Shangri-La at Carillon Beach | Private Beach Access Retreat

Welcome to Shangri-La: Your Private Gulf-Front Escape in Carillon Beach. Have you ever dreamed of a place where time slows down, where the rhythm of the waves sets the pace, and where peace and serenity come naturally? We call it Shangri-La - a breathtaking 6-bedroom, Gulf-front retreat in the exclusive gated community of Carillon Beach, Florida. From the moment you arrive, your eyes will be drawn to the emerald-green waters of the Gulf, just steps from your private dune walkover. Breathe in the salt air, feel the warmth of the sun, and let the soothing ocean breeze melt your worries away. Shangri-La is a custom-built architectural masterpiece, a three-story, sky-blue 'sandcastle', thoughtfully designed to blend beauty, comfort, and functionality. Behind it, nestled within a charming white picket-fenced courtyard, is our two-story carriage house, La-Ti-Da, creating a private oasis perfect for families, friends, and even your four-legged companions - yes, we are PET FRIENDLY! A Home Like No Other: Spanning 4,000 square feet, Shangri-La offers a one-of-a-kind living experience, featuring: 6 Spacious Bedrooms & 4.5 Baths - Sleeps up to 16 guests comfortably.

Covered & Screened Balconies - Enjoy panoramic Gulf views without a care. Beach Gear Galore - Paddle boards, chairs, umbrellas, and more for fun in the sun. Enchanting Architectural Features - Including two 12-ft suspended teakwood bridges spanning the second and third floors - a sight to behold! Carillon Beach - Your Private Coastal Paradise. Carillon Beach is a private, gated coastal community nestled on the quiet west end of Panama City Beach. Known for its charming architecture, walkable village layout, and peaceful atmosphere, Carillon offers a rare blend of luxury and laid-back coastal living. Enjoy nearly a half-mile of pristine, private beachfront, three community pools, a full sized lighted basketball SportsCourt, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and beautiful green areas. The quaint downtown area features a coffee and wine bar, salon and spa, fitness center, and a general store - all just a short stroll or golf cart ride away. Adjacent to Lake Powell, one of Florida's rare coastal dune lakes, Carillon Beach also offers opportunities for paddle boarding, kayaking, and fishing.

Absolutely Spectacular Home. Perfect for our Family.

Great experience! The house was super clean, and Warren Beach Rentals group was just so helpful. Brought our parents with us. Having the guest house was perfect for them, they could be with us without being overrun with the rest of the family. 10/10 and highly recommended.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Don’t stay with this company charge you for damage you didn’t do.

We stayed at this property, took photos of all of the rooms before we left in case they tried to say we damaged something then they released our deposit saying that everything was good to go, then turned around and charged our deposit a month later back saying they had damage inside the rental That we have photos showing it was not damaged that we will hold for arbitration reasons until they release our money back, this company is shady and I would not recommend staying with them with her lies. We gambled on this property with zero ratings from VRBO now I see why
