Leave all of your troubles behind when you enter the doors of “Far Far Away”, your next dream vacation getaway. The stage for an ultimate luxury beach vacation, this new, 4 bedroom, 4 bath, beach home with a 3rd floor game room and Gulf views is in the exclusive, gated Carillon Beach community. With a gourmet kitchen, oversized porches, BBQ patio, ample living spaces and comfortably sleeping 10, 'Far Far Away” is sure to please all of the royalty in your family.
Start and end your day with a tranquil beach stroll: the emerald waters and sugar white sands of Carillon Beach (one of the TOP 10 beaches in the world) are just a short 3 minute walk from your front door (no need to battle the Seaside traffic or cross 30A to get to the beach). Best of all, “Far Far Away” overlooks the largest of 3 pools in Carillon and is adjacent to the recreation park.
You’ll experience total relaxation and privacy in the casual elegance of your vacation retreat. The living room entertainment center holds a 42” LCD HDTV, DVD and CD player to complete the surround-sound theater system. When you’re not watching movies or playing games, you can enjoy the sounds of your favorite music on this multi-room sound system.
The living and dining area is the perfect gathering spot to entertain your family and guests. Your fully equipped designer kitchen contains the latest stainless steel appliances and culinary utensils. The granite bar-top serves as a casual dining area for four. The chef can participate in the family action and there’s plenty of room for your sous chef/helpers.
Your family will love the privacy of four uniquely decorated bedroom suites, each featuring a private bath, TV/DVD system and ceiling fan. The first floor garden-themed PARKSHORE SUITE melts stress away with lush double-sized bedding, luxury linens and a natural stone bathroom. Two of the three 2nd level bedrooms are master suites, each tucked away with a private porch. The CARILLON SUITE, decorated in royal colors, is appointed with luxury queen-sized bedding, reading nook, oversized walk-in shower and a private porch to enjoy that first mug of morning coffee. The bright ROSEMARY SUITE features a wrought iron bed with queen-size bedding, sitting area, double-vanity travertine bathroom with shower for two, and a panoramic promenade view from your private porch resting in Adirondack chairs. Last, but not least, your kids will love the PIRATE's COVE SUITE featuring bunk beds, a treasure load of surprises and a full bathroom with shower and tub. The second level also has a bunk-bed sleeping alcove, where you'll feel like you're sleeping on a cloud.
Sip your favorite drink on the third level game room (with Foosball table) knowing sunrises and sunsets only look this way at the beach. “Far Far Away” is brimming with special touches throughout; granite counter tops from South Africa, Italian travertine bathroom floors, European satin-nickel fixtures, oak hardwood floors throughout, and private porches off the bedrooms and main living area.
Carillon, located just beyond the east end of 30-A, is a gated community of single-family homes located within steps to Carillon Beach, Downtown Carillon, Lake Powell and bicycle paths that will take you along the adorable beach communities of Rosemary, Seaside, and Seagrove, and several state parks. There are plenty of amenities at Carillon; including three pools (one heated, one gulf front), beach club, two tennis courts, kiddie pool, basketball court, play ground, bicycle rental and, of course, plenty of beach front to enjoy. Enjoy live music at 'Grooving on the Green' during summer, or listen to the music of the Gulf right out your front door. Carillon Beach Chair Service is provided (March 1- October 15) for your pleasure which includes two chaise lounge chairs and a large beach umbrella. Pier Park, the Emerald's coast newest desination shopping/theater/resturant complex is just a 10 minute drive. See Links below for more information. Getting to Far Far Away is now even easier with the opening of our new airport, Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) in 2011.
For the quick grocery trip, Publix and Winn Dixie are just 1/4 mile away. For added convenience, a washer and dryer are also included.
And for those of you who must 'work' while on vacation, you will appreciate the recent addition of WiFi high-speed Internet service. NOTE: Please plan on using your mobile phones, as there is no land line phone service at “Far Far Away”.

Far Far Away was simply amazing. It was the perfect vacation home! We've vacationed in P.C. for the past 5 years in some very nice homes, but never in Carillon, so we weren't sure what to expect. It definitely exceeded our expectations. I can't tell you the difference it made to stay in a quiet, gated community where we felt safe and at peace all the time. The owners are wonderful, honest people - great to deal with. We can't thank them enough for accomodating our families. Far Far Away is a spacious house that provided plenty of room for my husband and me, his parents, my mom, and one of his brothers. It's in a wonderful location directly across from the pool, so you don't even have to bother with sandals when you want to step out for an evening swim in the heated pool. SO nice! It's about a 3-5 minute walk to the beach, where you have a reserved beach chair set up wherever you want it and have the most unbelievable views imaginable of the sunset from one of the many walkover/gazebo areas. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, and there is a cute little grill and patio area out back. The community has a chapel with Sunday services located at the end of the brick promenade, which runs directly beside the house. The promenade also leads to the little community shopping area. SO convenient. Oh! And Publix is just across the road from the community. Everything in Carillon is within walking distance, and we enjoyed just strolling around looking at the different homes, several of which we had actually looked at while researching the trip. I can't tell you how happy we were about our final decision. If you're considering a vacation in P.C., Far Far Away is the place! A BIG thank you to the owners! This was the best family vacation we've ever had!Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, families with young children, age 55+.

Our family had a wonderful time at Far Far Away. The location was perfect for us, within a short walk to the beach and right across the street from the pool. The home had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful Carillon Beach community and its closeness to area attractions.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, age 55+.

Far, Far Away was headquarters for the week leading up to our daughter's dream wedding. We arrived on Sunday to this ultimate home and were pleasantly surprised that is was all we were hoping. The home amenities were as written in the online review presentation. Clean, well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing, every square inch of the home was used. The photographs were applicable pictorials of the actual home. The one part not revealed in pictures is the comfortable, home-felt atmosphere experienced while we stayed there. Far, Far Away was conveniently located as it is the first house on the left as we drove into the property.There was ample parking for the several cars and golf cart for the bridal party. The long driveway provided shade for the cars parked there. We were directly across the street from the swimming pool which gave many hours of relaxation and fun memories. The Promenade (next to Far, Far Away) provided amazing backdrops for the wedding day photographs. The convenience to the bell tower and to Walkover #3 where our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding was greatly appreciated. Beach access was definitely manageable for even the lightest walker. The area provided picturesque running, workout areas. We look forward to our next Carillon Beach, Florida vacation and to our Far, Far Away stay.Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, pet owners, families with young children, age 55+.

This is our second time at Far Far Away and once again, we loved it! We ventured out of Carillon this time and saw dolphins and lots more at the pier oppoiste Pier Park, enjoyed the excitement of the "Everglades Style" boat ride at Gator Country, and had a wonderful time on board the 3-hour cruise with "Island Time" where we swam, collected marine creatures, and enjoyed being on the water. We also celebrated a special birthday at "Georges of Alys Beach", only a few minutes drive and thoroughly worth the visit! Most of all though, we relaxed at the beautiful white sandy beach of Carillon and of course the pools too! Thanks Jack and Jane for the use of your beautiful house!Did you find this review helpful?

We enjoyed "Far Far Away" so much! Our daughter and her husband and children enjoyed it so much as well. It was our great-granddaughter's first year at the beach and she loved it!

What a wonderful house! We had an AWESOME time! Everything has been great but now we are sad that we have to leave. We have rented five houses in Carillon and by far this has the most space for five little children. Thanks for renting your house to us... we will be back!Did you find this review helpful?
