Fabulous vacation home!

We love Carillon and this house worked so well for our family. Having a pool was a fabulous addition to our normal, especially with littles that can’t do a full day at the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Loved that we could all sit around the super long dining table for dinner and also on the largest sofa we’ve ever seen for movies! Will be staying here again next year!

This house was perfect for our family vacation. The pool in the back yard is the cherry on top especially with little ones who still nap during the day. Everything was easy to find and locate, we will definitely be back in the future.

Great Family spot

The house and neighborhood were perfect for a large family. The beautiful beach is a short walk and the pool kept our crew occupied for hours. Kids can ride bikes safely and the area is very close to all the restaurants and fun things at Rosemary beach. The house is well equipped to handle a large crowd.

We had a family reunion of 12 adults and 5 kids. The house is incredible and has so much common area space. The rooms were cozy and everyone seemed to be comfortable. The guest house was a great addition for the grandparents that needed some quiet time at the end of the day. Pool is perfect size to relax after a morning on the beach.

This house was great for our family of 9 adults and 7 grandchildren. Plenty of space we never felt cramped The pool was larger then other Carillon houses we stayed in and had some many pool and beach toys for kids We have been going to Carillon beach since 2006 and grown from a family of 5 to16 so have been fortunate to have houses that fit our changing size Tara was so responsive even with my crazy questions Looking forward to coming back

About the host

Hosted by Tara Rosso

Host profile image

Large family with 6 children from St. Louis and quality time with our family is our top priority. We love to keep active and enjoy walking or riding bikes in the morning around the community. We have built this house as a place we can share with our friends and family for years to come and the design was very important to us. We feel we have a true slice of paradise here and want to share it with everyone we can to make those outstanding family vacations. We have been coming to the Panama City Beach / 30a area for most of our kid’s life and have rented many houses/condos and owned a condo for a number of years which we factored into the building of this home.

Why they chose this property

Unique benefits of this house: Life’s a Beach is one of those beach homes that takes your breath away the moment you walk through the door. With every inch thoughtfully considered and no detail left unnoticed, our beach home offers the ultimate getaway. Designed for our large family in mind, it is ideal for multi-generational family vacations. We hope you will enjoy the calming neutral décor, showcasing colorful art and oceanic-blue pops of color. As one of the largest houses in Carillon, with six bedrooms in the main house each with their own baths and add on the two-story Guest house with 2 more bedrooms, full kitchen, living, laundry and 1.5 baths. This allows for some of that key private time sometimes needed for those large groups. With seating for over 20 in our well-stocked kitchen and dining room, it is perfect for catching up with friends and family after a day at the beach and pool. The 3rd floor has a tower room complete with a Wii, Smart TV, sleeping area with walk in Closet, full bath and a walk out tower balcony with a breath taking view of the gulf. The 3rd Floor is our son’s favorite hangout when not out around the pool.

What makes this property unique

We were sold on the setting knowing with the lot and a half it would allow us for more than enough room for our houses and garage (key for bikes and toys – please use at your own risk) but still provides a great backyard / pool setting - truly a little oasis and just a short walk to the beach. We have enjoyed Carillon Beach for many years and hope you will love it too! Please check our calendar for availability for your next dream vacation today!
