Bikini Bottoms is an unique, fun filled beach experience like none other!
Designed by world renowned Dungan/Nequette Architects and showcased in the May 2008 Southern Living magazine, Bikini Bottoms is sure to put a smile on every face. Just steps from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf Emerald Coast, every inch is creatively utilized in this non-smoking, whimsical beach home. The inverted floor plan has both bedrooms on the main floor (each with full private bath) and a large attached screened porch to enjoy every moment of Carillon Beach. The master offers a queen bed while the guest bedroom has three twins. Upstairs, you will enjoy the beachy blues and greens of the living room and fully-equipped stainless steel kitchen. The living room offers one of three HDTV televisions, a CD/DVD player, games, books, and everything to make your beach stay memorable. Ocean views, spectacular sunsets and al fresco dining can be enjoyed from the oversized 2nd level sun deck off of the living room. Bikini Bottoms has also features a secluded garden and over 600 sqft of deck space for enjoyable outdoor living.
Bikini Bottoms is in a prime location less than 23 steps from almost one mile of sugar white sand at Carillon Beach. No need to tolerate the Seaside or Rosemary traffic or cross 30A to get to the beach when you have all of the privacy and security of Carillon with the conveniences of a vibrant resort gated community.
Carillon, located just beyond the east end of 30-A, is a gated community of single-family homes located within steps of Carillon Beach, Downtown Carillon (shops and restaurants), 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/sport court, bicycle rental and, of course, plenty of beach front to enjoy. Enjoy live music Downtown at "Grooving on the Green" during summer, or listen to the music of the Gulf right on your own porch. Beach chair service is included (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 away. See Links below for more information. Getting to Bikini Bottoms is now even easier with the opening of our new airport, Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) in 2011.

Loved Bikini Bottoms! The house was perfect for our holiday vacation. So clean and well decorated. The personal touches made it feel like home. Enjoyed the pools, especially the one with the beach view. Neighborhood was quiet and the ringing of the bells added to the feeling of the season! The owners were easy to work with and very accomodating. Would definitely visit again.

Mr. Mandula, I waned to thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful house and we will defintely be back next year!! This was one of the best vacations I have ever been on. The listing is true to its word and is right by the beach. My husband, our 9 month old, and myself felt right at home in this adorable beach house. The bathrooms were in great shape and were really clean. There is noting I hate worse than a nasty, moldy bathroom, so when we showed up to the house, I was definitely impressed with how clean the bathrooms were (especially being a beach house). The "kids" bathroom and bedroom was decorated so cute! We brought a "pack & play" crib for our 9month old son and it fit perfectly between the beds with plenty of room to walk around. The front screened-in porch on the house was great for relaxing and keeping all our beach gear close by without cluttering up the inside of the house. All in all I have to give this vacation a "10" since the house was great an the location was perfect to being close to the beach. Carillon beach was perfect place for a quiet beach getaway.

Our family loved our week at Bikini Bottoms. Our daughters fell in love with the house immediately. Great property, excellent accomodations, and superb upkeep. Very close to the beach and the pools. The community was just what we were looking for, very laid back and quiet. My wife and I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle associated with the more commercial beach areas.

What can I say about Bikini Bottoms and Carillon Beach? WE HAD A BLAST!! The house was just steps from the beach walkover, couple minute walk to pools, and a short walk to downtown for a quick bite to eat if you didn’t feel like cooking…. Carillon Beach was just simply relaxing with its slow pace kick back quietness, never a worry about our 6 year old riding his bike and a car zipping by fast. We flew into Panama City Beach, didn’t even rent a car, rented bikes a couple of days to tour around Carillon to look at all of the beautiful views and gorgeous homes, walked to the store to get a weeks worth of supplies and just called a cab to get a ride back, quick walk or bike ride to CVS or Winn Dixie for a quick supply replenish. My husband is not one to be able to relax with a crowd around etc. He had no problems, so quiet, the beach was beautiful and quiet, not crowded like other places we have been in the past. Our son particularly loved the idea that he was going to be sleeping at “Spongebob’s House”, which was just great, eating meals on the upper deck, outdoor shower was great to rid of the sand you inevitably haul from the beach with you. We will definitely be visiting again!! Thank you Jane & Jack for sharing your home!!

Just got back from our first stay at Bikini Bottoms; great house with an ideal location--steps from beach walkover but only a few minutes walk to pools too. Our family has vaca'ed at Carillon for several years now; we love the location and the fact the n'hood is gated w/ no thru traffic (unlike similar developments down 30A). We've stayed in several different houses in Carillon and would rate this house among our faves. We found the house, amenities, etc. exactly as described in the listing, and highly recommend it.

Bikini Bottoms was a perfect. We loved the short walk to the beach. My kids loved the bunk beds, outside shower and swing on the front porch . The community was so friendly. Could have not been a better beach holiday. Jack, we need to book for next year! Can't wait

What a great time we have had. I don't want to go home. The swing was a lifesaver getting a baby to sleep. Carillon is such a wonderful and safe community for the kids. I will recommend Bikini Bottoms to my customers. What an end to such a beautiful week. Can't wait to return.

Jane and Jack- Thank you for the use of your beach cottage. We loved the short walk to the beach and all the pools! We even enjoyed the option of sitting/eating out on the upstairs deck. All is perfectly decorated for a beach house. Thank you for everything!!
