Beautiful small rental across the street from the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was perfect for our stay for my daughter’s wedding. Perfect location. Any issues we had were handled immediately by the staff who were very friendly. Needs beach towels and more hangers. Also we ended up sleeping on the sofa bed (last minute guests joined us) and you need an egg crate topper or something to improve that mattress.

Great house!

We loved this house. It’s right across from the beach access point and the pools/village are also a close and easy walk. The beach is not crowded and the included chairs were a bonus! Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay

We had a great stay at the Lazy Lizard. The house is steps from the ocean. It is an easy stroll to heated pools, shops, and more. The house itself was clean and as described in the listing. We would certainly stay here again.

Cute Beach House Steps from the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Lazy Lizard was a great location and a very cute beach house, perfect for our little family of 4. My only critique is that they need to hire a new cleaning company and schedule routine bug service. When we arrived there were 3 dead roaches on the main floor and all well within viewing/access of a vacuum. There was also a smushed bug on the wall of the main floor bathroom. Then upstairs there were baby roaches in the bathtub. Just seemed like it either hadn't been cleaned in a while, or that the cleaning crew didn't do a full cleaning. The tub upstairs also needs some work, just old and grime on it, and the panes between the windows had holes that I saw bugs crawling in and out of while I showered. Overall, the rest of our stay was wonderful, but I just am not someone who tolerates bugs (alive or dead) in a home that should be cleaned really well before we arrive...and I think most people would agree. I did reach out to Beach Blue about it and they offered someone to come reclean the home, but at that point it was more inconvenient for them to come clean since the home is very small and I have 2 young kids who basically put anything in their mouths that they find on the floor. I cleaned it up myself and proceeded to enjoy the self-cleaned home perfectly fine. Just hopeful that another guest doesn't run into any unwelcomed guests!

Great stay at Lazy Lizard

We loved the house. It was as close to the beach as you can get without being on the beach. The house was very functional and met our needs very well.

Cozy cottage with great location

The property was clean with an awesome location directlyacross from a walkover to the beach. This was our 1st stay in Carillon and we absolutely loved the property/community. The check in and check out process was smooth and no issues. The owner was amazing and communication was great.

Love Carillon Beach

This is our 5th time staying in Carillon Beach. We love the location with Publix across the road, the quiet beach and safe, quaint neighborhood. The Lazy Lizard was just enough for our family of four, very clean and comfortable and just across the street from the beach access. We thank you for a great stay!

Truly an amazing property and location. Beach access was just steps away from the front door. Home had all the amenities necessary for a family of 4. We could not have asked for anything better. If you are looking for peace and quiet away from all the craziness this is by far the best you will find. We plan to be back and even discussed making this an annual family trip.
