owner response: We're so glad you had a wonderful beach trip! I'm a little confused by the 55+ age; anyone over age 25 is welcome. LOVE families & friendly groups!

  The description is exactly as represented. The 3 story design is very unusual but extremely user-friendly and a perfect place for a small family with a small pet or a "girls get away"! Just a few steps to the beach and to the pool and the view of the Gulf from the top floor is perfect. The home is well-stocked with everything you need upon arrival, except your food, and the grocery stores are 5 minutes away. Everything is so clean and well-maintained. The location inside the gated community helped us all to relax and feel right at home. This is so much better than a condo or hotel room. We would absolutely stay again and recommend Do-dah Days to family & friends. The owner was extremely helpful in arranging the change in arrival and departure dates. Wi-fi is missing --- but it was probably a good thing after the withdrawal symptoms went away!

  Execelent choice for peaceful time away from normal daily home life. Enjoyed walking mornings & nights. Front gazebo great for talking with other walkers. Super access to the beach. House is better looking than photos. Owner is wonderful to work with.

  Do Dah Days was a great place for our family to enjoy a restful and fun Spring Break!! We have teenagers and were VERY happy with the house, the beautiful views from upstairs, and I sat on the swing in the gazebo every morning with my coffee. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us - we will be back!

  We really enjoyed our stay at Do Dah Days. The pictures on your website should be updated, because it is so much nicer now. We mainly chose Do Doh Days because it was pet friendly, but it appeared to be in better condition than many places we considered that were not pet friendly. We also loved the location, it was so close to the beach. The dishes could use some updating and the house should have a pair of scissors - petty I guess, but just thinking of things to improve the place. Otherwise - it was super!

  Owner response: Travis, you're exactly correct. I should update the photos, but I am a little computer-challenged. Also, we were in such a rush to have everything completed for Spring Break, that there just wasn't time. I will update soon and buy some scissors. Thanks for your feedback! Without my loyal renters, I couldn't present a fabulous beach retreat for you.

  Location is the key word to describe this lovely beach house. My family spent Spring Break here and Do-Dah Days was the perfect place for us. We were right across from the beach walk-over and the east pool was conveniently located just across the street. The house was very clean, furnished comfortablly and had amazing ocean views from the upper decks. Time was well spent just relaxing on the pergola deck swing while listening to the waves or star-gazing at night. Carillon Beach is a gated community with lots of great amenities to offer and we took time to explore the area and discovered what a great place it is! Do-Dah Days has 2 beach chairs/w umbrella that are available for guests to use and this worked so well for us to use while at the beach. We brought our small dog with us and she loved the long walks we took through the neighborhood which is very dog friendly and kid friendly. The owner was excellent to work with and definitely made sure that our stay would be the best experience. Thank you for sharing Do-Dah Days with us!!

  We just spent 7 days at Do-Dah-Days and it was great and very relaxing. Fall is a wonderful time to visit the beach. The pictures on VRBO are true to the house. It was well stocked and maintained beach house. The only creature comfort missing was DSL/Wi-Fi, but we had access to dial-up and you could pick-up Wi-Fi outside the coffee house in the village. The pool is steps to the right and the Gulf steps to the left of the home. The community is very nice with three swimming pools and several access points to the Gulf. The community is gated, very clean and well maintained. We had bikes delivered from Big Fish Bike Rentals and it worked out great, I understand you can also rent them right in the little village area. While we enjoyed biking, this is a great walking community. There is a Publix and Winn Dixie right across the street from the community. The rental process was very easy. We would not hesitate to rent this home again or recommend it to friends and family.

  Our 7 day stay at Do Dah Days was fabulous!! Our children loved the tower room. And we enjoyed lunch and sunset drinks on the gazebo deck. The owners include lots of little things to make your stay comfortable. The community is so beautiful and well maintained. You will love it !!

  This is a great beach house! Just steps from the beach and the pool. I loved how the rooms were on separate floors - really gave you some privacy. Put the kids up in the tower, and have the master bedroom to yourself. I would highly recommend for your beach getaway. Also, owners are exceptional to work with.
