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 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" on Wednesdays 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.

I just wanted to say we all loved our stay at Far Far And Away. This home was lovely, warm, very clean and well decorated. We loved the porches the best. We felt at home every min.Just like being in a home neighborhood but with a backyard pool and the beach not too far away.Thank you for sharing with us. It was a wonderful time. We loved the privacy, the bike rides and the walks to shopping. We felt very safe there and the neigborhood maintenance workers were polite and friendly and I need to include the front gate guards too. This is an exceptionally run community. J Tolleson

The resort and your vacation home was wonderful. We enjoyed having access to pool right across the street. The pool was lovely ... made it out for an evening swim even though it was in the 60's the pool was nice and warm. Also really nice was having the tennis courts so close. They were in wonderful condition and we played almost daily. The access to the most beautiful beach in the world (I have been to many) was very convenient as well. As for your vacation home ..it exceeded our expectations. Super clean and modern. We had guests who all enjoyed their rooms and state of the art bathrooms. My favorite was listening to music while in the bathroom. We had 12 people over for a dinner party one evening so the dining room was perfect for entertaining. The kitchen had everything we needed and now I want new appliances since returning home as yours were beautiful to use. A big thank you for the brand new stainless steel Bar B Que. .it was well used . Great memories with friends and family. When we make our plans to vacation in the area again we will definately be in touch to stay at Far Far Away. I felt like we stumbled upon a "Best Kept Secret"...was so tranquil and beautiful ... hope the area stays that way for years to come. Cheers Charlotte and Richard
